[Q] HTC one V g-sensor not working

All of the sudden my screen wouldn't auto rotate in both apps and normal interface, i haven't downloaded any app recently so i don't think it is caused by an app.
Things i've done to try and fix it: - turn auto-rotate off\on in quicksettings notification bar, did the same in screen settings and again in accessibility
- calibrated g-sensor, which doesn't give any errors
- rebooted phone after calibration or auto-rotate setting change(multiple times)
- downloaded phone tester app and it can't find the g-sensor
I'm on the last update of Suprimou rom with titanium kiss kernel and have been on this rom for a few months now.
Any suggestions?

Here's a link with problems and a few suggestions..
Hope ur g sensor starts working and this s*** doesn't happen with me and other HOV users..

Thanks, im trying some methods out now, really want it to work again because i don't think htc would like it if i'd send a phone in with unlocked bootloader and this kind of problem.
Update, It's working again! not sure how long it will work.
I rebooted several times while holding down volume up button, then turn it off and let it sit for 10 min.
Now it's working

happened same thing to me so returned to the stock then it was fine now again I'am rooted

[Q] auto rotation

Good day all,
I have a problem with my nexus 7 (2013)'s auto rotation .It suddenly stopped for no reason. is there a solution for this problem and if I put a custom Rom does it fix this thing??
Please Help
Thanks

Settings / accessibility /auto rotate screen is it checked?

Does it happen everywhere, even in apps? I would check the settings first and maybe try a cold-boot and then a reset on the device.

it does not work even in the games. it doesn't rotate unless an app designed for vertical or horizontal .
I did I factory reset and it didn't work. If you have something tell me what to do please.
Thank you

I had this problem as well a few days ago. What I did (which seemed to fix it) was I went in recovery and wiped my dalvic cache. 3 days since and only time will tell if this is a permanent solution.:fingers-crossed:

Yesterday I had also a rotation problem:
When I set autorotation to "off“, it always went to landscape mode, regardless in which position it was atm. It was absolutely not possible to lock the screen rotation in portrait mode.
After a reboot all was back to normal - strange though!

mine just got the same problem since yesterday! really need help

My rotation isn't working nor is the gyroscope. Started on stock UN rooted , then I rooted it and flashed kangabean and now the latest official CM build and it isn't working on any of those either. I'm thinking mine is hardware and not software related

We'll turns out that my other nexus 7 tab that I got for my mother is having the same issues with the accelerometer and gyroscope like I am. So I am going to be taking both back to bestbuy and either exchanging them or returning them.

Touchwiz and battery problems

Hi,
I bought Tab S 8.4 recently (3 weeks ago).
I face two issues and I appreciate your help..
1- Toucwiz: it happens frequently after I restart my tablet to find the error message (Unfortunately, Touchwiz stopped working). When I press OK, the screen blanks and starts working fine. I tried resetting the tablet to factory settings, clearing cache, clearing Touchwiz application setting.
The problem goes for some time and comes back. it doesn't really impact the tablet function but it is a kind of irritating.
2- Battery drains: I used to have ipad mini, the battery life was about 5 to 6 days.
For the Tab S, it is maximum three days. taking into consideration that I am using the tablet for emails, browsing, and rarely lite games.
Please, let me know if you face these problems and if you know the fix.
Thanks,

1. Re-flash your device firmware with Odin. Many guides about on its use. Check sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com
2. The browsing time has been shown to be less than SOME other tablets but media play exceeding most others (including mini) of the same form factor. Don't know what users expect for such a thin device device with a very high resolution. There are far more pixels to push
There is also power saving mode and ultra power saving mode. You could also use auto brightness with lower setting.

As your coming from an Apple device here are some info on best battery saving practices for Android :
7 Quick Tips To Extend Battery Life on Android 4.4 Kitkat
http://www.idroidspace.com/best-tips-to-extend-battery-life-on-android-4-4-kitkat-devices/
Specifically for Tab S:
- (I don't use this one as to me it reduces the value of my tablet) : "Select adaptive display off and use basic color better battery life but sacrifice some color". This suggestion came at the beginning of August before at least one update which may have negated it's value.
- Settings:
- Increase the time between services being synced (GMail, Calender... Etc)
- Turn off syncing for any service you don't use
- Turn off Bluetooth if your not using it
- Turn off WiFi scanning once you have added your WiFi access point(s)
- uncheck WiFi remaining alive when tablet is asleep (sorry forgot the specific setting name)
- Anything you can tolerate that reduces screen brightness.
- Turn off auto brightness and control it manually
- Reduce the auto brightness value assuming you still want auto brightness
If that is still not enough then you can install a battery app which tracks "wakelocks" (apps that keep your app awake even when it is not being used). After analyzing that info you can uninstall the worst offenders. Sometimes the worst ones are part of the system or an essential app so you must put up with the drain. See this XDA post for a good battery analysing app which is free for XDA members.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15869886&postcount=2
Likely the 1st link to the 7 tips article will give your the best bang for the buck.
Good luck

The weird thing is that the Touchwiz error appears only at the restart. Then the tablet continues working fine.
it is less probable to happen when I restart the tablet after it is shut down, and more probable to happen when I restart it by command.
It is not stopping me from using the tablet, but it is some how irritating.

Not a silly question.
A lot will be cleared up if you go ahead. You're data should be OK, but always recommend to save it off device.

Problem appeared again... looks like it is related to some application.
I tried the safe mode and it works fine every time I restart the tablet in safe mode.
I downloaded Nova advanced launcher and it works fine so far...

I found the trigger ... Or I think I did
I cleared the Touchwiz data and cache .. so it went to the default configuration. I then started adding my widgets and shortcuts one by one.
I figured out that the Touchwiz fault happens when I add a short cut of an application installed on the microSD card.
I moved all the applications from the microSD to the internal memory and now Touchwiz works fine.
Now going to the microSD. The microSD I have is Transcend cat 10. It should be quite fast, and it is actually fast (R/W). However, I recall some posts regarding Transcend in-compatibility with new Samsung devices.
I have Galaxy S5 as well... same Transcend type and works fine.... BUT ... There is a Samsung application called User's digest for Samsung (or you can find it in the name of Vitamin's for Samsung).. It has a feature to place some tests to the handset. Both Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Tab S show the microSD card test result as "Disconnected"! ... I didn't care that much on the S5 as it didn't cause any problem, but now I started to care after what happened with the Tab S.
I ordered Samsung 32GB cat 10 microSD... should arrive in a week... will let you know about my experience.

It's confirmed now the touchwiz problem while starting the tablet is triggered by microsd.
The transcend I was using was fake. I am using an original one now and I can sense the enhancement in the read speed, as well as no touchwiz problem anymore.
Thanks,

How do I reboot in safe mode in galaxy tab s t705?
Thanks

[Q] Touch Key duration bug - lights stay on when set to stay off

I've a SM-T700 Tab S 8.4 running lollipop, and I've recently noticed a bug. I don't know if it's new since the lollipop upgrade, but I didn't notice it before.
I often use it to read in the dark, so I turn the brightness down and set the touch keys to never light up. However, after a while the lights come on and stay on until the setting is altered again.
Anyone else getting a similar issue?

Hi! I think it's a common bug. I have the same problem and read that many people have it.
I'm not aware of any permanent solution, so for now i keep mine at 1.5 seconds (I'd prefer them off, but thats the best I could find!)
PS: Sorry for my English!

No need to apologize. Your English is perfect.

If the problem's widespread, what devices/ROMs has it been seen on? Is it Galaxy-specific, I wonder.

Same issue here

Same problem here, only on mine the only way I've found to turn them off once they come on is to restart the device. What a hassle.

I have the same problem, regardless of what I set the duration to. It never did this under Kitkat.

could possibly be... anyone with this issue not on the Brazil version?

Yes, same problem here with my new Samsung Tab S 8.4 SM-T700, stock 5.0.2
Putting it to 1.5 secs is the best I can do for now. I'm looking around on the app store to see if there's a different app to control this that might work (aside, the Galaxy S6 came with no way to turn these off and you have to use a separate app to do this).

No need to restart/reboot, for me if I change the setting to something else (e.g., 1.5 secs etc) and then back to OFF it'll work for a while before it stays on permanently again.

I tried that with mine... won't work: no matter what I change the setting to they just stay on until I restart the device. I created a ticket with Samsung support last week, but no response from them so far.

Ah .. ok, that's interesting, thanks for sharing. Hopefully Samsung will issue a fix in the next update. Nice tablet otherwise.

I'm sure most, if not all, knew this, but it is definitely a software issue. I flashed CM 12.1 the other day and the touch keys stay off. Perhaps someone can look into the stock firmware and see if there's a way we can fix it ourselves?

Hey guys, I've had the same bug since upgrading to Lollipop and I found out it seems to be a bug with the power saving mode. If I turn it off, the bug stops happening. I'm also testing power saving mode with the "turn key lights off" option unchecked, and it seems to be working ok. This option can be found under settings, power saving, restrict performance.
I'll keep testing. If anyone tests it too please reply with your findings!

I never use power saving mode, because I'm almost always near a charger, and I also had this issue. I don't think power saving mode has much to do with it. Not directly, at least.

Hi, I'm not using power savings mode, but have the same problem, so I'm not sure this mode is a factor (at least a sole factor).

Hi to all.
Somenone previously suggested this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.notquiteinsane.galaxybuttonlights&hl=en
I've been using it with and without power saving mode for 4 days and so far so good.

Hi,
I suggested this app earlier upstream, however, it ended up not working for me. Not sure how it's working for you, but happy it is. (FWIW, I never use power savings)

g Pad 2 8.0 question on screen brightness

Hey guys i know i own the gpad 2 8.0 lte but i saw other threads say post the question in here so here it goes.
Now on my tablet just bought it a couple weeks ago and ill have the screen brightness set to 40% then randomly when i go to use it ill notice its at 100% brightness. Today i set it to 40% brightness and restarted the tablet and then it showed back at 100%. I then set to 40% again and restarted and it again changed to 100% brightness.
So my question is anyone with this tablet have same issue and or anyone have any idea what the problem would be?
Just a software bug or something? I really dont want to ship this back to get another one but if its hardware then i will.
Thanks in advance .

I don't have your device but you could try Lux Lite in the Play Store.
Just be aware that apps that implement screen filters, as Lux does, can sometimes interfere with installing / updating apps, as in you might start having trouble clicking OK to confirm manually installing an app or updating am Xposed module. Usually a reboot will fix that for a while.

Thanks i tried this however didnt help. I contacted lg support and first was told to uncheck auto brightness i informed him there is no auto brightness on this tablet so he put me on hold came back and told me that its a common issue with the tablet and a new firmware is being worked on and it will solve the issue but he didn't know when or how long it was going to take to be released.
Not sure what to think but hopefully he is correct and that its sooner then later.
