Last week I sent my N7100 to Samsung for repair on a signal problem. When I received it back, the auto rotate wouldn't work. I went into the sensor test menu (images below) and the test show the accelerometer and gyroscope not working at all.
After flashing a few times, factory resets, OTA updates, etc it still wouldn't work. I then flashed Phone, PDA and PIT in ODIN and the accelerometer and gyroscope started working.
After a couple of hours they stopped working again. I've tried exactly what I did last time and don't seem to be having any luck.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?
Thanks

There's really not much you can do tbh. You've done what you could, its best you pay another visit to the service center.

Unfortunately Sammobile listed the firmware incorrectly so I loaded the wrong firmware before I sent it (I used triangle away but the flash counter went back to 1 at boot. I didn't know that until I received it back). I received it back with a note saying my warranty is void as it has modified software.
Fortunately, I eventually got the stock firmware back on the phone, used triangle away and successfully hidden all traces of modification. I contacted Samsung and told them they must have made a mistake, and told them that kies must have installed a corrupt update. They seem to have bought that and have put in a service request to have it sent to a different service centre. It's being collected in 2 days.
Hopefully I'll get away with it and they will repair/replace the phone.

Same problem here.
Hi all.
I have exactly the same problem, accelerometer not working and same screens in service menu. When I press "Gyro Selftest", it reports an error that says "Zero Rate Level Check: FAIL".
Did they fix it, and how (if they let you know)? I'd like to know if I can fix it by myself (if it's a software problem) because I don't have a replacement phone and need it daily.
Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,
Im still disappointed about my screen and looking to exchange my phone pretty soon. But for now I have other issue.
Tonight I was texting with my phone and my battery was around 60%, then suddenly my phone froze and it got shut-off. I tried to turn it on but nothing happened so I removed the battery and the phone turnes on just fine. Then I notice a ~%30 drop in my battery level as it shows in the picture I have attached. What the hell is this and why mu phone froze ??
I never rooted the phone and it is still lock to Telus.
Thank You in advance.

well according tot he usage tracker, there was some serious usage by the drop on WiFi, Awake and Screen
on the other hand that sudden drop, could mean the battery actually had less charge than the sensor detected, so it readjusted itself
Oh so after the restarted the phone detected the actual charge of the phone ? So thata kinda normal ?
How about the frozen phone ? Has anyone had their T989 phone frozen so far ?
Sent from my SGH-T989D using Tapatalk
I've had mine for almost 2 weeks now (stock, not rooted) and it hasn't frozen/restarted/etc.
Also luckily I have minimal screen issues. I would exchange it and hopefully get a better one, because I really love this phone!
Not sure in your case but
i know some root only required apps allow you to push/continue anyways maybe a force close or something caused a freeze

I get "Cannot Connect To Camera" When I use the camera app. I only get it when I use the front facing camera and reboots don't work. Im currently locked out of the camera app because I can't switch to the back camera. I don't have any other camera apps and I wasn't messing with the phone before this showed up. It worked perfectly before

Are you running stock rom or are you on some custom?
The only time I've ever seen that error was when I still had my LG Ally, and when it gave me that error, it ended up being a hardware issue. It was still under warranty, so I sent it in and got a new one. With that kind of error, I'm guessing it's the same trouble, so you may look into whether or not you're still under warranty.
I.m had your problem you must reset factory your phone.
My front facing camera is green and dark, I attached a picture taken with it (it's the xda website). I guess it's a hardware issue, and I'm still under warranty but will they fix it or give me a new phone? I have unlocked my bootloader via the sony website (R800i)

I seem to have the weirdest problem with my phone. After upgrading to jellybean, I've come across times where as I'm on my phone, using Bluetooth, the phone would reset. However, when the phone boots back up, the call resumes and I can continue my conversation. The call didn't drop. Also, if I'm doing something on the phone (ie, send a text message) when I switch between Wi-Fi and network, the phone freezes and I have to do a battery pull to fix it.
I took it to Sprint and the tech couldn't find anything wrong. Any help world be greatly appreciated.
I'm running an unrooted, stock version.

Only thing I could think of would be a factory data reset (which will erase everything).

Have you tried rooting it today and running FreeGS3 rom? see if that will fix it....
I had this issue when running the 10/31 kt kernel for aosp with cm10. Funny side story, I was on a conference call using a Bluetooth headset and I was muted via the dialer. I walked into a bathroom stall, started to go number 1 loudly and carelessly when my phone appeared to reboot. It didn't and it came back, on the call, unmuted. Needless to say I had to do some pinching in a hurry.
I switched kernels and the problem went away. What was unique about that kernel was that it used the latest wifi driver. I haven't tried a kernel with that driver since. Maybe you could try to downgrade your official rom and see if that helps but if try a factory reset first before doing that.

Thanks y'all. I'll try a factory reset first and see if that helps. It's good to know that I wasn't the only one having this problem.

Got the same thing a couple of times today? What Rom are you using? Mat be just a google problem today?
I think Google's servers are just having hiccups. I've had this a few times yesterday and today. The same thing happened for several hours a month or so ago, and it's pretty much everybody, not confined to one phone.
Basically, there's nothing you can do about it, it's Google's problem.
Iv had this too

I've been getting this too. If you go into Settings -> Accounts -> Google, you'll most likely see that that there's an error with the Contacts sync.
Applications -> All -> Contacts Storage -> Delete
Then resync, fixes it. At least for me.
No error for me I reset all acounts see what happens
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda premium
I got the same issue. Just hoping it's a temporary Google hiccup.
I've seen this several times yesterday as well. Good to know I'm not the only one, which seems to suggest that it's a problem with google servers.
Had this problem a few days ago
I am getting this error about 5-9 times a day and its starting to get annoying

Was experiencing this myself yesterday. Seems to have subsided today.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note II (SGH-I317) on the infamous AT&T Network.
Sometimes the sensors on my Note II are not working. It used to happen rarely but now it's getting worse.
It happens random and i don't know what is causing this. Sometimes only few sensors , but today it happened twice that all the sensors are not working.
Here are some screenshots.

Nope, i was wrong. It's not working. The problem is Gyroscope sensor. I tried all of rhe roms, and currently I'm on stock rooted rom and soon or later the problem emerges. Its ok after reboot but i don't know what is causing it. Here are some pics
Sent from my Note II using Tapatalk
Now the gyroscope and accelerometer sensors stoped working and cant get them to work. I tried odin flash recovery wipeed all, wiped cache and dalvik , flashed all roms, cm, etc..pulled the battery couple of times and i dont know what to do anymore.
Any suggestions would be great. Thanks
OK. Update of my current situation.
I have tried almost everything regarding this problem, and now I'm testing the current possible solution. I have flashed the phone with a latest KK along a .pit file and the sensors are working for the last 4 days. Maybe this will be the ultimate fix. So fingers crossed.

Funny thing is, when i flash a new rom, currently I'm on 4.4.4 by usol38, the sensors work for a couple of days and then suddenly stop.
Any updates!!!
