[Q] Calibrate Accelerometer/ How to? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys. I know that that has been ask before but there doesn't seem to be a solution.
The Accelerometer sensor of my GSM Nexus is miscalibrated.
E.g. playing doodle jump and puting my phone flat on the desk makes the "doodler" jump to the right! Thats in all apps! Also my screen roatets while putting my phone on the desk! That is really anoying!
I'm sure there has been a rom where there was an option to calibrate the sensor.
Maybe u guys or devs have an idea how to fix that. It would be really apreciated 'cause I'm not the only one with this problem.
Thanks in advance

I'd like to know this as well. I've had this gnex going on 18 months and have had that problem for 17 of them. I knew how to do it on my old eris, but that method didn't work on gnex.

TP2 Android biggest disapointments... ---> BATTERY METER

Very very thankyou ppls for your hard work... i really appreciate the hard work of the devs.. but can some1 tell me that when the battery metter is fixing.....i only bought this to use android on it but due to unstable battery indcator i m not able to properly get the fun of android on this device.....seriously i have no intrest to use winmo..i liked the keyboard and read that its android compatiable so i bought it .... i know some ppls will say that go buy something else ..... all i need is battery fix and i think many of the ppls here will agree with me....well i for me i m w8ing more 15 days to see if the proper battery fix appears then i will continue it else i will go for Motorola Milestone...i m not saying that these ppls are not working .. all i m saying that all we need is a battery fix with Wifi
w8ing for the ppls opinions
Thanks
honestly man, whats the point of this post? The devs know whats working and what isn't and I'm sure they're working on fixing and improving things. The fact that you can even boot up and run Android on a Windows Mobile phone shows the dedication and work they've put into this so far, its just a matter of work and time until everything is working, have faith and wait it out
dont be surprised if u start gettin some negative responses.
first off, the battery fix wrks great and is very accurate. there must b something u not doing right. i even posted my initial battery readings in the thread with this new build. actually the battery fix is almost dead accurate. i got 8+ hrs. outta of it yesterday. with overclock, with constant use. so nonoverclocked build will probaly bring even longer use.
second, wifi wrks perfectly.
third, why would u buy a device just to run a project build then if u wanted everything wrking? i understand the keyboard thing but unless u got ur device on a good ass deal, kind of silly to buy it just to run something not even fully completed yet. come on now.
Fourth, b4 u bought ur device, did u thoroughly read everything going on with this build or u just jumped in head first?
this is why so many people getting flamed cuz they dont do the research or homework. then come on here posting about why this or that isnt wrking. or what ASSUMPTIONS they have.
dont take this post the wrong way cuz this will probaly be one of the nicer posts towards u. lmfao juss way too many people jumping in and complaining when they wouldve already known the known issues with the build. which in ur case is incorrect. there has to be something u did wrong.
these are questions to ask self why batter fix and wifi not wrking for u.
Am i using the latest builds? Did i thoroughly follow instructions on installing it? Did i install the build with the battery fix in it? Did I break my battery fix by updating the zImage and modules?(which will break the battery fix). if thats not the case, then, Did i update the latest roofts and inirtd files? Did i even troubleshoot the problems b4 posting saying they dont wrk? lol
im not trying to sound like a dckhead..lmfao but im sure the developers would say the same thing basically.
they might have to implement what they doing on the other threads now. if u dont have a certain number of posts, then dont download and try out builds with doing the research first. a moderator stepped in and said that. cuz way too many people complaining about stuff thats already known or complaining about stuff that wrks but they didnt do it correctly.
food for thought, try the latest build. then DO NOT UPDATE THE ZIMAGE AND MODULES AFTERWARDS. only update the roofts and inirtd files.
if u need help getting it running right, let me know. ill be more thn happy to help or assist u, seriously. srry to sound cranky, just woke up n stressed about other things in life..lol
good luck

the point of this post is to know about battery fix.. because i think its damaging the battery...because while turing on the android the led indicator turns on and battery start heating-up sorry dont sound to be rude but please if u cant help dont bother to post you will waste your time...
Would you all kindly stop being illiterate? English words are made of letters not numbers.
On topic, jamb, you could have dropped the silly threats (Imma buy another phone) and just asked the question.
Considering this phone wasn't intended to even run android..... and you bought it without clearly reading through and seeing what was working and what wasn't... yeah I can see peoples frustrations with your question.
Your best bet, as I'm sure you know, if you wanted a perfectly working andoid phone was to buy one that was designed for it OR at least play with someones touch pro 2 who has android running on it so you would know what to expect.
It's called development for a reason, its still on going and there is still a LOT of work to be done and no one knows time frames on this. It's like asking when we're going to mars (all be it that might be a very dramatic example)
Regarding the battery. As was discussed... there is a fix and if it isn't working for you then you aren't doing something right. It's accurate and thats all anyone can hope for. As far as becoming warm. Well it probably has something to do with what you are using on your phone. Internet, GPS, etc etc... all at once. overclocking it is a big culprit for the warmness of phones. The more you tax the phone the more it will become warm.
It wont 'ruin' your batter by using the phone... Just be patient and understand that these fixes could come out tomorrow or could never come! Just what it is.

Your title isn't so much directed at andoid as it is the people who spend hours and hours and hours developing a working version for our phone. So, yes it can be taken as being insulting, with that people are going to see this post and think "who is this guy?"

My battery meter seems to be working just dandy. I did a test yesterday and it was dead on. When in Android I looked at the battery meter and it was about 3/4 full. I opened spare parts and it was at 64%. I then rebooted the phone into WM (6.5, energy ROM) and opened tbattery and it was at 64%
I chared my phone to 100% yester afternoon around 5pm and after heavy use; 5 minutes twitter updates, constant facebook, automaticl gmail check, and non-stop text, I'm still sitting around 50%.
The work they are doing is awesome.

Any battery meter needs to have several complete charge/recharge cycles to be completely accurate (charge phone to 100%, drain until it powers off by itself, repeat at least 3 times). So I would think Android on the TP2 is no different.
Anyway, if the OP got the message that the TP2 is "Andriod compatible", that that was the wrong impression, or at least an overstatement. This is an ongoing project. Given, one where some great folks are putting in tons of work and doing a wonderful job (and much appreciated). But its not perfect, and not the same as a phone which natively runs Android. If that was the OPs intent, then big mistake and he should have done more research before buying.
And its always been posted that the battery meter has issues. I don't know how he could puurchase a TP2 for android and didn't even read the 1st post of the thread.

Anyone tried buying those larger batteries off ebay? I saw one that's lager but isn't larger in size where you'd need a new back case.
How much difference is 1800mAh compared to 1500mAh anyway? Another hour of life?

1st well i completely readed the faqs that which things was working and which r not ..when i was going to buy new fone i was damn excited that the great devs make it happen to run android on TP2 and because i liked the keyboard and android compatible i thought that battery fix will come soon ... i got no interest to use winmo ..now i m fedup with winmo and just want to switch to android completely thats y i just asked for the battery fix.i m not forcing them to make it for me..just asking
2nd well i got 2 options motorola milestone(totally android ) or htc tp2 .. i was not into motorola devices so readed about tp2 is compatible ..well in my country only 5 or 6% ppls use other brand otherwise the remaining ppls use nokia or samsung so i wasnt able to use tp2 before the only option i got was to use it personally .....
i know that many many works need to be done...
well i readed about the fix but it is working without wifi and as i said earlier , i know its sound mean but all i need is battery fix with wifi...well as for battery warming without internet , no gps , no overclocking , no nothing just used with its original files it was just lying on my table and when i put it into my pocket i can feel that the battery is warming up so i have to restart the fone to switch back to winmo...
Your best bet, as I'm sure you know, if you wanted a perfectly working andoid phone was to buy one that was designed for it OR at least play with someones touch pro 2 who has android running on it so you would know what to expect.

android on my touch pro 2

the only problem ive experienced so far with running xandroid on my touch pro 2 (sprint cdma) is the fact that it sometime jumps to airplane mode which at times is frustrating. but for the most part it does really well for me. the sound is loud and clear and the battery holds up ok. you guys are brilliant when it comes to htc. i first owned a samsung moment and totally tricked it out over at sdx. the i got the touch pro 2 and xda has been good to me and my curiosities on toying with phones... when u guys get a fully developed froyo 2.2 up and going i will be one of the first to snatch it up and apply it to my device. thanks for making my phone the neatest and coolest one at my job.. iphone??? iphone4??? not in my hands and mos def not welcome here! keep up the good work.. smooches
Yea, radio on CDMA isn't so great. I just avoid phone calls like the plague in Android.
Although I have to ask... "Smooches"? Really?
Question about Sound
I wonder, is it my phone? or is there something wrong with the sound? bcoz it does not ring? am i missing something?

Well I guess it's better to steal a thread than create a new one...?
Sounds should work. Try the usual... reboot, try again. Reboot, delete data.img, try again. Reboot, format card & get a clean build, try again...

Touchscreen drivers - Very important!

I consider this issue as very important for various causes... First of all it effects a lot of people, second is the fact it can hurt very much the experience with this wonderful phone and another reason is this problem not being PERMANENT. I can 100% confirm that 3-4 months ago I didnt have this problem im suffering from it the last month or so.
Here is a video of the problem itself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj5z08CC5AQ&NR=1
and here is the discussion from last year: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946834&highlight=digitizer
They say that its a problem with the touchscreen driver HTC provides and maybe its somehow connected with the kernel (I dont know anything about developing so...) but I know from my own experience that this problem can happen, I mean a fully functional and SMOOTH touchscreen can Become faulty and buggy screen.
I hope some dev can help all of us who have this problem and do something about the driver\kernel.
Thanks.
ps. I noticed my problem after i flashed few new ICS roms that started to come out... maybe some rom messed up with the drivers ? (i know that after you do all the wipes u can before you install a new rom some information still remains, like the clockwork... and one rom can change the things for all the roms u install after it)
PSS. In the video some people say it can be from water/humidity damage, who can confirm this ? it can turn a good touchscreen to a bad one after awhile in the pocket.
Just want to up this before the weekend... Im considering the pocket phone taking all the sweat is the right reason, I want to purchase a screen protector and change my current one to see if this helps
I'd love to see this problem fixed too. The problem is so annoying, ive been trying to play draw something and it's pretty much impossible cos of the wobbly lines.
I too am convinced this is a driver issue, although i must say i noticed the problem the day i got my desire hd and its been there with all roms i've tried.
I wouldn't mind taking a look into this myself. I know c++ and other languages but i wouldn't know where to start. If someone could guide my in the right direction i might be able to figure something out.

Screen Flicker issues: Possible Statement?

allright guys. After reading the whole thread i see this is truely crazy how much people have this probem. Yesterday i got my second one. And with my second one i have the same issues...I am pretty sure it is a software related issue:
OR
The phone's kernel is ****ed up (battery issues, bad voltage on screen)
OR
there is something wrong with the G-sensor:
Go to your screen settings, and on the bottom of the you can calibrate your G-sensor. When you do this, you see both of the green dots go insane like the screen do!
What do you think guys?
The green dots don't go insane on mine, just slightly up and down. I was waiting for something a little more interesting hehehe

Why? I'm just trying to make a statement on this problem. And try to solve this. Monday i get my third HTC One X. The first X, suffer from screen flickering, mostly on greyish fields the second one, has it too. Both HT23 devices. Both problems.
Personally i'm studying IT, so i only try to get a possible statement with the knowledge i have, and with the custom ROM flash knowledge i have during very very much flashings with my Galaxy S.
I'm just trying to get a possible solution. Is this software or hardware? I dont' know for sure. Maybe Paul O Brien can say something about this problem. I'm out of thoughts.
We don't know, some phones have it some don't. Nothing indicating any differences between phones that have it and phones that don't.
Difficult to tell at this stage. We need a brave soul to check for loose connections but I bet no one will tear their HOX apart to find out.
Knock on wood my second one has no screen strobing as of yet 1 day old so far.
Keep replacing until you get one that doesn't flicker is the only solution for the time being.

What we need is HTC to pull their finger out of their arse, and rip one apart that was sent back doa, and then tell us what it is, tbh they probably are doing this, but need more samples of the problem to be 100% sure of it

Keyboard Freez and Touchscreen Not responding?

Hi Guys,
I've been having some issues lately, I Installed de Jedi-X16 Rom on my Note 2 (Awesome Rom btw) The first Days was running really nice and it still is.. But now i've been having some problems with the Keyboard & Screen (Not really sure if it is the screen itself) When i'm typing sometimes it stops typing like a 2 second freeze then it recognizes again my typing, even when I reboot after a few minutes it does it again, It doesn't do it the entire day but it bother me a little, about the Screen it sometimes stops responding too and I think the "Keyboard Problem" is the same as the screen doesn't respond to my touch, The phone is practically new I have it for like 4 to 5 months.. Do you guys think it's the rom itself? Even if it started a few days after i've installed it?
*** My nephew messed up my USB/Charging port (He is a 5 month baby) and he filled the Usb port with Saliva and it doesn't work anymore LOL, I don't really care about that since it's replaceable, but I pointed it out so You guys can tell me if that saliva could have affected the screen itself and if that is what MAY be causing the problem or is it just the ROM.
I hope you guys can help me
Thanks!

Me personally don't think it's the Rom! I get keyboard lag with my Rom. But doesn't bother me that much. As I don't complain about every lil thing.. if the phone works without any serious problems I'm happy!! :thumbup:
Now concerning that the baby had your phone in his hands. With it upside down, with his mouth on the bottom by the usb port.
Drooling all over it. Pending how long he had it and his mouth on it, the liquid possibly leaked a lil to far into the phone. That might be causing those problem's??
If you personally think it's the Rom then flash another one. And see if your problem persist!!
Just my 2¢®

If it happens again flash a new keyboard. Deviant Development has a thread in Tmo Gn2 forum with different keyboard and themes. I have always use there keyboards with no problems on JediXp
