Anyone here experiencing uncalibrated compass or rather if they have installed a compass app and shows different orientation?
Does anyone know how to calibrate well their compass?
Moving the phone in a figure of 8 horizontally doesn't work I've even tried vertically...
I'm using Tiny Compass and I've tried installing it on different android phones and tablets only the grand show a different orientation...
I use always a compass and gps apps due to nature of my work
Thanks in advance..
+1.
Think it is weak magnetic sensor.

the thing about caliberation iis just go to settings->motion->senstivity settings->gyroscope caliberation ... then place your phone on a flat surface and tap caliberate....
this may solve ur problem probably..
otherwise just go to dialer and type *#0*# u will see a new window , select sensor from their and see if all of them are working properly...:good:

then there are two options bro... probably there may be some error (lyk some kind f file missing or things lyk dat) if u r on stock rom just take backup of everything and factory reset your phone... sometimes it happens..
still if u r facing same problems i must say contact samsung servICE center to get ur phones motherboard replaced...as it may also be a hardware bug...
ultimately if u r on custom rom.. ask its developer to help u out..
Anyway I will contact Samsung service center.

I tried this trick which i read it somewhere...
rotating the phone 3 time on all its axis..(x,y.z), sideways, laying flat, and facing the screen.. something like that...(hoping i explained clearly )
I open my compass app then do the rotations and there i got the correct direction of north.... i havent tried yet if when i restart the fone if still have the correct orientation.

I installed paranoid android and then formatted my sd card through recovery CWM and now my screen won't auto rotate at all despite having all options available to auto rotate on. I tried installing viper x 2.0 and reset the calibration and it worked. Installed cm9 again and it was still working. At this point I didn't know it was wiping the sd card that caused the issue so I did it again to get rid of all the left over files from having sense on there and now it won;t auto rotate again. Tried installing viper x 2.0 again and repeating the earlier steps that worked but that isn't working either now. Tried booting into safe mode and doing it there too but still no go....
This was all in a 2 day time period. I'm pretty sure it's not hardware as it stopped working then worked again but now it's not working...
Any ideas anyone? This is very frustrating
EDIT - I installed androsensor and accelerometer, gyrpscope, magnetic field, and orientation all say waiting for event.... Don't really know what that means but thought I would add it in anyway.

Hmm, maybe it's not to do with wiping sd card then. I thought maybe it deleted some necessary files for g sensor but I suppose they are probably installed to root directory...
Has anyone else had this happen? If so did they send it back and get fixed? Did you have it unlocked etc???

Couldn't get that work. Wouldn't let me put all numbers in. I'm on cm9 nightly. But I tired again to boot to safe mode. Does cm9 have safe mode? Press up volume until booted.... I still have access to all 3rd part apps though any way its working again. Wtf?

Really, I don't know what you should do at this point.... Probably we are dealing with an HW problem
And now it has stopped working after a reboot. This is so frustrating... Would it be hardware if it cuts in and out? Maybe the sensor is on its way out or something...Only had it for like 5-6 months. If my one x is unlocked will they still do warranty for faulty hardware? Plus I have a cracked screen. Do you think they will look at it under warranty for the sensor?

Just tried the app and can't do a thing with it. Compass doesn't work. Calibrate just tells me to move it in a figure eight motion. Does nothing.
I wonder if they will repair this If the boot loader is unlocked???

When I have a sense rom installed I can do the re calibrate in settings and after I press the calibrate button the little sensor things wobble around and it completes like normal but still doesn't auto rotate and no sensors except light and proximity return values. Games will rotate to landscape then if I quit home screen will be in landscape but then when I lock it and unlock it the home screen goes back to portrait and still doesn't auto rotate.
I got mine through online optus and our local optus store said they would send it away to Sydney and see if they will repair it even though the boot loader is unlocked. Said the worst they could do was say no we won't repair it. Gotta get everything back to stock first and relock boot loader anyway before I send it...
I'm starting to resent this phone
Especially if it is hardware as it wasn't even anything I've done to it myself.... when its working properly though I love it...

Hi guys m facing a strange issue. I have observed that sometimes my proximity sensor remains on. I tried to find out the app causing it by Force Stopping each app one by one but that doesn't solve the problem. .
I am not using any motion like quick glance which uses the sensor or any other app like turning the screen on off (eg smart cover etc)
only a reboot fixes this issue but after sometime (say few hours or 1-2 days) the sensor turns on. . Can you suggest me what else shall I do? coz m observing more than normal battery drain in stand by mode. . Please help!

Try turning off "quick glance" under settings--> motion.

I also notice this..only now i came to know that it is proximity sensor..will appear as a dim red right and if it stays on, it turns off only if restarted..might be a bug..should we report it to samsung so that they will fix it in updates?
I have noticed one thing that after 2+ or more (random) days of usage if I receive/make a call the sensor doesn't turn off. .might be this is a s/w bug. .but this is what I have noticed after closely monitoring my phone. .

I've noticed this too! Didn't know the dim red light was proximity sensor. But i've noticed it only twice (with battery below 40% on both occasions).
Viber has a known bug that cause the proximity sensor to be always on. If you uses it, u need to update to the latest version i think its v2.2.3.109.

Even though I first got this proximity sensor bug after I turned on "increase volume in pocket" (only 1 time so far), I'm pretty sure it's not related, because I did a few tests and as far as I could tell the phone increases the volume based on its position (and possibly movement) in the second it receives the call. If it's vertical (like in a pocket), or on its side (like in a bag), when you get a call, it will increase the volume. If the phone is horizontal, like on a table, and starts ringing, the volume doesn't increase, and it won't increase even if you pick it up and move it around while it's ringing.
I also thought initially that it uses data from the proximity sensor, but I tested and it doesn't care if it's covered or not when the phone rings, it appears to use data from the accelerometer/gyro exclusively.
I'm try turn all motion off right now. Let see if it can solve the problem
I have the same problem.
I resolve it by pressing volume up + home + power.
Let it restart and so far after about 1mth+ did not encounter this issue any more.
Hope this help :fingers-crossed:
i have the same problem
all motions are off
and still have it random....only restart to close the sensor
Hi,
I have noticed that sometimes the auto screen rotation doesn't work anymore. I have tried to disable and enable again the screen rotation icon but it doesnt help. The only way to restore the screen rotation is to reboot my Note2.
It happens every time after having used a few days my device.
Any idea what could be the reason for this bug?
I am using a stock Rom with root.
Smart rotation is off.

Maybey i found the problem
I maybey found the problem for the screen rotation glich!
I've done my reboots and taking the battery out etc...but after a while the problem kept returning!
Now....i've been wondering around on some forums and i found and read that they have the same issues after the 4.1.2 update!
So.....i tried all the apps on my phone.....exept one!...YOUTUBE!
I have uninstalled youtube and also turned it OFF in the aplication manager!
rebooted my phone!...and gues what?.....my note 2 is running like sunshine and no screen rotation problems! (knock on wood)
Sometimes when you put like a..news app on...some news apps also use Youtube for a movie to show you whats happening wright?
So if you didnt used youtube but did lool at your news app..youtube gets activated without you knowing it!
And then...also yhe screen rotation glitch returned!
Since i put toutube off.....problem GONNE!
But then again.im not a specialist!...im using:
baseband: N7100XXDLK7
Version 4,1,2
Kernel: 3.0.31-679347
I have a unbranded phone!
But ive read on forums that this is a problem for ALL THE NOTE 2's after the update!

Did we ever figure out a real fix for this? Was the true cause of the problem ever even isolated? I am aware of the "auto brightness trick", but have also heard about fumbling around with the multi window feature or opening the dialer to "unlock" it.

i have tried everything from factory reset to restarting , taking the battery out and putting it back in, has anyone stumbled upon this problem, and is there a solution to this problem, whether this is a software glitch/problem or a hardware issue. if anyone can help me please and thanks in advance

hi thank you for the quick reply, i had a look at what you asked me to do and i did manage to find all the settings, however it looks to me everything is working apart from the light sensor one, all the other settings came up as a PASS apart from the light sensor which came as level 0, which i dont know what that means, while i was on the sensor screen i swiped my hand across the sensor and the screen shifted colour from white to yellow, which is a good indication that it is working , however i went back on the operating system and tried the palm swipe and it did not work, niether did the quick glance, and the pan to zoom features are not working either, i did test the gyrocope settings and it came out as a PASS too, could you explain maybe why this may be happening and what does the level 0 on the light sensor option means, please and thank you , i really do appreciate it.
Lavel 0 says to all phones I have tried including mine. As long as the LUX changes it is working.
Now for your primary problem try to recalibrate gyroscope.
Do it by going settings-motion-advanced settings-gyroscope calibration.
If that does not help try clearing cache in recovery.
If that does not help then backup and try reflashing your rom.

Hello in response to your issues with the motion sensor. Have you installed a screen protector on your note 2? i noticed that after installing the screen protector on my Note 2 some of the motion actions did not work properly. So if you do have one on remove it and see if that corrects the issue. :good:
Useful help.
This was a very Useful thread, thanks. I've done the tests and came up vitha a fail when i tried my motion sensor. Is it likely to be broken? I'm going to reset to factory settings and pull of my screenprotector and se what happens before i do anything else. Is there anyone out there who has replaced the motion sensor? Is it soldered to the main board? Hard to replace?
Thanks beforehand. Tommie.
i thnk my sensor is nt wrkin... when i do the test, d color is alredy green nd isnt changin nd is vibratin continuosly?? is it broken or somthng lyk dat??

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Motion Sensor and Gyroscope not working
hi my samsung note 2 was working well for last 2 years bur recenrtly its motion sensor has stopped working.
i have checked all settings, it isnt working at all..
gyroscope and motionsensor tests are fail on checking. please help me, what to do?
I have had the exact same issue. The only way to fix it is to get the whole motherboard replaced. I went into Samsung store and they said that. Issue here is that it costs £145 to replace the main board. The sensors are on the main board itself and that is why it costs a lot to fix. I've been using my Note 2 with no gyroscope for a few months now, going to buy a new phone. Rather buy a brand new phone than get it fixed
just loosen the screw nearest to the microsd card. motion sensor is under it. it work on my phone.

Yeahhh!!!
You are a Hero! I tried nearly everythink since January 2016! I took the screw out, shut down my phone, put it into download mode and pull the battery out.
Im not shure if a restart would do it alone, i did all to be shure. And it now works again. My srew was magnetized! Maybe that was the reason or the chip has
a loosen contact.
Up to now it works great! I thought my sensor was dead.
My sensors are good, this must be software related since it happened at the first boot of a new ROM.
Problem is, even if I flash stock firmware I have no luck making auto rotation and other motion features such as quick glance to work.
Anybody got an idea?
Anyone?
Please this is exhausting

Are you Sure Your Sensors are Good.
Open The Phone & Apply Alcohol to the Sensor Connecting Strips ....
OR
Trying Using a Different Sensor Flex from Your Friends or someone else's Note 2 ...

It must be software related.. When i flashed the leaked 4.3 it was fixed, but after a week stopped again

What apps are you using to test the errors... If they aren't compatible with the leaked 4.3 then that might be the issue? Also kernal compatibility might be what's throwing it off

Well i try to rotate the screen for starter's.. Calibration don't even respond to movement as the ball stays in the center. Gyroscope demanding apps such as flight games dont work. Its not 4.3 as 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 don't fix it either
Same problem since 2 months
i too have the same problem...
i guess i can say that i'm not a noob... searched everything on the internet for this problem...
found no solution yet...
i too thought this was a kernel related problem ... tried many roms and kernels ... even i unrooted my phone and installed the stock ROM ... no help still..
i got the sensors working by accident sometimes ... but they again stopped working randomly...
i didn't open up my phone yet .. and didn't give it to the service center... thinking of doing that in some days
i guess the problem started when i dropped my phone and cracked the screen ... 4-5 months ago .. gave it to an unauthorized repair to replace the screen .. i guess he messed something up ..
but the problem started way after i replaced it ... started giving the problem since 2 months after the repairs...
any help before i spend more money to repairs/replace the sensors? .. \
