Nexus 7 2013 Accelerometer & Gyroscope Not Working - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hi,
Stock Android - Not Rooted 5.1.1
I am attaching two images here. I am pretty sure it's not a hardware problem since my other sensors are working so I would like to figure out which apps are blocking these sensors and how to fix.
A quick reboot is a temporary fix.

Pretty sure that this is a hardware issue. Two of the most common issue of this tablet is auto-rotate and touch screen. I experienced the auto-rotate issue a week or two ago wherein placing the tablet on a flat surface face down and pushing the "N" and "S" letters at the back and doing a reboot temporarily fixed the auto-rotate issue. Which if I may say only worked for a few hours.
It came to a point that the reboot and pushing the letters no longer worked. This is the time where I searched and found a hardware workaround: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLCAeBe2hVU this is if you're willing and have the guts to open up your tablet. It seems that the wires connecting the accelerometer/gyroscope and touchscreen "loosens" over time. I've applied the fix a week ago and no longer experience the auto-rotate issue.
Obviously It's still best to send your tablet for repairs if you still have warranty.

I had already applied that fix so was ambient sensor working. Earlier none of the sensors use to work. But now since removing my magnetic case it seems to work fine for today. Will see how long does it last!

Actually disabling automatic brightness and removing magnetic cover has seemed to solve the issue. I am using Velis Auto Brightness and since then the auto rotate has never ever stopped.

[Q] Photosphere and Gyro

Am I the only one that has problem with Photosphere and the gyroscope?

Yeah I got that too. Annoying as f**k.
Screwed up my ppl picture when I was in sphere mode. All upside down.
Anyways it's not final yet so yeah. But still I hate it.

Same problem, using the final Takju OTA - I never get a single lock-on; the point keeps drifting and at best I get one of the three lock light flashing. Given that even the help pages focus on the new Nexus 4, 7 and 10, I'm guessing we'd have to wait for the next point release to get this working.
People have been reporting success with Galaxy S 3, but not the Samsung I9000, so it's probably hardware-related, or at the very least driver-related
I have the gyroscope drifting off a bit on the first shot, subsequent shots are fine though.
Interestingly, I did a factory reset before 4.2 and it fixed the gyro issue! I can't seem to recreate the fix though. :/
Factory reset didn't help me... Seems my gyro is not only drifting, but its slow too. Hopefully Google fixes this =\
Factory reset didn't help me either -- I actually did a full reinstall from the Takju 4.1.2 factory image, because I didn't want to wait until the Yakju update, and then immediately updated to 4.2 via OTA before doing anything else beyond the initial setup.
A similar problem reported against CyanogenMod suggests that it might be due to the specific gyroscope make (the bug was not for the SGN, though). Installing Phone Tools now so I can check my gyroscope there.
No problem out here

Saturday I went to Venice (Italy) and the photosphere was working fine there, now I'm back in Avellino (Italy) and is it not working again.. :/
That's weird..
It was working for me well the other day as well... Perhaps magnetic interference?

I ended up flashing directly to 4.2 with a full wipe, and I have had non of the problems you describe. (Or any of the other problems people have had with 4.2).
I have however experienced while doing a photo sphere that the gyroscope isn't completely accurate. Meaning that if I go back and fourth a double of times on the first pictures, the next dot will be way of and the final sphere will be missing a part at this point and have an overlap at the end.

[SOLVED]Auto-rotate too sensitive on right side

Hello,
My N7100's a little too sensitive to rotation on the right. This just started happening 2 days ago, out of the blue. For the left side, I have to rotate my phone properly into landscape mode but to the right, even if it is tilted 1/8th of an inch e.g. while picking phone up, switching hands or left handed operation, it will suddenly rotate to landscape.
I have tried calibrating the gyroscope some 10 times but to no avail.
Any solution to this?
Thanks!
SOLVED: Read post #8
No one?
It's a bug in samsung touchwiz (4.1.2)..I have it too only solution I got was to use ultimate rotation control it will help or else if you can wait for samsung to fix it in 4.2.2
Here's the app link I hope it helps

@mufaddalezzi Thank you for your reply. However, my problem has not been solved by the app since it doesnt adjust the sensor.
My problem:
Phone thinks its tilted to the right while it is only 5-6 degrees to the right. I cant play games that require motion sensing such as Temple run because the character is running to the right with the phone being perfectly straight.
XDA, i need your help!
P.s: i tried restoring to an older nandroid backup from TWRP but to no avail
Tried. Calibration from the service menu at *#0*# under Sensors and again, no help. This wathe post that fixedit for someone else

Maybe it's a hardware failure(accelerometer or gyroscope)..that means you might need to change/replace it

Sure? I am not covered by warranty and would hate to sell my phone the gyro works fine its just that the calibration of it is wrong, the phone thinks it is tilted slightly to the right
I figured it out. For anyone else with this problem:
1) Boot phone into safe mode (Turn phone off and turn it back on. As soon as animation starts press and hold volume down button - It should say SAFE MODE in the lower left corner of the screen when turned on)
2) Reboot phone
Voila!
Mystery solved. Case closed.

big problem with screen

My big problem, that you can see it on image, is always after I have my note 8 some minutes with screen off. I push power button and it apears something image. After some minutes, or if I shake it a little, or if I touch somewhere on screen (not always), or aleaotory, it becomes in good image, and, it doesn't repeat problem until I close screen and wait some minutes again. One intend to found the origen of problem: software or hardware, I have rebooted note 8 quickly while problem is active, but it resets showing problem from initial splash of note 8 starting process... anybody with same problem?

Looks like a hardware issue. Better get the warranty replacement.

but, when screen goes okey, I can stay hours without any problem touching screen, navigating, playing games... I think that software problem its possible too... I have 4.2.2 , and first day with the problem, apears after I flashed first 4.2.2 rom tryied by me... I have'nt good backup of previous 4.1.2 , my cwm says me a invalid md5 cheksum error... Only, I haven't flashed again a stock 4.1.2 to try... any more ideas? (sorry for my pore english)

never seen another user complain about that one...that is definitely an issue id want fixed via warranty
did you try to do a hard reset? like brand new out of the box?
if it still persists then...then its def hardware
I've seen this before on other tablets and laptop LCD screens.
It's almost certainly a hardware problem. The display cable that connects the screen to the mainboard is either coming loose or nearly broken.
In your case, it looks like the cable or connector is being shifted when you shake it. When that happens, the pins on the cable that carry the vertical data lines are being disconnected, so you see the horizontal stripes on the screen.
Eventually, or through another shake or touch, the failing cable makes contact again and everything seems to work fine. Until the next time it happens.
This problem is only going to get worse and more frequent over time. It's definitely a warranty issue.

Google Maps Zooming Out Problem!

This is the first phone I've had problems with Google Maps. For some reason it's zoomed out following my route there is no say to get it closer. Ive cleared cache and data of the app. No joy. Can't think what else. Making navigation hard as can't seem to follow the route properly. Thanks

Hey, not an HTC 10 owner (galaxy s7 edge) but my google maps navigation just started doing the same thing today, it's a complete pain in the ass. Guess it's an app problem rather than your phone!
Maybe google play services has updated something and broken it!
Likewise on my LG Ultimate II, since yesterday.
I've found that the zoom-out issue only occurs when the phone is tilted (wide rather than tall), and only when "Tilt Map" is checked in the Navigation Settings. Unfortunately, that's precisely how I prefer to use it.
Hmm glad I'm not the only 1 then. Thought it was my new HTC10 being the problem.

I'm guessing it was some update which has screwed with it. Which is REALLY annoying!

I've already tried turning tilt off and on messing around with options doesn't make any difference. I always have my phone in landscape while driving. Haven't had chance to try in portrait.
I have noticed though if I'm on a long stretch of road it zooms right out then when I'm approaching hing a turning it does zoom in Abit more. But it's a stupid function.

Same here Sony Z3c, Send feedback to Google via the app, they obviously farked it up on the last update. I thought it was stuck in 2D mode, but its just zoomed out very far.
I note that as you get to junctions etc it does zoom in briefly, but then zooms out again afterwards.

I haven't had the notification pop up, but I have been having issues with the fingerprint sensor not recognizing my finger after multiple tries. It's getting pretty annoying as I have to switch hands to use my other thumb.

Don't remove fp/any security because you'll most probably have same problem. I'd try reflash firmware via odin, but can't risk losing banking apps pin's because of the current situation.
Sent from my GM1910 using Tapatalk
But the fingerprint is now faster than ever and the animations is also being reduced which is good.
Had the same issue,factory resetting didn't help either ,so had to reflash back to Android 9,no one seems to have an answer yet .

Have you tried some other region that people saying it's all good(eg. UK)? Register all fingers on 9, do ota on 10 and try then?
Sent from my GM1910 using Tapatalk
After the update, I removed the fingerprints, and have added them again. I couldn't add them when the environmental light levels were high or there was any shine on the screen. I'd suggest doing it in the dark if you are having issues. However, since getting the same fingerprint added in low, medium and as high light levels as I could, the fingerpint scanner is much better. Quicker to work and fails much less often. It has improved gradually over the year I've had the phone. Sorry to hear some others are having issues.

Hi. I have the same problem, how could you solve it? Thanks for your time! :good:
In order to fix this issue you need to flash android 9 via odin then register your 3 fingerprints then update to android 10 via odin without wiping data and the fingerprints will be still registered. Ive done it and it works no problem.
@The_Kernel Yes, that's the only way.. This is disappointing, i thought Samsung put their ****te together, but no.
