Hi,
Every few hours my Compass and Inclinometer completely stops working. It only comes back after a reboot. Not a major issue but I was wondering if anyone else saw this.
Thanks!
Define completely stop working. Are the directions wrong? Are there no indication of direction whatsoever? Or are there any error messages?
If the directions are wrong, do a figure of eight.

As in the Compass and Inclinometer stopped noticing that the orientation of the phone changed in any way. With a bubble level app, the bubble never changed with orientation and with the compass app (or Google Maps) the arrow disappeared completely. Power cycle resolved but this is a bit annoying.
Go to phone and type *#0*#. Test out the sensor when your compass and inclinometer fails. If the test shows that the sensor is faulty, it means it's a hardware issue and get it changed.
If it's still working alright in the test, do a factory reset.

Sadly, it's Verizon and that code does not work. I did Factory reset and it still happens.
Now, to add to my joy, the Iris sensor is acting up too (See Google Photo Link)Iris not working
Going to be a fun call to VZ...

after i reset to factory settings i cant rotate and play and games that require accelerometer or gyroscope anyone know how to fix this problem or i have to return my device?
Pain in the Ass
Hello friend,
I've been facing the same problem. I gave it back to my vendor who "did something" and twas working again! before I gave it to him, I was pretty sure twas a Hardware problem, bcoz running the g-sensor test in *#*#3424#*#* wasnt responding. the g-sensor wasnt calibrating and an app called AndroSensor wasnt receiving values from the accelerometer.
And now the same problem has returned. I'm hunting online for a solution myself.

Try that
Also try re-calibrating !

I had the same problem, booting into Safe Mode and then booting back to normal solved my problem, you should try that.
Btw you can boot in Safe mode with holding volume down while doing normal restart.
Hope that helps

hi there
i've the same problem , i've updated the Hboot to 1.31 and then i flashed JB insert coin version , but still i've the same issue , any idea how to solve it ?? this is driving me crazy
It's first sympthom of dead CPU on OneX. Next will be freeze phone and rebooting when CPU is hot. It's Tegra 3 standard problem.
If your Nitro is like mine, then its' compass couldn't find North to save its' life. Or worse yet it might be in the vicinity, but is very sporadic...Makes it just about impossible to use apps like Google Star Maps or get a proper bearing on direction in Nav when you're at a stop.
If you're also like me, you've tried doing the compass calibrations with the whacky waving your phone in a figure 8 to calibrate. But this hasn't fixed my issue.
But then I tried the rotate-all-axis calibration method and now my compass is much better! Here's what to try:
1. Install GPS Status from the Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2
2. Open the app, then bring up the Menu and choose: Tools > Compass calibration
3. Rotate the phone along the 3 axises a couple of times, like in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNJJPeoG8lQ
4. Press okay and your compass *should* be better
NOTE: I just noticed that when I went to test on another phone to compare (I also have a Nexus One), that my Nitro went out-of-whack again and only after a short while from previous calibration! Another calibration and it's working again, but that sucks that it lost its' bearings so quickly like that.
Give it a try and good luck!
Didn't really work for me. I really think this is a hardware issue. Do you think we should demand some kind of rebate for this or something? I know (its somewhere on the threads) that LG officially acknowledged the problem and have yet to come out for a fix. They are knowingly selling a defected phone.
anybody test the phone with any of the new official software?
After calibration compass works correctly.

For how long? Work after a reboot?
After flashing a new ROM?
Yes, it works after reboot. But calibration will be lost after flashing new ROM. I dont know where its data is stored.

still sucks. all jumpy and not accurate.
I calibrated mine acouple of times yesterday. The compass worked, but it was very sluggish or spun too fast, and unless I put it on a table, wouldn't stop spinning.
I tried today, and it worked but was very slow to catch up to my movements.
Tried some sky map apps, and it just sucks. Same with the augmented reality apps.
wish there was a fix - or we at least new the problem.
thinking I may go back to stock and send it in to telus and see if there is a fix. Anybody have a working compass after a hardware swap? or repair?
The calibration did fix (even after reboot) the compass but I've noticed it takes sometime to settle after starting an application that use the compass.
At first it looks like the infernal spinning madness is about to start over again but after a few spins it stops at the correct position and stay there.
Weird...

So at some random point my Gyroscope, Accelerometer AND compass all stopped working. I first realized web pages weren't changing orientation so I tried turning Smart Rotation on and off. No luck. Auto rotate is turned on. I also tried recalibrating my Gyroscope in the settings and still no luck. Everything from games to the browser and even apps to show info on all 3 of these things will not work and the compass reads North/NW all the time. I can't find a decent app that just says yes/no the gyroscope/accelerometer are/are not working, but I can flip my phone around and move it fast, etc etc and the readings don't change on the apps I have found. I wouldn't think it's a hardware issue unless all 3 of these are on the same part? I'm no too keen on the hardware end so I'm kind of blind, but I wouldn't be posting for help if I didn't try everything I could think of. Any help or suggestions would be incredible!
Oh, and also good to know: I even tried full wipe and changing to the AT&T CleanROM coming from v6? of the Jedi ROM thinking it could just be some random thing I missed... Although I did use Titanium Backup to restore everything... Anyways, I'll try any and all ideas. Thanks in advance!

Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zausan.zdevicetest&hl=en and see what is and isn't working. :good:
hope this helps
Edit: btw if you use APEX Launcher, did you enable "lock desktop" option by any chance? Don't know if that keeps your screen from rotating or anything... just a thought!
*#0*#
Then select Sensor and see if they display readings.

Okay, I did the number thing and a bunch of different things came up...
"UPC-A
EAN-13
EAN-8
Code 39
Code 128
Interleaved 2 of 5
Codabar
GS1 Databar"
Do I need to do something here? Thanks for the responses!
*UPDATE*
So it must be a software thing. I used the app retrorom posted about and it seems like the compass doesn't work. But the accelerometer and gyroscope work on both the green and red axis but the blue seems to stay in position.. Not sure which is which (x/y/z). Still unsure if this is a software or hardware issue... I'm running Nova Launcher, by the way.

Hmm ok. I just tried the compass feature with ZdeviceTest and when I move the NoteII left to right and up and down I can see all three lines moving. So that seems not normal that your "blue line" on the compass feature doesn't move. Maybe it really is a hardware issue then, I hope not...
The error message displayed is "fingerprint hardware not available"
Do I need to replace fingerprint sensor or is it a software issue

You may need to do a factory reset so I'd back everything up before trying that though
Thanks for look at the post.
Already done but unsuccessful. Is there anything else I need to do
best option get a non functional phone from ebay and get it replaced

I had the same problem. I buyed a new sensor for 20€ and replaced it. Very easy and simple and works fine now?

Did you factory reset through the back up and reset settings as that's what worked for me
Same here, after update to 8.1.
There many Bugs in Oreo for 5x.
After restart fingerprint work.

Same happened with me, i was in train on my phone and unlocked it with my fingerprint successfully then i came home nothing happened i didn't drop my phone it was in my pocket the whole time, at home when i went to unlock the phone it displayed " Fingerprint Hardware not available", actually this issue happened to me 1 year ago it resolved automatically but now again it's happening my best solution is leave it alone (your phone) and hope future security updates to resolve it.
Hey all.
Switched from a Nexus 6P to the Honor 7X and only really have one main issue...
The gps doesn't lock at all. It can see ~20-25 satellites but refuses to use them. At this point I'm thinking MIUI is the cause, but please give some input.
Here's what I've done:
Factory reset
Changed power optimization/closing preferences
GOT A REPLACEMENT
Went outside on a parking deck above everything else (in 70mph winds!)
Reset A-GPS settings and updated through GPS fix apps
If anyone knows what's up, please tell me. Its pretty terrible driving and having the gps arrow spin in circles or be a few miles away from me.
I thought mine was broken, it didn't even register any satellits. Thankfully a power off/on cycle fixed it. You've done far more, even getting a replacement, so I'm at a loss to explain your issue, becuase it is working fine here for me now on a BND-L24. I used an app in the play store "GPS Status" by MobyWIA to test.
I have gotten the new one to work, now the app lights up like a Christmas tree with all the satellite connections.
Hopefully it stays, the other one worked initially. If anyone has the same problem and did all I did, get a replacement.

So it's noted on this thread for future reference, what were the additional steps you took, if any, to get the GPS to work on the new device?

Sorry for the late reply. I simply reset the A-GPS data with an app while outside
Gps is malfunctioning in my honor 7x.
Dear all,
After factory data reset gps is not working properly in my honor 7x, kindly advise on this to get it rectified..
Alright I've just been through this issue as well. After a factory reset you need to open google maps and then you'll be prompted to enable the GPS sensor. With mine even after a reset the GPS was very inaccurate and sometimes would not lock on at all. I wound up sending mine in for a warranty repair and got it back yesterday. So far it seems much better.
Edit: The images below are GPS status before I sent it in, the returned repair form and GPS status after I got it back. For some reason the after GPS image didn't load right on my first attempt so I'm trying again.
