is anybody here can fix the gyro problem ?
please can anybody explain, is this software problem or hardware problem ?
thank you, please really need your help guys
Try this after starting a video keep your phone for 5-10 seconds on a flat surface that should work if not make it 20 seconds as that worked for me.
Temporary fix.
3D compass is working, Discovery VR app is working.
But Google map compass and other 360 video are continuously rotating. I guess it's a software bug by Lenovo

yes of course my friend, cos the problem is not in the compass but in the gyro. i still have no idea, is it software or hardware. still, no one around here give some light.
It's a Hardware problem.
For fix just to go to service center and tell them to change the mother board, they won't listen at first request them or pressurize them which ever suits you. I got my phone's mother board changed, now no gyroscope problem or compass problem either also phone doesn't heats up now.

Thank you my dear friend. i went to service center yesterday and yes it is a hardware problem. i got a new motherboard with new IMEI. but i still don't understand why a lot of people got a broken gyro devices. didn't they do a phone test before packing to the box.?

Indeed they do but I doubt they check every single phone and every single sensor of that phone. maybe the batch which we got in India have these problems. Firstly this is the weirdest phone by Moto and there is one more minute problem you might want to know that there is no auto hdr but in official specs it does . This phone from Moto actually sucks.

My DHD has problems with the proximity sensor. I returned the device to the vodafone store (Netherlands), and they changed the device for a new one that worked.
Today, 1 day later, my second DHD is now having the exact same problem with the proximity sensor.
When I make a call, the screen immediately goes black, and the device no longer responds to any button (not even the power button on top). The ony way to get the device back to life is by removing and reinserting the battery.
Video of the problem
When I receive a call, the screen stays unlocked, even when the device is placed against my ear, so I end up with my ear pressing the active screen....
I've read more complaints about this exact problem on the tweakers.net forum. It is still unknown whether this is a hardware of software failure.
UPDATE
The problem seems to be related to the lightsensor, when holding a locked DHD in front of a bright light source, the device wil unlock (as long as you keep it in front of the light).
It might be, that when used in bright daylight a DHD will function properly.
Also, when calling using the headset, the problem does not occur. When inserting a headset in a "locked" DHD, it will wake up.
UPDATE2
Some facts, to "bust" some myths about the problem:
- It seems the problem can happen on all DHD's, not just devices with a particular S/N, software version, carrier (telco) or color.
- It has something to do with the light sensor (which is the same sensor as the proximity sensor) since the device unlocks when held in front of a bright lightsource, some users claim their device works well, as long as they are in daylight.
- The DHD uses a CM3602 proximity/light sensor, the same as a regular Desire
- The problem might not occur immediately after purchase, sometimes it takes a few days before it starts, thus switching your DHD for a new one might only solve your problem for a few hours/days (this is what happend to my second and third... yes third device)
Seems like the same kind of problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811282
Exactly the same post. Nice detail that I'm also a Dutch user bought it at a Vodafone store.
So, that's at least 3 devices reported with this problem.
Is there a way to turn off the proximity sensor? This would mean I have to turn the screen off manually when I make or receive a call, but that way, I don't have to reset the device every time I make a cell
Maybe you guys have found why it failed the google test ?
1-2-3 from the first stock - that is an failure that will come back to all of us...
did you try contact HTC ??
I wouldnt be very worried tbh, this is surely software related else they wouldnt release any batch of cellphones and delay the release for more than just a few weeks.
Can you make a Video and load it up on Youtube?
If we have a video it´s much easier to show HTC the problem... maybe we can load this video up on facebook to the HTC page...
Really bad if this failure concerns all DHDs. But why 3 devices?
I only count LeonM1234 and WizardX?
Edit: Ah I see 2x LeonM1234 and 1x WizardX. Forget this post

A lot of HTC phones have a similer problem. Its S/W related (the desire had it when it was first out e.g. it the screen used to go black and not re-light untill you placed it on a table or the other person hung up)
I would be suprised if 3 phones have the same fault unless it SW related :-D
HTC's new Windows phone seems to have a similar error with the proximity sensor:
As I'm a new user I'm not allowed to post a working link. I try to write it so the system accept it.
www . techeye.net / mobile/one-day-after-launch-event-windows-phone-bug-spotted
If this turns out to be true it's more hardware related than software, isn't it?
i think to cancel my DHD order until that issue will check.

Yep was solved with a S/W update
You can add one more to the list. Friend of mine had the same problem with his proximity meter. I will receive my D-HD either tomorrow or the day after, I'll let you know if it works properly.

That's my video and no, no fixes yet unfortunately. I spoke to Samsung last week and they were still looking into it. I plan to call them again this week.

I am nearly certain that it is a software problem, a bug in the touch controller driver. Famous android Dev supercurio agreed with me, and said tha the touchscreen controller gets recalibrated every time you turn on the screen, which would make sense why the problem goes away when you turn the screen off/on again - yet it affects all apps until you do. It seems like the touchscreen driver is getting a response it can't interpret when playing landscape multitouch games, and it breaks the calibration - and this broken calibration affects everything once it happens. Then you turn the screen off/on again, it recalibrates, and it's fine. For these reasons I believe it's only a software bug, and one they can fix with an OTA update.
If I thought it was a hardware problem, I would have returned the phone. I love the phone otherwise, and I assume they will fix this.

I do not know if you develop .... but you could create a fix that recalibrates the driver every tap on the screen!

hi i just recently bought a galaxy note 2 phablet, im very happy with it every thing works perfectly fine, however i did come across a slight problem which is bugging me alot, as i loaded the phone up it shows you all the tutorials and stuff, for panning and zooming in using motion control.... i did not realise the problem before as i was really happy to just get the phone after so long, My motion sensor and gyroscope functions are not working
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.
gyroscope sensor
Hi,
my gyroscope is burned and i buy it and now i opened my phone and i don't know how to replace it. Any help is welcome...

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.
Hello everybody,
my girlfriend have an a Sony xperia s and for awhile when she having a phone call
and put the phone against her ear the screen does not turning off the buttons are been pressed
by her cheek, this causes a lot of embarrassment when the call is disconnected in the middle of an important call,
most of the time the button just pressed and the other side just hearing an annoying tone.
this is annoying and i don't know how to help her with that.
is there any good solution for this problem?
i tried to look for this problem in the search engine of this forum
and all i found was the same problem but in HTC phone that runs Windows Mobile, that didn't helping me...
thanks for anyone who can help me with that...
Try rebooting/resetting.
If problem persists then the proximity sensor may be faulty. Take it to Sony, coz it's a hardware problem.

Perhaps her phone is dirty, so the sensor won't work.. You know women, they don't care about technology.
Clean the screen left next to the Sony logo real good
My first opinion is hardware issue. It can be said that the proximity sensor is faulty. My second one is software. maybe she install a program that uses or control the proxomity switch that causes it to malfunction having a conflict with other programs. My third is that, as early as possible if its hardware issue, go now to sony service center for them to figure it out, use your warranty card, that may cause no additional problem right? Smile!
You could try re flash the firmware with flashtool

i think that maybe it is an hardware issue,
she don't installing any application just by her self, and she don't have many apps.
i know almost every app on her phone (cause i have them also on my SGS4) and i don't think that the apps are the problem.
but i will look for an app problem anyway just to be sure before using the warranty.
thank you guys...
UPDATE:
i've checked the phone sensor with the new app cpu-z and the app shows that the sensor is working and identifying my hand
when i covering it.
but still there is the problem that the screen does not turn off when she's holding the phone against her ear,
i've watched while she's talking in the phone and she's holding it as it should be.
but as i see the problem is not happening in every phone call but it is happening a lot.
any idea how to solve this problem?
Hello Guys,
I'm facing issue with my Samsung Galaxy Note II proximity sensor and Network Issue on it,
Network Part:- First of all it was working fine, after getting patch for KitKat 4.4.2 and installing network issue arise, like suddenly i'm not able to make call's or receive it or even unable to access 3G internet on it, it will show 2 tower on device and "H" symbol but no calls will be done or receive it, while network goes unavailable.
Proximity Sensor:- Proximity sensor is not working properly from last 15-20 days, I tried resetting device, blowing air on sensor on whole device, executed few application gyroscope explorer and few other, but issue still persist.
Today I came to know, when I press front camera part or near to it, then proximity sensor is working fine with out any for a while, then again I need to press it near front camera.
Thanks waiting for your solution's....

Appreciating your feedback.
It would be great if you explain a little how to install such part! And from where I can buy it.
Many thanks for your valued support.
