Hi guys I'm on bionix 3 with JACs OC kernel with the latest voodoo and color fix installed. Since I installed the newest kernel my rotation has stopped working in all my apps. I downloaded an app to test my orientation sensor, everything is set to 0. I also dropped my phone after I installed the kernel so maybe that could be the reason...any ideas? Is there a way to test if items software or hardware related? If it is damaged hardware, should I unhappy and go to t mobile? any advice is greatly appreciated thanks!
Revert your phone to complete stock and see if it begins to work again. If it doesn't, then your best bet is to bring it back to Tmo.

thanks ill try to remove the lagfix and ODIN back to stock.
if i were to take it to Tmo and the stock rom didnt fix it, would they replace it under warranty, you think?
I'm almost positive they will replace it. Just don't tell them you dropped it!

Happened to me, requested a new phone because it would not orient even after wiping.
So I get the new vibrant and go to town and wipe again, removing superuser su busybox, when in one app I realize it orients....
It had been on lagfix and orientation worked. I moved it to ext2 on sdcard, orientation worked.
So I blame an app or something else I have not redone on this replacement.
Btw check your compass, stuck at north too isn't it?
Edit: Wasn't me knocking it off the couch if a wipe fixes it.....

some apps automatically put the phone in landscape, like the youtube app once you watch a video, but if you press back and get to the main youtube app page it will stay in landscape but it wont rotate to portrait at all until you get to the home screen which i have locked onto portrait....ill wipe and odin to stock and see what happens, but what did you t-mobile when you gave it to them? and how do exchanges work exactly? ive never done one before with a phone, do they switch you out right then and there or do they mail you a replacement?
Thanks guys for your suggestions =]

If you turn off auto orientation and exit your media apps, phone is in portrait, makes it more usable until you wipe phone.
I am not sure the stores do it past the 2 weeks, you call tmo and they might ask you to try things until they send you a new phone via ups, you put old one in a box and put the return label on and drop it off at a ups store to send it back, if you take more than 7 days, you get to pay for the replacement
pretty painless process unless you are impatient and say sure, charge me $21 for express shipping.
hm ODIN'd back to stock, works like a charm, thanks guys! must have had a bad flash or something...

doubtful, it's something else, i have not flashed anything since the update.zip to root it, and it failed to orient long time after that, wish i knew what did it

Hmm that is strange, but there were a lot of weird things happening when I had the rom and kernel combo I had before. I had long wake up lag, intense battery drain, and no rotation, but I odin'd, rooted, flashed the same things again and everything works fine now, I even titanium restored some apps and settings ran fix permissions and nothing weird happening yet. Idk what could have caused it before...
My accelerometers are very flaky -- I have been assuming it's related to my nearly-useless compass and my completely non-functional GPS. I use "Digital Speed" whenever I drive my '55 (which has a broken speedo cable at the moment) and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Completely random, even after a fresh reboot.
Same problem here. Running Bionix 1.4. First noticed a problem when I installed a game that needed tilt to operate, it wouldn't work. Then I checked and the homescreen won't flip. Test apps show "no data" or "INIT" and no actual values for the sensors. I'm using the OC Voodoo version, is this a common thread with the problem?
Don't restore system setting from backup. It can kill the orientation. This is my experience.

Didn't.
I upgraded to Bionix 1.5 without Voodoo and the problem is gone. I thought maybe the 1.5 update fixed it, but another user is reporting the problem while on 1.5. I believe the Voodoo kernel is to blame at this point.

A full wipe worked for me, then again i never used anything too crazy. His experience suggests you should try it, oddly enough for me running the calibration tool, the error message talked about a stale nfs file
Reminds me of deleting battery statistics to reset the battery meter on other phones......and the full wiping/odin flashing nukes it.
Everything works fine on the replacement too with the same apps and fixes (minus lag fix) as before (orientation working wasn't found to be working before i already got a replacement on order :/ ), only thing i hate is gmaps 4.5.1 causing a load of 8.x+, enough to once get everything killed (uptime did not change although everything was reloaded, media was scanned as if it had rebooted) and a shut down the other time.
I've only noticed this on Nero v2 and v3. Not certain it is rom specific though (because I can't see how this would be isolated to the rom).
that said, any time I download an app from the market it downloads find, but then it dissappears from the notification bar and it does not install.
I have tried clearing market data/cache
clearing download manager data/cache
rebooting
fix permissions + reboot
using the Market Doctor via Titanium Backup
Anyone else experiencing this, rather.. is there a known fix?
I want to download skyfire so I can remove the stock bookmarks... also not sure why this is an issue for the froyo leaks, but I have read that deleting them using skyfire also removes them from the stock browser.
Thanks!

yeah mine does that too....i'm thinking its a market problem...
but my temp fix is: when it goes away in the notification bar.. just go back to the app in market and hit install/free or whatever and it eventually installs my apps...hope it helps
I've had similar problems with JL5 I'm guessing it's something with the new market.
I've been having the same problem, yea its probably the new market
Eugene Gingerbread Clone+Super IO+OCLF+Slidescreen Pro=Amazing
I had the same thing...went into manage applications and hit clear data on the market app...all is good

I had this problem before, then i accidentally installed this market apk and it started working with no problems, but idk if it'll work for everyone.
I'm running Ginger Clone R2.
Here's the link, you should be able to install it without any problems or anything.

It happens to me about 1/3 of the time. I am running Axura 2.1. It also happens to my wife about 10% of the time, and the only thing that has happened to her phone is market apps and OTA updates. She is fully stock and I am not allowed to touch her phone.
I just go to downloads, click on the app so it loads the app page, hit cancel and then install. This usually kicks it into gear. Another thing I noticed is that the ones that don't download usually have a progress bar that mirrors another downloading/installing application rather than show their own progress. Then when the actual installed app is finished the wrong apps shows either 0% or 100% downloaded but never changes until I cancel and restart.
FYI, neither my wife nor myself are using the new market yet.
Hii all... Wiping the cache partition into recovery mode has done the trick for me...you won't lose any data, first boot after wiping will take some time and maybe that will fix it...

I will try it, but I don't hold out much hope it will fix it. This has persisted for me over my last three ROMs ( a little over a month) and I wiped my cache several times since over that period. Usually if I am gonna do a lag fix I wipe everything temporary that is safe to wipe first so there is less to process. It speeds things up.
Now I am doing something wrong becuase this has happened to me on three different roms a number of times after I odin each one. I cant get past the boot screen. I have tried alot of roms and this is never happened before. So I am guessing I must be doing something wrong over and over. I am not sure if it is the off market apps. I know for a fact when I installed a keybaord off my sd card this happened. But I got rid of it and the apps I install have always worked so I am stuck as if what I am doing to cause all my downloaded and flashed roms to freeze at boot while disllaying thier boot screen that even doing a wipe does NOT fix it. Once it freezez at boot i have to odin and this has happend on three different 2.3.5 roms so I am not sure what to do now.

Let me also add the roms work fine. Its when i install my apps and do my settings that this happens so hard to pin point what it is I am doing wrong.
I install market and off market apps that I know for a fact did caused this before but i got rid of that one
I overclock to only 1.2
I do system settings like sound and tweaks cm has in these rooms

I was flashing a ROMfor the first time from Stock Eclair 2.1
So, as per the Instructions on Simply Honey 5.1 Revolution(JVR GB 2.3.4) Thread,
I flashed the light version ROM using Odin, after doing backup, and cleanup from CWM (so My phone was as from factory, when I was flashing using ODIN.)
The flashing was successful, and the phone rebooted but I saw a lot of pixel tearing during startup until the Android green monster was popping and everything was clear as the language selection menu came up.
I let the phone sit idle for 15mins, after this,, while USB was still plugged in.
I restarted the phone again, and still see the pixel tearing on startup until the Android Green monster pops up.
Iam going to select the language preferences and continue using my phone.
But is there anything which I did wrong, or is there any way I can avoid the pixel tearing during Startup?
Not able to even Receive Calls Now!
Guys please reply!
As I have insufficient no. of posts, therefore I can't post in the thread for Simply honey ROM...
Apart from ,
1.) the screen tearing at startup(as above)
there are other major issues:
2.) If I get a call, the phone would ring for once, and then call will get automatically disconnected with the Network service failing, and a notification would popup that com.android.phone failed or com.android.dialer failed.
3.) Battery is draining at a rapid pace! I know there is fix(/app) to calibrate the battery not showing 100% after full charge. But I observed, I lost around 38% (39 to 1) in around 5hours, with no activity whatsoever, except the alarm(which I think didn't ring when I woke up)
Hey sounds like you ate seeing the rainbow on bootup. You need to Odin the gingerbread bootloaders to clear that up. I believe the simply OP has link out you can search for the actual thread in development section.
As for the calls issue, I haven't had it but there are threads about it in the simply topic. If you search there they have a solution for it....
Hope that helps

You need the Gingerbread Bootloaders!
Please, contact explodingboy70 (my team mate) for further informations!
PS: don't contact me via pm if u have a vibrant, i develop only for I9000 and I9100

thanks for the confirmation. I was not aware u didn't develop for Vibrant as I saw u as one of co-developers of Simply Honey ROM under the Vibrant Thread,but now that u have mentioned I will make sure I don't contact u via pm.

Have been almost a week, still haven't got any reply from explodingboy70.
Will flashing bootloader solve my dialer issue, was super busy this week, didn't get time to flash bootloader, so had been without any incoming calls for the past week.
Any pointers for going back to stock 2.1, so that I can start over this process from scratch?
I just downloaded and flashed the ISC'd Out Rom and I LOVE its set up. However the messaging app does not work it forcecloses along with a handful of other apps. Also it just randomly went back to the boot logo for a few seconds than back to the home screen it never fully restarted. If I need to flash something else to allow for this rom to work can someone let me know or let me know if I need to do something else for it to work properly. I am using an AT&T GS2 by the way.
Did you do all the wiping procedures per the directions? I just moved to this ROM and it works perfectly. I also have the ATT i777
Did you restore system data along with the apps in Ti Backup? I think this could lead to problems as well.
I believe I restored some of the system data I think that was it. Its working done now thank you I thought that could be it but wasn't sure. Thanks again
