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 been experiencing this problem ever since I've had the phone. More often than not, accessing the Gallery will cause the system to freeze and I have to take out the battery to reboot. I applied the OCLF and it seemed to help for a little while, now this phone is back to it's old tricks. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there something I can do to fix it? I'm running stock btw.
I personally have not seen anyone else post that issue. I had an issue before when pics would not show because Media Scanner was not running... the roms I am on lately seem to resolve that though (back then when I had the issue I used an app in the market to scan my media and then the pics would show).
You say stock, do you mean stock JI6... as in you have done nothing to the phone?
Maybe not an option, but why not try a custom rom and see if that fixes the issue... if it does not, unroot and tell Samsung what's wrong and get a replacement.
I usually hate when people mention getting replacements, but you sound like you have a legit problem and not trying to work the system.

yes, this is a common issue on stock 2.1.1 firmware right now, happened to me constantly, when it does this someone told me that when you open gallery, theres a memory leak bug which opens and then phone can't handle so it freezes.
Flash a custom ROM, i use axura 2.1, so far its been the fastest, most stable for me.
idk if this will work but ask for a gallery.apk from different roms where the leak has been fixed, and then try that, or just flash a new rOM.

i had this problem when i just wantes to use stock with root. this is actually common problem with ji6 roms that still use the stock gallery apk.for some reason the stock gallery in ji6 always tends to lock up.there's a fixed version of the apk floating around somewhere.
I had this same problem with JI6, but it went away when I updated to the leaked JK6. This or any recent custom rom should fix the problem for you.

As i said its a memory leak bug, which has been fixed, you should either get a different gallery.apk from newer roms, or get a new rom.
I suggest a newer rom, but its up to you.
If you are running JI6, then this is a common problem for many people.
i had the same problem with my first and second vibrant, i updated to jk6 on number 2 and it went away.
can anyone post the apk to fix this????
Also interested in a the new Gallery .apk.... probably would have to push it using adb? I'm probably just gonna jump right on JL5 tonight.
Hi all! I am running Bionix V 1.2.1 with the dragon kernel5 - all in all, I am very satisfied, but lately I've been running into a few problems that I'm pretty sure I caused during my more reckless period of flashing test kernels (at least, that's when the symptoms appeared). The first and most annoying issue is that the Music Player will play the first song I select without any problem, but at the end of the song, rather than moving to the next track, the app freezes eventually resulting in a force close. Same thing happens with sound player and a gingerbread music app i dl'ed from the market...also sometimes after the watching a video from the gallery. I'm assuming this is because I've corrupted something (perhaps something to do with CorePlayerService?) This sometimes also coincides with issue #2: the notification bar will be inaccessible occasionally, usually accompanied by some general lag, only fixed when I kill and restart launcher.
Now, I know that whatever my problems may be, i would probably be well served to odin back to stock, root, and start over now that I'm done being a jackass--but that seems like overkill, considering how narrow my problem is.
Has anyone else experienced this? (or is that like asking, "i ate some raw, spoiled meat this morning and now I'm violently ill....anyone else experience this?") Does anyone have general insight? Perhaps even a quick fix that obviates the need to spend a couple hours on damage control...?
P.S. if there is already a thread that COMPLETELY covers this, please don't flame me to death....i did at least TRY to find it ;x
This has always been a problem for me since Nero 3. It's the rom not the kernal. I think it's a bad flash. I just odin back to stock and reflash. I tried replacing MusicPlayer.apk in system/app but that still didn't work. I hope someone finds a solution.
Heh...good to know i'm not alone. Also, I don't know if this is at all related, but starting at the same time I noticed quadrant now freezes at h.264 decoding and also had to fc... Guess I'll be re flashing...

Sorry I have to post here, I am a long time viewer but first time Poster
Okay I am having a very weird thing happen… upgraded from SC 2.6 to SC 2.9 (did all the steps Wiped cash, Wiped Dalvak, etc.) phone works fine but periodically (maybe 30 minutes maybe 2 hrs) l I get a black screen and nothing can wake it until I do a hard reset.
This only happens when not connected to power.
I have reinstalled via CWM (Red) and Odin, I have replaced the Modem.bin and applied 2.9.1
My feeling is this may be related to a application as my last ODIN install worked for over 12 hours until I updated applications, but the applications I am running are not that big of a deal
Dolphin HD, Facebook, Youmail, Alarm Clock Plus, SMS Backup+, Titanium Backup, Rom Manager, YouTube, Flash 10.1, Google Voice, Google Maps, Barcode Scanner, Poynt & Widgetoid 2.x
I ran the same Apps on SC 2.6, Balckhole 4 and JT's Vanilla Froyo without issue, I have tried the Voodoo and Non Voodoo installs to no avail, anyone seen anything similar or even better have a fix?
Sounds like the sleep of death issue to me. So far there isn't a fix for it.
Deff the sleep of death. . And the really bad part is.. You can't get calls in that state, and of you receive a text in that state it will go to the twilight zone never to be seen again.

My problem is getting rid of it... I have now flashed 3 different versions of of SC on it SC 2.9, 2.8 and 2.3 and it still exists ..
I may try putting a whole new ROM see if that has any effect!

Ok now I know the problem there is a good thread here, thanks for the guidance http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960080&highlight=sleep+death
I found that my sleep of death only happens when I use the clock app thing. The app semi sleeps the phone then when I touch the screen it doesn't come out of it properly so the next time I turn it off it won't wake. Now I just don't use that stock alarm click thing.

Had a feeling it revolved around clocks.. .. people know beautiful widgets cause sleep of death.. And people report that their clicks lag in froyo.. Froyo has some serious issues.

I had been on Bionix for quite a while when this first happened.
I, was playing a youtube video it said "video playback failed. Touch to retry." It never worked so I restarted the phone, and then it finally worked..... for a while.
I started noticing that when this happened (inevitably after a certain amount of uptime) my videos stores locally would stop playing as well, and so would my mp3's. A reboot would always fix it, but it certainly is annoying).
Fast forward to today, I'm running Trigger, and I'm still getting the same problem. I did fix permissions, I wiped the youtube cache, I wiped the dalvik cache, I did factory reset, but I cannot get media to work consistently.
Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
I should probably disclose that I use titanium backup to restore missing apps with data only, but never any system apps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this issue has me stumped!
(ps.: playback of videos directly within youtube.com also does not work either, and not because of the (this video is not available on mobile error either, but due to this all encompassing issue, I think).

This happens to me the other day and all I did was a reboot and it started working again.

I know what you're saying, it does indeed work after a reboot, but after a certain amount of time, it stops working again, and once again it needs to reboot.
It is kind of annoying, and I wish I could figure it out once and for all.
Hopeless bump.
Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Playback keeps getting broken.
I have this issues aswell. Is there for fix for Bionix V 1.3.1 or any TW roms. My youtube app is broken and its driving me crazy!
if you have the official twitter client installed, then get rid of it. I had the same problem, and read another post about this. The problem never happened again for me after I uninstalled the twitter client.

How do you know for sure that this is the issue. I will try it anyways since nothing else seems to fix this annoying issue.
So far this is working. Been 3 hours without videos on youtube not playing. Usually I have to reboot the phone every 30mins for youtube to work again. Will test this theory....
Why would twitter not fix this flaw in the apps programming?

How can I be sure? I don't. Like I said in the earlier post, I am just relaying the info from another post I read. It also fixed it for me. I don't need rebooting my phone anymore because media doesn't play.
That's why I just stopped flashing up to bionix 1.3. Tried 1.3.1 with some flaws noticed. Went back to 1.3 for 2 months already no hiccups or whatsoever. Running on kb5modem, overstock 2.4.1 kernel, splash of colors 4.1. Some minor system apps were pushed. Modded boot animations and shutdown too. Quads at 1900, 2003 at highest. Gps at 5secs lock with 8meters accuracy. Snappy fast blazing bionix.
