So, first, i know the vibrant doesn't have a compass, it has some other **** that emulates it.... but that's not the issue here. the issue is, that it's not even functional anymore. It USED to work, but ever since last week, it just stopped. My phone doesn't rotate landscape in any apps, it doesn't rotate in the browser, or anything. Yes, the "auto-rotate" is ENABLED in settings.
I even tried to download a "compass" app to see what phone was reading, and it WASN'T reading.... i downloaded the "bubble" app to see what angle it was stuck at, and "bubble" said it was at +1 degress x +1 degrees. So i hit "calibrate" and now it's the same, but stuck at 0,0 instead now.
So how can i get this working again without wiping my phone? I know for the G1, there was this compass "file" or something we could delete, and it would reset the compass settings, and that worked for me, but what about the vibrant?
Miss read problem
I disagree. My compass mostly worked on the stock rom and a bubble app would work. This is sounding like more than the stock firmware issues.
Yea you're right I missed read his post that it stopped working completely.

If you are using the voodoo lagfix, try flashing a non voodoo kernel and see if the problem improves. A number of us have been having problems recently with the sensors stopping working completely and the common thread seems to be the voodoo kernels. Make sure you disable the lagfix first.

not using voodoo,
using regular original lagfix on a rooted STOCK rom.
i think you are talking about the accelerometers, not the compass.
Mine too.
I also noticed that my Baseband version is T959UVJI5 and the build number now says Eclair where it was "none" (or something like that) before.
Was there an OTA.
I also noticed that the GPS is much, much better.
you're right, its the accelerometer, the vibrant doesn't have a compass. can someone think of a solution?
bumpity bump.

Ok so my Fascinate is obviously rooted and I have the Frost theme on here and that's all I've done. I had SetCPU on here running the minimal setting recommend. I decided to take SetCPU off and when I did my screen shut off but the bottom buttons would still light up. I pulled the battery a few times and that seemed to fix it... or so I thought.
Every now and then the screen will randomly black out or the media scanner thing will be running in the notification bar, once I pull the battery it seems to fix it. I'm kinda lost on what to do, any ideas guys?

Do you have a backup made? What kernal do you have installed. If its an overclpcked one flash the stock kernal. Then go from there.

Weren't you the one that posted the "How to fix SETCPU death" thread? You posted pretty much the same thing and said you had fixed it??

I was gonna say this too. I thought you mentioned needing to keep it in conservative mode to stop this from happening. Or to boot it up kill the process and try uninstalling it that way. It makes sense that you couldnt uninstall something like that while it is running without some issues.
i have the same problem and have no set cpu installed i had jt's kernal and set cpu but flashed the stalk kernal through odin back on and deleted set cpu any would help be great
Ugh I had my first fascinate do this. After much trial and error I decided that it wasn't any certain mod. It was just the phone its self. If its doing this I would recommended taking it back. Use Odin to flash back to stock. Hide the superuser app. Get a new phone while in ur 30 days and start all ovwr

Ya I was the one that posted it. It fixed it but then last night it started all over again :-( I went through Rom manger and fixed permissions. Will see what happens

Since we just got BLN back with the mesmerize source kernels, I was wondering how people's experiences were with the BLN app vs Blinky. I've seen a couple posts here and there about them but not really a lot of feedback.
I think you need blinky with free version of BLN to have the blinking function.
The paid version of BLN has that function so no need to install blinky with it.
I just use the free BLN control app. All I use it for is text messages, and I don't really need it to blink. If it is on, then I have a text.
BLN app worked fine. I didnt need blinky. I got the free version of BLN and it does what I need (It lights up when text comes in)
Any side effects using this app?

None. It has been proven that the battery drain is not noticeable. Like < 1%.
I use Blinky cause Pac-Man is pimp! Actually, it was the first one I tried and it works so I kept it!
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
Meh I was using it for a while but I noticed my backlight would stay on instead of blink like I wanted, so I disabled it.
thanks guys. i tried both separately and i couldn't get the blinking to work with blinky so i deleted both. BLN is still activated even when the apps are gone, just fyi or my phone is a little funky
Ok I'm not good at these threads, but here is the 1st build I've put together. This is built from JT's CM7 and MIUI.US Vibrant.
THANK YOU JT, without whom none of this is possible.
THANK YOU #miui-us, for guidance and a vibrant base to start from.
THANK YOU Nitsuj/TSM for pushing me into playing with this idea.
Working:
Calls!!
Bluetooth!!
3G data
WiFi
SMS
Camera/Camcorder
USB mass storage / sdcard
Not Working:
Sensors/GPS/MMS
Main ROM
http://www.multiupload.com/84140ORXAA
Patch (Must be done in Orange MTD Recovery) "adb reboot recovery" is the best way to get there. 3button is not good.
Theme Manager/SuperUser (Thanks MIUI.US Vibrant team)
Rogue Roaming Indicator (Thanks times_infinity)
Signal Strength is now accurate

Found this while researching the issue.
Work Around for Deep Sleep/No Call bug:
1) Install this app "Load Monitor"
2) In the app settings, check "Add Notification", then check "Wake Lock"
3) Set the update interval to 5seconds
This should prevent your device from deep sleep which is of course a batter drain, however you will receive calls. If its worth it or not is up to you.

Oh boy, Im a MIUI fan for sure. This just made my day no doubt. Thank you andmer, i hope you keep updating this great work.
Is it me or is the fascinate (devs) breaking through the wall to get to a fully functional gb rom? JT seems like he is pretty close off of his CM7 build, and im assuming when that becomes fullly functional this will be too. Our devs our pretty awesome, thank you guys for your hard work!
quick and dirty boot this seemed to work with the cm7 otb kernel as well
nice work been really waiting for this
I don't know if everyone i having these problems but the theme manager force closes when trying to apply a new theme and when an app asks for SU there are a lot of chinese character

I just recently flashed Cyanogenmod 7 and I noticed something. When I get a notification my key will light up until I unlock the screen. I was wondering if there was a settings option to reduce the time of the soft keys backlight or to disable them for good. This wasn't a problem on evil or miui.
Thanks. Running CM7 with glitch kernel ED01
Tk-Glitch is currently working on implementing BLN into his next kernel update, so as of right now no you can't adjust the time or disable it. You can read more here
Thanks for the help man. I guess ill just patiently wait: )

I like that they light up but it would be perfect if we could set an amount of time that they stay lit. Like 5 minutes.
