Hey guys,
Just today my accelorometer stopped working, so my phone won't enter landscape mode or work with games that are based upon gyroscopic movement. I'm running SC 2.9.2 with nitsujs gingerbread theme. I didn't install anything that would have caused such a disruption to my knowledge besides juice defender perhaps. Can anyone help?

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.

Hi there I'm running Bionix with all the updates and just recently began receiving periodic SyncML DM failure notifications. I haven't changed any setting and haven't downloaded any apps. I am just wondering if anybody else has experienced this, what it means, will it iron itself out, just in general what's the skinny. Thanks in advance I appreciate it.
Update: not sure what caused it but two reboots solved it so far. I'm still not sure what would cause it and will try to reproduce it. If anybody gas any info I would appreciate it.

SyncML DM
I'm on Bionix V and mine started this AM. I must have closed the message 10x already. What is it? How can I stop it?
Happens on mine too, running nero v3.

also getting this on Bionix 1.2.1, started about 30 mins ago, rebooted, now I'm getting a message in the notification bar saying "Device Management, Connecting to DM server..."
Use titanium backup pro and freeze the Device Manager 2.0 process. Its for ota updates, which you will want to stay away from if you're using bionix and voodoo.

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this issue but CM7 isn't showing up anywhere in rom manager for me, either free or premium editions. If anyone knows how to fix this I would be very grateful? Btw, my phone is currently running bionix-v 1.3.1 with voodoo lagfix installed, so that might be the issue. Thanks in advance.

They tweeted they took it down while fixing things.
If you guys don't utilize twitter, I would encourage it!
I run evil fascinate with otb 1.3 stock voltage. For some reason, even after fxpms, full wipe.....my screen no longer can be in the portrait position. I also can not utilize any lock screen. How do I fix this?

which version of evil fascination are you using? if you're still using the 3.5.1, i think theres a tsm settings in your settings menu, and there might be an enable auto-rotation option.
i updated to 3.6 and since updating, the tsm settings aren't there for me anymore, but i have no problem with switching from portrait to landscape

I am using 3.51....auto rotate is off.....i can NOT get portrait at all. I also did a full wipe and then tried the com rom....same thing. Any help is appreciated

hmmm....that's really weird that your phone does that with two different roms.. i was gonna suggest you do a full data/cache wipe and flash ef 3.6 but since it happens even with com rom, im stuck as to what might be causing it
Bump for desperately needed help

is your sensor responding at all?
if not odin back to stock and see if it works there then if it still doesn't, chances are its hardware. But then if it does follow the directions to get back to EF
Same issue here. Odined back to DI01 then ota'd up to ED03. I kept having the problem. Called vzw and they are sending another phone. Said it is a hardware issue. Funny thing is it went away yesterday and has been fine since. I guess I will still swap the phone just to be sure.

For some reason my Atrix (running ICS CM7 PreFinal) has random screen on's.
For example, I can be using it, switch the screen off in the normal method, then as soon as I lay it horizontally on the desk it switches back on.
Anyone had this before? Or know how to fix it? I assume it is because of the proximity sensor getting confused?
Have you tried using a another ROM to make it isn't a hardware issue?

I am having the same issue on CM7 12112011 Nightly. I have random display wake ups and in addition I often have the screen turn immediately back on after turning it off.
I hate to say it but it sounds like a hardware issue. To double make sure it is, try a blur ROM. That's what the phone is used to running.

Maybe is some app that activate the screen when you change from vertical to horizontal check your configs and apps, also try another ROM without any app to see if it happens, i think another ROM may fix that.. idk, but i hope it helps ^^

Are you by any chance using Juice Defender?? I think that may be the cause of my issues (posted above). I have been using the same settings in Juice Defender with numerous ROMS, even previous CM7 nightly's and stable CM7 without encountering this before. I disabled the time out feature in Juice Defender and the problem seems to be fixed.

This is exactly the issue I have. I'm not convinced its hardware as the original blur rom didn't do this.

And to update, no I am not using Juice Defender. It is a defacto CM7 ICS build.
