[Q] accelerometer part - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, my accelerometer won't work anymore so is there a part for it? or what part is it connected so i can fix it? I tried to calibrate it, but the blue dot just stays in the middle not moving at all..

What ROM are you using?

I dont think its the rom tho.. it worked before..

I had the EXACT same problem.
Flash a new rom and check your accelerometer. Mine stopped working for some reason and had to flash the rom over again and it fixed it.

Itsa hardware problem.. so does anyo.e know how to fix it?

The Compass Thingy On My Phone Isn't Working

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.

[Q] LED Flash not working. Help!

Well, I tried taking pictures with flash and nothing.
Hmm. Phone charged? There is no disabled hidden option somewhere? Well I am sure you already looked into these easy things, you are a senior member here
Hopefully some one with an SGS2 in hand can help you. It would suck to have to send it back to UK. I suggest you contact the seller soon, to get whatever authorization for return they require, before it is too late. You can meanwhile keep looking into the issue.
I've tried mine and 'Auto Flash' does not appear to be working - when the flash is set to 'On' it works fine on mine??
Anyone else apart from the two of us with this issue?

With auto flash the device only uses flash when it thinks it needs it....
Guess you figgered that out yourself also
Download a torch app from the market and try it to see if your led is ok, if so it must be a software problem.

Ok, you didn't mention it. I thought you did, but can't be sure here on the forum (not personal).
Must be some sensor failure i think.
Best still to check the obvious i guess ;-)
Surprised more people haven't mentioned it though

Has anyone tried it on the newest leaked ODIN rom?
I guess I will have to return it for an exchange. Man, that sucks tail!!! They're currently in back order.
Just downloaded the Vignette camera app and Auto Flash works.fine so its not the sensor.
Wonder if there's a bug in the standard camera app?

Just tried that. No luck. This is very frustrating. I may try flashing one of those firmwares from samfirmware.com
get the free tesla light app from the market (the icon looks like an energy saving light bulb)
It should work fully and instantly
Tesla won't work either. I wonder if it is hardware or software related problem. Is there a link for an unlocked SGS 2 stock ROM version to download?

[Q] CM7.1.1 Screen deadzone

The right side of the screen does not recognize touch. I reverted back to Bamf 1.10 and it has no issues. I try to move an app to a screen on the right and it is stuck. It will allow it to go to a left screen. P and : don't work when texting. Any suggestions?
7.0.1
I just tested with 7.1.0 and get the same issue
Baseband 1.48.00.0906w_1,0.01.78.0906w2

I am having same issue using 3xpreSS BoITODJDubHD. So how did you correct the problem. How do you fix the digatizer?
I didn't fix it. I believe it is a hardware issue. The keys on the other rom were bigger so I could still use the p. I still have a deadzone.

yea i have the same issue, however my dead spot is the left hand side...luckily keyboard works in landscape however not all apps alow landscape so thats an issue at time enter log in information. It sucks lol

Hey guys am still having the problem not managed to fix it yet any ideas
Try another rom. If that works, try wiping and reflashing your current rom. If it still doesn't work, it's a rom problem.

so flashing the stock sbf via rsd doesn't fix that?
and by hangs, you mean it opens and just sits there and does nothing?

Download a flashlight app (for example, torch, flashlight, etc.) If it does not work, your camera has an issue and needs replaced. If thats the case, buy a new atrix, the flex cable that the camera is on is hard to find.

Sound like hardware fault... flashing of Roms will not solve this. Google for spares but for what I gather there prity rare now.
I blew mine using cm torch app with full brightness.

Cameras for this phone aren't hard to find. Just go to that auction site and enter MB860 camera flex. Hundreds available and they are like 9 bucks. Also, teardown of the phone is available in the interwebs so anyone can do it easily.
