[Q] Lost auto-rotate and Screebl - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Running Evil Fascinate 6.0 with PB&J-50. Had been running near flawlessly for a few weeks. Yesterday I lost auto-rotate. The screen just won't rotate, regardless of setting. Also, Screebl Pro, which keeps the screen on when the phone is not lying down, stopped working. I tried fixing permissions with yellow, then red CWR. Tried clearing cache and dalvic. Tried re-running the zip of PB&J kernel. Nothing helped.
Anyone have any ideas?

For rotation issues, idk if it'll fix that app, but for rotation delete m3c_Yamaha.cfg from /data/system and the toggle auto rotation.

Thanks gritting the yamaha file fixed it!

Thanks times_infinity. I ended up using this as an excuse to try Com Rom 2, which I like so far and the problems are gone.

OK, my auto-rotate and Screebl have gone out again, this time on Com Rom 2. Times_Infinity, I can't find the m3c_Yamaha.cfg file. My data folder is empty. I found 3 files in system/bin:
sensorcalibutil_yamaha
sensorserver_yahama
sensorstatutil_yamaha
Can you please advise?

Ok, got it fixed using above advice. I was using wrong program to find the yamaha sensor file-Root Explorer did the trick.

times_infinity's advice fixed my stuck auto-rotate as well. Many thanks.

Is there a way to remove those files without having to be rooted?

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.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
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] Bamf 2.0.5 lockscreen not properly working

Did some searching and didnt find anyone with this problem. I have the lockscreen with the ring but the 4 apps to choose from aren't there and it seems to not care that I change between the 7 available different lockacreens. Anyone have a fix for this or experience it yet?
Would have posted in the BAMF thread but it says i need more posts befote I can.
Did you try rebooting?
First time I loaded, it didn't show up, but after a reboot, it's been working fine.
Reboot didn't work, grr.. I wonder if it has anything to do with spare parts?

One more question...
Did you do the update through Rom Manager or Clockwork Recovery?
Reason I ask, I noticed when I used Rom Manger the first time, not all everything worked correctly and things were missing.
So I restored my backup then went into clockwork recovery and installed the zip.
Then everything worked properly. I know others have reported odd issues when trying to flash through Rom Manager as opposed to Clockwork.
Not sure if that will help you, but you can always give it a try.
I wiped everything and used clockwork not rom manager

Sorry I couldn't be anymore help.
Only thing I could think to do is try and reload the rom again.
About to do that now
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Yea took me 2 full clears/installs to get 2.05 installed correctly and fully
this is so frustrating, i did a reinstall and it worked for like 10 seconds then stopped working again.
i'm restoring my backup with everything that was working right now so i have a phone to use for the rest of the day but tm i'm gonna load up the froyo radio in case i wanna go back to das bamf 1.6.3 until some more of these kinks are worked out (random force closes of apps i wasn't even aware were running lmao)
thanks for all the help as always guys, this rom has SO much potential its amazing.
Would like to update this: the bamf remix Rom after a full wipe fixed literally every issue I had with the old ROM.
Best of luck to other early adopters, and these guys are doing a fantastic job..

I had this issue after trying to solve a separate issue. The lock screen works in conjuction with a group of other operations, and if one of those other operations is stopped/removed/frozen/whatever, it messes up the lockscreen. I had to do a full data wipe and reinstall. Haven't had an issue since.
Yeah I had the problem once again. Driving me nuts
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I have been having this same problem since coming from 2.0-4 to 2.0-5 and remix.
Almost thought I was the only one with this problem. I did a full wipe twice before loading remix. Worked for a while until I fixed permissions then rebooted. No more lockscreen icons
No idea what I did but now my lock screen is back to normal.
I hope this isn't something that happens all the time with this ROM. that would get super annoying
did you have any issues with previous versions?

(Question) Default landscape

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?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
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

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.

Auto brightness and WiFi issues

I have been using this phone with base ROM and have tried other ROMs plus going back to stock. The WiFi is now disconnecting about every 15 mins of use and forces me to turn it off and then back on. It starts working again.
When I restart my phone each time the auto brightness reverts to full brightness each time. It never remembers my last setting. What gives?
I have reflashed, wiped and reinstalled several times and no difference. I'm hoping that it is not a hardware defect now. ;(

Freezing AT&T Hotspots with Titanium Backup might solve your WiFi issue. Don't know about the other problem though.

Gyroscope/rotation issues

When I got the phone ~9 months ago and rotation worked. I flashed CM13 and rotation stopped working. I figured it was the rom. It was annoying having to manually rotate photos and had to find a 3rd party program to rotate video... but I lived with it. But now I need it to actually work.
Flashed the new PE1 stock rom Friday. Rotation worked. But I had a few issues that ended up having me start over again. Then it stopped working.
Now after multiple multiple reflashes, factory wipes, complete wipes of system and all, flashing over and over, looking up and finding a ton of 'fixes' that I have tried. I still can't get it to work.
As it sits right now, it is the 100% stock flash from sammoble. Stock bootloader and all. Not rooted. Nothing fancy going on at all. And it doesn't work.
*#0*# shows the gyroscope as constantly reading all zeros.
Suggestions?
Nothing?

Have you tried recalibrating the gyroscope ?
I've done everything I could find to try. Recalibration was on that list. As was slamming the phone around.
All three sensor axis read zero all the time.
