accelerometer bug in google sky maps - Optimus One, P500, V General

This happens when I use the search feature in g sky maps or choose a location from gallery. The sky map gets "stuck".and the only way to resolve this is to reboot. (even the "restart Android interface"works) I ran tricorder and scanned the compass and the accelerometer vectors. Comp pass was working on all the axes but acc. was stuck in all axes. The inclinometer app also confirmed this.
I googled and found that people do have problems with compass when using sky map s, but in my case its the acc. and not the compass. I also tried shaking my phone, as stsed by some sites, but thats only for compass issues, so it didn't work for me. I think its a O1 specific issue?
Have any if the o1 users successfully got search in sky maps to work without getting "stuck"?

Just draw eight figure(or just spin few times) with o1 in air, that sometimes helps when acc or compass is frozen.

Already tried those stuffs man, read the post. anyways, did u get the search to work?
Well another strange thing- in "sensor debug" app, the pitch, roll and azimuth values change add I tilt my phone, but force on x y and z axes remain constant...

[Q] [4/28]All barcode scanner apps crash after official froyo update

Does anybody notice the same issue?
My phone is not rooted. After the official update to 2.2 (ED01) I found this problem with all apps on my Fascinate that have the scan function: google goggle, shopsavvy, amazon, etc. Sometimes they crash at starting (goggle will force the phone to reboot), but most of the time you can open the app and scan properly once or twice, then the scanner fails to auto-focus or adjust brightness or white balance, getting no response. Hitting any keys on screen or the back key will only end up with vibrating and screen-blackout. I can only exit the situation by hit home and kill the app in task manager.
I found a similar post around xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894544
The problem is said to be associated with the stock Email.apk and will be gone once you run the email app. But this solution doesn't work for me.
Anyone has more idea?
I just tested out Google Shopper and Barcode Scanner with two barcodes each, and neither had any issue. Have you opened up the camera app since updating? Froyo brought about new camera firmware, so if you haven't opened Camera since updating, that could be what's causing the FCs.
The stock camera app and third-party apps like retro camera both have no issue. The picture-taking function goes well, problems only come when the app need to scan back and forth and auto adjust.

I just tried google shopper and it's working for me.

Thank you for testing that for me. Can more people try out? Am I the only one that have this issue?
If so I assume this is an individual problem that can be fixed by factory reset, although I am reeeeaaaally unwilling to do that.
My phone is all tricked out and everything works great.
I tried on my wife's phone which is stock and it has numerous issues with camera, google goggles, market, barcode scanner, etc... surprised she's not noticed. :/
Rebooted and everything worked.
Google Goggle's might have crashed and caused the initial issue.
So, maybe just a reboot will help you?
Thanks, but I have no luck with that. Roboot doesn't help at all in my case. I even uninstalled the Goggles and the other scanner apps still suffered the same issue.
Google goggles works for me

Hidden Menus

Does anyone know if there are "hidden menus" on these Players? On a phone you access them through the phone dial pad. Like dialing *#0*# or some such string. I see an app called "Dialer" in Manage Applications, but nothing in the app drawer to access a dialer to try anything.
I had come across this about calibrating the compass and wanted to try it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15343119&postcount=16
The link you posted is not working for me.
idk, but concerning the compass, have you tried the figure 8? This video shows how; its not just a horizontal figure 8

Hope it helps!
Sorry, link updated. It seems (from all I've researched), that the compass just doesn't work on 2.3.5, on Galaxy Players... the reason I am looking for any "hidden menus" that might have some sensor settings. I've tried calibrating every which-way, just points in any random direction, then gets stuck (stops rotating).

Amazfit apps

- Facebook lite - Does not install
- Hillclimb Racing - Does not install
- Astro File manager - Does not work
- Wear mini launcher - Installs does not work
- Settings app - Seems to work (this is not an app to enable native android settings)
- Google play services 9.0.82 (Compiled for MIPS) - Installs but FCs
- Google Calendar - Installs and goes through start up screens but won't continue without working google play services
- Google Play Store - Installs but says this version is not compatible
- Clockwork mod Tether app - installs and seems to work fine

Do you know an app that allows you to do repetitions (interval run) based on time, distance, speed/pace, heart rate and register GPX with GPS track by laps?
As this example for GARMIN FENIX 3:

Popular sleep monitor/alarm Sleep as Android apparently pushes a sleep tracking app to Wear devices automatically. I don't know if you can obtain that and sideload it?

newbie question about barometer.
Just received my Amazfit, so likely it is locked? I want to side load one very specific application. I would like an alitimeter with either dial and needle or big fat numbers showing altitude that is based on the internal barometric pressure sensor. (for flying powered paraglider). The accuracy and update rate of the gps would likely be too low, but I can see from the barometer display that it is quite accurate and can sense the pressure change by moving only 1 or 2 feet up and down. I would also like to be able to "lock" on this screen once it is opened so it doesn't automatically return to the main watch screen.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Bummer. I let it update Saturday when I received it. I'm on 1.3.3a. Does this mean I can't even side load a program?
Nop it means that atm you can't update to a dev-rom or get root.
Sideloading doesn't work for 99% of apps out there, so don't get your hopes up.

I know I'm speaking to some very smart guys.... Perhaps If I buy someone a ham sandwich (or $20), they can write an app that reads the barometer and converts to altitude specifically to fit in the format required by the Amazfit.
please update the list and add Watch Droid Assistant

I have 1.3.3a stock firmware and side loading works for me. I successfully run pressure tracker. The app colors are not optimal for the watch and the sensor stopped responding at some moment. But the experiment showed me at least that side loading works.

Why you want to install the Strava app on the Pace?!
Important is only the sync of activity data and this solves the Amazfit App on phone.
I'm sure I've seen some Timer app , and some Workout (repetitions) app for Amazfit somewhere, but are not mentioned here ?

Usual command line mentioned many times:

Also I used apkinstaller for PC to install/uninstall an app. It works fine.

Android compass calibration gets reset on closing app

Hi, all. Was just hoping to get some help with something. And, apologies for cross-posting, but full disclosure: I did first ask the question on Stack Overflow and got no response. I'm not allowed link it here yet, but it's got the same title as this post.
I'm using the rotation vector sensor on a tablet as a compass in my app. It works well enough after calibration (via figure-8 method), but the moment I close and re-open my app, it's all over the place and needs to be re-calibrated again. This happens instantly, without moving around, when outside and in the open. The compass is working, a quick close and re-open of the app, and the compass is off. This test was run on a Panasonic Toughpad FZ-B2.
Other apps, such as Google Maps, don't seem to have this problem. Might I be doing something wrong, or is there some way to persist the calibration state of the compass?

Google maps minimizing

I'm having a strange occurrence. When I am running Google maps and press the multi function (Voice input) button on my Bluetooth earpiece, Google maps goes into a minimized smaller box.
I am using a US T-Mobile Galaxy S9 plus.
Can anyone please suggest whether there is a setting to stop that from happening or possibly confirm the issue.
It's not an issue. Google maps has Picture in Picture support on Android 8.0+

If it is intentional then ok, but I (and not only me, because I can see many issues like this throughout the internet, platform agnostic) face a google maps navigation minimizing randomly and in my opinion it seems like a bug. I assume it has to more with google OS/apps than producer. Phone is Samsung Note 8 but I saw reports like this also e.g. for One+.
Anyone figured how to turn it off? Google maps goes into picture-in-picture every time a notification comes in. Very irritating.
