When I play games like temple run, my phone tilts to the left by itself. Is this hardware related problem? I already tried other roms but the problem remains. There are games/applications that let you tweek the default axis, but only for that specific app. Is there a way to repair this?

I wold like to know the answer to this too, i remember that at the first run i did a calibration setup and i can't seem to find that in the menu, the only thing is the compass calibration that doesn't seem to change anything for the g-sensor. Now my phone is about 4 degrees tilted to the left. PLEASE HELP!
What do you mean at the first run? Are you sure the calibration was for the phone axis? I be searched the web long enough to know that there is no such setting on the ATRIX. The only calibrating thing is the compass and that has nothing to do with tilting(I think ;p)

Mine is tilted 4 degrees to the left too! Could it be a coincidence?

On my phone when I access the hidden menu (type "3845#*506#" on dialer) and go to the device test for the motion sensor the values jump around a lot, for example from -6 to 165, this sometimes effects programs like compass mode in street view. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Is there a way to calibrate or reset the sensor?
To calibrate, wave your phone around in a figure "8".

Thanks for the response, but that didn't work for me, the numbers keep changing. Is this normal? Do your numbers jump around?
MUIU rocks... i love this rom! However, anyone know of a way to configure the compass in this rom? it seems to partially work, for the most part, the accelometer takes over.... if you load a compass or app that uses it, it will face north where ever your phone is tilted up(ex, if you hold the phone level then elevate the bottom of the phone where touch sensitive buttions are... the compass will think that is north..... at first you would think its just plain broken and that it is only useing the accelometer, but if you take a magnet and put it near the phone, the compass will change direction by the magnet... so it seems to me that there are 2 inputs being activated here... with the most prominent being the accolemeter
is this a driver issue or is there any known way to hack/calibrate this?
there are several apps that depend on the compass to work properly(star charts/ google sky ect..)
i really dont want to flast back to 2.2....
Flip it up and down a few times.

When I unlock the phone it always starts up very dim and sometimes it turns bright sometimes it doesn't. I have auto-brightness off and I have my brightness set to 100%. I have to move the slider off of 100% and back to 100% to get it that bright. It is very weird. Anybody know how to fix this?
I have the same problem.

Settings > Display > Auto adjust screen power (untick). Try now.
Been unchecked since day 1. Still does it. Possible that I have a defective unit?

Is it dim on the home screen or certain apps? cuz internet browser, video etc got their own brightness settings built in that you have to change from the settings within the app.

It is dim from the lock screen. Everything once I unlock it is dim. If I lock and unlock the phone like 3 times fast it is fine, but it's a pain in the ass. I'll see if I can take a video of it later when I get home.
I know you said "everything" but try to go to internet browser and disable "auto-brightness" under brightness setting.
Also upgrade your firmware to the latest one to see if that help. My Smart detect is not working and after upgraded it work every single time plus the cell stand by is much improved
I just got my phone back from service, they updated to LF5 - so far it has solved my proplems with dim
I have had 2 handsets that do this now. Its really annoying especially when you are outside.
Basically what is happening is that when your screen dims down before it goes off thats what is happening when you unlock the phone.
I can be using it for 5-10 secs before the full brightness kicks in.
It has nothing to do with power saver or internet. Just running through the home pages and apps list it is doing it.
I am on the latest firmware too.
Does anyone know whats causing it? Is it just a faulty handset (or 2)?
Mine the same. I don't think there bad devices I think its just software related tbh

Well im glad some others of you have experianced this also.
I just hope its something that will be fixed in an update.
It really p****s me off when it does it and im outdoors.
I just noticed last night that when composing a text message, my screen will flicker slightly, like a variation in the brightness every time i press a letter. I'm not sure if this is a sign of a hardware failure about to happen or what, but i'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this? It's not a major issue it just irritates me a little. I use auto brightness but it happens even with it off. I searched the forums and nothing came up so hopefully there isn't something that I couldn't find.

Could be a few things..
Are you on a custom ROM?
Custom Kernel?
Just need a bit more info

I'm using the latest hyperdrive. I checked the known issues and it's not listed there. Doesn't mean that's not the culprit. I don't know the name of the kernel but it's the default option when installing the rom, not ktoonez. I really hope it's not a hardware problem because it will likely get worse

I'd just try another ROM and see how it looks. Sounds like it could also be the kernel or just something not jiving with the ROM.

I believe I have found a fix for this issue, go to settings>my device>display and then scroll down until you see the "Auto adjust screen tone" option and un-tick the box. Hope this helps!
It seems as if random apps are opening when I am trying to use the XZU. Such as trying to drag the top bar down to see the notifications. And everything becomes very sluggish before the phone no longer respnds to touch. If I then turn the screen off, it won't turn back on again, and I have to force a reset with the red button.
What I actually think is happening, is the XDU is displaying the Main Home Screen with the clock n it, but seems to be interpreting my touch as being used on the next screen to the left, where I have most of my app shortcuts, as thse are the apps that I remember starting 'randomly'.
Does any of this make sense or seem familiar?
seem like you have a faulty display.

or dirty screen
Screen is spotless. It's apps that aren't even on the current screen anyway. It might be a rogue app that's causing it. I've uninstalled one and not had the issue again yet. Strange!

What app was it?
Digital clock widget xperia. Might be coincidence but it's not happened since I removed it.

The clock app wasnt the cause. Next suspect is a dodgy looking game from China that I used for testing am ipega controller. It's called Assault.

Yeah, you should probably be a little more careful with the things you install, LOL. Not saying that your average Chinese app is malware of some sorts, but yeah... [emoji12]
Not an app after all. The touchscreen itself was dodgy. Now failed completely.
Anyone know how I can wipe the (unrooted) device completely before I send it back? Power & vol buttons ar still working, as is the screen itself. I just can't use touch to do anything.

Install flashtool, and flash an ftf file.
