Hi
I recently bought Amaze. Pretty awesome! I was all happy and clicking lots of pictures and stuff after which I decided to root because of the battery problem. Never mind that all good. But yesterday I randomly opened up the G-Sensor settings in display and I noticed some lag in the movements of those bubbles, I was confused and I knew this isn't how those bubbles move. I downloaded AndroSensor to check if everythings alright. But it wasn't I think there is some problem with my Accelerometer and Gyroscope :l those number besides the Accelerometer and Gyroscope keep on changing even if the phone is kept on the ground without any motion. If someone has experienced this or has a solution to it please help. I really don't want to ruin my experience with this phone.

I would just say get it exchanged man. I haven't had any issues along those lines and rooting shouldn't have any effect on those sensors =/
I also got probably a similar problem with the accelerometer. The phone began rotating the pictures as well as application windows absolutely wrong, unexpectedly and may say randomly.. and it isn't rooted yet..
P.S. I decided to go for the factory reset..
Now re-installing and re-setting all my operational environment
Anyhow the G sensor seems to resume its duly performance.. ))

Try and get AndroSenser from Market and let me know if the accelerometer values keep on changing even if the phone is kept on a surface with no movements.

Well my Amaze also has a prob with the g-sensor. it doesnt work at all there is no auto rotation , nothing. i have just had the phone for 2 days now. any solutions?
Try removing the battery and let sit for about a half hour. I had the same issue and this worked for me. Good luck.

didnt work for me what should i do ? my other sensors are also not working
Got the same issue, at this point it doesn't work at all yet if I flash a rom with out a full wipe it'll work again until I restart. That being the case it feels like a driver issue to me... I'm not sure if anyone has a tool that will allow me to flash the proper drivers?

Call HTC as far as i know the phone hasnt even been out a year yet which means they should all still be under warranty. Htc sent me a new back, a battery and charger for things i made up so i could have back ups should anything go wrong. All sent for free and they dont even ask for the bad parts back. Their customer service is great. Unless you like messing with stuffvif a factory reset dosent fix it. Get a new one. & to the guy with the? About the accelerometer numbers they always dance around a little even when set down flat. As long as the phone rotates correctly and maybe get a game that uses it and az long as everything functions your good dont freak out because the numbers dont hold completely still.
A friend of mine has the HTC EVO 3d X515a she came to me today because I am the workplace tech nerd. She is having an issue with her HTC on the bottom 10% of the screen only on the call screen.
If she moves to any other program or screen everything works fine. I was going to suggest a factory reset or a recovery rom. But I wanted to check with the experts who are more familiar with this specific device.
Any help or advice you can give is greatly appreciated.
Currently she has to hit home, then drag the notifications screen down and hang the call up from there. If she try's to hang it up the screen refuses to respond.
*EDIT* I forgot to mention this phone is on stock and not rooted.
It might be the digitizer but it's strange that it's only on the call screen...

Perhaps clear cache and dalvich cache in recovery and also fix permissions after.
It won't erase anything on the phone or touch her data.

Yeah sounds like the digitizer is bad. Try flashing the rooted stock rom along with the stock kernel and see if that helps.
Sorry perhaps I should mention this is on stock and unrooted so its not a custom rom issue. Should I flash the stock rom in factory recovery? or go the whole root process.
This is more of a help me what to do thread
for the last two days the weather in the northeast has been crazy hot.. both days have gone to +100.
Humidity has been at its worst. I noticed that my phone started acting weird, in the sense that the capacitive lights kept flickering.
I had done the init.post.boot before so they should be off!!
And now some letters are not responding, however is only when the phone is vertical. -- the letter , the delete(backspace) and the enter key dont respond.
Strange however, they do respond when i rotate the phone horizontally.
Im running Eclizpe's 5.1 rom. I have tried wiping data and installing all fresh to no avail
I have run permissions and nada.
At this point i think its a hardware issue, but since i have S-Off, am I SOL?

Yes it has been hot as to why that is happening i'm not quite sure it could be HW but wait until sunday as it is supposed to be 82
You should check the water damage indicators behind the sides of the battery. If its white, you may be able to send it for warranty. S-Off really shouldn't matter (correct me if I'm wrong) , what matters is that you need to be running a stock rom, a stock recovery, and have it unrooted. Im sure something else too but I can't remember.

And a locked bootloader/s-on.
i did check the indicators both on phone and on battery, both are white so i know no water damage. Phone hasnt been dropped or anything like that.. I think it was just a mix of humidity and maybe a little sweat from when ppl wouldnt stop calling

Was about to add this here, but a search led me to your OP and link to my post on MikMik. Just happy people are getting the info.
So here is a copy of my post.
What is safe mode and how do I use it?
Safe mode is a method that allows the device to run with only essential applications. This is beneficial for troubleshooting 3rd party applications.
If and when you have strange problems with your phone, I would try this before a factory reset or even re-flashing a rom. If your problem goes away in safe mode, you know it is some software that safe mode disabled thats the problem.
From what I read, it has always been a part of the Android OS. But not all devices get there the same way, there is no standard other than it is always hardware buttons.
I learned about it from a HTC Tech, but he didn’t know how to enable it on this device. He told me to hold the power & menu buttons while booting. As you know we don’t have a menu button.
How to Enable on the EVO 4g LTE?
Boot or Reboot your phone.
When the “HTC quietly brilliant” splash screen comes up, press and hold volume down, until you get a long vibrate response. Then you can release the volume button.
Now when your phone is booted, you will see the words “safe mode” in the bottom left corner of your screen.
How to Disable on the EVO 4g LTE?
Just reboot. That’s all.
Something you should know before you try out Safe Mode.
Your widgets, mostly 3rd party widgets will be missing from your screen, or broke. Just replace them on your screen and all will be fine.
Hope this helps someone, someday, someway!
Hahaha
Thanks for posting this. I got into safe mode once on accident and saw it on my screen and had no idea what the hell it meant, so I was able to reboot to remove it.

I have a question HTC was trying to help me get to safe mode and he had me hold down the down volume button and I got to the boot screen. But my phone is doing this wierd thing where it is constantly rebooting over and over again. I let the battery drain and now I am charging it to full but even in the boot screen and I hit reboot or fast reboot it doesn't take me to my home screen it keeps rebooting over and over. So I am guessing I can't get to safe mode if it doesn't boot to the home screen. Cause HTC said in safe mode he could see what app or what is causing the hang up to make my phone reboot and reboot over and over. I really don't want to do a hard reset but am guessing I'll have to. But I have already activated and used Google Wallet and read you have to clear it out before doing a hard reset or it will brick your phone. HTC said that's not true. I don't know what to do.

i just tried it!! works fine
What to go into safemode. HTC was gonna have me do it and he couldn't see in the manual how to do it but my phone is stuck it won't go to my home screen so I can't get to safemode. My phone keeps rebooting without going to my home screen I am stuck on the HTC screen to the Sprint screen to the HTC Beats audio screen and it's in a loop doing the same 3 things over and over.. I'm afraid to hard reset because people say it can brick your phone something to do with Google Wallet. HTC said that's not true I don't know. Sprint said take it to the store tomorrow but if I have to hard reset I would rather just do it myself why bother with the store.

You're bootlooping. Why.? Did you flash an AOSP ROM without fastboot flashing the boot.IMG?

No I am not Rooted. All of a sudden I saw my phone was rebooting this am and it just goes back and forth from the HTC white screen to the Sprint Logo screen to the white HTC beats Audio Screen over and over it reboots to the same 3 screens. Won't go to my home screen so I am stuck with no phone until I do a hard reset. But I don't know if it will fry my google wallet people are saying it does something to the secure element and makes it unusable. I don't know. My phone is turned off until tomorrow when I can call HTC back or take it to the store.

Rose, take this how you want. I had set up GW and then forgot and wiped my phone before flashing a new rom. I did this 3 times and it's still fine. Supposedly the important wallet stuff is stored in the cloud now since one of the updates.
Its up to you if you want to reset. The sprint tech will probably yell you that is your only choice. After one of our prl updates I lost data connection and the rep on the phone was ready to send me a refurbished one even before I reset Tue phone.
I ended up fixing it myself by updating prl and profile while on wifi.
Didn't you have another problem with your phone before? I could be wrong but I thought you mentioned it in a thread over at AF.
Hope this helps,
Naters
Oh I personally wouldn't worry about the wallet issue. If the phone ends up with hardware problems you'd end up with it replaced anyways.

Rose, I experienced the exact same problem as you about a week ago. My phone randomly just went into a crazy cycle of rebooting, never making it past the screen with HTC and the Beats logo. I eventually had to just hard reset it... and since then it's been working fine. I had also activated Google Wallet prior to hard resetting and had the same concerns as you, but after hard resetting, my Google Wallet still works perfectly fine. I don't think you need to worry about that. I know that doing a hard reset sucks because it takes a while to restore everything back to how you had it, but having a working phone is much better than having one that constantly reboots. I hope this helped!
Thanks but what I should I do now? I did a Hard Reset this am. I read an article that stuff was fixed with the wallet thing so I hard reset. And I did update Profile and PRL and went to see if there were any other updates. I got back Amazon app store and put on about 5 or 10 of my free apps back on. Went to play store and it showed all apps and I installed several. Mostly games like words with friends Song Pop Scramble with Friends Haning and Dice With Buddies. I use Handcent and Yahoo messenger which kept not responding after an update over and over before my phone went into reboot mode. I have normal apps like trapster beat the traffic some other games Dolphin Browser TV Show Favs Big Battery thing and car home ultra. I have Foursquare auto redial tiny call confirm.
Got to work went to turn on wifi and it went back to being disconnected and then I couldn't touch the screen and it froze and I just put the phone back in my pocket and ten minutes later I pulled it out and there was a black screen and when I turned it on the boot thing happened over and over again. Here i got back most of my apps configured couple emails. So now it's doing it again Sprint said go to store let them do a diagnostics. She said you can hard reset it back again and if they find no problem put your apps back on and try to recreate it. I don't have time to stand in a Sprint store installing apps. HTC said do a Hard Reset don't ad any apps for a day or two and see if it happens again if not then an app is causing it to hang. But how do I find out which one? And they wanted me to go into safe mode but I couldn't since it won't go to the home screen. So now I am back at a Hard Reset just got home from work and am scared to add anything but I want too. I need Handcent and want a couple others. HTC asked if I had downloaded any task killers or apps like that and I said no. I had Android Assistant before but hadn't put it back on.. HTC said if it comes back in the next couple days and I haven't added any apps call them back. Do you think an app is causing it to hang or that it's hardware. Should I still let Sprint do a diagnostics on it tomorrow or just leave it alone for now for a couple days like HTC said?
I had major problems with my Touch Pro 2 and sense and had to reset it several times. This phone the only problem I had was text not sending right away but it got fixed network problems and then after this past update my handcent would open to a black screen and it would take a minute before it would open and my sense sometimes would restart on occasion but it stopped after I took speak to it assistant widget away. But this last update made it a little sluggish.

Thanks I just replied to someone else then saw your reply you can read what I wrote about hard resetting adding most of my apps and then it started doing it again. So now I hard reset again and haven't added anything. I did the updates it said I had and for now that is all I am doing. It sucks but your right I would rather have a working phone. So is Titanium the good backup app and can you use it now without being rooted?

Sorry I know that was a long post. I took my phone to Sprint today after doing a 2nd reset last night. They did run a diagnostics and it didn't pass. They then said they had to reset it themselves once more and run one more diagnostics and it failed again. So they are ordering me another phone and it should be in the store tomorrow or the next day. But the warehouse is here in my city where I live and it was ordered around 3 so I hope it's tomorrow. It's going to be a refurb though so I hope it ends up being good. I still kind of thought it was an app causing it to hang since it did the same thing after my reset and I added several apps back. But anyway that's what happened to me. So now I need to order another screen protector.

Just got a text from Sprint my phone is in. Yay! I just want to download my apps configure my emails and have my home screens back to the way they were. If Sprint told me it failed the Diagnostics test twice that means it's hardware right? Cause since it did it twice again after reinstalling several apps I was starting to think an app was causing it to hang. But I am guessing I can install most of the apps I had before. I'm just kind of scared LOL!

Yes. If it failed after a factory reset, it was hardware related.
I see you added to punctuation to your previous post. :thumbup: nice, makes more sense. Good luck with next one (Evo)

Just got back from Sprint. He said they sent me a brand new phone. He claims they must not of had any refurbs cause the phone is pretty new I don't know how to tell. It had a cover over the screen and looked new to me. But anyway yes I hard reset and it failed and then he hard reset it again and got some error message or something he said. So he doesn't think it was app related and i hope not. Cause now it's time to reconfigure my phone.

What's up Xda? I have a question the top of my EVOLTE's screen is messing up. Just randomly right now. What I mean by messing up is that my notification bar becomes non responsive. At times it'll even slightly drop down maybe a quarter of the way down the screen without me touching it at all. Keep in mind it's just randomly right now not while I'm running certain apps or anything just random.
I am running cm10 stable and I did the pointer location grid and it showed me that no response was being read in that area.
Now keep in mind evolte is in prestine condition. No water damage or drops at all this just started out of nowhere. Anyone else having issues? If so did you do anything to solve it?
I'm gonna take it to sprint tomorrow, but gotta restore it back to factory first. I was just hoping there was another way. My sprint store reps and techs don't seem to know anything. They just give u a new one.
I also ran into this problem with my old evo 4g, but there was rain involved with that.

I don't recommended taking it to the sprint store running cm10 I would flash a stock ROM first. Idk about yours, but back in the day I took my og evo tho the sprint store and they just handed it back to me because my boot animation was different.
As far as my screen issue goes I think it had something to do with an app I had. I had the GBA emulator and whenever it was running it kept the icon on the notification bar. Once I uninstalled it I haven't had the problem since. Still its only been about 19hrs, but still nothing. Hopefully it doesn't happen anymore because sprint in my area sucks.

Definitely sounds like a bad digitizer
This just started happening to me a couple of days ago! I'm running MeanROM, i have the screen randomly hitting buttons or not responding but if I turn the screen off/on it responds properly for a few minutes or so before screwing up again. I'm going to try doing a fresh install now.
Edit:
So, I did a fresh install of Stock with Goodies and installed updated Liberty kernel and haven't had any issues for the past 24 hours.
The same thing happened with my OG evo. Dealt with it for over a year until o got this phone. I hope it doesn't do the same thing.
