[Q] [Help] Sony Xperia V orientation sensor acting crazy - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, so as the title states, my Xperia V's orientation sensor is acting very strangely. First it works and I can rotate the screen all normally, but all of a sudden it stops working. I downloaded a sensor app and took some photos:
this is the sensor reading when the phone is working correctly, rotating the screen as I rotate the phone:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here's the sensor reading when phone isn't working correctly:
I'm running stock rom, not rooted or anything, just installed JB couple of days ago (I'm not sure if this problem started then, or if I had it previously. Anyways, today was the culprit and at the work it didn't work for 4 hours. Rebooting sometimes helps.
I would have calibrated the sensor, but I can't find the option for that. Google states that it can't be done on Xperia phones?
Any guesses?
EDIT: If the boot helps, then to me it would seem that it's a software issue? It stopped working for me like 15 minutes ago, and now one minute ago it's working just fine when I tried. The phone was doing nothing for the 15 minutes.

Press vol dwn+ menu + power and release when u c logo and u will be in factory mode run a full test ur problm will be solves

Thank you for the reply. I'd love to try it, but what is "menu" button? V only has 3 buttons, vol up, vol down and power.

Menu button is home key

[Q] My failed rooting attempt, need your help

First thing, I am very very sorry if I posted this in the wrong topic, but I am in an extreme rush.
My phone is Sony Xperia Tipo (Si21), android 4.0.4 ICS.

I don't have a wireless router so I wanted to connect my phone to my PC through USB cable and share my internet to download some things. I found this tutorial which I decided to follow. In it, it said I needed to root my phone. I decided to do it and followed multiple tutorials but later on I found out they weren't working for ICS. I did download Java JDK and Android SDK along with files I needed and the google USB driver.
I found this tutorial from here though and thought it would work since this is quite an awesome community. I downloaded the files and ran the .bat file. Everything was going well and then and my phone restarted (as it should), but once it started again it was very slow (which could be caused by some backup that bat file created and my low phone memory with no SD card in it). That's all fine, but after like 1minute my screen goes black. I push the power button (used to lock/unlock phone) and only those 3 buttons glow on the push and turn off when I push again. All I can do is to pull out the battery and start the phone again. I restarted it a few times and once it acted normal, but when I accessed my galery it was messed up and when I tried xperia galery it was even worse (didn't show 3d well and there was lots of flickering and similar...). After that I restarted it to see if that would fix the messed up gallery and once phone booted screen went black again.
I tried the unroot option in the bat file and it gave me this:
This is my first android phone and I got it like couple of weeks ago so please have mercy on me ...
Sorry, I fixed it after couple of hours of work...had to restart my whole phone in the end.

[Q] Rocker Volume giving problem

To whom can help me...
Here my issue.
Previously im using Toldo ICS JBv7 Rom..and working fine.but last week..a found that my volume rocker giving problem.. what i mean is, it not responding when press..it will respone either volume Up only or sometime volume Down...at one time both not responding..Now the Power button also effected too..when going to sleep mode, try to wake up..nothing happen..need to press it like few time..or hold it down for a few second.
Im thinking the ROM or an apps that cause it...so i try to flash it to different ROM..now on CM10.1 Ganbarou V3.0.03 GT-P7500...
Imagine how am i going to CWR mode when the button not working..? ,,Luckily the ROM have the option to restart to Recovery Mode.
Still, the only working button is the POWER button and either the Vol UP or Down while in CWR.(lucky me, at least can scroll and enter )
When finish flashing..im happy that the 3 button responding perfectly...BUT after sometime when going to sleep mode..try to wake it..same problem occur...So im thinking it not the ROM or apps that cause it..maybe the hardware.
What made me confused is when sometime im watching Youtube(thru apps) or watching movie streaming from browser..Sometime the button responding without problem. I can control the volume...
SO i need to know if someone have the same issue as me..and if there a fix for this..
Maybe i try to upload a video, to be more clear. Sorry for my bad grammar .
Note : On screen control NO issue - just when to use the rocker.
Thank you..
Device : SGT 10.1 v1
Rom : CM10.1 Ganbarou V3.0.03 GT-P7500
Here this vid..seem like it getting worse!!:crying::crying:
Problem found & solved!!!
Finally i took an initiative to open the cover to peep what inside..and this is what i found..
The ribbon cable for the the button was torn..weird...?.the device never been tempered before..how can it torn by itself...
But now all fix..the part(ribbon) cost me $20..just plug and stick...now everything work normally:victory:...pheewww!!!!!

[Q] Is your Instagram Lux button gone?

I am using a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 and have updated to Instagram v4.0.2
Up until the update I still had the Lux button (the button which looks likes the sun and makes your photos look nice?)
After 4.0.0 it's gone, and then 4.0.1 came and it's still not there and then today I updated to 4.0.2 and it's still not there.
Did they completely remove the Lux button or is it just for my device?
I tried clearing cache/data/force stop/uninstall/reinstall two times already still doesn't work.
I emailed them but then I got an auto-mail in my spam folder btw saying they only respond to posts in help.instagram.com but then I followed that link and I have no idea how to post the issue there because it only has links to known issues.
Help.
Thank you.

Same problem here with i9505!!!
HEEEELPPPP!!!!
Same problem here. I also have SGS4 and no "Lux" button in Instagram.

Yeah, the same
T.T
tried my frens unit... (before version can't to do so )
and after updated... can done on the photo shooting , video quite buggy and messy... :x
Send My LT-21 and GT-S5360 to xda

Has anyone figured out a solution to the disappearing LUX button in Instrgram yet? I am also using the S4

Recent Apps Close Button Disappeared !!

My Oneplus x was working fine . Recently i have noticed that my Recent Apps Close Button Just Disappeared and now i have to close individual app one by one by swiping. i think there is some bug with the software.
Is anyone noticed this bug also??
and also Please tell me that How to get back the recent app close button again .
Here is the Screenshot.

Mine disappeared as well
Mine too..go in safe mode..by switching off ur phone then power it on and keep volume up and down button pressed till it boots up in safe mode..there u vl find close recent apps working properly..then restart it vl come back fr few days..den repeat again..simple...
happens when Google search Updates to 6.0
Why do you want to close all Apps?
I dont know about the update. But as soon as you remove or deactivate Google search the button is gone.
Booting into Safe mode then boot normally the issue was sorted for me...
To get into safe mode follow the instructions
1.Power Down the OnePlus X
2. Hold the Power Button Until Android Starts to Boot Up
3. As Soon as Android Starts Booting Up, Let Go of the Power Button
4. Then Immediately Start Holding Both the Volume Up and Volume Down Buttons
5. Continue Holding Both Volume Buttons Until Android is Fully Booted
follow the instructions from this forum
For me a simple restart did the job and it never disappeared again atleast till now
For me both restart or save mode didn't solve the problem. But I think in my case there is no fix because I uninstalled Google search. With that the button is gone. Its a little bit strange because in my other phone I did the same but the button is still there (other phone is in CM12.1).

Samsung Galaxy Alpha g850a stuck in bootloop

Hey everyone, i have a problem with my phone which is Samsung Galaxy Alpha G850. It is stuck in bootloop when on battery. In the begining it worked on charger all the time but as the time went by the problem was worse and it was stuck on bootloop on charger also. I tried new battery but it didnt work, also i tried flashing new ROM and nothing has changed. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
p.s. I dont have warranty papers buying a new phone is better for me than sending it to Samsung

Alpha stucked in bootloop
Hi all Alpha people,
Got also in stucked bootloop SM-G850F.
I took out battery, press power button a few seconds,
Reinsert accu and quickly press vol. down+home and power.
After a few attempts the device turned to download mode
and was ready to install stock rom, found by sammobile.
Perhaps trying recovery if you have one. Greets Nick
