Accelerometer shuts off randomly - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ever since I flashed Rootbox for the first time, I've been experiencing this problem on Aosp/Aokp roms.
This usually happens when I'm using the phone in vertical position for a while. Then all of a sudden, after, for example trying to watch a video on YT, I realize I can't rotate the screen.
So far I've used CM9(which I'm using right now), Rootbox (both Ics and JB) and RR(JB). I've used the RR with dorimanx kernel and the problem persisted. The only way to fix this is to restart the phone. If I'm lucky, it'll start working again after some time without restarting. If I use a Stock or Miui based rom, everything works fine.
Does anyone have any idea what f. is going on? This is becoming very annoying.

I too had the same issues a few weeks back, while using jellyBAM. I didn't bother though, coz I didn't use landscape much.
I did find out that after turning on and off autorotate a few times, it becomes normal again. And oh yeah, sometimes I have to reboot!
I hope someone else can come up with an explanation!

[Q] Problem with compass with V20C Gingerbread 2.3.3

I upgraded to official LG V20C Gingerbrad 2.3.3 and now the compass doesn't work at all. The compass ever shows about 180 degrees. If I rotate the phone the compass rotates with it showing always 180 degrees. In other words it doesn't track North at all. It just stays pointing in the same direction and turns with the phone, like it was stuck. I've tried every compass app I can find and have calibrated it over and over and still the same issue.
A my friend has the same problem.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Someone has the same problem?
Thanks.
The calibration apps are completely useless. Take your phone in your hand and move it like this in front of you about 3 times:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If it does not work - sorry, nothing that could be fixed.
just to clarify the previous post...
do NOT just move the phone in a figure 8 patern with it still pointing in the same direction...you need to move the phone so that sometimes the top of the phone is pointing away from you and sometimes toward you....does that make sense?
Ice
With V10A_00 (Android 2.2) or V10E_00 (Android 2.2.2) any movement I should make calibrated compass, with V20C_00 no movement calibrate it. Therefore augmented reality apps (Street view, Google Sky Map, some games, etc...) no works fine. I reinstalled 2.2.2 and everythings works.
No one has the same problem?
I have exactly the same problem as described here.
Compass will work after a rebbot (not always) but then when it gets the abnormal magnetic interference message it stops using the magnetic sensor and reacts to tilts!!
Only a reboot can't ix it after. It appears this is a common bug in gingerbread roms well known.
The weirdest thing is that doesn't happen on another lg p500 with same rom and kernel.
Ideas Anyone?
Well I have my compass running for a complete day now without failures.
I guess the wipe rotate settings on amun rah recovery has done the trick, although I am not completely sure about it. The truth is that it never had so much time running correctly since I updated to ginger.
New Info :
The bug returned and I finally found a way to get rid of it.
When your compass does not work just close compass apps, make a call (to voicemail for example) and... IT WORKS AGAIN!
Weird...

Touch screen glitches CM9

So been using turl1 v8 Lang for pics and been getting a weird glitch where the touch screen will have false inputs at the top of the screen I've looked At it with the pointer location on add appears to only affect the top 1/4.
I wasn't sure if this is really related to turl1's build because I thought I read somewhere that there is a partition on your phone that causes this from a bad flash
Any ideas?

I'm on turl's v8 and also having similar problems with the touchscreen but it doesn't do it very often. Mine does it very rarely but I can tell when it does it.
yeah same here started with turl1 v8, and if I turn on pointer location about half the time there will be 5 phantom pointers at the top of my screen going crazy
bump again, having similar issues with my screen, except its mostly the bottom portion where the keyboard is so i cant type vey well without it pressing the wrong letters
Same here but on top quater of the screen. Running nottachtrix 1.3.1. Flashed and wiped a lot but cant say for sure when it started.

It went from straight 100%- 58%
Is it normal or am i overreacting ??! As the screen was barely on all the time
Also i only use Edge not 3g and And edge is only activated by me when screen is on , otherwise its off
Apps which used battery
Partial Wavelocks
The AudioOut one is 12%

Process
Rom: [ROM] [NEO/V] AOSP 4.0.3 ICS BETA1 [hotfix2] | Fast and Clean
Kernel: Provided one
Can anyone help ?
its normal drain
Something seems to keep the phone in awake state, won't let it sleep.
i use the same ROM with the provided (ICS beta) kernel, including all the hotfixes, just without the on-screen buttons. and i have no issue with battery dips/drains whatsoever
Never understood why you guys use these on screen buttons :/ like the phone didn't have buttons.. lol
Only makes the screen smaller and uglier
I Shall reflash again
And im getting rid of onscreen buttons i guess
It Kinda does get on my nerves ~_~
Still need to figure out whats causing it to be awake :/
Ill reflash tho

No point in wiping bat stat file. It's deleted/rewritten every time you disconnect charger from phone.
We use them hardware keys because we can simple

[Q] Screen flickering

anyone have their screen keep flickering especially when you click recent apps button in home screen and youtube?
the flickering is getting more worst and happens more often. btw it only happens when the recent apps is full of apps.
is it ICS bug or hardware issue?
I have it too, all of us do. It's a software bug that started with ICS. It is kinda annoying sometimes but I wouldn't worry about it to much. Hopefully Asus will have this fixed in future updates.
My understanding is that this is normal and designed to reduce battery drain. The screen will constantly try and adapt to use the least amount of power. I notice putting the tablet into "performance" will alleviate this, but will obviously drain the battery quicker.
that happen to me n i called asus n they said to send it to them but wat happen was i reset it to stock as new and wat happen was it seems it crash on men then all of a sudden it went to CWM recovery and stared bootloop which now i am stuck i put a rom in it and does nothing so now i am stuck real stuck

Happens on many tabs.
Running ICS on Gtab 10.1 wifi.
Screen flickering since moved to ICS CM9 (4.0.3 and 4.0.4) and yes seems more constant while the recent apps is full. I still think some apps make it worse and more constant, still cant understand witch ones.
Setting CPU to "performance" also helps, but like stated previously your battery will end soon with a cost of only 10% less flickering.
Cheers.

I may have found a temporary quick fix for bluetooth problems on CM based ROMs

Myself and many others have had crippling issues with bluetooth on CM-based roms and it has gone unfixed for a long time. Bluetooth suddenly just stops working. The icon disappears from the notification menu, and if you try to turn it on, it appears to turn on for a fraction of a millisecond and then shuts off. Rebooting doesn't fix it. Clearing cache from safe strap does fix it (temporarily), but it's a pain in the ass and takes a long time.
This has happened to me both in CM 10.1 and Carbon, and it happens about once a day. Once every two if I'm lucky.
Today I managed to restore bluetooth completely by simply force closing the "Bluetooth Share" app. I did tap "Clear Cache" first in the app's settings, but it didn't appear to do anything (cache remained at 12KB), so I don't know if that step is required. Bluetooth was immediately restored and the icon immediately reappeared in my notification bar. Why this worked but rebooting doesn't is beyond me. I would think since all apps get shut down on reboot, that a reboot would have the same effect... who knows.
Anyway, I just thought I would share my discovery with other frustrated Razr owners. I have only tried it once, but I will update this thread next time I attempt this and post my results.
1st Attempt: Success
2nd Attempt: ??? (will test without clearing app cache)
3rd Attempt: ???
If this does indeed work consistently, it may be possible to create a bandaid fix for this whereby an app running in the background constantly checks to see if bluetooth is turned on, and if not, executes a force close on the app, automatically bringing bluetooth back up.
