[SOLVED] G sensor not working. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi.
i have tried everything with my s2, to get back working the g sensor, but i cant.
i mean, the screen is not rotating (sometimes rotates, but i have to move it in "strange" ways (so all the phone settings are ok))
i tried the gyro calibration, nothing.
i tried the accelero calibration with some apps like gps status, nothing.
hard reset, nothing.
deep clean, nothing.
changed version of android (rooted and not rooted), nothing.
im losing all my hopes...but then i saw there is a rooted utility for the i9000, that is "sensorcalibutil_yamaha". is there anything similar for the s2? beacuse im pretty sure the g sensor is ok. in some games, if i calibrate (inside the game) i can play normally, but in the beginning i have to turn the phone 90 degrees, to get the car or the ball moving in the right direction.
i really hope you can help me =D

Make a test of sensor with *#0*#
Open the tab called sensor and try to verify the functionality of g sensor.
There is a self test to verify it and a tab graph.
With the second you can see some line that display the inclination of phone.

ho gia provato quel test, ma l'immagine del cane non riesco a girarla... o meglio devo mettere tipo il telfeono in posizioni strane per riuscirlo a girare, ma niente.
il test del gyro lo passa, e nel grafico, quando muovo il telefono i valori aumentano, quindi dovrebbe essere tutto apposto.
penso che il problema sia nell accelerometro, in molti programmi di test, risulta sempre starato. ma ad esempio nei giochi, con la calibrazione interna al gioco, poi riesco a giocare tranquillamente....
ENG:
i said him, that ive tried the test inside the *#0*# menu, and the phone passed it, but i can hardly rotate the picture of the dog.
ive tried the sensor in games, and i can play with no problems

quindi sopra l'immagina non vedi i numeri cambiare a seconda di come lo muovi?
Se sei in garanzia tenta l'assistenza che magari si è danneggiato!

nono i numeri cambiano, anche giustamente.
nel test del giroscopio, a seconda di quale asse lo ruoto, mi cambia una variabile diversa come deve essere.
pero ho visto usando alcune app, che ti testano l'accelerometro (o cmq anche il test nel menu) che:
x=0
y= -20
z= 70
da quello che ho letto il valore di z è giusto che non sia 0 (anche se a molti da valori tipo -214)
mentre il valore di y dovrebbe essere 0, invece sta a -20
purtroppo non posso usufruire della garanzia...

English people, you can do it in italian as long as you post in english first.
This way everyone can benefit from this.

he asked if the numbers in the sensor test are changing and if im still in warranty.
i replied that my numbers in gyroscope test are changing. i think the problem is in the accelerometer, beacuse some numbers seems not right (even if the accelerometer is working good, since i tested it in some games)
so im asking is there is any way (not using any app, beacuse that didn't work for me) to calibrate the accelerometer.
my phone is rooted, so i can try anything
(im not in warranty)

solved by installing cyanogenmod 10.1
just because it have a setting to calibrate the accelerometer, and it worked .-.
