[Q] Dell streak G-sensor calibration failure - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! My problems are messed up g-sensor parameters, which can't be calibrated by using a fastboot menu method(as you can see on the pictures). I've read the post from HD2 forum, but I can't find AK8973Prms.txt to edit offset values(I've only found ecompass_ak8973s which I can't edit(opened as a text file appears blank)). My Rom is DSC v2.3.
How can I possibly manually calibrate offset values to calibrate my g-sensor?

I'm unsure how a post from the HD2 forums is supposed to help as no one here has attempted to do what you're attempting.
How is the sensor messed up?

1. Why HD2 forum posts:
I've searched all XDA forums about my problem, and the only one I found possibly helpful was posted on HD2 forum.
I assume in HD2 there is also AK8973 sensor, and I thought there could be similar method to manualy change the offset values.
Sorry If I got something wrong.
2. How is the sensor messed up:
g-sensor shows wrong acceleration values(which in this case doesn't care me a lot), but orientation values are messing the orientation of the screen- this is what my main problem is. I found some solution to this by means of resetting(or recalibrating) sensor through fastboot menu under *#301#. But I could not work out G-sensor out of range error.
This is why I am searching for another solution of this problem.

You didn't get anything wrong, except assuming the HD2 has the same sensor. It may in fact have that sensor, but it's in your best interests to delve a bit deeper and be positive both devices use the same hardware. Even then, as you're finding out, what works for one device may not work for another.
I'm not aware of anyone here who has ever had this issue, and thus I'm unaware of anyone who could fix it. You could try calling Dell, but after 2-1/2 years it's unlikely anyone is going to be of much help.

I understand that this issue has not been reported anywhere on this board, so I do not expect 'easy' answers. I do however ask for help from anyone on this forum. So far I know there are many brilliant developers, who make miracles to the Dell Streak 5 software. I believe that there must be somebody who knows where g sensor 'configuration' file is and how to edit it.
You see, I've tweaked my streak to the limits, and this is the only(very annoing) issue that i have with this phone. Maybe that's why it's so annoying.

Hidden Wifi/GPS - Possibility to unlock?

I'm starting this thread to research the hidden possibilities in the HTC Touch Dual (nike). Alot of questions have been asked about wifi capabilities in the dual and how they may be there just locked by the manufacturer. I hope this thread will help us answer wether further capability is unlockable via roms, cabs, drivers, or registry changes.
In an article about the upcoming WM6.1 I found these interesting finds.

"Qualcomm see the decreasing cost of the smartphone spurring growth in adoption of these devices. Steve talked about the Qualcomm/Microsoft collaboration effort and the MSM 7xxx series of chipsets we see in today’s latest and greatest devices. These chipsets include GPS, media, applications processors and more in a single, low battery consumption configuration. There are several variants of their chips in mobile devices today with some having everything inside and some having limitations desired by the manufacturer or carrier for various reasons (cost, size of the device, targeted market, etc)."
The HTC Touch Cruise (polaris) has GPS & Wifi with the Qualcomm® MSM 7200, 400MHz processor - The same processor the HTC Touch Dual (nike) has. There would be no reason to use additional hardware in the Polaris if the processor provides this capability.
already posted at other thread that when someone installs the various cabs that people are trying, when we go to wlan settings mac adress doesn't appear.
Usualy appears even when wifi is off.
Regarding gps i tried using google maps to see if detects something but the only com port that kinda works is com 7 but it turns bluetooth on, so it must be a bluetooth port...
Here you have a link for the japanese version that will be available in january.
NO GPS, but has WIFI and FM RADIO.
wouldn't mind having fm radio on my nike!!!!

There's neither WiFi nor FM radio in the japanese version. PDAdb.net is just wrong (as many times before).

hmmm thank's for the reply...
our bad....
<sigh> pearl white....
And what are they talking about FM? Someone speaking Japanese?
if you tranlate the page you can see the word FM appearing...
http://translate.google.com/transla...ss_model/ht1100/&langpair=ja|en&hl=en&ie=UTF8
IT HAS FM RADIO
Chainfire:
Just wondering if you could post a RegDump (possibly directory/file listing) of your Kaiser?
I think we are still missing some registry entires.
One such entrie:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN]
"DeviceName"="{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\TNETW12511"
If I know how to extract files from Rom's I'd probably stand a better chance at all this.
Wifi -> theres already a lot of discussion on another thread
this thread has been dealing with wifi hidden capacities (or not)

It does indeed seem to have an FM radio. It doesn't change much, though (hardware-wise at least, as you would have to use the headset as an antenna).
My point is, don't trust blindly on PDAdb.net. You can find many errors if look around in there (though most of it seems to be right).

Heh you are right, I did miss that one. Can't make a complete listing right now but I can send you a comparison between the two devices I made yesterday.. In these files 'M' stands for missing and 'D' stands for different... If you send me back two files with only the lines of the files and registry entries you want I can make it into a patch by pressing a button...
I'll try sending you a full listing and dump (instead of the compare files from yesterday) later today.

Hi, thanks for that, it would seem that there are quite a few registry keys missing, I've only searched for GPS keys so far, the main ones needed for interfacing with the GPS driver seem to be missing.
But even after going though and making my own registry file, GPS still does not work, nothing appears on com 4.

Have you tried COM7 ?

yep think its comm 7 on the dual
I think registry keys and DLLs won't help in this case. The MSM7200 GPS function should be enabled by a low level hardware driver that is probably loaded after reset before the OS comes on. Then the OS either sees the GPS port or not. An expert's help is thus needed in this case.
As for WIFI, someone mentioned the lack of MAC address for the WIFI. Again - this is a HW issue as the MAC address is coded in ROM (unerasable part of the FLASH) just like IMEI. And if it is not there to begin with... hmmm...
But we can certainly look for one if we have access to the ROM code - it is a 6-digit number that should begin with 00h 18h 41h. If we correlate a few devices that have this string in the same location than maybe there is something to it (WiFi included).
I was trying GPS test, it scanned all com ports, it did halt on Com7, but now it just skips it.
I think a hard reset and start again is in order.

That web page also indicates that GSM850 is supported. For a USA user, that would be the most important thing of all. There has been some speculation that the phone can support GSM850 now. Perhpas the Japanese ROM will turn it on.
I have an htc s640 (iris 100) has the exact same specs as the HTC Touch and my wifi is enabled. i know it has GPS but its disabled. if you need anything from my registry id be happy to help. only difference between these phones that i can tell is the touch screen. rest of the specs seem to be the same.

That phone has a Qualcomm MSM7500 chip, the Dual has a Qualcomm MSM7200 chip.

[Q] Screen problem

Since a week ago I'm having a strange problem. Bottom part of my screen doesn't respond well to touch input. I think its kind of out of calibration or is it broken? Does anyone else have this problem?
I've installed several ROMs but all of them have the same problem. Is my Hero dying?
This is a well documented problem. Try searching the forum for the related posts.
Thanks. Unfortunately I couldnt find exact answer to my question.
Would you please be kind enough to give me a link to the solution?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=595485
OK. Thanks man. I guess I have problem. Here there is no official HTC center so I guess I have to deal with it. For thos in my condition, The original HTC keyboard works the best for me and with it I have little to no problem unlike default Android keyboard.
I had the same problem before.
But without a service center, you are out of luck.
Maybe try those DIY guides they have on fixing this problem.

Compass doubt

Hello everyone, I would buy this wonderful phone but I have a doubt on the compass, really miss? is a problem of lack of the sensor or is it just a software issue? His absence does it involve?
Sorry for my bad English
I didn't quite get what you said, but there is no compass on this phone
Just as Stereo8 mentioned above, the is no compass on this phone. And unfortunately, there is nothing you can do, cause it's a limitation of the chipset and it has nothing to do with software.
You might find it a little strange at the beginning (if you buy it), especially with the GPS navigation, but you'll probably get used to it.

Kindle Fire 6" Replaced screen touchscreen not working now...help

Model # PW98VM. I ordered a replacement touchscreen and replaced it myself. Now the touchscreen does not work. Everything else seems to be fine, it just doesnt recognize when I swipe the screen. Is it possible that something isnt connected properly? Has anyone else experienced this and was able to fix it?
Thanks
I think you'd have better luck asking such questions elsewhere. This forum is mainly for software related issues. Try this link: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Kindle+Fire+HD+6+Screen+Replacement/36121

Question Proximity sensor

Hello one big problem I have is while I speak proximity sensor does not work as it has and while i speak maybe notifications open or anything else...
can you please tell me if there is any solution?
thank you
Hi, this is know issue from Xperia 1 II. And sony support know that but there is now fix for this. Sony explained that this fault is because of its shape and size. Correct if i am wrong.
Following, as this is one of the most annoying things on this device.
I think in one of the forums was guy that contacted sony support and they have stated that this is design problem and they cant fix this. You need to get used to it and dont move your phone in the ear when talking.
sensor is on the right side of the speaker, some 5-6mm so try to catch your phone a bit more on the right side and once you get used to that it won't be happening so frequently
