[Q] Gaming problem - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been facing this problem in the Racing games like need for speed and others... When I start the game the car immediately goes left as if the left is pressed No matter what I do it sticks to it. I tried upgrading and flashing my phone but the problem stayed...
My phone is galaxy s ii i9100g ... anyone can help ... is it a hardware problem or what ???

Are they sensor based games?If yes then calibrate your sensors.Those games may have option to calibrate.

Ive had that problem on my xoom, but on my xoom if i hold the device portrate with the game landscape still i can drive. Thats why it goes to the left for me because im holding it in landscape

When I went to gyroscope calibration it told me to "place the device on a level surface and tap Calibrate" I did click it and there was a count down and after that I tried two games and still nothing changed

Here is the solution but it is time consuming:
1: Backup all of your apps with titanium backup(if rooted) because you are going to lose them.
2: Download ICS 4.0.3 stock rom(not 4.0.4 because of emmc bug)
3: Flash ics 4.0.3 with odin.
4: Let it boot.Now go to settings/display/horizontal calibration and calibrate it.Now your problem is solved.
5: Now if you want,update to jb by ota or download jb stock rom and flash via odin.
6: Restore your apps.
7: Enjoy
Auto rotation was bothering me alot so i tried above method and it worked.

Have you tried to clear the data from the camera app?
Go to Settings> Applications> Manage Applications> All> Camera and clear the app data and see if that helps.

Do you have CWM? If yes, then go to recovery mode, wipe cache. Then go to Advanced, wipe Dalvik Cache, ans then Fix Permissions.
Did it nothing happened.. its saying unfortunately camera has stopped and sometimes its saying warning camera failed

Hi, If you did A clean install wich means U did all the wipe of every thing from CWM, and as you said you even installed stock rom, then always facing problem.
I'm afraid your have a hardware failure my freind. somebody must have fallen it down by accident. Unless you bought it like that.
Here's one other thing to do :
Serach for a freind who has the same phone well worked, do a backup from recovery CWM, copy the backup file frome his phone to yours, then do a restore from cwm recovery mode. If it works, then it's Ok, if not, It might be a hardware failure.
I really hope your phone is fine
Good luck.

just download the original apk and install i had the same problem
By chance are you using Siyah kernel 3.1rc6 That kernel has a problem that causes the camera to fail if you are do nothing except upgrade the kernel under no circumstances wipe ANY data since if you are on that kernel you can destroy the internal memory with a wipe that can't be fixed and needs a motherboard replacement.
If when you open the camera a popup says that the camera has failed I would check immediatly if you are on said kernel.
Edit: sorry I didn't notice someone bumped such a old post that couldn't have this problem since it is before its time.
i'm having this same issue. i found that it must be a bad flex cable or connector inside the phone. if i tap hard right under the camera i can get it to fail or not fail without resetting anything in the camera app. thought it was software at first too.
have not opened the phone yet but i figure its either cold solders on the connector or loose connecotor or both. if you throw a piece of tape there inside the phone to press on it then it should fix it.

I had this same problem on my droid X. What I did is, I used TB to freeze the "updater". This stopped the alerts and prevented me from updating to Gingerbread, which I did not want ( I wanted to stay on Froyo).

I think it is FWUpgrade 1.2.0 on the S3 that you could freeze.
BTW what was so great about froyo, gingerbread was much better imo.

Try calibrating your sensors, they may have been corrupted during upgrade so phone doesn't know it's being rotated. All the best.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
if you're still on stock rom and stock kernel so your currunt kernel can still do these two :
1)wipe cache(try this one only first time, if it presists ,then do both next time)
2)wipe data/factory reset ( take a back up of your contacts and messeges )
to get into kernel recovery mode = ( hold this combination while ur phone is turned off :volume up + home + power ,hold these till u see the S2 splash screen, as soon as u see it , release the button combination immediately )
in recovery mode u can move up and down using volume keys and select either with home or power button

Please help me fix some problems with my android tablet

Hello. I recently got tablet called Acme TB02 with ics 4.0.3 and I have some problems with it:
1: random reboots
2:long battery charge time(about 12 h) and very fast drain(30% in h)
3:touchscreen problem- I touch one place and some times it reacts in different place of screen.
Can someone help me fix those problems?
It also would be great if someone could create a custom rom for it. But there is no developer that has this device
