Ok in the galaxy s2. If you go to settings, display, then at the bottom, you have horizontal calibration and gyro sensor calibration.
If you choose horizontal calibration you get a little test thing with the dot in the middle and it moves as you tilt the device.
When I go to gyro sensor calibration the dot just stays in the middle and does not move. Is this normal ?
Can someone try the above please
yep i tried this before, same here, but i think it's normal
If you look two different calibrations .
jje
I know, but shouldn't the dot move when you tilt the device. I thought thats what the gyro does
Do it while you are in the car (as a passenger), and see if that move when the car accelerates or slows down
Why would one calibration act the same as another .
jje
I am having the same problem the gyro calibration was working till i click on calibrate as soon as i clicked it i no longer see the ball moving :/ tried wiping and everything nothing worked.
Mine doesn't move either.
I could of sworn mine was moving last time I checked! Very strange..
I cant get mine to move either.
Maybe this might help.

the gyro problem is annoying .. every app just turn into landscape mode :/
hope someone fix it fast ;/

Before I root my Samsung, can you tell me what rom you have installed or what you did last?
Thx

Lite'ning rom , it was working untill i clicked on calibrate after clicking it it got stuck :/ well that me i don't know about the OP.
I have the same problem (indications for gyro callibration) but also a magnetic sensor problem (see this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111355 threat)
I used an app called sensor test / plot which shows problems with the magnetic sensor and orientation.
Anyone having the same problem?
Try an App called GPS status, it displays the output of all the GS2s sensors on one screen, including satellites, compass, gyro and accelerometer, at least you can reassure yourselves that the various sensors are actually working

All the numbers move for me using the sensor test/plot app.
in sensor test everything is working but the phone just stay in landscape mode .. thats the problem that i have.
You can try *#0*# on your dialler and then use the Sensor test and check if everything is all right.
tested on *#0*#it says its working fine as well .. :/
Recently my magnetic sensor did not work. Yesterday suddenly it came to life exept I don't trust it.
Just to check if my sensors are OK I would like to compare some data. I use *#0*# and the SENSOR
My readings are (when on table):
ACCELEROMETER Sensor Raw Data
x:-10/10 y:-20/-40 z:3030/3060
Gyroscope Sensor
Y:-0.01/-1.00 P:0.01/0.80 R:0.01/0.90
Gyro self test OK, Graph shows normal plot with rotation around all axes)
Magnetic Sensor
Magnetic: x:-45 y:-600 z:1086 (values change with orientation but stay around the same range, exept for the z value, it stays at 1086.48 contantly)
Azimuth: 176 (changes just +/-2 degr with rotation and +/- 20 degr with roll)
Pitch: 0,050 (changes normal with pitch)
Roll: 0,40 (changes normal with roll)
Little compass indicates South (red line towards you) and does not change with rotation (just +/- 20 degr with roll). It also says need for calibration and the number 0.
I know values will be different with everyone but should be around the same range. I have values (Accelerometer) in the 10 / 30 and 3000 range depending on de axis. Same with the Magnetic sensor 50 /600 and 1080 range.
As the magnetic z-axis value is stuck I expect a faulty sensor.
the test is all good to me but the image test it failed to move from landscape to normal. hope someone can help :/
Hello guys,
My proximity / light sensor is not behaving correctly for past few days. Now whenever i dial a call, the proximity sensor turns the LCD off and it does not turn it on until the call ends somehow. It seems to be that the sensor is unable to sense the incoming light. Also the little red LED of the sensor stays on for very long, even after the call.
Also, the screen's brightness does not change when i move from low light to high light areas (and vice versa).
I have jokersax's CM9 build 0.6.1 installed with the built in kernel. (Which is probably the CM9 kernel too).
I suspect the proximity sensor is faulty. And also that this is a hardware problem. Now the question I'd like to ask is does anyone know what parts do i need to replace in order to get it back working. What would I tell the repair part vendors to send me ?
Also, do you agree that this is a hardware problem??
OR do you think, it is the ROM may be or the way I've installed it??

If you have face unlock enabled then disable it and try it again.

My light sensor is broken... i adjust brightness to full but my screen isn't brighty whyyyy?
?
Maybe your light sensor is broken. Either way, you don't make two threads about the same issue.
Thread closed
Too many threads were created. Refer to this one.
I'm trying to figure out normal (functional) proximity sensor response to light.
(originally posted this to meanbean because I downloaded meanbean specifically because it mentions the proximity fix.
Would somebody who doesn't have a problem with their proximity sensor try the following:
1) Use whatever program you like that displays current proximity distance. I've been using Proximity Sensor Finder.
2) Confirm that near and far are reporting correctly (it's binary, but reports as 9cm versus 0cm).
3) Expose the phone to strong light (e.g. put it near a light bulb).
4) Remove from light source
--> Does the proximity sensor now report NEAR even when there's no object near the sensor?
I really appreciate your testing this and letting me know here or by DM.
Thanks so much!

Hello everyone.
Respected all
I am facing a strange problem with my LG V10, T-Mobile
When i call, the screen goes blank, and does not come back until i press the power button.
I installed AIDA64 and checked the status of the proximity sensor.
Its value is 5 as normal, it becomes 0 when i put finger on the proximity sensor.
The value of proximity sensor doesn't come back to 5 even after moving the finger away from the sensor.
Kindly help me to solve the issue.
