[Q] G-sensor question - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have ZTE V967S and annoying problem with the g sensor. I installed live wallpaper that simulates parallax effect but it is not working properly. Even when the phone is placed on the table it is moving like I am shaking the phone. I installed some sensor test app and it is showing constant change in the xyz values under accelerometer tab. I am with custom rom but with the stock was the same. My question is is there a way to calibrate it or lower its sensitivity. I am sorry, english is not my native language and I am writhing from my phone. so

[Q] System-wide orientation sensor calibration?

When I put my Galaxy Tab 10.1 wifi on a flat surface in portrait orientation, Androsensor tells me the tablet's Y orientation is 4.1 degrees. For general day-to-day use this isn't a big deal, but it makes a noticeable difference for games, e.g. Doodle Jump.
Is there a way to calibrate the orientation sensor system-wide? Based on some things I've found through searching, /data/misc/akmd_set.txt seems to have something to do with the orientation sensor, but I can't find anything on how to edit that file to calibrate it, or if it's even possible.
I'm using P7510 CM9 nightlies if it makes a difference, but the stock rom had this problem as well.

[Q] Atrix Proximity / Light Sensor

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.

Compass and light sensor issues on Xperia Mini Pro

Hi all,
I have an Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i) currently running CM9.1 FXP 148. I'm having two slightly annoying issues that I haven't managed to fix yet, so I'm hoping to get some help from the smart folks here:
The digital compass doesn't seem to function properly, that is the little arrow is spinning like crazy in Google Maps and it definitely does not behave as a compass should in other compass apps (like Smart Tools, for example). It's jerky and, if I rotate the phone too much, the indicated North (either the true or the magnetic one) change instead of always being in the same direction.
The light sensor is driving me crazy. Under flourescent lighting, the backlight is blinking/flashing like crazy. My question is, can we take over the light sensor, i.e. use another application for changing the display backlight, with different algorithms?
Thank you all for your time and for your help.
2. try Lux app. In mini pro it can only use front/rear camera though, not light sensor.

[Q] zte valet magnet and rotation sensor questions

I don't know if this is exactly where I should post this but.. I have a zte valet (inexpensive android phone that tracfone is selling) It seems pretty decent for the price. Running 4.1.1
It seems to have a ak8962 magnetic field and rotation Orientation sensor. Using a few software programs like 'my android sensors' show these two sensors but they don't return any data.
3 questions.
-How the heck is my screen rotating if the orientation sensor doesn't return data...
-Are the sensors on chip? or is there a separate sensing module that just isn't installed?
-Could this be a android thing - not the right driver or something? ie.. Is it fixable?
I have done a few searches but am coming up with nothing.
Thanks!

Mini Pro rotation problem

Hello guys, I have mini pro. Unfortunately sensor that located on the front is not working anymore. so my phone alwyas stayin as the ''rotate screen automatically'' enabled. İs there any solution to get home screen in portrait mode not landscape. thanks
Any help friends. Can I delete any file from system connected with rotation and end the problem!!!
hey there, do you happen to know exactly what sensor controls this? i'm still trying to figure this out. I'm sorry but I can't help you on this one
On mini pro there is no sensor control. Mybe I am wrong it not about sensor. Home screen and all apps are always shown in landscape mode , even screen rotation disabled in settings.
I have tried nearly all ics kernels, all the same. When installed kitkat rom 4.4.2 all is well screen rotation is backed to normal. I dont know whats wrong with ics!!
