Gyroscope problems after latest update? - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i just wanted to know if anyone else out there/what i should do. I was one of the people whose edge stopped auto rotating but rather than exchange it i waited for a fix and i got one with this latest update. My phone auto rotates fine now but whenever playing a racing game or a game that uses the accelerometer it messes up.
For example, if im in a racing game (asphalt or real racing) my cars always turn to the right. Nothing makes it go left. So what should i do? (If anything) or is anyone else experiencing this?

i had the same auto rotation problem and i waited for the update as well, but it wasnt resolved when i did. (i have sprint sm-g925p) so i loaded up every rom we have and firmware and checked the hidden diagnostic menu (dial *#0*#) and every time the gyroscope was stuck on the x axis, i also checked the app checkmyandriod which shows a little better diagnostic on all the axis's the gyroscope uses and 2 of them were frozen on a number. so after all that troubleshooting bull**** i called up samsung (i would have called sprint but i bought the phone from a guy on ebay) and told them all the steps i went through and they informed me that many, many s6 edges internals were poorly put together and the fast charge fried the gyroscope when it heated up above a certain temp. the update only masks the true problem of crappy build quality the first few batches somehow had. my suggestion is to bite the bullet and send it in to replalce it, or just keep having the same problem for the life of the phone. Just my 2 cents though.

When i updated the phone it fixed the auto rotate BUT i guess the accelerometer is all tripped. Im completely stock no root. Ive done the *#0*# and it says everything running. Id prefer not to replace it, i dont play games on the phone but id like the option too lol. Maybe another fix?

I'm not sure if my findings are rare or if it could be something more, but this is what I found:
I ran into this issue after doing a factory reset. The screen would no longer rotate.
Went out to the market to look for a third party app to check the software for the Gyro. I downloaded "Screen Rotation Control"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bong.android.androidlock&hl=en
While running this app, the screen rotated no problem. So I uninstalled the app. Now my screen rotates like it did the day I got it.
Hope this might help someone else.

Fellas it seems to me that your gyroscope is fried, due to overheating issue when using fast charge. Mine works fine, but when I charge mine I make sure it is cool.

G-Sensor calibration problem. Help.

Hello everybody,
I noticed on my hero that applications using g-sensor have some problems:
Skymaps draws the horizon line sloping down from the left to the right.
Teeter game, when I put the phone on a surface (leveled of course) the balls goes to the left and slightly to the top of the screen (teeter is played in horizontal way).
I tried to calibrate the g-sensor but when I do this, the bubbles finish at the same position as at the begining of the calibration. It doesn't keep the calibration data even if I lean the phone consciusly to set the inclination as the leveled one.
Can you help me on this?
Have you noticed this behaviour on your game, skypmap and calibration tool?
Yeah, I've noticed the same thing with my Hero, I have too look slightly down to get the horizon in the middle of the screen in Streetview. I too tried to calibrate the g-sensors, but with no luck. In teeter the ball end up in the top right corner when the phone is laying on the floor..
same here
Thanks for your reply. I'm asking the problem to htc customer service.
They have answered me to try to restore the factory values, I've already tried this but no luck.
I've reported it, so I am waiting their answer.
Same here.
Hi,
from HTC Customer Service has no notification about anyone who has reported the bad behavior of the G-sensors and the imposibility of saving calibration.
So, they told me to ask to the shop for a replacement.
I hope an update appears soon.
I've noticed the very same thing. Skymap horizon sloping, 'bubbles' not centering when calibrating the G-sensor, pointing down to look straight in Street View.
They told you to send yours back? Interesting...

The Skymap thingie is very easily explained. The earth is actually tilting in angle relative to the sun so what you are seeaing is perfectly normal. We aren't any vikings anymore so we do not believe everything revolves around our earth... you gotta remember that what you are seeing is NOT the horizon... it's the universes "equator" you see...
I have the same problem. I don't a replacement would solve this because i think it's a design fault.
Same problem here, when calibrating it looks like it's going to be OK and then it kicks back to what it was before starting calib. Sounds like a SW fault....
Yes, same here. Contacting support.
So, I hard-resetted the device and re-calibrated it according to HTC Support instructions, but the problem persists. Then I got a number where to call, and I did, and the friendly lady said that she hadn't never (personally) heard about this issue on HTC Hero. I kindly asked her to run a search on their tickets (but don't know the outcome of that).
She instructed me to go back to the shop and replace it with a new unit. I will do that, but I did mention her that there are other people with this same issue and I don't think that it is my unit that is faulty.
I'll let you know if the new unit has the same issue. I'd be surprised if it didn't.

It is meant to be the horizon, which should be flat. You're thinking of the ecliptic plane which is tilted about 23 degrees relative to the earth's celestial equator; this is visible in the sky map app as 0 degrees on the gridlines that show altitude and azimuth on the celestial sphere.
The yellow line representing earth's horizon should be completely flat when the phone is held in portrait. It slopes on mine aswell.
i also notices this calibration issue, i've tried sensordebug, so sensor is ok, also tried Bubble app, calibration works perfectly there. problem must be in permissions, but i don't know which file is responsible for storing accelerometer data.
maybe, solution could be reflashing hero with its stock rom. or wait for rom update
EDIT: Do you have stock ROM or root and/or modified one ? This information could be useful

I have 100% stock ROM, no rooting or anything.
Me too, i've found almost same problem with htc and accelerometer, with WM device, solution was software fix. also it happend only on some devices, not many of them, i don't know certain number of these problems with hero, but it could be normal fault when flashing ROM after device completion, like with Dream devices there was akmd_set.txt file responsible for accelerometer and compass settings data.
5 minutes ago, i flashed hero with stock ROM, nothing changed.
I have this same problem with htc diamond..!!!
solution for diamond you can find there: http://www.htc.com/au/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=0&dl_id=372

Titan II - issues I'm having

Phone details are in my signature. I reset the phone right out of the box as I always do when new phones or after doing a software upgrade.
I've noticed that marketplace isn't notifying me of app updates available.
When I buy something, it keeps says I have to buy over and over again and never lets me download the app even though I get the email confirmation from MS.
The on-screen keyboard, at the password screen or even when I go to start a text, there is a full 1 second delay or more in the first letter/number I push, always. Is this a defect in the touch screen or software?
My old WP7 had none of these issues.
Anyone else?

Take it back and get another one. At a store they should swap it right there and then. It could be software related like every phone at launch has issues or a serious hardware problem

Have you synced your device with the desktop Zune client yet? It might be worth a go before you finally swap it.

Yes so I could sync all my pics, video, etc.
I already have the device setup exactly how I want it, I'd hate to return it when there is no backup/restore option in Zune. Dang it.
If its a software issue we can rule out Factory Reset... and that Im aware of there hasn't been an RUU leak for 8112 for the titan2 so flashing it is impossible.
Was the issue present from the get go? Like the moment It was turned on before setting up anything?

After turning on my phone out of the box, I went straight and did a hard reset. So I noticed everything after that. Marketplace not notifying of app updates and the touchscreen keyboard issue yes. I only tried buying that app after reinstalling all the other apps I had bought for my previous WP so I can't say about that issue.
I think I will just hang onto the handset until the Tango update is released and hope that resolves the issues.
UPDATE: Looks like marketplace is now notifying me of app updates correctly now and the app purchase I made has no gone through. I guess something was maybe going on with MS's side of things. I'll just deal with the keyboard/dial pad delay thing and hope Tango fixes it, it's only delayed on the first character I enter when I start typing anyway.

A temporary fix is just to turn off the "key press" sound. Once sound is off, there is no delay. Same issues with the Focus S and my Titan 2.

Thank you, that worked! I wonder why some windows phone have this issue and some don't? Perhaps the quality & latency of the nand flash? I have noticed this phone is a little slower than my Arrive was.
I had the exact same keyboard / touch screen delay issue. Turning off the keybaord sound definitely seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks.
I had a Lumia 900 and trades it for the HTC Titan II because of the camera issues with the Lumia. The HTC is better in my opinion but the tap delay issue was a real pain and I did not experience it with the Lumia.
I'll give it a shot, too as I have the delay. I also swapped out my Lumia for a Titan 2 and very much prefer it.
I have exactly same issue on my titan II.
I used focus before titan II. But focus hadn't this issue.
I think it can be fixed but now I feel inconvenience a lot.

i too had the keyboard issue, but have mostly gotten used to it, but it would be nice to have it fixed while keeping the keyboard sound.
another issue im having is more hardware related- when i press lightly, on the edges of the screen, there is a "glow" around the area i press like on a pc when you touch the screen. i can also feel the screen around the edges bending slightly, like the screen is loose. anybody else have this?
i have never had this on anything else with a touchscreen- ive had 2 iphones, a samsung gs2 skyrocket, and an asus transformer prime

That is probably because of the unibody design they've opted for. This issue is much similar to what annoyingly cheap hardware feeling I get when I press hard on "Windows" softkey. You can feel the spring and at times it makes that cracking sound too. But from what I've read around, as time passes on with these unibody designs, the back case get lose and so does the front chasis. Probably that "glow" you are referring to is due to lose screen chasis?

no one else has this? because the phone is brand new and did this out of the box
I'm actually having this problem as well new right out of the box. But also its not only the keyboard sound but sound in games as well. When I play games its really glitchy as the game will pause for a split second when there is a long enough gap in sound.
I bought the phone new in box unopend off craigslist for my girlfriend so im not sure if I can get this warrantied. Additionally I tried flashing the stock rom like people have been suggesting but with no luck the issue is still present.
Its a shame that such a nice phone could have such a frustrating problem right out of the box. My first gen wp the HTC Arrive never had this issue. Yet I really haven't seen much online or a fix expect whatever has been said on this thread.
Can my girlfriend just simply activate the phone and take it to at&t and get it replaced without proof that she bought it at the store?

I found that if you turn off key press sounds and disable the sound enhance, the phone works much much better.

Multitouch borked? (And potentially shady VZW customer service)

So I got my DNA on Sunday. So far, I'm pretty happy with it except for one issue. My multitouch seems messed up. If I'm trying to play a game that requires both thumbs, basically the two of them tapping the screen interfere with one another. For example, if I'm playing something like shadowgun, or GTA III, or max payne, or even the preinstalled diablo clone, if I'm moving a character and try to press an attack button at the same time(or in the case of GTA trying to actually steer while driving) the character movement "stick" resets to neutral. and sometimes the reverse will happen. Trying to move will cause the attack button to stop registering. The issue has been "confirmed" by me with multitouch visible test found in the play store. In the test, moving my thumbs around and making them cross axis screws up the touch registering. could anyone confirm or deny that this is happening on their device? Games are basically unplayable. I went into a VZW store today(the only one in my are with the phone in stock) and tried their demo unit and it exhibited the same problem. I was then promptly told by the sales rep that the one device they had was being held for a paid order. Nevermind the fact that I was told over the phone minutes before that the one phone was available and that they DO NOT hold devices for customers. A call to corporate may be in order... Anyway, any thoughts on the multitouch "issue" would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried turning off HTC gestures in Settings -> Display & Gestures? I think the 3 finger swipe for HTC Media Link messes with multi touch
Generally speaking any issues with multitouch are software related. The sensors should be fine its a matter of callibration based on the software. Like the previous poster said it may be due to sense's gesture features. New kernels when they are released will likely fix this but I have never experiencedit. Gonna have to try and reproduce this today.
I've also noticed plenty of issues with multi touch. I've noticed while browsing, if I'm holding the phone with two hands and any portion of my one hand is touching the screen and I'm trying to scroll it won't respond till I remove that skin that is making contact.

I'm pretty sure every phone is like that.
I believe it is the game/app software related. I don't think a lot of them are set up to recognize the larger 5.0"+ screens running resolutions over 720p. We are kinda treading new territory here. I have heard of a few games that don't display correctly on our phones so I don't doubt controls/multi-touch could need some tweaking as well.
I may be wrong but that is my opinion.

Are you becoming part of the "Now" generation that I saw you complain about in another thread?
Games will begin working once app developers start updating for 1080p screens.

No, LOL.
But I have seen these things before, where developers catch up 6 months later. A lot of the games I want to play are Gameloft or EA, and they both are terrible at updating. Horn hasn't been updated since September.
In that case, I can come back in 6 months with a newer device and will be content.
I am definitely patient, and can live with the Gnex a bit longer if I decide to go that route.
Thanks for the replies. I did try turning off HTC gestures last night with no success. I'll have to figure out a way to post a video of it. Basically, in the multitouch test app, If i hold the phone in landscape, as if I'm playing a game, then place both thumbs in the lower corners, it registers fine. However, if I slowly move my left thumb up and down then repeatedly tap the right corner(an action commonly performed in 3D action games) it trips it up and starts reversing the thumb inputs and occasionally introducing a third input even though I only have two fingers on screen. I can't believe that it's just an issue with software, or I'd assume reviews would have pointed to it. It makes games basically unplayable. And I've seen video online of people playing those types of games on the phone without the issue. A video would help. I'll try to figure something out.
Its been like that for some time the phones capability is more than the multi tasking allows I got 7 apps at once any load after that it won't show in recent. Though its slightly better with the app refresh upon switch its much better than my previous HTC the EVO LTE . Still when we got aosp based roms it was much better but with no limit or more on that device it slowed a lot but two gigs in this is great.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
So I've "solved" the issue. I actually swapped it out for another phone and then it worked fine and I was happy. Then I re installed holo locker from the play store and started having the same issue. So holo locker WILL break the multi touch capabilities of the DNA. I just e-mailed the dev and hopefully get a response. So again, for anyone using the phone, DO NOT INSTALL HOLO LOCKER. At least not until it's updated.

WatchOn app?

I'm having trouble getting the WatchOn app to work. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
Seems like it works randomly. My OTS would turn on out of no where but never from the actions I defined.
I think this may have something to do with the sensors not working properly right now.

I liked the style of the app and the config page made me feel it would turn on when I wanted it, but the screen never ever ever never turned on once using it.
I tried a Screen Shake On app from play store, but it would only work for about two minutes after the screen went dark. Now I just push the power button, but am keeping my eye out for a good app to get this function.

Am I correct in thinking it is theoretically possible that an official firmware that fixes the problem could be released without the kernel source being released? (Trying to understand where the problem has to be fixed, as a matter of interest.)

Is this related to why the calibration screen appears to be perfectly consistent and it looks like the sensors are fine, but then once the screen has gone to sleep, it will wake up again for movements and orientations that seem to bear no resemblance to how it was set?
At one point I was halfway convinced that it was consistently waking up when I had the watch rotated to about 30 degrees closer to vertical and 45 degrees counterclockwise (using the face as the clock) from the settings I'd given it, but then I concluded I must have been inexplicably inebriated when I determined that.

I don't have any app of this type loaded at the moment. Sometimes I still catch the screen on. So, don't assume every time you see it lit up it's because of the WatchOn app. This thing is just 7 kinds of silly and does what it wants.

They still have not fixed the security and root issues I told them about in November. Mainly because they lack the skills. The only reason the sensors and app work on the EU 512/4 is because I fixed it by pulling the kernel from another x201.

I gather that means yes, theoretically, but it's far less likely.
I've installed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adl.appshakerShake and it seems to work pretty consistently (although the balance I have found for being able to activate it when I want without it activating because I scratched my nose or something is at a sensitivity of 9, which roughly translates to "vigorously rotate my wrist back and forth for about a second."
I just remembered I haven't reinstalled E-Robot since my last flash and I never got around to trying to use it to create a "turn the screen on when the watch shakes a lot" action; I may try that soon.
Shake is one of the very few that do work. I haven't tested them all but may include it in the next release as well as remote camera control for those that are doing the BT companion workaround.

I've been trying to get this app to work with 0 luck. 1/8 1900, ensec + operative root on my TS. Can you post the specific settings you are using so I can copy them exactly and see if I can get it to work?

Action when shaken: Simple - Turn Screen On
Sensitivity: 8 is working well for me, I recommend trying a little higher while you're attempting to get it to work...8 is a pretty vigorous back-and-forth rotation of the wrist for me.
Service State: On
Start at Phone Startup: checked
Active when screen is off: checked
Battery saving mode: unchecked
Vibrate when shaken: checked
Notify when shaken: checked (I think Turn Screen On is one of the actions for which this doesn't do anything)
Most shake or position based wake apps do not work on the 1/8 1900. Even Shake is inconsistent and it's the best so far.

Thank you very much

V30 Problems!! Anyone else??

Had the phone for about a week now. (Verizon)
Today i tried to activate wifi calling...no good. Factory reset the phone thinking maybe it was an app..still nothing.
I have also noticed that over the past couple of days, the phone has been getting more and more laggy. Not many apps on the phone at all. No different than the apps on my V20 which never really had a lag issue. The phone seems to struggle as well when opening messaging or opening a url from an email...sometimes it will not even load the page. It just stays on the current page that chrome already had open.
Starting to feel like there are some bugs LG needs to fix..
Im swapping the phone out this weekend for another one...Main reason for the swap is the phone not activating wifi calling..that def seems like a hardware issue.
Not sure if anyone else has noticed but if you have the brightness on 100% or any brightness for that matter, if you look at the phone from any angle besides straight at it, it gives the whole screen a blue tint...Samsungs do not do that with their oled panels.
Symptom of the Poled?
Anyone else experiencing annoying bugs with the phone??
Settings/Developer Options/tick on "Force GPU Rendering" should make the beast smoother faster. if root available try L Speed/Entropy/fstrim apps found on Play Store! If LG G6 gets Android 7.1.2 , the performance should improve smoother over Android 7.0 just like the LG V30 is incredibly smooth and fast due to SD 835. Android Oreo 8.0 should have faster boot times on powering up. LG flagships gets Oreo by the end of this year (November or December)
I noticed Wifi calling didn't turn on right away. It said it was working on it and it took a little bit, maybe 10-15 minutes before it actually said it was activated. I have not noticed any tint issue when viewing the phone from an angle
Dump chrome, install Samsung browser apk. With the crystal add blocker. Eliminate animation scale to .5, install a different launcher. Text for me with Verizon message+ works really well, live the pop up window so I can reply without closing the app I'm in. Truly the phones not lagged" me at all. Love the speed, hate the screen protector issues but phones doing great and I got it Oct 5th.
Dont have those issues, but did notice a little process when first booted to get wifi calling settled in. Had to confirm a prompt of some sort and wait a bit.
I havent had any of those issues, mine have been the wifi always dropping at home and my camera seeming like its fuzzy with the pictures I take.
Thanks guys...had developer options opened and changed those settings already...going up the road today to get it switched out so wifi calling can work...hopefully that solves the issue
Wifi calling works fine on mine. Any issues so early, exchange phone

Samsung OTOH goes to green or pink tint. You don't fool us.
