Gyroscope/rotation issues - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

When I got the phone ~9 months ago and rotation worked. I flashed CM13 and rotation stopped working. I figured it was the rom. It was annoying having to manually rotate photos and had to find a 3rd party program to rotate video... but I lived with it. But now I need it to actually work.
Flashed the new PE1 stock rom Friday. Rotation worked. But I had a few issues that ended up having me start over again. Then it stopped working.
Now after multiple multiple reflashes, factory wipes, complete wipes of system and all, flashing over and over, looking up and finding a ton of 'fixes' that I have tried. I still can't get it to work.
As it sits right now, it is the 100% stock flash from sammoble. Stock bootloader and all. Not rooted. Nothing fancy going on at all. And it doesn't work.
*#0*# shows the gyroscope as constantly reading all zeros.
Suggestions?

Nothing?

Download rotation app and click on auto.

Yeah, that doesn't help either. Thanks though.

Have you tried recalibrating the gyroscope ?

I've done everything I could find to try. Recalibration was on that list. As was slamming the phone around.
All three sensor axis read zero all the time.

[Q] Bamf 2.0.5 lockscreen not properly working

Did some searching and didnt find anyone with this problem. I have the lockscreen with the ring but the 4 apps to choose from aren't there and it seems to not care that I change between the 7 available different lockacreens. Anyone have a fix for this or experience it yet?
Would have posted in the BAMF thread but it says i need more posts befote I can.
Did you try rebooting?
First time I loaded, it didn't show up, but after a reboot, it's been working fine.
Reboot didn't work, grr.. I wonder if it has anything to do with spare parts?

One more question...
Did you do the update through Rom Manager or Clockwork Recovery?
Reason I ask, I noticed when I used Rom Manger the first time, not all everything worked correctly and things were missing.
So I restored my backup then went into clockwork recovery and installed the zip.
Then everything worked properly. I know others have reported odd issues when trying to flash through Rom Manager as opposed to Clockwork.
Not sure if that will help you, but you can always give it a try.
I wiped everything and used clockwork not rom manager

Sorry I couldn't be anymore help.
Only thing I could think to do is try and reload the rom again.
About to do that now
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Yea took me 2 full clears/installs to get 2.05 installed correctly and fully
this is so frustrating, i did a reinstall and it worked for like 10 seconds then stopped working again.
i'm restoring my backup with everything that was working right now so i have a phone to use for the rest of the day but tm i'm gonna load up the froyo radio in case i wanna go back to das bamf 1.6.3 until some more of these kinks are worked out (random force closes of apps i wasn't even aware were running lmao)
thanks for all the help as always guys, this rom has SO much potential its amazing.
Would like to update this: the bamf remix Rom after a full wipe fixed literally every issue I had with the old ROM.
Best of luck to other early adopters, and these guys are doing a fantastic job..

I had this issue after trying to solve a separate issue. The lock screen works in conjuction with a group of other operations, and if one of those other operations is stopped/removed/frozen/whatever, it messes up the lockscreen. I had to do a full data wipe and reinstall. Haven't had an issue since.
Yeah I had the problem once again. Driving me nuts
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I have been having this same problem since coming from 2.0-4 to 2.0-5 and remix.
Almost thought I was the only one with this problem. I did a full wipe twice before loading remix. Worked for a while until I fixed permissions then rebooted. No more lockscreen icons
No idea what I did but now my lock screen is back to normal.
I hope this isn't something that happens all the time with this ROM. that would get super annoying
did you have any issues with previous versions?

[Q] Lost auto-rotate and Screebl

Running Evil Fascinate 6.0 with PB&J-50. Had been running near flawlessly for a few weeks. Yesterday I lost auto-rotate. The screen just won't rotate, regardless of setting. Also, Screebl Pro, which keeps the screen on when the phone is not lying down, stopped working. I tried fixing permissions with yellow, then red CWR. Tried clearing cache and dalvic. Tried re-running the zip of PB&J kernel. Nothing helped.
Anyone have any ideas?

For rotation issues, idk if it'll fix that app, but for rotation delete m3c_Yamaha.cfg from /data/system and the toggle auto rotation.

Thanks gritting the yamaha file fixed it!
Thanks times_infinity. I ended up using this as an excuse to try Com Rom 2, which I like so far and the problems are gone.

OK, my auto-rotate and Screebl have gone out again, this time on Com Rom 2. Times_Infinity, I can't find the m3c_Yamaha.cfg file. My data folder is empty. I found 3 files in system/bin:
sensorcalibutil_yamaha
sensorserver_yahama
sensorstatutil_yamaha
Can you please advise?
Ok, got it fixed using above advice. I was using wrong program to find the yamaha sensor file-Root Explorer did the trick.

times_infinity's advice fixed my stuck auto-rotate as well. Many thanks.
Is there a way to remove those files without having to be rooted?

Anyone having Navigation issues after JB update?

I'm having weird issues with Google Navigation. Google Maps works fine.
The navigation app freezes and doesn't follow my movement. When I go from portrait to landscape it cuts off half the screen.
Any way I can reinstall or update Navigation? It's not showing in play store like it used to.

I am having the exact same issues that you are describing. Have tried rebooting several times to no avail.

Gonna give this a shot to see if it corrects my navigation crashing too. Thanx for this suggestion....cross my fingers
Edit: as a side note, anyone with the navigation problem, have you done complete firmware software and hboot update or just the os update with older firmware? I only did software change and kept my old hboot etc.

Are you all running completely stock, locked, no htcdev unlock, root or anything? The reason I ask is because gf has completely untouched stock elte and gonna see if she has these problems, maybe its just us unlocked/rooted users having problems. Just another angle to think about possibly.

Ok thanx for the info, so far hers didn't crash yet in the 20 mins or so I messed with phone...mine usually crashes in the first 5 mins...so I will keep tabs on hers to see if it happens on her phone tomorrow.

I am unrooted, completely stock everything. Everything worked well before the JB update. After the JB update, everything still works with the only exception of Google Navigation. Maps works well, but Navigation starts acting up within a couple of minutes. I tried clearing the app data and cache, didn't help either. Symptoms are exactly the same as the OP. Turning phone sideways cuts screen by half, no rendering, gets unuseable. It finally sends a message that the app stopped working.
Interestingly enough, the old TeleNav GPS Navigator (used to be called Sprint Navigation) does work, but that app is pretty ugly, and not as accurate. That makes me think it is not necessarily something broken with the GPS, if other apps can access it with no problem.

I've tried everything to make it work and still no dice. Some other user reported doing a hard reset and still having same problem. I've been starting to use Waze GPS.

For what it's worth, tons of reports on other forums on this exact same issue. Even on Google Play, if you filter user reviews by phone, it is being reported there as well.

Help. Stock keyboard no longer slides!

I'm not sure what happened but now my stock keyboard no longer slides. Under a previous ROM, this was caused by Light Flow. So, I tied turning it off and in thus case it didn't make a difference. I've also cleared my keyboards cache and force stopped it, restarted phone and still nothing.
I know I had a few programs update today. Any way to find it which ones updated?
Any other thoughts?
Thnx!!!
