Default Accelerometer/Gyroscope not working ! Help plz...

Hello everyone,
I got my Optimus 4x about 3 months ago brand new. I have always protected it with a case on. So far i love the phone but just last week out of nowhere the Accelerometer/Gyroscope stopped working. As in i cannot tilt the phone during games or watch movies in full screen when i tilt the phone. I checked Auto-rotate in settings...did factory reset ...reboot and all that option...but it hasn't worked yet. What else can i do..help please. Im on wind network in Canada, if that matters . Thanks in advance.

Have you tried calibrated it? I'm not trying to discourage you, but gyro sensor is hardware related and there's a chance that you need to have it fixed.

I've read in HTC One X forum where a guy experienced this and did everything he could and ended up in the service center and got a replacement.

When i try to calibrate it says "calibration failed". I got this phone as a gift actually , so im not sure how to check for warranty.
