Warning about flashing roms

schtuka · Oct 21, 2012

I understand what you are saying and I am not looking to point a finger. I am looking for solution, help. Why is the gyroscope test passes, but issue persist. Is it hardware issue as you said or software. I hope it is software. Is there a possible way of fixing it as have seen some rotation fixes for other phones, something to do with drivers.

So far, 2 users (and a third that was able to correct it).. that makes this a very isolated event. I wouldn't make the leap to say it was the RoM.. I would say it was more than likely a hardware issue on the phone(s)..

While it does seem unlikely that it would end with the same result 2 times in a row, my brother in law has had 5 ps3's and I still have my original.. there are lemons out there of each item, sometimes you get unlucky and end up with 2 of them..

Can you tell the process before and after? What did you do to create this issue and what did you do after to find it fixed?

Not sure my man..

Software issues are possible with conflicts to other things running or settings.. but if reverted back to stock and these issues are still present, then I would be 99% sure it was a hardware failure somewhere..

To the guy that was able to fix the problem, I know this isn't ideal, but have you tried and been successful in recreating the issue?

well, I gave up after rooting stock and trying Paranoid. Called ATT and they are sending refurbished replacement.

Nothing wrong with that at all..
Having one that doesn't function properly is a major pain.. no reason to suffer with it..

Settings>advanced>sensors uncheck use calibration data thats worked for me havent had a issue since

That's horrible..I will say from my experience only...its happened to me many times..Seems to float around kinda?. It won't stick vertical? and takes it almost sideways to be the corrected?
I have learned that the sensor after time re-calbrates its self so to speak..I would turn on/off auto rotation a bunch of times kinda tricking the system.And re-calibrate the senors and turning them on/off helps..Usally worked for me...that's a software issue and can, and will correct itself when restoring what ever last backup or rom you once used. No need to go thru all the trouble of taking a phone back next time..

All I can say is this is the second phone where I flash CM then the rotation sensor is screwed up no matter how many wipes, restores and different rom flashes I do.

Also not sure,But seems to have user fault to this story..As I have saud I had 2 notes and flashed every rom here least 2-4 times...even duplicating the symptoms and it self corrected itself...the supposed (harware issue)...How can you have 2 phones with same problem...The chances are slim to none like 1-million....just my opinion..

I have flashed about every ROM that has been dumped on here for nearly a year. Granted some of them have not been stellar, but none of them have every "Broken" anything on my phone. I'm not really sure that is even possible. I'm have been running CM9 and CM10 as my daily drivers for about the last 6 months and I play lots of games and all of my sensors function as their supposed to.

Before you go pointing fingers at a ROM or anything else, you need to have more information to backup your accusations.

Too FN funny!

I got my replacement Note. Rotation works fine, but the gyroscope ball still fixed in center position in calibration option. Called AT&T back and they had no clue and according to them Samsung is not aware of any problems like that.
Anyone else with gyroscope ball not moving ?

Update:
Went to AT&T Device Center. 2 of their Notes had same thing and 2 SGSIII they had also with same gyroscope ball not moving. Ball in the center. I guess it stop moving after ICS.
