Question [Q] [REQ] akmd_set.txt/Sensor Calibration Help

Somehow (I think from calibrating either the compass or the bubble level inside of an app), either my compass, g-sensor, and/or gyro calibration is really messed up. I've tried everything short of exchanging the xoom at BestBuy.

Now, although I can calibrate the compass and have it work inside of a specific 3rd party app (such as 3d compass), the arrow in google maps spins wildly and sky maps is completely useless (while holding the xoom in landscape and panning up or down, the screen begins to rotate/jerk left or right; with the xoom in portrait it jerks constantly to face either North or South).

Can someone please upload their akmd_set.txt file located in /data/misc? After too much searching, I believe that is my last chance of getting it working again. Also, if anyone has any ideas on how else to calibrate the sensors, it would be much appreciated!!

Thanks!

That doesn't sound like a calibration problem to me. Sounds more like faulty sensor or something.

Bad calibration wouldn't cause that unless you'd gotten it right on an axis.

You tried flashing a stock image?

Yep, tried a system restore followed by flashing a stock img. Could someone plz upload their akmd_set.txt file before I exchange this thing?

Bump.

Anyone, please?

I've been reading, searching, and loving these forums for a year and this is the first question I've asked. Anyone who is rooted can access the file from root explorer.
