G-sensor calibration not working

---

Ever since I had this HTC Tattoo, I couldn't manage to calibrate the G-sensor and therefore the display doesn't turn when I rotate the phone.

I always get the message "Calibration aborted".

Do you guys have this problem? Did you find a solution for this?

Please help!

Reset phone

Already did it. Still not working.

Did you fix the problem yet, you could try a different rom or even reflashing the one on the phone already.

same problem here.....

I did try a different ROM, still nothing.

Then it could be a hardware issue. If I were you, I would've looked for a replacement.

have you tried holding the phone at a tilt and then calibrating?

Yep, I did try that. Still nothing. I think it's just a hardware problem.

I saw this in the Hero forum and I think it might help. There are 2 ways of checking a hardware fault with the G-sensor:
- either the Bubbles game which does not depend on the OS for sensor data
- or the Sensor Debug app.

If anyone of these apps gives you a good response from the sensor, then it is a software fault and you should harass HTC for a software patch. That's what the Hero guys did and it seems to have worked for them (in that case it seemed to be some kind of permission problem with the calibration log file).
