[TUT] Turning back you G-Sensor on for Sense 5

mido.fayad · Sep 9, 2013

i'm also having the same problem and i sent my device to htc and they will change tha mainboard

the most annoying thing in this problem is that with sense 5, u can check your sensors through android sensor box app and u will see that all ur sensors are offline when u have the problem and this will make the screen on all the time and won't turn off by itself in calls which is very bad and it can fixed as u said by heating the phone but the main problem for me that my mainboard was changed in less than 1 month and it was very very cool even if u played for more than an hour with connected charger and i have to heat it by sunlight and gaming and restart to get them working

but if u checked the same problem in any sense 4+ rom, u will find that only g-sensor isn't working while all your senors are working perfect that's why many people haven't detected this problem

I am not sure whats wrong with Sense 5 ROMs, here Z-device test reports Gyroscope, Proximity Sensor, and Light Sensor as not working.
In Sense 4+ and AOSP based ROMs only thing not working was Gyroscope. Maybe if somebody patches up kernel, then it might get other sensors working atleast.

In my case once its on it will stay on as long as I dont restart my phone , im not sure why and what the difference between your case and mine

Now my G-sensor coming back again !!!
I think this problem is happening bcoz of bios (Hboot) , when I cannot get OTA update officially I'm using custom sense 5 rom which coming out first MaximusHD with Hboot 1.39, it's all fine and after getting update upgrade Hboot 1.72 this problem started. If so hopping to get some fix from HTC only.

lol, I have learned that by the hard way , dont upgrade your Hboot unless there is a big need for that, at this moment I have hboot 1.39 and there is no need to get beyond that at all , though some guy has posted somewhere that battery is better on newer hboot but that hasnt been confirmed yet

Yes that's right, in previous hboot 1.33 can do touch with cwm recovery 5.8.4.0 and upgrade to 1.39 touch was gone.
Regarding battery is not to much different for me on 1.72, I think may be some more consumption.

i don't think that it's related to hboot upgrade but it's a common problem in some mainboards as i have hboot 1.39 and have the same problem and touch works in recovery cwm 5.8.4.0 and twrp and all versions without any problem

TWRP 2.6.0 with touch working great with no glitches on hbott 1.39 here

i think that some cids got the same hboot number 1.39 but they also got another touch driver inside it and this what makes them unable to use touch
but for me with cid j15, this cid got 1.39 directly i.e we jumbed from 1.12 to 1.39 but those with problems in touch got 1.36 before getting 1.39
although i have used all hboot versions which was leaked as 1.23 and 1.29 and 1.31 then got the official 1.39 update

back on topic : just got my new mainboard replacement and works perfect till now and the funny part that the new one is manufacture in 7 feb 2013 while old one was 6 feb 2013 :laugh: ..... only one day difference from the same factory .... so hope that it will works and won't stop soon

and so i'm restarting my device alot now to see if it will stop or not :silly:

Just got the second mainboard replacement in less than 24 hours

The one which I got yesterday was working good and gave me 16200 points at antutu but suddenly it gave me a lot of force closes and restarts and it wiped data automatically then start again and gave appt of force closes when trying to copy any thing from pc
So I sent it to HTC again today and they replace it to me in half an hour

Hope no more problems as this is my sixth mainboard replacement in one year =-O
And sensors works perfect also again till now

My One X is the first HTC phone I have ever bought , and I bought a HTC phone because of the well known body and device build quality but I think HTC has missed all that with the one x as for now too many people has been complaining about many faults in this particular device, I hope when I buy my next HTC device these problems will be gone

Thank you so much for this tutorial.
It worked

To make my life easier, I used StabilityTest app from the Play Store.
Run “Scaling Stability Test (Root)”, left it running whilst I was doing other things. After little while temperature reached 50°, restarted the phone and then camera started working.

thabks for the hint , ill place this also in the tutorial,if you don't mind of course

I can confirm that overheating the device worked, brought back to life all my sensors.

In my case I just kept running antutu benchmark over and over while charging and the device overheated the third time, I then rebooted and everything worked again.

Any idea of what triggers this problem? I first noticed it after sense 5 upgrade one day when my device run out of battery and switched off itself...

Do you think this could be solved by a software update? I can still send my phone back to HTC (it's the fifth time this year) but I won't bother if it's not hardware related as it seems...

arun6106 · Sep 16, 2013

Hell Yeah!
Worked in the very first attempt, used Antutu Stability Test to heat up the phone, just did 15% and it felt hot enough, simple restart and :good:
Thanx a ton man! May god bless you

Good morning all.

This method no longer working me

What temperature are you guys letting your phone rich before restarting it?

I let me go up to 52°

Same is happening for me . My g_sensor worked this time after flashing viperx 4.0.2 on even a lower temperature . I tried this method like 10 times until it eventually went on back again
