I noticed that for some unknown reason my accelerometer and gyroscope just stopped working. I have managed to fix it and thought I would just give my story in case anyone else has this problem.
I did drop my phone but not badly and it landed on a relatively soft floor.
I tried factory resetting battery, pull, and full wipe and reinstall of custom roms. NONE of these options worked.
The only thing that managed to reset it was doing an update through Odin with an official samsung rom 4.4 that I downloaded from samsung

This was the only way to reset the accelerometer and gyroscope sensors, it also updated the baseband version to a kitkat 4.4 compatible one so I suspect if I do go back to the custom roms again (I was on Carbon Rom) this baseband update will stay with the device.
Anyway it is all working now and I am very happy the updated samsung rom in much much better and more debugged than the stock rom that it had when I got it so I think I am going to try it out for a while and see how it goes I will undoubtedly go back to custom roms but in terms of recovery it is nice to know that a flash of the official rom will truely and fully reset and calibrate the sensors like the gyroscope and accelerometer.
cheers
