[General Questions and Answers] margaretiak:
Sorry for the title but I didnt know how could I describe it more precisely.

Problem is. I rooted gf`s htc explorer and I didnt have sd adapter so I tried to format micro sd via minitool partition wizard while it was inside phone connected via usb to pc.

After that I lost possibility to change usb mode from charging to file transfer since my card doesnt show up on pc/mobile/cwm anymore. EXCEPT "mount usb storage" in cwm. With that I see the card in pc, I can reformat it or transfer files. But I cant use it its not visible at all..only in that cwm mount usb storage.

I was browsing web/xda for like 2 hours and im quite desperate.

Any help how to make it visible again?

Its only unlocked-rooted-stock..was preparing it for link2sd.

thank a lot for a help

A lot of people is complaining out there of their broken g-sensor and possibly other sensors included , as the sense 5 camera being off all the time as it a lot dependable on it , but there have been found couple of ways to get sensors back on and it mostly work all the time , so until some will provide a camera mod people may use this mod for reviving the g-sensor back

SO HERE ARE 3 WAYS and keep cautious as these methods may harm your device

METHOD 1

-the idea is to overheat your HOX , keeping at active all the time till we get it on

-You need your battery to be around 50% not more than that , as you need to give it a chance to charge

-I open my data connection + map + navigation + screen on brightest available and on all the time + and connect it to car charger (it worked once without being connecte to charger ) the phone will heat up fast within 5 minutes ( Keep my phone connected to charger all through the process )

-once you feel your device is hot enough do a restart (fast boot way works for me )

-once your device is on back try to run your camera to see if your g-sensor is back

-and once its back , dont turn your device off or restart it as the g-sensor will go back offline and that including flashing a new ROM

-I have used g-sensor debug APP from play store to check my g-sensor all the time , once you turn it on it will recognize it as Panasonic 3-axis Acceleration sensor with numbers running up and down , but if the g-sensor is off ill will show nothing

METHOD 2

A help from a friend here used this way as he used StabilityTest app from the Play Store.

-Run “Scaling Stability Test (Root)”,

-leave it running whilst doing other things.

- After little while temperature will reach above 50°,

- restart the phone and then sensor should start working

-and again dont retart your device or turn it off as your sensor will go off again

METHOD 3

1. put on your phone around 20 songs in a format that is not supported ( .FLAC . AAC etc.)

2. make a playlist of these songs and try playing them. (this will hopefully crash your phone, if not, open some memory consuming apps as well)

3. after the crash start your phone with working sensors

METHOD 4

some people has reported that going into bootloader and flash boot.img and clear cache after that would somehow initiate sensors on reboot

!!DISCLAIMER!!

Please note that I tried this only several times on my device. THIS MAY RUIN YOUR PHONE

there is a big chance that your sensor will not start working from the first try but eventually it will

Special Thanks to [MENTION=2011762]ATZ-007[/MENTION] for his 2nd way

Special Thanks to [MENTION=5328860]getsomefood[/MENTION] for his 3rd way

Update 9/22/2013

HTC has releases a new camera APK that can work without g-sensor being online here it is http://d-h.st/PUd , but this wouldnt turn your g-sensor back but at least this ill restore functionality of our lovely HOX back

special thanks to [MENTION=5009078]virgolib[/MENTION]

:eek:
[HTC One X] JiroMusik:
The first seconds after the reboot it looked fine but then the camera crashed again and the sensor stopped working :/
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
I'm not sure what kind of defect with every g-sensor out there at HOX but it seems symptoms do vary at each device , this method does the work all the time for me and also I had to repeat this process couple of times , the strange thing at my device that this g-sensor is till functioning great for the last week with no glitches , on other pages some guys recommended using g-sensor calibration at safe mode after disabling fastboot from power settings
[HTC One X] treebill:
Umm interesting how heat is helping in this situation. I would of thought it would of been related to a kernel problem as most had no issues before updating.

Has anyone tried trips kernel, see of the issue is still on there?
[HTC One X] pekida2:

I only want camera work return in sense 5..
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
there are 2 ways to get your camera to work again

1- get your g-sensor back online , here you can find a way by overheating your device

2-to find someone there to provide a mod for the camera app to start without depending on the g-sensor
[HTC One X] pekida2:

Can u fix camera app in sense 5 ??? I only like use origin camera in sense 5. does camera like as camera in sense 5??? thank you very much
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
no issues if using Trips kernel so somethign is wrong with stock kernel or so...
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
My g-sensor has been broken since day one on sense 4+ , but ill go ahead and give this kernel a try

update : I have tried Trip's kernel , and same thing as before g-sensor isn't working here
[HTC One X] Morrdigian:
Hello guys, can i ask you. This thing happened to me on Sense 4 my phone rebooted becouse of overheat and then sensors started working, now i know why it happened :eek: i was playing 3D games out and then phone rebooted. And it worked :eek:. It happened 2 times, now i know why. Still dont understand how heat fix this problem :D So my question is how i can overheat the phone becouse on sense 5 it not heats like on sense 4 have no idea, and then how to restart? Normally power and restart? Or hold power button and wait few sec? thanks buddies. :fingers-crossed:
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
use data connection like HSPA +charging battery +using GPS + place screen on High brightness for sure wll increase device's Temperature a lot

( charging and discharging at the same time will increase battery's Temp a lot )
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Just saying.....if (over)heating helps to fix a problem ...it's definitely a hardware problem.

Get warranty....
[HTC One X] Morrdigian:
Well i will try it, but i need to over heat it to max so it restart automatically? I think at 80 C it restarts auto, btw Hofs, no warranty, and i think if i go to repair with it only way how they can repair it replace full main board.. And i dont think so it will be cheap thing :confused: I am not care about this but i am care about fix camera, on sense 4 it was working, i need just somebody to remove this gyro mode to get it work..
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
+1

we need someone to remove the gyro mod
[HTC One X] Morrdigian:
Any ideas how / or who know to remove it? :D
[HTC One X] paroys:
Comfirm, heat the phone, solved the camera issues.. :screwy:
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
Just do not restart the phone , this method sometime not always does the trick but eventually it will
[HTC One X] virgolib:
Yes it is, I had got for about 3 hours and then happened again and even still trying to come back cannot get back, is there anyway???
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
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
[HTC One X] mido.fayad:
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
[HTC One X] sthbr82:
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.
[HTC One X] virgolib:
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.
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
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
[HTC One X] virgolib:
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.
[HTC One X] mido.fayad:
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
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
TWRP 2.6.0 with touch working great with no glitches on hbott 1.39 here
[HTC One X] mido.fayad:
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:
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
congrats
[HTC One X] virgolib:
Yes what you said my CID621 is before getting 1.39, hv got 1.36.
[HTC One X] mido.fayad:
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
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
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
[HTC One X] ATZ-007:
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.
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
thabks for the hint , ill place this also in the tutorial,if you don't mind of course
[HTC One X] Pitchb3nd:
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...

I'm not sure why and how but here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39955807&postcount=2 a guy explained the cause of the problem but still not sure how heat to fix this problem
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
I use sometimes UCAM from play store and its a really good one
[HTC One X] arun6106:
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 :D
[HTC One X] ATZ-007:
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°
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
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

I hope someone will do it soon it , lol

though I dont use camera a lot , but as long as there is a part inside mobile phone isnt working my brain cant stop thinking about it until it back online
[HTC One X] bihslk:
HTC VENOM you piece of shiiiit it WORKS... Youtube turned around when used Antutu bench hahahhahaha YEAH
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
[HTC One X] bihslk:
Sensor started to work. Overheated hell of it and suddenly it started to rotade. Rebooted and still works. Woah.
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
Im glad it worked out for you
[HTC One X] bihslk:
Hahaha wierdest thing ever. Call HTC and tell them for overheat fix hahah they should never believe
[HTC One X] arun6106:
Quite strange, it worked for me in the very first try, & after 3 days,

the phone automatically rebooted while charging :eek: !

and that turned sensors back offline,

since then i've been heating it up again and again but they never came back online,

though i lost loads of battery juice in the heat-up attempts :p
[HTC One X] virgolib:
HTC had delivered app update for camera problem, but pls note that is for fixing camera only not for G-Sensor.

Download: Camera APK - http://d-h.st/PUd
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
Thanks a lot .that helps much . I'll give it a try later and I'll report . Now I can I flash any Rom I like without being afraid of losing my sensors
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
same thing happened to me , I gave it a try couple of days later and the sensor worked back again
[HTC One X] ATZ-007:
:thumbup: It works :D

So HTC knows about this problem. It's funny how this problem started shortly after flashing Sense 5.

Can't help but to think it's something to do with HTC Sense 5.
[HTC One X] arun6106:
So camera works without G-sensor!? Awesome.. Sense 5 i'm coming :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
I have discovered this problem on sense 4 by pure luck . But I didn't bother much about it since there no actual need for it . As I may only need it for playing games . But damn I bought HTC for build quality not to find such faults
[HTC One X] natanael_leon_15:
with this modified apk i can take pictures and videos horizontally?:confused::confused:

because my camera it works, but all the photos and videos i take out vertically!! u_u :rolleyes:

excuse my English :(
[HTC One X] ATZ-007:
Well my YouTube use to auto rotate, that means g-sensor use to work.

That's right.... Horizontal only.
[HTC One X] virgolib:
If your device work auto rotate you can do it.
[HTC One X] joe2will:
Did you just install apk after rom flash via file explorer or similar, or add it into the rom before you flashed it?
[HTC One X] natanael_leon_15:
my auto-rotate not, and not take horizontal photos, all the photos i take out vertically,

not work my g-sensor :crying::(
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
No need to flash it by recovery, just from inside android , from explorer open it and install it as any other aplication
[HTC One X] dino_ninefive:
While I was updating my HOX it was on charger (update was done over wifi). Other friend didnt have charger and he does not have g sensor issues while third person had charger and has sensor issues (both proximity, g sensor and all other sensors). Maybe charger was problem and maybe processor that works with all sensors is bugging the crap out of our HOXes?
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
I discovered the problem on sense 4 before upgrading beside there are 2 different types of g-sensor has been placed inside the HTC ONE X mine is Panasonic and a lit of guys have described different symptoms with their sensors .

The kind of problem I have is strange . It's like initiation problem . If my device booted and the sensor was on it will stay on with no errors at all and if it booted with sensor off it will stay off unless I restart my device again once it's heated enough
[HTC One X] virgolib:
So you can study for coming back G-sensor in this thread and try it, hope to get it again. Don't worry be happy, good luck !!!
[HTC One X] joe2will:
new apk worked a treat camera works, can finally enjoy sense 5 :)
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
New method has been added
[HTC One X] John_wba:
Lol, what a load of bollox, heating the phone every time you want to take a pic is hardly a solution, take the phone back and get it fixed professionally (will be free if you have warranty, won't cost lot even if you don't) atleast then it will be a permanent fix, without going thru this nonsense every time.
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
This problem has been showing lately with a lot of devices thats now out of warranty , and it costs much to replace your mother-board

beside if you read all the article you will notice couple of methods thats not requiring heating your device

and these methods keep you sensors working all the time as long as you don't turn off or restart your device

unless you provide a better way to get these sensors on without sending your device to repair these methods will stay beneficial

thanks for wasting my time to write all this back to explain whats already been explained
[HTC One X] roysten:
The overheat solution works only once for me too

Same for me, overheat worked on first try. But rebooted phone a week later due to blinkfeed issue and all sensors went away. Been trying overheating and rebooting for a week now with no luck yet...
[HTC One X] arun6106:
Try to crash it by playing unsupported audio formats, method 3

did work for me! :cyclops:
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
I'v been trying to find different ways to get g-sensor back, but because of multiple types of g-sesnors that have been placed inside the HOX and different causes of failure not all methods may be working at the same time , so each device can be fixes with an only one way

but hey , at least now we can get it at least working for us , lol
[HTC One X] roysten:
Unfortunate for me, the latest HTC update with android 4.2.2 seems to be able to play all file formats (AAC, flac, m4a, etc)
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
Use FLAC formats as they are huge in size . And make your list contain large number if them. I hope that will help
[HTC One X] acidspider:
Same here. Seems to play anything now. And heating my phone isn't working now

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

Can someone link something or pm something that will not play?
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
did you try FLAC?they come in a big size that may crash your phone http://download.wavetlan.com/SVV/Media/HTTP/http-flac.htm here you will find some

at this moment im tiered with fixing my phone everytime I boot so now I use the latest camera apk in the first link , at least it will make my life easier

and ill be greatfull if someone here can make a playlist with songs in a single zip file and upload it online so everyone can use it
[HTC One X] acidspider:
my phone can play these files

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 PM ----------

No way of working with richmondouk to figure out a solution to this? A possible quicker easier way to crash phone?
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
I know HOX can play FLAC files but they are big size when compared to others and that may fill your RAM faster and may lead your phone to crash , thats just in theory , I hope someone will discover another way to crash the phone , loll, break it to fix it ,LAMO
[HTC One X] acidspider:
Can't for my life crash the phone. Grrr

new incidence ,

I have installed new alex kernel 2.7 Classic PA 1 with =mpdecision + old s2w

after reboot my g-sensor went back

this is the exact way

1-boot to recovery from power menu

2-flashing kernel module on the top of Viper 4.0.4 with no wipe at all before that

3-after flashing module i wiped cache and dalvik

4-reboot in bootloader directly from TWRP recovery(no button combination )

5-erase cache

6-flash the above boot.img

7-clearing cache again

8-rebooting using this order "fastboot reboot"

and voalla my sensors are back

so id like someone there with a defected sensor to try that again and report back if this methods does work
[HTC One X] acidspider:
No luck here. :'(:'(:'(
[HTC One X] Morrdigian:
Help

Mate, can you explain it little bit more? :D I am beginner to this things, i have HOX with no sensors. Only overheat sometimes solved problem, but i want to try this way. I am running hox on ARHD 31.2 Alex V kernel, dont remember version now, using CWM recovery latest.

Can you please post link for kernel modules 4.0.4 viper? and if you can please where i can get TWRP recovery? (cuz im using cwm). Thanks a lot!

so id like someone there with a defected sensor to try that again and report back if this methods does work[/QUOTE]

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622925 here you will have the latest TWRP

and there is no modules available for Viper ROMs , what i did I installed the latest released Alex kernel from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2226360 and I flashed the boot.img from mpdecision + old s2w folder at fast boot and after wach process I always clear cache
[HTC One X] acidspider:
It's gotta be a kernel or Rom issue. I just flashed cyanogen mod and all was working fine. Even after reboots and camera worked fine too
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
in cyanogenmod the camera doesnt need g-sensor to start over , just check if applications like web browser or camera are being able to rotate in CM ROMS
[HTC One X] acidspider:
Yeah all work fine. Prox sensor is detected by app
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
Thats really complicating things for me , ill go ahead and try CM 10.1 but maybe you lucky enough that your sensors just started working after reboot

update : damn my sensors went back on cm10.2 what a luck , still I dont know why
[HTC One X] acidspider:
Gets more complicated now, I tried flashing another kernel but it didn't boot so reflashed Alex v boot.img and now have working sensors and camera again.
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
maybe it has something to do with bootloader,clearing cache , or even flashing a boot.img, I'm not a developer to discover whats really behind that
