When I manually open command prompt, it stays open. However, when the PC tries to load fastboot.exe, it opens and closes quickly.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveid:
fastboot.exe is a command line utility, running it by itself (without arguments) will produce the behavior you are seeing.

To use it you drop to a command prompt and enter a command such as:

fastboot devices

to see if your phone is being recognized in fastboot mode...

or

fastboot flash system system.img

to flash the system with a backup image.

You get the picture?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keycoh:
Hello everybody,

I noticed on my hero that applications using g-sensor have some problems:

Skymaps draws the horizon line sloping down from the left to the right.

Teeter game, when I put the phone on a surface (leveled of course) the balls goes to the left and slightly to the top of the screen (teeter is played in horizontal way).

I tried to calibrate the g-sensor but when I do this, the bubbles finish at the same position as at the begining of the calibration. It doesn't keep the calibration data even if I lean the phone consciusly to set the inclination as the leveled one.

Can you help me on this?

Have you noticed this behaviour on your game, skypmap and calibration tool?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcBaktus:
Yeah, I've noticed the same thing with my Hero, I have too look slightly down to get the horizon in the middle of the screen in Streetview. I too tried to calibrate the g-sensors, but with no luck. In teeter the ball end up in the top right corner when the phone is laying on the floor..
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rivak:
same here :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keycoh:
Thanks for your reply. I'm asking the problem to htc customer service.

They have answered me to try to restore the factory values, I've already tried this but no luck.

I've reported it, so I am waiting their answer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David Horn:
Same here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keycoh:
Hi,

from HTC Customer Service has no notification about anyone who has reported the bad behavior of the G-sensors and the imposibility of saving calibration.

So, they told me to ask to the shop for a replacement.

I hope an update appears soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Switchbitch:
I've noticed the very same thing. Skymap horizon sloping, 'bubbles' not centering when calibrating the G-sensor, pointing down to look straight in Street View.

They told you to send yours back? Interesting...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thiesen:
The Skymap thingie is very easily explained. The earth is actually tilting in angle relative to the sun so what you are seeaing is perfectly normal. We aren't any vikings anymore so we do not believe everything revolves around our earth... you gotta remember that what you are seeing is NOT the horizon... it's the universes "equator" you see...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trice1921:
I have the same problem. I don't a replacement would solve this because i think it's a design fault.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freddykr:
Same problem here, when calibrating it looks like it's going to be OK and then it kicks back to what it was before starting calib. Sounds like a SW fault....
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpalo:
Yes, same here. Contacting support.

So, I hard-resetted the device and re-calibrated it according to HTC Support instructions, but the problem persists. Then I got a number where to call, and I did, and the friendly lady said that she hadn't never (personally) heard about this issue on HTC Hero. I kindly asked her to run a search on their tickets (but don't know the outcome of that).

She instructed me to go back to the shop and replace it with a new unit. I will do that, but I did mention her that there are other people with this same issue and I don't think that it is my unit that is faulty.

I'll let you know if the new unit has the same issue. I'd be surprised if it didn't.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Switchbitch:
It is meant to be the horizon, which should be flat. You're thinking of the ecliptic plane which is tilted about 23 degrees relative to the earth's celestial equator; this is visible in the sky map app as 0 degrees on the gridlines that show altitude and azimuth on the celestial sphere.

The yellow line representing earth's horizon should be completely flat when the phone is held in portrait. It slopes on mine aswell.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carabei:

I have raised this issue with HTC and brought the the device into the service centre. They attributed it to a hardware fault and were giving me a one-to-one exchange.

However, with the new unit, it also behaved in the same way! Well, maybe my luck was bad and had another defective unit. They tried it with their demo set and it too was behaving the same way!! :eek:

This seems like a software issue rather than a hardware issue that they thought it was initially. It would probably be best to write to HTC so that they are aware of this issue.

I have been in communication with UK support, and they assure me that my device is faulty and to send it back (I am in Australia so... no).

I am trying to assure them that it is in-fact a software issue and have linked them this thread for reference.

Fingers crossed we'll get a fix eventually.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nevermind2001:
same problem here!

support told my i should reset to factory defaults but this dont solve the issue.

also the last software update has not solved the problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardjack79:
I got my first HTC Hero (Orange UK) a few weeks after launch and it had the same problems:

1) An incorrectly calibrated accelerometer

2) The "G-sensor" calibration routine that doesn't store the result

However the accelerometer itself seemed to work alright, just had the wrong idea about where down is, and no way to adjust it.

I wrote to HTC and they told me it may be a driver conflict, and to do a hard reset. This didn't change anything.

I wrote back and they replied with said "This is a hardware issue and we recommend contact us to book in this device to be repaired".

Then I called Orange and they "ran a diagnostic" (asked me questions) and by a (very short) process of elimination found the unit to be faulty and arranged for a replacement to be delievered.

The new (2nd) unit had the same problems. No great surprise. It also had a broken GPRS receiever so it had to be replaced as well.

The 3rd unit.... same problems. I have kept this one as everything else works fine and the accelerometer works, just needs to be calibrated.

I upgraded the firmware (actually I rooted and then upgraded to 2.76...) and its the same deal.

BTW, you can check to see if your accelerometer is good in a number of ways, probably the easiest is to download Bubble from the market place and see if it gives sensible results once calibrated (Bubble has its own internal calibration routine -- it won't affect any other applications).

Okay that is all fact, the following is educated opinion:

It appears that the tri-axial accelerometer in the Hero is mounted at an angle to the plane of the screen, and therefore requires its axes to be remapped to the reference axes (for our purposes, the real world's x, y, and z). It also looks like the calibration routine does this, but for whatever reason it doesn't stick for more than about a second.... perhaps it doesn't write the new offsets, perhaps it re-reads the old offsets back in before writing, perhaps it writes to one place but reads from another, I don't know.

Now,

1) Recalibrating a working accelerometer is pathetically easy to do

2) The accelerometer clearly works (and I believe the axes are orthogonal from using Sensor Debug)

3) Its unreasonable to expect a manufacturing process to perfectly align a sensor from the get-go (or for that matter to supply a sensor without a means of calibrating it... this is my industry ;))

4) There is already a calibration routine in the OS, its just that it doesn't work.

5) Bubble's calibration routine works fine.

Given all that, I think we can rule out a hardware fault, and really put the pressure on HTC to get this sorted... hopefully with a firmware update or calibration app. Failing that, perhaps someone around here knows how to find out where the calibration offsets are stored and we can make our own calibration app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frijj2k:
Same deal here...

I just received my new Hero from Orange today and in Teeter the ball rolls to the top of the screen when on a level surface.

Calibration doesn't work either although when calibrating the spirit levels seem to work and show it is level.

Not going to call Orange about this just yet as it clearly seems to be a software issue, not hardware.

btw, I am using the latest ROM from HTC for Orange.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordTyris:
After a few back and fourths with HTC support (involving them copy pasting the same response a few times <_<) they have decided they will "urgently look into this software issue". To be honest I'm a little concerned that they'll have no idea what avenues to pursue to organise a software patch for this...

I'll post again if/when I get a more useful response.

I've recently upgraded to the latest Modaco 2.5.1 ROM and this now finally seems to work for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpalo:
I can confirm that! With 2.5.1 Modaco ROM the calibration really works, and it saves the calibration settings, and testing it with Teeter, the ball now behaves correctly. So it is NOT a hardware issue and HTC hasn't had ANY clue on the reason (as usual).

When I reverted back to stock ROM, calibration no longer works.

Will send new ticket to HTC support, I'm pretty sure I get reply that they have never heard of this issue. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssj5trunks:
I have same issue but i think the G-Sensor calibration tool of HTC dont save the settings after calibration.

I explain my story:

When i buy it teeter and other gsensor game works fine, after install Bubble and calibrate it in all direction all goes bad.

Teeter and Labitrith no more work fine but Bubble show good degrees.

If i recalibrate with HTC settings G Sensor it not restore the good calibration.

Why???

Same issue i have with my HTC Diamond with first ROM release, after in next release the problem is solved, i think is only a software problem.

Bye
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardjack79:
Coming from MoDaCo 2.3, MoDaCo 2.6 has solved this issue for me.

Went to calibration screen, bubbles were wonky as usual. Calibrated, bubbles reset to centre.... and stayed there! Sensor debug shows its properly calibrated, and I could play Teeter without the ball flying up the top. Its actually quite easy now!

:)

Top work Paul, or whoever found the fix. :up:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpalo:
HTC replied to my second ticket regarding this where I mentioned that it is working on custom ROMs:

"We currently do not have an expected time of arrival any further new updates. We would recommend that you keep an eye on the Support Section of our website for any future patches, fixes, ROM, O/S updates."

So, now it would be interesting to know if custom ROMS have knowingly done something to this (I assume not).

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mifran:
if you place your hero on a flat surface you are assuming the battery cover is a precision engineered peace of plastic with a flat surface it is not! it is a battery cover never intended to be used as a spirit level so to put it down and expect it to measure a level is optimistic to say the least. I find the google sky map to be adequate for finding stars it is not for measuring angles on earth unless you mount your hero on a equatorial mount tripod with a spirit level you are not going to get a level horizon holding it in your hand

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeoffB:
I have a problem with the G-Sensor on My HTC T-Mobile G2 aquired last November. However my problem seems to be different to everyone else.

My G-Sensor will just stop working at all usually after it's not been used for a while. I can get it to work again by tapping the phone against a hard surface like a desk (on one of the long edges of the phone). It will then work happily and acurately in bubble and the photo album and the web browser. Teeter also works fine until it's left for a while.

It's a bit of a pain because if you want to use the internet or the photo album in landscape modeyou have to knock sh1t out of it first.

Just out of curiosity I've tried it on a stock 1.76 rom and MoDaCo 2.8, 3.1 and now 3.2 and it's just the same. When it works it works fine. I personally think my problem is more likely to be a hardware fault with the G-Sensor rather than a driver problem.

Everything else works great so I'm tempted to to live with it after hearing of problems with replacement units experienced by others in this thread.

Regards

GeoffB
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanPratt:
It IS a 'precision engineered' piece of plastic!!! That's how HTC manufactured it. Otherwise they would have thousands of battery covers that don't even fit the phone! They are all made to the same standard by a machine that is VERY precise!

Granted that it IS only plastic and is susceptible to heat/moisture/damage, it should still be good enough for calibrating the phone's g-sensor.:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bad4ss:
Maybe it works on custom roms because they require you to have root access to install them. The files that store the calibration settings may not be writable if you are not root, hence why the settings disappear after calibration. If you have root then those calibration files can be adjusted to the right settings.

So if they want the custom rom to be fixed, they'd have to make those calibration files writable even when not a root user.

I may be wrong, but it could be that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moimoimoi963:
What you said is right. The problem is that we don't talk at all about that lol...

The problem is that whatever you try to do to calibrate the phone, it doesn't calibrate it. The horizon of my phone is a 10°-inclined line (yes 10...), and i can do nothing to correct it, except waiting for a solution.
