I have the Epic with Froyo. I ran the sensorcalibutil_yamaha but it does not seem to help. If I turn my screen sideways when on home screen it only changes from portrait to landscape if I slide out the keyboard.

When I run this utility and I am told to put the phone horizontal, should the back of the phone be flat on a table with the screen face up or should the long bottom edge of the phone be level on a table with the screen facing sideways?

I tried pretty much everything, but the gyroscope is still off. when i play labyrinth, or use a bubble level app, it is still way off (like how it was originally).

Strange thing is, I did everything by the book, and it did say calibration was successful, i gave it SU, rebooted, i even deleted that ms3c_yamaha.cfg file. i even checked that the cfg files date stamp and size changed after i ran the calibration, but it seems to have done nothing. :(

it said:

Ok,here's my problem. I've updated to Gingerbread 2.3.3 and now the accelerometer is not working, I have tried terminal emulator but cannot find calibutil_yamaha nor can I find the ms3etcetara.cfg file.

If I reflash Gingerbread it works ok but when I restore files and apps using Titanium backup it all goes pear shaped. Help!!!!

Had the same problem after flashing to darky's 10.0 rc5 final. looked everywhere for the files. and they seemed to be missing.. so what i did. (really dident think it would work, and im not saying this is how you should do it.. but it worked for me).

I took the sensorcalibutil_yamaha file, from my old darky's 9.5(2.2.3 i belive) and copied it to the root of my internal sdcard, then ran a terminal and wrote:

su [enter]

#su sdcard/sensorcalibutil_yamaha [enter]

and rebooted the phone and.. hot damn it worked! =D it was lining up perfectly after some "8-figure waving". and me being a real noob at this stuff (got into changing roms 2 weeks ago) i was kinda proud of myself =D

If you decide to try. hope it works =D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akramhanif:
I had the same issue but now i have a fix!!!

1. Navigate to /data/system folder

2. Rename or delete ms3c_yamaha.cfg

3. Run the Horizontal Calibration from the Display settings

4. Reboot

Try it out see if it can reset your sensor again.

same problem to galaxy ace android 2.3.6

Can you help me I have the same problem on my galaxy ace.

Neither the proximity, nor the accelerometer (auto-rotate) are working and I am pretty sure that is a software bug.

I bought the phone 6 months ago from Orange Romania. It came with android 2.3.5. After I noticed this problem I have updated to 2.3.6 DDKQ8 but it did not fix this problem.

Also I rooted the phone and tried the quoted solution and I get sensorcalibutil_yamaha not found.

How can I fix this, it is very frustrating?

Hello to all.

I had this problem from about a week ago and I didn't bother to solve, I tought I had to do a factory reset.

But this morning I gave it a try after I installed the Terminal Emulator.

At first it gave the error with the fail that other users reported.

Then I read about deleting that .cfg file.

I did it then run again sensorcalibutil_yamaha, rebooted and it works again!

I really don't understand how it got messed up, I didn't drop it or reflash or something.

I just installed some applications.

Well thanks again, this forum is greatest!

You could try rockplayer (http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2010/06/rockplayer_media_player_beta_for_android.html ) but i have not tested it myself since my phone is at htc service centre

edit: if you want to convert them, I use badaboom (uses my nvidia gpu so goes fast, although it s not able to convert to the maximum resolution of the phone) or handbrake (which uses cpu)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmoono:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teffers:
Rockplayer is indeed a great AVI player but I have found a few files it plays slow or stutters on, as it's only beta at the moment I'm looking forward to the full release - in the meantime it's a great app to have.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mudstuff:
+1, I've also been using rock player for the last couple of weeks and have had no problems with any dvd quality files. I still use mvideoplayer for x264 stuff though as its better for that and the GUI on rock player is poor - visibility is an issue quite often as it's status bar overlay is transparent with a bit of white meaning you often can't see the timecode on bright images.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Balos:
hm? gpu converter? I havent seen or tried one yet.

EncodeHD is pretty simple but uses cpu power. http://dcunningham.net/media-tools/encodehd/

I pretty much recommend it if you want 1:1 and dont like messing around with resolutions and compressions.

Badaboom says my system is not compatible. But I got an 8800GT and windows 7. That should be compatible!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Balos:
I did try badaboom now and I'm disapointed actually. It slower then EncodeHD when run from a quad 9300 3GHZ. There doesnt seem to be a way to keep the original resolution either. I mean whats the point to encode to 640x480 or even 800x400 when the original files are only 624x352.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flaggie:
i'm running it on windows 7 x64 with 8600m gt and works like a charm. (for those of you with ati cards there is ati avivo but i have no experience with how it works) @balos no wonder that a cpu based encoder is faster with a 3ghz quad core (i'm only on a dualcore 1.8 ghz). And badaboom not seeing your system as compatible do you have latest drivers installed?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Balos:
I got it working but it only converts with a disappointing 170fps. When I pick a bigger resolution it even drops to 140fps.

With xmedia encode I can reach 200fps on HTC Desire profile and original resolution of the chosen .avi. On Ipod profile which i used with badaboom where I got 170fps. I can go up to 220fps with other cpu based encoders.

I would recommend Badaboom and similar gpu based converters only when you have a weak cpu or when you need your cpu resources freed for other things.

I'm gonna stick with EncodeHD and Xmedia. Both are free converters and since my cpu is stronger then my gpu and I dont use my computer when I do the converting its the better choice.

Well its true that we got an .avi player now with rock player which even plays them smooth. But .avi format uses about 20% more cpu power then mp4 so it should drain the battery so much faster. If thee is an power source close to where you watch your movies it doesn't really matter.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wickedpenguin:
I use Danuisoft Convereter to Convert , but you can use any converter. You just need to make sure that it is set to

Resolutions : 800 x480

Container: MP4

Video Codec H264

Frame rate 29.4

I set my audio codec to AAc or MP3, but thats up to you.

You can choose h264 is the only codec that show thumbnails currently.

If you jhave any questions let me know.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Balos:
i hope you only converting HDs with that setting because on the usual .avi it would be a waste.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wickedpenguin:
I have made multiple tests and these settings are best for HD and SD content .avi included.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Balos:
What exactly do you mean? Usually tv shows are in 624x352 24fps. 1000kbps

How could you gain anything from using a higher resolution, more fps and bigger bitrate. Makes no sense. The only thing you will get is streach your avarage 350MB file to 500Mb without improved quality.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wickedpenguin:
Maybe things are different from you, but this works for me. If you have another reccomendation feel free to post your two cents.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Balos:
no im just wondering how you get out of 24fps 30 and what a bigger resolution brings other then higher cpu usage and slower conversation time. Was always wonering why the cam or TS movie rippers dont just boost the resolution and make HD out of cam rips. :P

the short answer. It bring nothing. At last nothing good but if it works for you, go with it.

THE real setting for .avi if you want to keep best quality should always be.

h264

keep original fps count

keep original resolution

keep original bitrate.

you may add little sharpness filter.

Best and simpliest converter for this is EncodeHD

I find it extremely annoying that any alterations to any contact cause the phone to save the contact in a "Last, First" format. I don't like that, and I prefer a more standard "First Last".

The only way I found I can do this is through an old WinMo app called contact fix... but I need to fire it up manually after every small edit I make to any contact (let alone actually adding a new one).

Is there a way to change the default saving mode? Perhaps a registry entry of sorts?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
no you cant change the default behavour.

If you sync with outlook, you CAN change this same behavour in that, which helps some.

Look for 'contact changer first/last' which will switch all your current contacts (as you may have already done) and from now on, when you are creating a new contact, be sure and scroll to the bottom - more - then where the name shows, top left, tap it, and the third option down is 'file as'

Bit of a pain, really.

Personally i put the whole name in the first name (or last name, doesnt matter) field how i want it to show, no problem.
[HD2 General] Shaamaan:
:(

Well, that's definitely something that should get fixed at some point in WinMo...

Alternatively, perhaps it's a good idea for a background application to automatically set the "file as" parameter on any new or recently edited contacts... ;)
[HD2 General] gaeao:
Hi,

I also find it extremely annoying that each time you add or EVEN edit a contact it saves it as "Last, First". Can anybody help with this since there must be a setting for this (in the registry I would think).

You could always use Microsoft Contacts rather than Sense Contacts.

If I undertsand well with the root applied we are sticky on the old kernel. To solve the problem we could is the old kernel to boot a new one as here:

embeddedarm.com/software/arm-linux-bootloader.php

What do you think?

Ciao Angelo
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ardf69:
Ok at the end I thinked how to load alternative rom without modifying the bootloader (e.g. froyo).

1) we need to root the X10

2) we must modify init.rc to load a new kernel or enter in recovery mode

3) we install 2nboot-ng wiki.xvilka.org/index.php?title=2nboot-ng (motorola milestone has the bootloader locked as our X10)

The scripts of the recovery mode must not flash /system but they must copy the files directly onto /system.

anyways I'm working on trying to get apps on the SDcard with CM mod :) (I'm close)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HunteronX:
It's only because of the lack of multi-touch.

We'll be able to use froyo anyway, if we can get this bootloader running - whatever SE do. Then nearly all of the features of the X10 can be used.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Baxxx:
Just a question concerning Android

If i got it right,

1. Android is running as a virtual java machine on top of the linux kernel

2. SE uses a newer kernel than other donut (1.6) androids

3. Java VM boots AFTER linux kernel and system

4. we have root, so we can modify the init.d (boot) files

5. so wo could let files be launched at boot time

Woldnt it be possible to insert a shell script that after booting linux kernel and before starting the java vm replaces the java vm files so that on top of the SE 2.6.29 kernel Froyo is running?

That way we wouldnt need to modify the bootloader. Only problem (?) ist that we are bound to the linux kernel settings made by SE (as we cannot overwrite the running system).

just an idea to discuss ....

Bax
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xxsashixx:
I'm very very interested in deving for X10, I have extensive knowledge of linux and kernels

but anyways, android is running a Java VM? really?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ardf69:
Yes it can be done in /init.rc. A better solution (instead of copying files) could be to chroot the envinroment, so you teorically could have more rom (one for each directory in /system). Remain however the problem you cannot run a modified kernel (you need a boot loader like 2nboot-ng as I said before).

Android is running in a Dalvik VM, similar to Java VM ...

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Baxxx:
Hi Angelo!

chroot sounds goot, but could be a space/speed problem. On SD there is enough space, but it is slower - so that could be testing ground. Internal Rom is faster, but if original is not overwritten space could be limited.

Concerning modified kernel: Is that modification really necessary for running Android 2.1? If i remember it right N1 uses a similar Kernel for 2.1 as SE for 1.6?
