I have the same problem (X10 Mini Pro, 2.1).

How to test: install "My Sensors", select the first AK8973 Compass sensor. Put the phone on a flat surface. Here, Y-Axis is around -5.5 instead of 0.

I found /data/misc/akmd_set.txt but I don't know if changing values in that file (which ones?) will work.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zapek666:
Ok, some more infos I found after testing:

FORM0 fields are when the slider is closed.

FORM1 fields are when the slider is open.

The file can be deleted. It is recreated as soon as an application uses the sensors.

When moving the sensors, new values are written to the file.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] VooDoo`:
there's also a akmd2 file in /system/bin

and a VERY interesting file, named sensors.conf in /system/etc

# Setup BMA150 axes
bma150_axis_x = 0
bma150_axis_y = 1
bma150_axis_z = 2

bma150_neg_x = 1
bma150_neg_y = 1
bma150_neg_z = 0

# Setup AKM897x axes
ak897xorientation_axis_map = 0,1,2
ak897xorientation_axis_sign = 1,1,-1
ak897xmagnetic_axis_map = 0,1,2
ak897xmagnetic_axis_sign = 1,-1,-1
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zapek666:
Yeah, akmd2 is the daemon that is spawned to poll the sensors. Unfortunately the file doesn't seem to have any correction related settings.

I'm trying to find the source of it but it seems it's proprietary.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zapek666:
Ok, after messing around I found this.

akmd2 has some calibration mode, you can try by running (as root):

/system/bin/akmd2 -s

There is:

Start Factory Shipment Test

Start HDOE calibration

Start measurement

Start acceleration sensor calibration

I tested all of them but didn't manage to fix anything :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] VooDoo`:
whats with these variables in /system/etc/sensors.conf

# Setup AKM897x axes
ak897xorientation_axis_map = 0,1,2
ak897xorientation_axis_sign = 1,1,-1
ak897xmagnetic_axis_map = 0,1,2
ak897xmagnetic_axis_sign = 1,-1,-1
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zapek666:
Axis configures which axis (X, Y, Z) does what (yaw, pitch, roll). The other is if those axis should be inverted (-1) or not.

My compass is dead...

Hey, after reading the post, I wanna raise a question about my case: my compass is completely dead: whenever I try to use the "compass.apk" or google map, the compass won' spin, and the head of in the google map turns into a circle, instead of a pointer where you identify your facing direction usually....

after rerooting, unistalling the apps, nothing seems to fix it.

I'm so desperate now, would someone give me some hints? Big thanks!:confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] harr1994:
I had the same problem some months back...the only solution worked for me was to downgrade to 1.6 and reflash the 2.1 firmware using flashtool.....to back up ur data use some app like MyBackup PRO OR titanium backup...and sync contacts with google or take a SE backupandrestore backup.....hope it helps. :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bailey:
where's the calibration tool?

i have the same problem here... brand new g2x... one of the very first apps i put on any of my android devices is Screebl.. awesome app that knows how you're holding your phone and then decides whether the screen should be allowed to go to sleep or not.. check it out in the market... there's a free version too.. but i love the app so i paid up...

anyway the settings are way off on the sensor now... and i pretty sure back on 1.6 on my cliq i could do a calibration... but on my G2, and my G2X, i cant find a setting in the phone menu.... and i cant find an app that helps..

:confused::confused::confused:

Sadly, I just bricked my phone.

I tried to do a flash update (xdaforums.com/showthread_php?t=785201; replace _ with .), and it just went off and died.

3 button combo not working.

ADB, Odin and Keis not working.

I've been searching the web for 5 hours for a solution, with no luck...

I just had it for one lousy day!

I bought it abroad and now I have no idea what to do next.

Any ideas?

That's a real crappy response to a guy who bricked a perfectly good phone. I hope you brick yours so I can tell you to go buy a new one, too.

Why buy a new one?

I sent it to Samsung in Germany yesterday. Hopefully hey will fix it soon.
[General Questions and Answers] marko!:
I did a similar thing the other week. i called samsug and told them exactly what happened. some french guy asked me what i meant by bricked and i told him i messed upp while installing a cutsom rom. he then asked me what company i was a part of "what kind of customer were you dealing with on the phone?"

after fighting with them for a while I called my even dumber carrier. i fought with them that it was in no way a bettery problem for about ten minutes where i gave up and told them i was following the "take out the battery" instructions. he then told me to go to a bell store and try one of thier test bateries,

to make a long story short they said as long as there is no water or physical damage they will fix the phone for free. apperently in canada they dont have a hacked phone problem

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lllpulselll:
So i see there are a few other threads but none that i found were quite like this. My phone randomly restarts and goes to the white screen that says stick together and won't load back up, also when i reset or take the battery out unless i have held the phone infront of my AC in my car or put it in the fridge/freezer it will not boot back up, it has heat issues but it's not actually that hot, i used to play playstation games and it would get much hotter and not freeze like this, it randomly started happening a couple of months after I got it.

it will freeze often in any temperature that is not considered cold, even in room temperature it will do it, any time i try to load my playstation emulator or use the internet it has a very high chance or resetting and not booting,

if the phone gets warm at all though it's a garuntee that it is going to happen, it just depends on when, i could just be finishing a call, sending a text etc, it will happen, and the only cure is putting it in the fridge.

i'm going to guess I have a virus of some sort or something really messed up in the ROM, but i've switched ROM's and it still does it,

should i do the SD card hspl back to SPL and try to find a legit original rom copy or is there a better solution for this? i.e deleting all my addons and going with a different ROM?

my rom history is TOUCH XTREME, Miri and Dinik(this is where it started) and now Energy(it is still happening here)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
might be a good idea to go back to stock, though you dont need to remove hspl at this stage, just flash your phones original rom over usb, and have a real close look at the battery pins, they can often get bent leading to all kinds of reboot issues.

If its still the same under stock rom, then maybe remove hspl (no need for sd card flashing, can remove it using hspl2/hspl3(for tmous))
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lllpulselll:
one of my pins was actually bent a while back! i bent it back to the shape it's supposed to be and used a safety pin to widen it back up so it looks like the rest, do you think that caused permanent damage? and if so is there something i can do to the pins to make it work right again? and not reset so easily

Well, i reflashed the stock SPL and ROM and yeah it won't even turn back on, just stays on the white stick together screen. it's done, being replaced by tmobile next week.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
hmm, could be, perhaps if the pin is cracked a little, affecting power flow. not sure what to suggest.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasperbleumink:
I got the exact same problem as lllpulselll. I have already done a lot of things but none of them worked for me.

I did an hard reset

Tryed a lot of different rom's

Used the telephone al while without SD-card but still the same problem.

But I read somewhere that ik could also been your Sim-card, is that logic or not?

And by me also one of the pins by the battery is not right so I will that try to.

(Sorry for that bad English)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p107r0:
looks similar to overheating, you could install BattClock (it can monitor batery temperature) to check whether the self-reset happens at the same conditions,

had the same issue, finished with new mainboard (replaced under warranty),

during worst moments before repair I had to put my Leo in the fridge for few minutes before it could restart
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lllpulselll:
That's probably it then, probably bent the metal things connecting to the battery and messed up the flow causing the battery to overheat or think it's overheating somehow. sucks that that is all that's wrong with it and it has to be replaced, wish the prongs could be repaired.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p107r0:
not necesserilly so don't blame yourself - mine had faulty mainboard (not battery) probably from the very beginning, but as it was purchased in winter, the symptoms did not show up until late spring, when outside temps grew
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnsecWifi:
I flashed jpk rom and tried restoring the one paid app I had installed before the flash,chicktionary. I used titanium backup to restore it but when i click on the icon the screen goes black and the phone starts vibrating.

It vibrates once then a pause then vibrates three times,it does this sequence eight times then the app starts. But then when I make a selection it does the vibrating sequence all over again four times making it unplayable.

So I uninstalled it cleared the cache partition, went back to the market (where it shows purchased) and downloaded it again. Same thing, hangs and vibrates. Does anyone know what's going on or how to get this working again?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
maybe the app is not compatible with Froyo

there are a lot of Apps that work in 2.1 but not in 2.2

find and install a newer version for Froyo

if you email the developer i'm sure they will add in Froyo support
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] t3project:
maybe i missed it and if i did someone point me in the right direction but has anyone done a transparent app drawer background MOD for launcher pro?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] heartcoke:
Oh crap I was totally looking for this the other day, it looks so nice on ADB launcher.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] smbergie200:
Found solution - Enjoy!!

I wanted to do the same also - so I did a bit of investigation. Actually turned out to be pretty easy. I use GIMP 2 program. After you follow the direction below save it as a .png file with any name. Save it to a folder on your phone. Then hold down app drawer icon on phone till popup box - select change icon. Navigate to the folder where you saved the transparent icon and click on it to select it. * it is transparent so you wont "see" the icon click on the screen and it will pick it * And that's it. Enjoy! - I know I did :D

GIMP 2 makes it easy to create a transparent image:

1. Pull down the File menu.

2. Pick "new."

3. Click the "+" sign next to "Advanced Options."

4. Select "Transparency" from the "Fill with:" menu.

5. Click "OK."
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SniperDroid:
I believe he was asking for a transparent background when you OPEN the app drawer, like ADW, not a transparent icon FOR opening the app drawer.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fmedina2:
I want side by side pages in the app drawer like ADW. Might have to switch soon if launcher pro doesnt step it up. I tried requesting stuff on their forums but it gets overlooked.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] heartcoke:
I love the launcher pro widgets so I'm not switching to ADW anytime soon, but I would love a transparent app drawer background.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Max_Pain:
+1 interest in transparent background for the app drawer...

+5 if it still maintains the 3d perspective while being transparent!:D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Holy crap man did you really say that??? You know Fede release updates pretty frequently to LauncherPro right? If the side-swiping app drawer feature is missing it's either because:

- Demand for it is low

- It's not important

- It's been overlooked

- Fede just doesn't want it in LauncherPro

But to say "if Launcher Pro doesn't step it up" is a little unfair at best. To each their own but LauncherPro is awesome.

I don't want to crap up this thread so I'm out :)

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Max_Pain:
i think that if it can't be transparent black is the most professional and simple look.

any explanation as to why it would cause problems? i have seen some ROMS that have included a transparent app drawer, and i'm assuming they're not releasing roms with known problems like that? :confused:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] I9000bramgmail:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] antonio1475:
I have tried many times. I just spent an hour looking for what to change. I believe it is some xml value since there isn't any black png. I've looked in all xml, also for ff000000 (black), which drove me to all-apps-list.xml with the android:background="#ff000000" (black) value. I thought I had found it, but it won't change the colour...

I think I'm done with it, I will keep it black... :(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] antonio1475:
I did it in a half way :confused: I changed the values from ff000000 (black) to ffffffff (white) and added some things to the all-apps-grid.xml so I am close... I have now white background while app drawer is opening and closing, also at the bottom if there are no apps to fill all spaces, and some white spaces showing sometimes (like a buggy app that don't work well)

:confused::)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] antonio1475:
Nah, I'm stuck... This is app drawer:

As I said, just blank spaces and focused item will change background colour

And this is app drawer opening (it looks ugly but it's the fading):

Fede has pretty much abandoned this app.. there's a huge discussion that is ongoing at the forum but he pops in like once every few months to keep people anticipating updates.. but he's full of it and there hasn't been an update in a long, long time.. he's falling behind other launchers because he's too busy with his music app.

My bet is we will never see the transparent app drawer. Or anything else.
