Hi all,
This is my first thread... I've looked every forum, every existing thread looking for an explanation / solution, with no luck at all... I hope somebody has experienced this with its prime and found a solution, because I'm thinking in RMA it...
The thing is that my sensors stopped working! No accelerometer, no magnetometer. The screen rotates itself to portrait mode when an app asks for it, but it stays that way when exiting the app. I have to go to Settings -> Display to uncheck and check Autorotation to go back to landscape mode. This is annoying! I installed an app called Elixir 2 and in the sensors page only the microphone is listed as present. Every other sensor is displayed as not present.
I noticed it two weeks ago, but I wanted to look for a solution instead of getting it replaced. I think it came with a .15 and it was updated to .21 in the first connection to Internet. I waited for the .28 to be released just in case it fixed the problem, but it did nothing, still has the problem.
By the way, I tried a cold boot and a factory reset... still nothing.
If I can have any word from anyone I will be pleased!
Thank you!
PS: forgive my english, I'm from Spain
Get the app called elixir2. its free. Kirk show u detailed info on everything, including sensors. itll show real time info on them. allows u to cut them off n on or reset them. it might help.

Well, that's exactly what I did! I said it before It just shows an X beside every sensor and under them it says something like "not present" (I don't have the Prime here right now). In that sensors page the only one that is shown as working is the microphone.
Any idea?
Thank you anyway!

Here's a snapshot of the Elixir2 sensors' page.
Hi, I cannot suggest anything new to try.
Today I noticed some of my sensors were not working, tried playing Riptide and found I could not turn. Also tried a level app and found that the orientation was not being detected. My problem was fixed by powering off then turning on again. I did not try elixir2 before the power off, therefore could not say if my prime was in a similar state.
Good luck in getting your prime going again.
Cheers stv

Well, at least someone experienced the same... even with a reset I can't make it work. Is there any "ultra-reset" I can do?
Before .28 I get the same issue.
Sensor can restart after a reboot or a cold start, but after I plug on the dock or after a deep sleep,the sensor stop.
Sometime, after a restart the sensor was not recognized. I use elixir also to check.
Now with .28, the sensor work well.

Did you update to .28 over wifi or using a microSD?
Thank you!
Update done through Microsd.
I have tweaked buil.prop on .21 and result Fota didn't work.
Think also to make a cold reboot and clear cache of all application (can be done with elixir).

demandrin - off topic, do you know where I may be able to get the circiut board that has the microsd slot and the touch screen sensor connectors. I accidentally damaged the connectors and now I can only use the tablet with the keyboard dock as a mini laptop. I emailed Asus but they would not sell me the part. I wonder if Gary would be nice enough to sell me the part.
Is HP the only company that sells parts to customers (I love HP for that reason LOL!!)

An update with my problem: I finally installed the .28 through SD card, having wiped all the data first, and the result is the same: no sensors are present. No autorotation, no compass, no auto-brightness. Elixir shows only the microphone as one of the sensors, everything else is shown as "not available" (as shown on my previous snapshot).
Any help?
Thank you!

And yesterday, with no reason at all, ALL of my sensors (accels, gyro, magnet field, etc.) started working again. I just powered the tablet on and voilà, everything was perfect! Elixir showed all the sensors up and running!
I think this post can be closed now... I hope it doesn't happen again!

ive searched for things such as "sleep crash", "sleep bug", "screen wont turn on" etc. but can seem to find anything that tells me anything other than turn off wifi (which i tried to no avail). My issue is that when i press the power button for 1 second to turn off my archos 70 screen it will not turn back on. Same thing happens when i let it fall asleep. If i leave it plugged in and not allow it to turn off screen i have no issues. My apologies if i just don't know what words to search for ... i tried. In on the .4 firmware (latest) with no mods. This has happened through the last 3 firmwares from archos. Any ideas?
Have a you tried a full reinitialization (in settings > repair and formatting) and then reinstalling the latest firmware? If you have just been updating the firmware, the problem may have been deeper.
Thats strange... I have a similar issue with my 101: when i leave my tablet asleep for more than 20min, I can't turn it back on without doing a hard reset. Now it only happens when I simply shut off the screen and leave it alone. If I hold the power button and use deep sleep though, it works just fine. When I can't get it started I notice the little power light is on, but the screen stays black... any suggestions??
I have read somewhere in this forums that re-calibrating your screen from Settings might help, but I still didn't tied - if someone try please post results.

i had the same problem on my 32, albeit not that frequently. Downloading the FW and reflashing it seems to have made the problem go away.
You know what? Strangely enough after I replied to your post I downloaded the latest fw (2.1.4) and the problem seems to have gone away no special flash no repair I just installed and rebooted and so far no prob... I will keep testing this and post results
Edit* Ok so far so good... no problems. I'm actually surprised I'm getting better response from the device despite everyone's warnings about 2.1.4. But that's another topic. I think its just a bad install of your current FW, but I'm just guessing... My device has had the issue since I got it, I just decided to live with it but like I said the latest update fixed it... So it HAS to be the FW

err I'm afraid that I spoke too soo. My device keeps getting stuck and won't awake from sleep. This seems to happen most after switching wifi on or off, specifically whilst the device is playing music.

how are you installing the firmware? maybe im doing it wrong. I let the device update to latest 2.1.4 and then i wiped it via the settings and repair menu in android.
Edit**
like this??:
Step 1: Download the android 2.2 firmware for your archos tablet from here,you might a get a false positive notification from your browser as they are unaware of .AOS format, so ignore that and download it.
Step 2:Go to Menu > Settings > Device Storage & USB connection > USB connection mode of your tablet and set the connection mode to Mobile Media Device (MTP) and now connect your Tablet to pc.
Step 3:Now when the tablet is detected you will see a hard drive icon,double tap and open it and copy and paste the firmware (.AOS) file into the hard drive(make sure you dont copy it in any folder inside it like Music,Videos etc).
Unplug the USB connection and the Archos device will automatically locate the update file and will prompt you for the update,just follow the screen options and you are done,if it does not prompt you for an update then you might have accidentally misplaced the file in one of the folders,just locate the .AOS file from the file manager and and open it to start the update.
No no it wasn't that complicated... It was actually the simplest fix for a difficult problem. My device when I got it was running 2.1.2 out the box... Even then It had the screen problem. When I got the chance I installed 2.1.3 OVER THE AIR. Straight from Archos. Still had the issue though, I figured it would have been fixed but was greatly disappointed... Then I sort of just lived with the problem for awhile... I saw that the 2.1.4 update was released but was wary about downloading it because sooo many people are having issues. Just the other day though, the device cut off on me again and I figured to hell with it... So I downloaded the 2.1.4 OTA as well... no website, no manual install, I just let the device run its course on its own. After the update, it rebooted normally and it's been working great since... Sorry to hear not everyone is so fortunate... I really hope this helps somewhat
My dock arrived a little while ago, so I charged it and then connected to the tablet. It showed that an update was available so I installed the update.
While the mousepad works and it is currently charging the tablet ... none of the keys seem to work.
Any idea what could be wrong? Is mine defective or is there a simple configuration I'm not aware of? Just in case I disabled Thumb Keyboard and I have the Asus keyboard selected (Use physical keyboard is set to ON as well).
Pull tablet out of dock.
Put tablet back in dock.
Fixed?
Unfortunately no. Same situation. Cursor and multi-touch work, but no keys.
Should I assume no one has seen this issue?
try lock key
In the upper right? Doesn't appear to do anything

Unfortunately I didn't try it prior to the update since the notification appeared basically right away.
At that point I had only used the pad to move the cursor around. So it is possible the keys never worked, but I suppose it is also possible they worked pre-update.
dock problems of my own
I got the transformer about a little less than a week ago, installed the update, everything was fine. today i got the dock, it seemed to work, saw the firmware update, clicked to update, "Update Failed." Tried again, again failed. Now the transformer doesn't even recognized that its connected. No matter what I do, it won't be recognized... what should i do?
Thanks in advance.
Hi
yesterday, I bought my TF with keyboard. After playing a while, I decided to root them. After succesfully rooting process I installed custom ROM (3.1 from moDaCo page) . It was all the time inserted into dock station but for customising I pull it out. When I insert TF to dock the keyboard stops response. TouchScreen was active. I saw small icon with "!" that update for dock station failed. I re-run the update process (using touch navigation) but it won't progress at all (still 0). Then I reboot TF, and try to start update again. With success. Now all is working perfectly.
Maybe this description helps you somehow.
good luck.
Keyboard not working
I am now experiencing the original issue from this thread. I can not find any other threads describing this exact issue.
Here is the message that I sent Asus support. No reply yet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keyboard on my docking station stopped working. no errors it just stops. Battery still charges the tablet....Touchpad still works (and buttons)....closing and opening the tablet still shuts off and turns on screen.
No keys work. If I disable the keyboard through the android interface (Use Physical Keyboard = Off) the onscreen keyboard works fine (Current Keyboard is set to ASUS Keyboard).
I have tried
multiple apps
rebooting
undocking and redocking
hitting every key one at a time
hitting every key at the same time
closing the tablet and reopening it
device has not taking any shocks
battery is full
no contact with water
Last time I touched it it worked. it just stopped working.
Here is some additional information that I have learned.
I have tried a second keyboard dock and it does not work either.
I have done a restore to factory state with no change.
Tablet: B50 32gb Not Rooted and current on all asus updates.
Keyboard: B60 no updates available from asus.
I have the same issue
First, put your keyboard on another tablet and make sure the keyboard works. If the keyboard fails on two tablets the keyboard ribbon tape in the dock may be bad, e.g. RMA.
Then, two steps that might work:
(1) reapply the latest update via manual update
(2) factory reset
Might try in any order:
1 & 2
2 & 1
others.
Good luck.

As i stated above i tried two docks and both experienced the issue.
Mine started while the dock was plugged in so a damaged port is unlikely.
As stated above a factory reset has already been done.
I downloaded the firmware updater from the asus ftp site and extracted the asus folder to /microSD with no effect. I can't get a manual update to run. What might i be doing wrong.
I confirmed that the downloaded firmware and current firmware are US
I Confirmed that the zip file is in /asus/update

Might check:
download file corruption
file name extension .zip or .ZIP ?
various folder locations, e.g. root folder microsd vs update
directory or filename might be case sensitive?
I searched for instructions from a couple threads and the ASUS pdf and tried a few things before it worked for me. I do not remember exactly which worked, sorry.
Best wishes and good luck!
This worked for me:
1.Make it so your screen is set to "NEVER" turn off. Put max brightness, maybe play a game or something. Let your battery die. (without the dock)
2.Charge your pad without the battery until it's 100% full. Test to see if it is working. It should be but no guarantees.
3. If you have a dock, charge it as well. You should be able to use your keyboard and the battery life should be visible.
mine has been fine. Not sure if step 1 is needed. If mine stops working again I'll try to reply here.

I charged my pad with out the keyboard to 100%.
No effect.
I'm charging the keyboard right now.
Battery life has always been visible for me.
Well I finally got ahold of ASUS Support. They are having me RMA both my tablet and keyboard (not sure why the keyboard is being RMA'd since it works fine on my friends tablet) I hope I don't get a bad unit back as my current unit has minimal light bleed (not even noticable outside the boot screen) no creaking and my keyboard is a B60 so no issue with battery drain.
I had this issue but fixed it doing what I said. It hasn't come back for days! Also installed different roms and whatnot.
Im on stock Droid DNA ROM. Have the latest update. Every time I try to open the camera it says "Unable to start the camera." I have already hard reset the phone 2 times and restarted. I also cleared the camera data and cache. I don't know what to do now..
Try downloading a camera app from the market and see how it works. If that app also can't get it to start then it may be a hardware issue. If it can then you know there is something wrong with the stock camera app.

This is the same error I get on the CM10.1 ROM since the camera isn't working yet... as everyone else has mentioned it's most likely a hardware issue especially if you've tried wiping the entire phone and still have the problem.
Had this happen today. Did you ever get it straightened out?
If I try a photo the flash comes on and will not go off unless I reboot. If I try a video the screen goes black and freezes. I've rebooted, "hard" rebooted by holding power button down, turned off fastboot, cleared data and cache.
I tried CameraMX from the market and it doesn't work.
I did not buy my phone from Verizon. What are my options?
It doesn't matter where you bought it, HTC will warranty it as long as you talk to them like a human and explain the situation while being respectful.

Thanks bud. I'll give it a shot. I really like HTC phones I hope this (along with whatever may happen with the warranty) doesn't leave a bad taste in my mouth.
So, I've been resetting, force closing and clearing data the past 2 days throughout the day for the camera. Usually, after I've did a reset the camera will open, but when I try to take a picture the flash comes on and stays on the the app freezes. The led flash will not go off until I do a reset. A force close won't even shut it off.
Today after a reset, I opened the camera and instead of trying to take a pic I cycled through the flash settings. As soon as I did the interface switched to portrait, (like the phone was held) and it took pics and video like normal!!!!!!!!
It works now. What a crazy problem.
Completely stock DNA with latest ota update. Phone has not been dropped or anything.
Wow, that doesn't make any logical sense. How strange... Glad you got it fixed though!

I see similar camera weirdness a lot when I'm at Best Buy in the best buy mobile section and I've intervened on 10 or 15 exchanges by tinkering with camera and gallery like clearing app data.
You've taught me a new trick in case I ever get to show off for the hot best buy mobile girls.

If you have a flash light app and do not turn the flash off this will cause the camer to not start
Recently had the problem (camera won't start, or can't connect to camera). Got the solution here:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-droid-dna/244680-camera-unable-start.html
Just hold the power button for ~20 seconds til it reboots, and camera works just fine. No loss of data or anything. It's supposed to be the equivalent of battery pull.
Mine too!

Read the thread please. The answer is in it.
Sorry for the necromancy, I'm having the same issue, and no amount of resets, soft or hard, has resolved anything.
I received this phone about a month ago as a total care replacement for a very sad old Droid X that was needing to be put out to pasture. When I first got it, everything worked fine. The camera worked a couple weeks ago, even, but I went to use it today, tapped the camera icon, it briefly opened then instantly closed with a message "Unable to start the camera".
I tried a few more times, force quit, cleared cache, tried again, still nothing. Force quit, cleared data, tried again. Soft reset, tried again, nothing. Held power button for a reset, still nothing. Powered off and back on again, still nothing. Another soft reset, still nothing. Tried 3 other camera apps, Google Camera closed immediately with a similar error message, Vignette just sat there at Initializing Camera forever, and some garbage front camera only selfie app opened but only showed a black screen for the viewfinder.
I did another soft reset, still nothing.
I did a factory reset, and tried again without downloading any of the apps previously installed. Still nothing.
I've tried several more soft resets and cache clears since then.
It's looking more and more like a hardware problem but previous posters in this thread reported fixing similar issues without doing anything to the hardware. It has never been dropped, it has never been wet. It hasn't even been outside in a light drizzle. It's never been sat on, it's never gotten warmer than 109 reported internal temp.
Other than take it to Verizon and whine at them about how the free phone I just got a month ago is a broken piece of crud for no apparent reason or malfeasance on my part (which is probably why they had it on hand to give away, reconditioned my big toe), is there any potential resolution I'm missing that doesn't involve warranty-voiding stuff.
THIS IS PROBABLY THE ANSWER YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!
"Today after a reset, I opened the camera and instead of trying to take a pic I cycled through the flash settings. As soon as I did the interface switched to portrait, (like the phone was held) and it took pics and video like normal!!!!!!!!"
I didn't see you mention that you tried this. It fixed my dna and I never had another issue.

I can't even get that far, as soon as I tap the camera icon, the camera app flashes open for a moment then instantly closes with an 'unable to start' message. The odd thing is that every so often, with no rhyme or reason, it will randomly start working just fine, then not work at all for weeks on end.
Of course now it's so broken, even LED Flashlight apps don't detect it as even having a camera.
touchscreen has half not working, anyone has any solution tyo remote control the screen so i can acess the settings?
this Java app can be used to view and control watch via ADB only:
https://github.com/MajeurAndroid/Adb-Remote-Screen
I have the same problem, my right touch stopped working and I can't access the watch options or the last 2 weather information, you can try using adb command to reset the watch, in my case it is still not working. My watch is new and I have used it only for 1 week
I have exactly the same problem. Is this ROM related?
The right side of the touchscreen seems to be working on all other screens - I can for instance access the Compass and the Stopwatch that are also on the right side but on a different menu.
There's a youtube video showing the problem but I can't post because I'm newly registered. Just search for "Settings Button on Amazfit Stratos Not Working" on Youtube.
same problem
my stratos is with the same problem.
one solution would be to develop a ROM with the configuration button on the left side of the screen.

New firmware update didn’t fix the problem for me ?
I tried installing different ROMs but nothing seems to work, i think that the problem is the touchscreen and not software related.
The only way to access the watch setting that i found is to enable the app list using the huami amazfit tool and then swipe at the end and select settings (which is written in chinese).
Since i have the watch bootloader unlocked, i'm not sure if you can enable the app list with the bootloader locked.
Hope it helps. :good:

If you go all the way to the right and access the menu where you have the Compass and the Stopwatch, can you click on those? I can, and that's why I think it is software related but of course, I might be wrong

In my case it is hardware issue, the right touch is not working in any others screen.
You can check the touchscreen response by activating the hidden mode Lab and then enable the pointer location. If i touch the left part it appears the pointer and all the movement that i do, if i try to touch the right part nothing happens, it's dead, hardware issue
I have the same issue. But with latest international firmware 2.3.5.0. Did you solve it? What did Amazfit support say?
Something weird. After some useless rebooting and using the ADB remote screen I can now use the lower right part of the touchscreen again. However now sometimes the widgets just jumping forth and back.
Hey,
I have the same problem.
app control

This app is for Android?
Do you can access settings wifi, time format, ....?
Just use ADB remote screen for this.
Please help, is this above described mostly unresponsive touchscreen (setting icon) a software problem or a hardware problem? I cannot try out because I do not want to loose warranty while flashing back or to the latest chinese beta. I just have recognized it since 2.3.5.0. Thanks!
I did not rinse the watch with water for some days because I did not do workouts with it. Now the touch screen is working more and more again. There is still a dead spot in the middle which makes swiping down the quick settings menu a bit difficult but the settings and brightness icons are now working again. I guess there is water within the watch causing this. Maybe the watch is not as swimmprove as advertised. I just did one pool while taking care of kids. Nothing more. Since it is a swimming watch, water is probably not coming out of it's own.
Good news, I'll trying.
I'll trying good luck for us.

Guys, do you know if that screenshot off the hardware menu of stratos is normal?
I just bought it. First thing as soon as I paired it, it was to upgrade at 2.6.3.1
As I was checking out I noticed that on "Stopwatch" I couldn't press the reset/lap button whatever I tried.
Also at "Timer" I couldn't press the stop button or couldn't select the minutes on previews screen.
It seem to me that the lower left corner off the touchscreen isn't responding.
Does my finding on hardware menu (picture) confirms that?
left corner
P.S. : None intervention was made at the watch. Only upgrading.
I restored to factory settings 3 times and the problem remains.

If you clean it very well and the problem persists, then probably the digitizer (touchscreen) is damaged.
I just got my Stratos back from repair. They apparently replaced the touchscreen. But I don't know if it was caused by water entering the device or just a crappy screen. But now it is working fine.
Hi, I got my Mi 3 this week. I noticed some weird behavior from my magnetometer and Accelerometer, wondering if anybody else is experiencing the same. After a day of use, sensors go haywire and suddenly stop reporting data. Can't use compass and my auto rotate stops working. I tried different apps to see if it's a global problem or just a not compatible app, so far when sensors go blank, the effect is global. Even the Mi self test is not reading anything from the sensors. Pedometer is on the other hand operational tho.
Things come back to normal after a restart. I suspect it must be a software bug maybe?

My sensors are working but they are wrongly calibrated :/ and pedometer isn't working! I thought the pedometer was disactivated by default...

Dial *#*#6484#*#* it's the built-in test. U can recalibrate your accelerometer there and also test the device. Use power button to exit. And for +-45 test's of the accelerometer tilt your device on it's corners.

Thanks for the tip it works perfectly!
By the way, you are using European firmware or Global, because for me the pedometer isn't counting the steps :/

I'm glad to hear it worked for you. My pedometer comes and goes... Not reliable unfortunately. btw how can I check my ROM region? Got the October patch, It doesn't solve the bug...
I also have problems with my vibrator. It doesn't react to short vibrations (that much I can make out of it).

Well I seem to have the global version. MIXM
I hope they get problems solved fast.
If anybody else with the device is reading this post, can you please check your sensors with an appropriate app and see if yours is also malfunctioning randomly?
I had this problem, but I just restarted the device and everything came back normal

Yes! It goes away with restarting (and sometimes doesn't!!!)
But it's just a temporary fix, in matter of hours, you r back to the square one.

Go to Accessibility settings and turn on Touch Vibration. Keeping it off also hinders the in call volume function. Hope it helps

Well yeah, it did work actually. But the thing is, I don't like to have the touch vibrations on always, I just want it to work with G-board and some other apps that use short vibrations as a feedback...
It's like the touch vibrations setting, controls everything lol.
It's definitely a bug they have to get fixed.
So it turns out the sensor problem that I reported is being caused by the G-cam port I had installed. The solution is to close the app (in the multitasking menu !?) Whenever you are done using it.
Flash the stock rom again and your problem will be solved for sure, also faced the same issue.
I have same issue and flash stock rom but still not working how can i fix it ?
I also have a problem with compass apps. north and south are correct shown, west and east are not correct.
