don`t you mean...screen off?!
if that`s the case you may have some problem with your phone. i`ve been using custom roms since 1st day and never had any issue regarding that (if THAT is the case)
screen off. I tried to restore via Sony Ericsson PC Companion, but still did not fix the error. only thing when I use the build number old 2.0.2.A.0.24. all errors are gone.

[Q] Camera and auto rotate not working

First post.
My wifes Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE from Rogers (i727R) which came with 2.3.5 got some water spilled on it. After letting it dry out the phone works fine but the camera just gives a "camera failed" error and the screen auto rotate doenst work at all in any app.
I got the camera working for a bit after doing a factory reset but but it stopped again a few days later. This made me think it was a software issue so I rooted the phone and tried flashing the stock rom back on using Odin which did not help either issue. To rule out that it is corrupted software, is there anything else I should try? New kernel?
When I enter *#0*# and go into the sensor test area, the accelerometer and magnetic sensors do not seem to be working. Gyroscope is working.
If more info is needed, let me know.
Thanks
Use this app to test if they are working: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bartat.android.elixir&hl=en.
Thanks for the help. I installed elixer and looks like the accelerometer, gravity, linear acceleration, magnetic field, orientation and rotation vector sensors are not working.

So that means it's a hardware problem. You'll have to carry it back under warranty (hopefully you have one).
That brings me to my next question.
I rooted and flashed the stock rom on with Odin, hoping that would fix it since the issue was initially fixed with a factory reset. Thought maybe a driver or something got corrupted.
From browsing the forums, it appears there is no way to reset the flash counter yet. Is that correct? If so, would it be worth waiting a while in hopes a fix comes out to reset the counter?

Only a few devices are able to reset the flash counter (so far). You could try flashing a custom rom and see what happens.
NB.: Even if you could reset the counter, that wouldn't really benefit you in this case.

Sensors not present

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.

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!

B320 Update Camera Error

DEVICE: HAM 2 | Wind Mobile but OEM Converted
So I got the OTA update yesterday and I decided to download B320 from the B309 Huawei released earlier and my camera does not work anymore!
I know this is a software malfunction because I just reverted back to B309 and the camera works 100% fine
The error I got was "Unable to connect to the camera", there's more too it but I forgot what it said
The things I tried
- Rebooting/Shutting off, waiting, and turning it back on
- Factory reset
- Reset device cache
- Reset cache for all apps
- Delete Delvik Cache
Only thing that worked for me was to revert back to B309 -_-
Please help
Front rear or both ??
I'm on B320. Both cameras are working. I've noticed that you can't access the graph which displays how your battery is being used with time. Can you check that? Go to settings, battery and then click on the third option showing how long you've been on battery.

I am having no issues with the camera on 320. Other FUT testers are reporting no camera issues, other than HDR may not be working.

I am not having any camera issues either on 320. HDR seems to work fine for me. Wish there was a way in the settings to leave HDR on as the default. Each time I go into the camera to take a picture, I have to clock settings and then put HDR on. Kind of a pain.

Sensor Issue

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?

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.

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.
