Hi guys I'm on bionix 3 with JACs OC kernel with the latest voodoo and color fix installed. Since I installed the newest kernel my rotation has stopped working in all my apps. I downloaded an app to test my orientation sensor, everything is set to 0. I also dropped my phone after I installed the kernel so maybe that could be the reason...any ideas? Is there a way to test if items software or hardware related? If it is damaged hardware, should I unhappy and go to t mobile? any advice is greatly appreciated thanks!
Revert your phone to complete stock and see if it begins to work again. If it doesn't, then your best bet is to bring it back to Tmo.

thanks ill try to remove the lagfix and ODIN back to stock.
if i were to take it to Tmo and the stock rom didnt fix it, would they replace it under warranty, you think?
I'm almost positive they will replace it. Just don't tell them you dropped it!

Happened to me, requested a new phone because it would not orient even after wiping.
So I get the new vibrant and go to town and wipe again, removing superuser su busybox, when in one app I realize it orients....
It had been on lagfix and orientation worked. I moved it to ext2 on sdcard, orientation worked.
So I blame an app or something else I have not redone on this replacement.
Btw check your compass, stuck at north too isn't it?
Edit: Wasn't me knocking it off the couch if a wipe fixes it.....

some apps automatically put the phone in landscape, like the youtube app once you watch a video, but if you press back and get to the main youtube app page it will stay in landscape but it wont rotate to portrait at all until you get to the home screen which i have locked onto portrait....ill wipe and odin to stock and see what happens, but what did you t-mobile when you gave it to them? and how do exchanges work exactly? ive never done one before with a phone, do they switch you out right then and there or do they mail you a replacement?
Thanks guys for your suggestions =]

If you turn off auto orientation and exit your media apps, phone is in portrait, makes it more usable until you wipe phone.
I am not sure the stores do it past the 2 weeks, you call tmo and they might ask you to try things until they send you a new phone via ups, you put old one in a box and put the return label on and drop it off at a ups store to send it back, if you take more than 7 days, you get to pay for the replacement
pretty painless process unless you are impatient and say sure, charge me $21 for express shipping.
hm ODIN'd back to stock, works like a charm, thanks guys! must have had a bad flash or something...

Hmm that is strange, but there were a lot of weird things happening when I had the rom and kernel combo I had before. I had long wake up lag, intense battery drain, and no rotation, but I odin'd, rooted, flashed the same things again and everything works fine now, I even titanium restored some apps and settings ran fix permissions and nothing weird happening yet. Idk what could have caused it before...
My accelerometers are very flaky -- I have been assuming it's related to my nearly-useless compass and my completely non-functional GPS. I use "Digital Speed" whenever I drive my '55 (which has a broken speedo cable at the moment) and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Completely random, even after a fresh reboot.
Same problem here. Running Bionix 1.4. First noticed a problem when I installed a game that needed tilt to operate, it wouldn't work. Then I checked and the homescreen won't flip. Test apps show "no data" or "INIT" and no actual values for the sensors. I'm using the OC Voodoo version, is this a common thread with the problem?
Don't restore system setting from backup. It can kill the orientation. This is my experience.

Didn't.
I upgraded to Bionix 1.5 without Voodoo and the problem is gone. I thought maybe the 1.5 update fixed it, but another user is reporting the problem while on 1.5. I believe the Voodoo kernel is to blame at this point.

A full wipe worked for me, then again i never used anything too crazy. His experience suggests you should try it, oddly enough for me running the calibration tool, the error message talked about a stale nfs file
Reminds me of deleting battery statistics to reset the battery meter on other phones......and the full wiping/odin flashing nukes it.
Everything works fine on the replacement too with the same apps and fixes (minus lag fix) as before (orientation working wasn't found to be working before i already got a replacement on order :/ ), only thing i hate is gmaps 4.5.1 causing a load of 8.x+, enough to once get everything killed (uptime did not change although everything was reloaded, media was scanned as if it had rebooted) and a shut down the other time.
I just recently got the vibrant and got the OTA the same day, the gallery freezes about half the time, and about half of the time that it freezes i have to pull the battery, i cant get to task manager or put the phone to sleep and wake it up.
I searched google and there are alot of links regarding it but i didnt find any that gave any ideas to fix it.
I searched this forum and nothing came up. Anyway, I have a class 6 card, the gallery on my nexus is very quick and has never frozen, so it is definitely the phone.
In my experience with the g1, MT3g, N1 and now this vibrant, any time ive received an OTA it has come with costs, it always brings fixes and features but also causes new problems, large and small. So I dont doubt what I found while searching, that the gallery issue is a result of the recent OTA for the GPS fix. Anyway, its kind of silly that this awesome, technologically advanced device freezes when you open up one of the native apps. But can we do anything about it? And if not, is it likely that Samsung will address it in another OTA? thanks
edit: ive also just recently had my phone just turn off every day or so, and it wont power back on until i pull the battery. Maybe these 2 issues mean i have a defective device? Or is this par for the course with the tmobile galaxy s?
Overclock your phone to only run at 800-1000MHz. It completely solved this for me, 400-1000MHz still hiccups.
thank you, yet another reason to root i suppose...
So no way to fix that with stock phone? =(

That is odd, I've never had my gallery freeze or my phone reboot... Are you sure you don't have some rogue app? Perhaps you should factory reset and start fresh? Do you have any "junk" apps on your phone (stupid apps)?
I had a freeze on opening gallery right after the JI6 was released. I think it was trying to recreate the thumbnails from scratch and download pics from my Picasa acct.
Happened one time only and I actually had to pull the battery since it went unresponsive. Never had a problem after that.
~SB
perhaps unmount and remount the INTERNAL memory card. I've done this before just because I saw it as a suggestion and it recreated my gallery.
I having the same issue. I am ready to delete it and use a different app. Is that possible?

If you're rooted you can probably remove it.
I have tried factory reset so I don't think its a rogue app. I got the ota the day I got the phone so I can't compare before and after. If some people aren't having the issue period maybe a warranty replacement would resolve it. Of course, if we do end up getting froyo maybe that's something that will improve. Love the phone either way, I just get fed up with stuff like gallery freeze, random reboot, GPS issues, etc... stuff that i would think shouldn't get past product testing.
OP, this is discussed at the thread below. (use the search next time)
You are not the only one having this issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805784
Quick Summary:
- Even with the removable card blank, the Gallery still have the same issues.
- I did a complete wipe and still have the same issues.
- I cleared data through System Settings which recreated thumbnails and other data, still have the same issues.

Wow i am so sick of reading some loser tell somebody to "search next time". You'll be so very relieved to know that I actually did search, and all i found out is that you dont have any friends. But honestly I did find your thread, however it didnt seem to me to be on point with what i wanted to ask specifically. Your post says that "watchdog" told you your gallery is a "resource hog" and that you have to kill it. I dont know what watchdog is, nothing told me anything i just cant get into my gallery app very often, so that didnt seem applicable. Also, i got ji6 the day i got my phone so putting the gallery issue in the context you did ("since ji6 update") didnt mean anything to me, i dont anything about this phone pre-ji6 update. All I know is that my gallery app sucks, your thread was a bit technical for me to be able to apply to my particular issue
Anyway, now my gallery freezes every single time i initially try to open it, i have had to pull the battery 6 times in a row, it works after the pull. This has been my favorite android phone (of 4) but now i just want to set it on fire and run over it with my car. I guess Samsung and Android arent interested in making their $600 products work, does anybody know how i can fix my phone so that it does what it is supposed to? Also im not rooted which i assume probably makes it impossible for me to fix? thanks for any help.

Hi everyone, Im a bit desperate right now, since Ive searched all the internet (or I tried) and all of xda, but couldnt find a solution to my problem. Also Im unsure what causes it (ROM, device, some app,...?), which is why Im posting in the general section. So on to my problem:
I have a Oneplus 6, with the most current official LOS release. Sometimes when I unlock my phone, some random app will start. I said semi-random, because its mostly Instagram or Authy, probably depending on which of the two I had opened most recently (actually sometimes both will open; I see Authy for a split-second and then instagram will appear and stay), but never (as far as I remember) other apps, even if I had antoher one open before it happens.
Now, I recently discovered that I can reproduce the behavior if I go to developer settings and change the display cutout setting to something different. It will reliably happen. So the screen goes black for a second, (probably re-drawing the UI) come back and Instagram will open. This led me to the idea that the UI crashes in a way. When it happens after unlocking the device, its always black for a second as well, while usually the screen is just there.
I only found evidence of the problem online regarding Samsung phones, mostly using Nova. Im using Nova as well, so that may be the cause. But I dont know for sure.
Does anyone know this problem? Why is it always one of those two apps, that appear? Can a log help me find the issue?
Things I already tried: factory resetting and setting up Nova from the ground.
Help very much appreciated
EDIT: I dug through the log file a bit and found something interesting (as far as I can say, Im far from an expert). I attached the relevant part, may be someone can tell me what happens?

Try reporting it as a bug
This happens anytime I boot the device and the problem can persist up to many hours until the menu just decides to work...
Basically whether I use gesture controls or nav buttons, the recent Apps menu does not work. Kind of a big problem for me because I'm a heavy multi-view user.
I mash the button, hold them down, reboot the device, unistalled Nova because it's the one app that brings up anything about recent...
I looked around the forum some, is no one really not also dealing with this problem?
Also how do I boot into recovery mode, and can I boot into fastboot? My OEM toggle isn't grayed out
I haven't had this issue, and I replaced LG's Home Launcher with Nova Prime on my first day.
I also replaced the stock Android 10 gestures with Fluid Navigation Gestures.
I suppose there could be something about how FNG triggers the Recents panel that makes it more reliable/consistent, but I kind of doubt it.
I basically have my phone set up as a super-charged replacement for my beloved but aging LG V30.
Even without root, everything is gravy so far.
You can access ADB commands and Fastboot for certain apps to get around not having root (it's why I can have FNG force-hide the Navigation Bar despite disabling Android 10's stock gestures), but I do not think there is a way to reboot to the Bootloader.
I did find some instructions about holding down the Volume Up + Power buttons to boot into Recovery, but it appears to be a generic copy-paste rooting instructions taken from other phones and adapted for the LG V60 without actually verifying that it works. The article even mentions that it's a generic article that works for "most phones" and implies that it may not be viable for our phone. So... /shrug
I factory reset, and I thought the problem was fixed, but after I booted/rebooted again, the problem persisted again.
Would it have anything to do with uninstalling apps?
Almost immediately after I factory reset I went straight to uninstalling most the pre-loaded Google apps I was able to remove and the t-mobile & LG apps like Whale instead. I also Uninstaller the game loft games too.
My knowledge of Android tells me that shouldn't be the case, especially since they werent considered system apps, but from a fresh install this shouldn't be an issue.
I should also point out that I have show touches and touch data enabled, and I can touch/see the button reacting to my inputs, it's just not responding with the function
That is an unusual issue. Sounds like you tried it all. You might call LG or its time for that phone to take a trip back to T-Mobile. Best of luck.

I used ADB to uninstall a toooooon of LG and AT&T bloat and a bunch of pre-installed games.
I was being somewhat aggressive with my uninstalls, and did not consult a guide about what was safe and what wasn't (mainly, because I couldn't find one for our phone).
I haven't had a single issue with the Recents panel not pulling up. That said, with Nova and FNG, I'm not using whatever stock solutions exist out-of-the-box for pulling up Recents.
You did mention Nova in your OP, but have you tried some third-party gesture or buttons solutions for pulling up your Recents? Do they fail too?
It's also my understanding that uninstalling bloat via ADB is not a permanent solution (I can still see the apps in my apps list in Settings, they just have a "not installed" next to them, or some such). I recall reading that a factory reset will restore all of them. Since your issue is persisting after a factory reset, I have to assume the problem is not related to anything you uninstalled.
Are you on the newest system firmware? I believe T-Mo and know for sure that AT&T have released updates bringing Android's April 2020 security patch to our devices. There MAY be some minor bug fixes included with the roll-out.
If you're still experiencing issues after the firmware update and factory resets, I'll have to echo minoch's advice and suggest that you consider getting an in-warranty exchange either via your carrier or LG directly, whichever is faster/easier. If going to your carrier, try to make sure that you're phone is currently experiencing the bug in order to be able to demonstrate it to the store rep to expedite the exchange.

Sorry for the double post, but I was interacting in another thread (A Worthy Upgrade? URL: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v60-thinq/help/worthy-upgrade-t4083111) and someone there reported issues with the Recents Panel not working properly at times. They seemed to narrow it down to using pop-up instances of apps. Maybe hit up that thread for more details. But are you using pop-up windows in conjunction with Nova as well? There seems to be some kind of conflict there, though it's an issue I'm not experiencing, since I'm using Fluid Navigation Gestures for most of my gestures, not Nova's gestures (or the stock Android 10 gestures).
Recent software update from TMobile fixed that issue for me

I have this problem and usually occurs when I decide to use multi window. After I'm done using multi-window recent apps don't work I just see my current wallpaper and nothing else. I get it to work again by switching from gestures to navigation buttons or vice versa.

While I am a heavy multi-window / PiP user and that may be the issue, the problem starts when I boot or reboot, before I even have the chance to use it.
I have tried switching between gesture and buttons before creating this thread but that didn't work.
It's a little less stressful though to know I'm not crazy and am not the only one dealing with this issue

I use Nova, but I'm not using gestures for navigation, I opted to use buttons instead, but the problem (when it happens) persists when I use either navigation method. Pulling up from the bottom and holding to bring up recent doesn't work.
Also on Nova you can create shortcut buttons to bring up recent that don't involve the navigation, but that still doesn't work. Recent as a function just doesn't appear to work... Until sometime later, it decides to want to.
Then after that there's no more problems.... Until I reboot or turnoff the device, then I gotta deal with the issue again.
This happens with and without the dual screen case

I wouldn't say I tried everything, just maybe everything I can think of on my own without root. I even googled the problem on other phones, they suggested activating Google assistant for whatever reason, which I tried and surprisingly it worked, but when the recent problem came back, the assistant thing didn't fix it again. I guess it was a placebo effect like blowing into old NES carts to get them to work

SOLUTION:
@Chocolina @Mejilan
*My Device - USA S21 Ultra Verzion oem, loaded latest Tmobile FW as of this writting via odin v3.14.1_3B_P.*
De-bloated 245 apps with 210 left, which i left alone.
Had the the same problem.
Decided to adb uninstall samsungs OneUI launcher (com.sec.android.app.launcher) as part of de-bloat process, i generally use Nova Prime Launcher as default.
Thought it might be gestures related or some overlays i removed.
Restored all packages back to default then one by one uninstalling this time rebooting after every one uninstall.
Though it was the default launcher at 1st, restored it, problem was i restored it but didn't reboot device.
It turned out uninstalling Samsungs default launcher called OneUi caused this issue, enabling/restoring it made the recent apps button function again.
Reinstall your default launcher. Fixed for me, execute the command then reboot device.
could we edit recents app code in android studio?
Today, i experienced weird bug with my navigation bar suddenly and for no reason stopped showing on my homescreen and also behaving very strange, like not even allowing me swipe up to recent apps or so, tried to restart device but didnt helped. Stock launcher, and didnt done anything at the time that can cause this problem, have someone experienced something like this too? Problem still persists after few restarts
You mean the gestures? Sorry dont had any problems with it... Also rooted and disabled a lot of apps and running custom kernel... No Problems so far. Is it possible that oneplus launcher had an automatic update in the background? Try cleaning cache in recovery
Launcher updated itself but it happened early in the morning and problems start at the evening
edit : tried factory reset both in the menu of the phone then in the recovery, still no navigation bar on homescreen, it was there before im 100 percent sure also when i watch videos of using 7t pro on youtube it is there, clearly dont know what to do

can you record your screen behavior when you are on homescreen and like swiping left to right, opening recent apps and so on so i can compare? coz when i compare my behavior with other videos my phone behaves differently, navigation bar is showed in apps for example, but missing on homescreen completely and never shows there, before it was either still there on fades out, but when i swipe on homescreen to either side it reappears, now it is not simply there
edit: i recorded mine in case anyone can look how it behaves https://vimeo.com/443957044
Okay thats strange... Ive disabled this bar cause gestures work without it but on the homescreen the bar should be there... Dont know what you can do... Have you tried deleting cache?

yup i deleted everything lastly full factory reset but still remains the same even after that, i can tell for sure it behaves differently and the bar was on homescreen yesterday before issues happened and also after factory reset there were older version of oneplus launcher and it behaves exactly the same so its not the launcher too.

This is strange nate? Try to flash your rom again. Go to the playstore load oxygen Update and then load your current firmware (full) one) than go to settings, Systemupdate and flash it via local update...

Is it possible to do that without root? coz the phone is brand new i have it for two weeks didnt rooted it yet. I also thought about downgrading to older version, i remember the phone came out of box with older oxygenos but updated immediately when i was setting all up, but i assume i cant downgrade without bootloader unlocked.

i have sent logs of whats going on to oneplus staff so ill probably wait what they will say and then try to flash the rom, flashing rom should solve the problem when factory reset didnt , but im not sure about anything when i see this :laugh:
Okay hope you get a fast Response
After almost three days since last message from them and provided log file no other responses.I started thinking that it may be intended behavior and they see no weird stuff there so they close it, coz this way i showed on video it is behaving exactly like iphones gestures. even though it behaved differently before. It would be nice to see responses fro m more owners if they have behavior like me or the bar actually stays there all the time and visible even on lockscreen, coz i saw few other videos and one guy actually had the same behavior like me whereas the other had the bar always visible, kinda strange.

I have the same behaviour. It could be that it was showing on the OPLauncher before but I'm not sure. It now seems as it is intentional though

good to hear from someone else atleast we know that its not that uncommon..i dont mind that navigation bar appearance at all since swiping between apps still works and so on, but i sometimes feel that its harder for me to reach recent apps as its requiers to swipe more to the middle than before, but it might be just my feeling

I just checked and it seems though it is accessible from a little bit to the side on the OPLauncher, it is harder to trigger
Might be due to the fact that you can perform all kinds of gestures while using the launcher. I rarely use app switching there but I can see this being annoying. Unfortunately, you could only use an old apk as long as the system one isn't newer.

yeah but as i mentioned at the begining of the post, i ended up factory resetting the phone which comes with way older OP launcher as default and the behavior was exactly the same, so idk if any older apk will do the trick i think its not related to the launcher
