i'v installed this apk mobile manager, and under advanced info -> sensors shows that huawei ideos s7 has in fact the compass hardware present in the AK8973 chip
question is : how to make them work?
If you switch to compass view in google maps you will see it's already working.

It's not a setting. It's a feature of google maps. You must have the correct version though.

Just install the "compass" app in the marketplace and you'll see the compass working.
On the latest google maps version there is a compass mode toggle button. Top bar, far right.

So the proximity sensor completely stopped working sibce I upgraded to Gingerbread. Well the little red light still comes on but when I put the phone to my face while in a call I expect the screen to automatically turn off but I forget that it no longer works so I end up pressing buttons while talking. If anyone else is experiencing the same issue, or if there are any known fixes someone PLEASE help. Other than that I still really like Gingerbread.

Sadly I don't have any help for you as I am limited in my knowledge...However, I used Kenn's 2.3.4 beta ROM a couple weeks ago or whatever, and I ALSO have noticed that the sensor doesn't seem to work properly. It works right most of the time for me (dunno about you), but there have been times where it screws up. Kind of lame, but I'm sure this is fixable if other people experience the same issue and someone is willing to fix.
Try fix permissions
I am also experiencing this same issue, worked before but not now. I have already fixed permissions...

annoying but works

Yes but since the phone has the sensor I'd rather not have to hit the power button every time I start a phone call. Then I have to hit the power button again to get to the dialer or other apps. Hence inconvenient.

edit your build.prop and set proximity time to like 200 and distance to 20.

I had same problem and found another solution online: remove battery.
I was shocked it was that simple, but I did it yesterday and the proximity sensor worked great all day today. Crossing my fingers that it will stay that way.

I pull my battery often, my sensor stopped working shortly after I flashed Gingerblur a few months back...hmmmm
Someone out there please tell me how to edit the info in the build.prop. I see where my proximity sensor is at and both sections are labeled as disabled. Need to know how to edit so I can get it working again!!
I use root explorer. open build prop. make it r/w at the top. Hold finger on screen to open menu. scroll down to open in text editor.
edit: my current settings are below. and my sensor does not turn of screen. I think mine stopped working on the 1.5.7 update. hasn't work since.
proximit sensor screen off delay
mot.proximity.delay=450
proximit sesor disable touch distance
mot.proximity.distance=60

I figured out I could do this but also downloaded PropEditor which allows you to edit and .prop on your device.
After changing numbers, still nothing....

Just installed and found that the app now does not work for Note - installed ok, but it displays a screen that says not supported when launched.
The app was working well for my galaxy s (gingerbread 2.3.3) before I upgraded to Note. So now is a step backwards ...
Any ideas what's the reason and resolve?
Thanks.

Download the latest harmony remote app from the QR code above (post #1),
Installed ok but when launched, the screen display the following message...
Anyone has a hack or resolve for this?
Thanks.
If you change the screen density to 360 in build.prop it will run but the rest of the launcher and apps look terrible.
My guess is someone could recompile and change the line of code referring to the screen density and remove it. I'm sure the display would be small but still function.

Hello everyone, I have activated the accessibility light flow only now luancher or in part in the gallery the voice that tells me what I'm doing and obviously do not want it, I solved by checking on off sounds in Accesibility only so that also s-voice no longer speaks and what I was comfortable then there is a way that you do not speak when he pleases but the voice features to work?
Thanks for the help
Install light manager from the playstore. It has the same function al light flow but it doesnt need to be enabled jn the accessibility settings.

The problem is I bought the light flow and everything set up so I did not take it off
I'm sorry to hear that. But it is a known issue with the Accessibility settings. Maybe this will be fixed in an official update.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
So for now there is no solution
Yes there is a solution! Install some 3rd party TTS engine from playstore (e.g.: Classic TTS) and set it as default and that's it No more TalkBack
Just tried your suggestion but this fixes not all problems. If you view a picture in the gallery in the landscape mode the blue bar on the top will not disappear. So for now there isnt a 100% solution

The new version of light manager (paid) has a root option the has a Samsung root option in it that does not require activating the accessibility option. It worked for me.

Yes this works. But the question was if the galaxy s4 can handle Light Flow. I'm also using light manager and it works great
--Solution--
Guys I've got good news.
After flashing the new official MEA firmware the problem gets fixed !
Now you can use LightFlow :good:

Well it is not a hardware problem... You can use the fingerprint to browse through your gallery and you can open notification panel with it. So it DOES recognize swipe gestures.
The problem is to find an app/module that allows to use it for a browser. I doubt there is... Also because I don't know if there is a huge base of users that want something like that.
There are so many hidden features in the EMUI itself.
