Does anyone know if there's a way to calibrate g-sensor on jelly bean?
Its not in settings>display like ICS
Probably right under my nose....

i cant find it....
after playing x-plane, my g-sensor is all messed up, and theres no way i can find to re-calibrate it, none of the bubble level apps work

I was playing Drive with Zombies and it pulled hard right. Restarting the app several times and the bubble level had no effect.
Finally I tried laying it flat on the table and starting the game. Problem solved.

I'm resurrecting this thread, temple run is tilted to the right and its annoying, my nexus is stock but this no g sensor calibration is bugging me.

The GPS Status app has the ability to do this:

Well, thanks for the idea, but that will not work - I checked (I have similar problem on my Nexus 7) - The GPS Status APPs does not recalibrate the G-Sensor system, it only "recalibrates" how it interprets the g-sensor output for its own purposes, so the recalibration does not affect any other applicatons
You can check that deleting stored data for GPS Status app wil also resets the way it represent the G-Sensor data...
maybe there is some other way how to fix the G-sensor?

Strange, because I was having an issue with my N7 pulling to the left on games, installed GPS status and did the calibration and haven't ever had the problem again. Even after reboots, it's still fine... You got me, but what ever it did, mines all good now.

I returned my 16 GB that pulled to the left for a 32 that seems just fine so I don't need to worry about it anymore.

Well, good for you... I have read some reports that the sensor come to "senses" in special circumstatnces like keeping the tablet on flat surface when running faulty apps and so on, but none of them worked for me.. it any app i able to calibrate the sensor for itself, then it is fine for it, but other apps that can not do the calibration are not affected at all

if only someone would sell 32GB N7 in my country, I would gladly change it :angel:
Ok, I will try to look for other solution..., thank anyway..
EDIT: I think have just found solution: when I calibrated the sensor using App "Sensor tester" (yes, there are several apps of that name, but only one is working on my N7 and has calibration available), then ALL sensor testing apps (including GPS status) sees the G-sensor corectly calibrated, and it works even in the game that caused all my troubles. And also, it does not matter whether or not is that sensor app running - I stopped it and deleted its data and it is still working fine!

how do you actually calibrate in the app?

In the APP menu select "other avaliable sensor", then select "MPL Accelerometer type: ACCELEROMTER " (it is actually a bit longer sentence). Then again, open the APP menu and there will be buton labeled "Calibrate" which will take you through the rest of the process...

oh boy, it seem that the problem is baack again:
I restarted my Nexus 7 (I was experimenting with USB host, but that does not belong here), and now the G-sensor it is back in its previous (misscalibrated) state, and this time, the "Sensor tester" app is not helping I even tryed several other apps, but nothing is helping this time, and I can not find what is different this time (restart)... :crying:
EDIT: hmm... today, I tried again, and now it is working (???). I do not know why it did not worked last time... If every application that uses g-sensor would also contain calibration settings for its own use, world would be so much nicer place...

Nexus 7 Auto Rotation stopped responding

Not sure what's happened, but the Auto Rotate functionality on my Nexus 7 doesn't seem to be responding anymore?
I have Nova Launcher Prime installed, auto rotate enabled everywhere I can find. It had been working perfectly, and I'm not really sure why nothing is rotating.
It seems to be getting stuck in whatever view it's currently in. I started up Transformers to see if the screen would rotate, it did because it was forced to, but then I quit the movie and my Nexus was stuck in landscape mode.
The only way I can seem to get it back to portrait mode it by making it go to sleep and then unlocking it. I've already powered it off and on to see if that would make a difference, but no luck yet.
I've owned Android devices for 2+ years now, and I've never seen this happen before... Ideas?

Sorry for the smudged screen, but here's another picture doing an accelerometer test, and the little ball was stuck at the top
Did you try default launcher? If not try that.
Another suggestion is uninstalling Nova Launcher Prime, and reinstalling.
His problem is happening everywhere, not just the homescreen, so messing with the launcher won't fix it.
Nick: This thread might help (seems like it might or might not work).

Btw, you probably don't need to turn on the flash when taking pictures of your screen. Turning it off would probably result in clearer pictures.
Mine had the problem from the start and various things I try sort it out temporarily but don't fix it.
You're problem could be reversed if it was ok to start with, something might have knocked the gyro off somehow?
Might be worth backing up and doing a factory reset?
Thanks for the suggestions everyone, but it doesn't seem to have solved the issue...
I tried uninstalling and re-installing Nova Launcher - No change
I tried to calibrate using that Compass app - No change
I then tried to do a factory reset - No change

Try reimaging with stock 4.1?
Hi,
I was having the same problem. I first tried the compass app and went through the calibration and it was the same. I then did a complete erase. Still the same. I was resigned to sending it back, but was reluctant too as I'd bought it in an airport in the UK and I'm sure it would've taken some time and there would be some hoops to jump through. I then went into Youtube and started to rotate the device around quite aggressively and found if it was upsound down and I shook it, it changed to landscape / portrait. I then tried the compass app again, went through the calibration and hey presto - it worked!!!!!! :laugh::laugh: Don't know if the compass app fixed it or if shaking it agressively did the trick.
It now changes seemlessly from portrait to landscape and vice versa. If you're used to an iPad or iPhone you might have to wait a fraction of a second longer for it to work.

I will try the rom then tell you about my opinion
I am currently giving your rom a try .
After a few minutes I found one thing that is really annoying (i already tried to change the behavior of the hardware key)..When i open a chat window (ex. whatsapp), the screen timeout (15 sec) comes and i click the homebutton ...the app is closing. Is there any way to disable that?
At the moment i also have a lot of batterydrain.. mh...(after the 1 charge)

The app is not closing you just sent it to work in background . Just hold the home button and you'll see the app in recents view. And change the interval of screen timeout for at least 1 min.
About battery drain change the governor of the kernel.
Install from playstore Nofrills cpu to change the governor as conservative .
You'll not notice any lag in games or apps .

Google Now voice commands

Hi,
Recently i've been having problems with some of Google Now's voice commands. Prior to the Google Now update last week I was able to set myself reminders using my voice i.e "Remind me that dinner is ready in 20 minutes" - This would then set an alarm on my phone to remind me in 20 minutes time.
However when I use that same command now, it saves a "note" instead and does not remind me.
I've also noticed that some of the other commands I used to use (Play, Listen to, Navigate To etc) now result in a Google Search instead.
Wondered if anyone could help?
Same issue here.
I used google now for boiling eggs. For instance, telling Now to "set alarm in 8 minutes" would alarm me in 8 minutes.
What it does now is it sets an alarm at 8pm, titled "minutes". This actually made me overcook my eggs yesterday, haha.
I cleared the app's cache but to no avail. I haven't bothered clearing the app data. This probably is the new way this command is handled, and I hope they will revert it. By the way, do you happen to have Google Keep installed? I'm thinking that the note-setting may be related to that...

Yeah I downloaded Google Keep a few days before the commands stopped working. I'll try uninstalling it now and see if that makes a difference. If it is the new way the command is handled, I hope Google revert it back to the old way.

That didn't fix it for me, though. d'awwww
All good for me. "set reminder to ... at 9 o'clock tonight' set an alarm with almost the right description. I'd like it better if it went into tasks instead though and set a reminder alarm.
"Set timer for 1 minute" also set an alarm for 1 minute from current time.

Try "GPS Status" app. It can be found in the Play Market (trial): https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5lY2xpcHNpbS5ncHNzdGF0dXMyIl0 . This program chechks all sensors in HD2. Also check your compass, because I found out that G-Sensor cannot work in Android, if the compass is blocked by some reason. The same time it works fine even with stuck compass in the WM. I got the same problem with Android when I used leather case with a magnet lock.

So, this is your reason. The most possible issue is that your compass sensor has magnetized. Try to demagnetize sensor using a standard procedure described in the manual (move your device ten times drawing "8" symbol). Than check again.

You are wrong. 3D-sensor is located directly in the mainboard and not connected by cables. That cables connects GPS and RADIO modules to the mainboard.

the GPS-Status app make with first start a calibration.
This is the CABLE for GPS
you must open your HD2 and search the problem. no other way to found this problem

-pixelfreak- GPS Status app. as same as any other software cannot demagnetize the sensor, because it is a physical process.

this is a post from a app member:
"GPS Status app has a g-sensor calibration feature. Look for it, it's there"
the app must not demagnetize.
and the latest version from GPS-Status makes with the first start a sensor calibration.
you can test this self and make a logfile from the app start and read this logfile. i have test this app in all my roms and i search and read ever the logfile from QtADB.
the GPS-Status not work with non calibration. also search the app the sensors and make self a calibration. and the app have a feuture for calibration (for external gps sensors)
pixelfreak
-pixelfreak- I will say, when I ran GPS Status app. with frozen compass and G-sensor it was still frozen. Nothing was happen. Based on my experience. Whenever I remove magnet from the proximity of the device, 3D-sensor (both, compass and G-sensor because its the same chip) started to work properly and Android rotation appeared.

hell1986 Yes. Exactly I am talking about! Try to demagnetize compass, remove a case frrom your device and check again.
P.S. Do you know how to demagnetize compass?
P.P.S. Why you talk about GPS? This is a different part of the device not related to the 3D-sensor (compas/G-Sensor).

[Q] Google Now and always listening

Dear all,
I would like to hear from you about Google Now shortcut and "always listening" feature like we find on Moto X. I'm tempted about Moto X price/specs but I'm kind of disapointed about his camera and would like to know if is there a way to use those features (always listening with google now) on Note 4.
I read about some tweaks with Tasker killing S-Voice and lauching Google Now instead but I'm searching for a more "natural" alternative.
Is there any chance to get this on note 4?
Nova Launcher allows you to enable that on any phone, and I am enjoying it on my M8
If its not "default" on the note4, I will just enable it that way..

Thank you wase4711, have you noticed a big battery impact?
Edit: I just tried on my friends phone, it only work with the screen on right?
well, I have had it activated almost from the first day I had my M8, so not sure what the battery impact is..my battery still lasts all day, which is what I expect from any modern flagship phone..
and yes, it only works when the phone screen is on, but I use gravity screen anyways, so once I pick up my phone, the screen comes on anyways.
I will be curious to see how the newest version of S Voice works on the Note 4..

Yes only when screen on. There is an app (don't remember it's name, just google it) that enables it when screen is off, but that will drain a lot battery.

Thank you. I think you may reffering the OpenMic+ and I agree with you, it seems that will really kill the battery.

there is option inside Google Now for listening but yeah when screen off it doesn't work...
+ if you want exactly same app like what is on moto X devs can port that app for other phones...
(if i buy Note4 I will try to do this )
:good:

Unfortunately, It seems that is not just port the app. If I understood well reading AnandTech review and other posts on this thread the responsible for "always listening" is a dedicated CPU from Texas Instruments called C55x. Using openMic or any other tweak without the proper hardware is just a dirty solution.

Till two or three days ago I thought the same, that's why I didn't understand the reason no other brand (sony, samsung...) was implementing the 'always listening' since they use the same SoC. But according to others, the c55x is the reponsible for this and not the S801/S805.
"Always-on" function gone and replaced by "From any screen". Why?
When you go to the settings of Google Search/Voice/OK Google Detection/
one should see the "Always-on" option.
I used to have it, but right now it´s gone and got replaced by "From any screen". I don´t know how that happened.
The problem is, "From any screen" doesn´t work when the display is OFF.
The "Always-on"-function does work also when the display is OFF.
I already re-installed Google Search, but that didn´t help either.
Anyone got an idea how to get the "Always-On"-function back?
Language and input/voice search/audio history set to ON/OK Google detection/
I hope it will help.

It´s ON already.
The problem is, that I have no "Always-on" option.

Done that already a few times.
The problem is not that it doesn´t recognize the voice, the problem is that I can´t get it to work when the screen is OFF. It works fine when the screen is on.
turn off bluetooth
set up S-voice completely
open google search, go to settings, google now
turn everything on, retrain it to recognize your voice, also turn on work from any screen
turn off your screen and try it again
what rom are you on?

Done all that already. But I don´t think that "turn on work from any screen", will help anything because this function works only when the screen is ON.
But I want GoogleVoice to work also when the screen is OFF.
Does it work on your device, Wase4711?
I am on the Dr. Ketan Custom ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/n910g-dr-ketan-custom-rom-t2928568

yes, it works on my cm 12 remix rom, and has worked on most of the roms I have tried in the last few months.
I always have set it up following the exact instructions I posted above
Thanks for your screenshot.
Now, please compare with mine: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lg74my71ux0ajaa/GoogleVoice%20settings.jpg?dl=0
Can you see the difference?
