[Q] How to calibrate the sensors on SGS - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys how does one calibrate the sensors on SGS. All the see is the one meant for the touch screen.

Menu -> Display -> Horizontal calibration.
Froyo required.

This way only display is calibrated right???

that does not calibrate the screen. it's not like those pda phones where you need to calibrate your screen when using stylus.
Menu -> Display -> Horizontal calibration (this does what you want)

Yes it's sensors, why else would you have to put it on a flat surface ^^

Touchscreen Problems

I just upgraded my Rom for the x time, this time my touch screen will no longer work in landscape. I downgraded to a ROM that used to work, and on that ROM my touchscreen also does not work in landscape mode. Is this a software thing or a result of throwing the phone against the wall to many times? i guess it's time for an 8525....
Any ideas how to get the touchscreen working again?
e.
same problem for me !
It's not switching to lanscape? While opening keys? Or just turning off?
If it's able to be switched with software way (Settings -> Screen -> Landscape), then this is a hardware problem.
Wizars has a magnetic sensor to detect keys sliding, try to check it (use an external magnet).
If screen turning off after sliding the keys, the flat cable is damaged.

Proximity can't turn off screen when covered

I installed a couple of apps for this, like Smart cover https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=smart.cover, and Proximity Smart Cover https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.danielling.proximitysmartcover . Basically I want when the proximity is covered (case closed), the screen goes off, and then goes on when it's uncovered. These 2 apps can do the 'wake' part alright (wake screen when the proximity is no longer covered) but they can't seem to turn off the screen when it's covered. I granted both admin permission. Here are some clues:
_ My proximity sensor is working alright (checked through hidden menu, and it does turn off the screen when proximity covered in-call)
_ Tap tap app can work (touch/wave 2x to lock, same to wake)
So any idea why those 2 app can't work? Thanks in advance.
I use Smart Screen on my Note II with the following settings:
Basic - everything blank (no ticks in the boxes}
Prox - Blank
Sensor - Blank
Start/Stop - Disable in landscape
This works for me and I have not noticed any battery drainage problems.
Please note: I have stock 4.1.2 and no lock screen enabled (my phone never leaves my sider.
This is not my ideal setup as the screen will immediately sleep if i hapren to accidently go to close. I need to pull down the notification menu at the far left or right of the screen. I have tried to play with the delayed reaction settingsand have had contact with the developer about the situation.
I am however happiest that as soon as i open my wallet case the phone is ready for use.
Quick and easy with one hand

Tried calibrating both in hidden menu and in app, but still there. But using another app, Smart screen off pro, fixed it. Guess it has to be with a different mechanism.
not proximity sensor
I have had the same problem on my 4X but the problem isn't the proximity sensor. I have tried various other apps including orientation and brightness locks. These haven't worked either, I have tried to change lock screen settings and screen time out but these haven't worked. Does anyone have any other suggestions or solutions to this problem?
I use "smart screen off pro" with no problems, all is working as expected....

what lock screen, brightness and permissions settings do you have on your phone other than what is changed within the app?

OK, I dont use a lock screen, never tested if its working...
My settings (checked):
Basic:
- Start on Boot
- Hide notification messages
Start/Stop
- Disable when in Landscape
- Enable only when in Launcher (not necessary, if u want it allways to turn screen off leave unchecked, I want Screen on in Apps, so I checked it)
Vibration:
- Vibrate when screen turned off
Thats all...

[Q] Touch screen problem, hardware problem?

Dear all,
I used to have sg2 the screen touch sensitivity was great; but with the p880 i with my screen I think is not correct.
The touch bottons back and menu are not shine like home, and sometimes the touch is not really accurate when i press. I try to calibrate the screen with NSR (nook screen recalibrate) without results, also try the hidden menu test and is a little laagy for the touch.
i flash cm the same results, reflash the jb and the same.
Maybe some tweak, will fix the problem???
Any idea of the problem??
Thanks!

screen calibration?

Is there a way to modify the screen sensitivity ?
