Accelerometer Problems
I’m working on the tilting issue some people are still reporting. Here’s a short excerpt of a posting over at ktk.bz, the creators of the “Bubble” app for Android. If you encounter issues with the tilting functionality of your phone please check out the following two paragraphs:
Bubble uses your phone’s accelerometer to determine the current angle. Dropping your phone can cause its accelerometer to malfunction, suddenly becoming extremely inaccurate or even stuck in one position. (I had this happen to me after I dropped my phone on pavement.) Luckily this does not necessarily mean your accelerometer is permanently damaged. A factory reset was able to correct this problem for me and for a number of other people who contacted me with similar problems.
If your angle is off by a large amount (mine was off by about 30 degrees) or stuck in one position with little or no change in value no matter how you hold it, your accelerometer is probably malfunctioning. Try testing other apps that use your phone’s orientation, like Amazed, Wikitude, or Google Street View with compass mode enabled. If you find similar problems with other apps, you should definitely try performing a factory reset on your phone to correct the problem. T-Mobile support will walk you through this process.
I would be happy to get some feedback from you on this. Thanks
