  • Portege M700 - Rotation buton and accelerometer not working

    Running Vista business 32 bit.
    When I put my M700 in tablet mode, and tilt the tablet to 1side and press the button next to the cursor button it used to rotate the screen to that direction.
    it doesnt do this anymore. I
    Also noted that all accelerometer utilities, like tilt, shake, and advanced security do not work anymore. hdd motion detection does work.
    I've reinstalled from recovery discs and installed original and new version from tablet extension and tvap. Nothing seems to help. I've also installed Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit, it doesnt work there either. Ive actually noticed that it also doesnt work in vista because of it not working under Windows 7.
    I'm wondering whether or not my accelerometer is broken or not because it used to work with the original installation discs or is this a software issue?

    same problem here with a m400. 3d viewer isn't available in the hdd protection utility, accelerometer not working and rotation not working too. hdd protection is working. i have swapped hard disks with another m400 (on which these tools are working okay) the result is- they don't do on this m400- if i put the harddisk back it does work again- so this seems to be a hardware problem (at least with mine)-
    to give you a workaround- use the 4-way joystick on the tablet- push for as logn as a second or two and the windows mobile device center will occur here you may easily change display orientation.

  • Accelerometer not working Iphone 4s

    Seems to happen after I sync to Itunes. Found another thread about this on Itouch and it said to reset the device. I did that once before and it worked now it doesn't work again. Is there a setting for the accelerometer. Any thoughts about why it stops working?

    Wifi is now working again !
    Is really a hardware issue ?
    Lets see, how long it lasts.
    Solution:
    My wife found this via google search, and this is not a joke.
    -Place the iPhone on a soft towel or so and keep it switched on.
    -Heat it with a hair dryer from the side with the earphone plug.
    -After a few minutes, it warns "temperature" and turns itself off.
    -Let it cool down. You then can switch it on (wifi still not working).
    -Reboot now by holding home and on buttons until the Apple logo comes back.
    Thats it !  My iPhone 4S straight away connected to my home wifi......

  • IPhone 4 Photos Accelerometer not working

    I just received a new iPhone 4 and the Photos application appears to ignore the accelerometer and is always stuck in portrait mode. All other apps work fine, just Photos is not working. This is a new phone setup, not a restore from a previous phone. I have triple checked that the screen rotation lock is off and I've turned off photo sync in iTunes, deleted all photos and re-synced; it still does not work. Anyone have any ideas?

    1) Press and Hold the Home and Wake Sleep buttons until the Apple Logo appears.
    2) If that doesn't work, try a reset, To reset go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset.
    If it still doesn't work, take it in to an apple store so the expert can test it out.

  • Accelerometer not working anymore YOGA 13

    I like to tinker :-) and I crashed my brand new yoga after trying to merge the partitions. So, I did a fresh install of windows 8 pro x64. Prior to re-installing, there was a really cool feature on the bing travel app that I liked. You could view a 360 degree photo and move it with the Accelerometer / Gyro in the yoga.  After the reinstall, I downloaded all the drivers but now the bing travel app vr 360 gyro feature does not working anymore. I have tried everything I can think of like: make sure there are no exclamation points in device manager, downloaded QuickTime, java.
    Please help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    For future reference, the problem was resolved by one of the following:
    + shaking and tilting the machine
    + hard reboots
    + uninstallation and reinstallation of synaptic drivers
    + applying metro store app updates
    HTH

  • Accelerometer not working anymore

    Updated iTunes to 8 when it was available. iPod 1g stopped showing the albums view when you turn the iPod sideways. We then noticed it stopped working for safari too. But the games it works fine. We tried a restore with manually pitting the data back on bit that didn't work we are trying again as it seems the restore didn't actually wipe it clean. Some of the shortcuts created to websites was still there after. Any other ideas?e

    I noticed my Touch is sluggish when I use Safari in landscape and portrait modes. Try downloading "A Free level" from the application store. It will let you know if the accelerometer is working.

  • Screen won't rotate consistently - accelerometer not working

    My iPad (3rd Gen) is unable to rotate orientation properly when I turn it. Have tried all the usual things - have checked that the lock orientation button isn't on, fully restored iPad etc.
    I can generally get it to change between portrait and landscape, but it generally only goes to one landscape and will be upside down to how I turned it sometimes. On unlocking, sometimes it will go straight to landscape even if I am holding it to be in portrait mode. Sometimes it just does not respond at all.
    I downloaded an app that visualises the accelerometer and one of the axes does not seem to work properly.
    Took it to the Apple Store a few months ago and the guy said he's never seen this problem before. He suggested calling Apple as their engineers may be interested in it (to see the problem), but I never bothered as I highly doubt they will do anything or really be interested. Am I wrong - should I call? This is a 3rd gen iPad and I never bought extra AppleCare, so it is obviously out of the service period and I can't afford the service/replacement fee (may as well buy a new one at 200 odd quid!)
    I'm not that bothered about the problem, I tend to keep it in landscape anyway, which is why I always put off taking it to the store (the problem actually first appeared within the first 6 months of buying it, so this has been quite long term and I'm a bit silly for not chasing it back then, but oh well!) The only thing I can think of that *might* have caused it, is that the house I lived in was quite cold that winter and it would be very cold to the touch where I usually left it charging. Could low temperature have caused this? It was still indoors, though. Probably not.
    I'm guessing the answer will largely be that there is nothing I can do and that this is a hardware fault. As far as I'm aware it is a rare fault, and not a known issue, but if anybody has any suggestions that would be helpful I'm all ears.
    As I said, it doesn't bother me too much - there few apps where it is a requirement, and I tend to be able to use my iPhone when it is (can't progress in Sword and Sorcery without rotate, for instance.) In the meantime, I've sent feedback to Apple suggesting there should be a way to manually rotate the screen - though I can't see that they will ever implement this.

    No problem. Ok so as of now, this is a 'first'. Unfortunatley becuase it is just that, i'm unable to help you, or advise you on what to do next.
    If I were you, and you have completed the 5 R's on apple.com/support/ipod then i'd sent/take it back. Wow, Week 38, and a defect on GRAND scale (the accelerometer is one of the biggest selling points) - I'll keep you posted, if this issue becomes more-common place.

  • Accelerometer Not Working

    Ok so, I bought my I-touch last October, so I think this makes it a 3rd gen. About 2months ago, the screen stopped rotating on safari/photos/video/music. It automatically goes to landscape on video mode or any game apps but won't swivel around.
    I've since found that during re-syncs it has worked a couple of times intermittently but then stops working. I've reset it several times, and tried an older tip I came across of connecting to itunes,synching, disconnecting then resynching in itunes, worked twice but not ths time.Also tried i-level, which worked when the screen rotate did, but now doesn't!New i-tunes update did nowt.
    Warranty runs until Sept so I know i'm covered there, but I'd rather avoid sending off my pride and joy for 3weeks or so!Any ideas anyone?

    Ok, so the Apple guy said that it was almost certainly a hardware issue, because the reset/restore process did not alleviate the problem. He also said it's not very common at all, which would probably account for the extremely limited info available.
    I was offered- and accepted- an on the spot replacement,as I am within warranty period. The replacement is covered by the remaining tenure of the warranty.
    I cannot fault Apple on this. I hope you're in a similar position,
    Best of luck.

  • Accelerometer not working while walking

    Hi guys,
    I just want to know if it is normal that the accelerometer doesn't work while walking. As soon as I stop walking or walk slower, the accelerometer works again...
    Best wishes

    I just want to know if it is normal that the accelerometer doesn't work while walking. As soon as I stop walking or walk slower, the accelerometer works again...
    It should work when walking. There are many applications that use the accelerometer to count steps:

  • My accelerometer not working so screen doesn't switch when u turn it round what can I do?

    Screen doesn't switch around when I turn my iPad.is it broke?

    Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I was downloading podcast video in my itouch using wifi, but suddenly my wifi got disconnected and now there is a link in my podcast list which on opening uses wifi to play that video. I want to delete that link. Right to left swapping is not working.

    I bet this is too late but...
    Are you trying to print through the airport express wirelessly or the built in wireless of the lexmark? If you want to use the airport express, there is no need to mess with the wireless printing on the lexmark at all. The airport express will be easy to set up, all the wireless setups through the printers are a pain.
