Accelerometer not working with phone calls?

Marty · #1 (**permalink**) 11-12-2008, 08:31 PM

I can no longer get my Sprint TP to silence an incoming phone call or mute a phone call by placing it face down. I know that this function worked fine about a week ago but no matter what I do, can't get it to work at all (haven't installed any new programs since then either). The accelerometer does seem to be working fine though within Opera Mobile as it has no issues switching between portrait and landscape modes. I have tried recalibrating with the G-sensor app but still no luck. Anyone else experiencing this and/or have a solution other than a hard reset?

Me either. Can't wait for my next phone call to try it out!

Try a soft reset than redo the g sensor and see if that will fix it.

I;ve also heard there is a way to make it auto answer a call when you hold it up to your ear. Not sure how to do this though....might be possible with a program like Gyrator 2. i'd definitley be interested in that.

the g-sensor is not suppose to work on the phone only opera, aulbums, camera, teeter, youtube and excel. but if u do want to get it to work on the phone u would have to get graytor 2 http://gyrator.brins0.net/

It IS suppossed to work with the phone out of box, in that if the phone rings, and you turn it face side down (screen facing surface)....it should mute the ringer.

Yeah, but I think they default the registry setting (see my post above yours) to 0. I'm not sure why they do that.
