Hi there,
I bought last week a new Nokia N900 but unfortunatly noticed lately that the rotating sensor called accelerometer sensor is not working. Can you guys help and guide me where to fix that up. Is my device faulty? or it's about software stuff. Knowing that the sensors are built in specifications, should I return it back to the local dealer and get new one because of the manufaturing defects? I've got 18 months warranty for the hardware. Thanks and
regards

i had this problem once too, however you should be able to fix it by turning the device off and back on. if that doesn't work then disconnect the battery since the device will still use some kind of memory to remember what the accelorometer was doing last. that worked for me and i haven't had a problem since

WHERE its not working?
N900 is almoust 100% landscape device.
For phone you must enable auto rotating feature.
Or its really not working at all..like @game called bounce evolution?

mine stop working here and there. turn it off and on first. if that doesnt fix it take it back

one tip install the eyes widget

Still the same ... note that all app in this regard .. eyes and shaketcontrol ..ect + when watching pic's .. there are no rotation.

I have seen this problem three times now.
First one was resolved by a gentle rap to the case.
The second one resolved by power off.
Third by removing the battery.
Is it possible one of the apps is causing the problem ?
Could it be a OS issue? Hardware issue?
I've installed labyrinth lite, Anglemeter, seismometer and pedometer widget.

vhb_q8, did you begin having problems after installing one of these?

same problem here too. power off - no solution.

EDIT:
i did a power off trick now and works... so far!

crazy again. the worst part is that now it´s unlocking the screen automaticaly, making it not usable at all!

hy guys,

i´ve found here in brazil this company that sells the accelerometer part. do you guys think that if i swap the accelerometer (soldering a new one) could fix it?
