Re: nokia 5800 accelerometer

do you have a screen protector or a case that might be in the way of the sensor? did you update your phone with the latest firmware update ?

You may have to do resets, maybe faulty firmware installation.

Re: nokia 5800 accelerometer

Have same problem....I upgraded to the new firm v.40 and now the accelerometer does not work for photos, sms texting....but with games it's working (GT race).

Strange.

Does anybody experience the same or has a solution rather than formatting or sending to nokia repair?

Thanks

If it happened after a firmware update, the solutions are to reinstall the firmware or to format since the error occurred during the updating process.

Re: nokia 5800 accelerometer

 Had the same issue, nothing helped until... I switched to offline mode (where I have touchscreen vibra activated - probable that did the trick) and the turning sensor came back right away. Then went back to 'general' and the turning sensor works fine again even with touchscreen vibra off...
