FYI: Sixaxis Calibration

[nc2nc2]

So, I unwrap a shiny new Epic, perfect slider, perfect GPS, perfect Keyboard, perfect perfect perfect. I buy it, and am totally satisfied. Well, until I get home and I play Asphalt 5 - realize the accelerometer is waaaayyy off. One tear falls from my eye. Some idiot at Samsung must have calibrated the thing on a rollercoaster, or installed it upside down or something. But, all is well, I found a fix. Tears stop, and I am even more in love with my android. You will need root for this fix if you have this issue. You will need to recalibrate the system accelerometer. The directions are written as follows:

1. Obtain Root (How to's are on this forum somewhere)
2. Download a terminal app from the market
3. Enter one line at a time.
su
/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha
4. Follow the onscreen directions, while making sure you device is flat.
5. You are all set! Original link

Thanks for sharing this. It is go good to know some people are really satisfied with their Epic, and for ones who are having issues with theirs, I am trying to find out if build date has anything to do with this. Can you please share what is the build date of your device and your battery??

Is there a easy root for the Epic 4g? I'm new to Android and is coming from the Palm Pre. I just got the Epic and is really loving the power of this phone and all of the customizations that you can do with the phone. This is the best phone out right now in my opinion.

One click root for the Epic 4G! v2.2.4 Now has Busybox & remount scripts!
