Nexus 7 accelerometer stuck. Help please.

[nerdzoar]

So I happily unwrapped my Nexus 7on christmas day, and everything works fine, but my homescreen wont rotate, so I upgrade to 4.2, but still nothing. Later on, I quit angry birds, and the homescreen is stuck in lamdscape as well as everything else. I managed to get it back to portrait by turnimg auto rotate on and off.

I've used several apps such as AndroSensor and they all give the same verdict, the Z axis of the accelerometer is stuck. Yet when I look at the 'Orientation' section, it can detect when my device is landscape but not the acceleration.

I'm not sure if there's a simple fix to this, or if it's a hardware problem and I should send it back to google.

Thanks in advance.

You might have some luck with a factory reset.

If it still has problems after that it's time to return it.

Already tried that, I'll call their technical support tomorrow I guess

Holy , just about to call Google, then my Nexus 7 falls off my desk. Now the Z axis of my accelerometer works!
