Possible Things to do: G-Sensor Not Working on Fusion Bolt

Apr 24, 2013

There was anonymous commenter who asked how to setup the G-sensor for Fusion Bolt. I will try to give general instructions about how to "fix" it.

G-sensor is an ability of a phone to know the forces that are acting on it. If you shift your phone, the screen also changes orientation or some games use G-sensor to know if it goes right or left depending on the device's tilt. I am not 100% sure if it would be working for the Fusion Bolt. But it is worth a try.

Possible Things to do: G-Sensor Not Working on Fusion Bolt


1. Verify G-Sensor Settings
Tap "Settings" then "Display." Look for the "Auto-rotate screen" option or the like. Make sure it is checked. Test out your G-sensor. If it does not work, try the next step.

2. Recalibrate your G-Sensor
Tap "Settings" then "Display." Look for "G-sensor Calibration" or the like. Put it on a flat surface, then tap "Calibrate". Wait for the phone to recalibrate and click "OK." Test your G-sensor.

Caution: if this is not done on a flat surface your phone may auto-rotate on wrong angles.
If this is not working, try the next step.

3. Check the Orientation
Tap "Settings" then "Display." Look for "Orientation" or the like. Check the box. Test your G-sensor. If not then try the next step.

4. Do a Hard Reset
Hold the power button for 3 or more seconds. This will reset your phone. If it is not working then please proceed to the next step.

5. Bring your phone to the store where you bought it.
This sounds like a very heavy thing to do. However, if your G-sensor isn't working there might be other functions that are defective.
The technicians may flash your ROM to factory default. And your G-sensor maybe working after flashing. Advantages of this: (a) you have a phone that feels brand new since it was flashed to default; (b) you did not void your warranty.

A Note For Fusion Bolt Users:
If you are a person who dares to experiment and learn more by doing then you might want to flash your own ROM using this tutorial of "Upgrading Firmware for Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt." This would increase the functionality of your Fusion Bolt.

I hope this helped. I do not recommend installing apps that promise to fix your G-sensor. There is no software that can fix your missing or defective hardware.

    2. Sorry late reply. If the rooting is not done correctly your phone will be "bricked." That means you will be unable to use the tab. You will also void your warranty. However, if successfully done, you will have admin rights. You can edit folders/files hidden from a common user.

    3. take note:
      rooting >admin rights
      flashing >putting modified ROM files
      i will try to clear these terms in a future article. (:
      For me,ok lng iroot ang fubo as long as you don't modify vital folders/files. Flashing ROMs is riskier.

    4. sino nagsabing nakakasira ang rooting, di sana sira na yang si FuBo bago pa inilabas. why, kasi rooted na ang FuBo upon purchased. matagal nang ginagawa ang rooting since first iteration pa yan nang android. yung ibang manufacturer nga ibinibigay pa source code and inaunlocked pa nila bootloaders for developers.

      Walang risks involved sa rooting. Flashing of firmware ang meron, yung tinatawag nilang BRICKING.

    5. there is a slight possibility that the rooted phone will not work sir vinci. esp f madelete yung vital folder/s from internal memory. but you are right that flashing is more risky than rooting. :)

    1. I will look into this. I am not really a gamer by the way.hehehe I just use tabs/mobile for browsing and communicating. But I will try to find more apps/games that would need rooting.

      Thank you for the info. If mayroon kang matutunan na bago sana mashare mo rin dito. :)

  5. Hi Nico! Your site is very useful especially that there are no other sites that offer reviews and troubleshooting fusion bolt. Keep up the good job. I really appreciate it. However I am currently having trouble with my gsensor now. It seems able to work properly when I use it on games but my home screen just won't rotate. Do you any ideas on how to fix this? If you recommend that should bring this to a technician, how much do you think I should pay?

    1. Salamat po sa compliment. Try to check your settings sa auto-rotate screen. Or anything that has to do with the screen/display settings. I cannot say the price of you bring it to a technician, iba-iba na man kasi ang price nila. Pero if sa akin, kahit Php100 ok na, or kahit softdrinks lang.hahaha
