@JPL,
Today I checked my FP with the ‘Check my Android’ app, as you suggested. It seems like the sensors are giving a quick reaction on turning the phone around, although from the app I’m not sure if it the turning data is correct.
With the ‘Ultimate Rotation Control’ app, I’m able to set the screen to ‘landscape’ or ‘portrait’ manually. However, even with the ‘forced automatic’ option turned on there is no rotation.
The only app where automatic rotation is, sort of, working still is the original camera app. With a bit of shaking, the screen turns, but sometimes not as intended, so it takes a few shakes to get the camera in position. Quite annoying, but doable.
I’m still using FP1 with Android 4.2.2
@Florian_Martys and @Stefan,
I also checked the serial number. The number on the motherboard I send in is indeed different from the one which was returned. From the scratch marks on the rest of the phone I can see that at least the front with screen and the plastic part of the back are the same, so the exterior of my phone was returned after the repair.
I send it in because it was bricked and I wasn’t able to repair it myself. For full details please see my support request #27792. In short:
What happened: the phone battery was drained while using the wifi-hotspot and other apps at the same time.
Problem: after re-charging the phone or putting in a different full battery, the phone does not start nor does it start in recovery mode (volume up + power button for 10sec.) Also i’m unable to reach it via usb or flash it.
I’ll send a note of the problem and this thread to Fairphone support. Have any of you done so too?
