Flash ics leak. 232 is recommended. Especially if you want to return back to 5.9.905 for a warranty replacement. I'm willing to bet that ics would cure your phone of these glitches. 232 cured mine from data drops and random reboots. Y'all feel free to send me a pm if you want any help flashing ics. I'm happy to help.

Yes try GPS status and see if that gives you any errors. Supposedly if you waive the phone around in a figure 8 three times it recalibrates the sensor (no BS GPS status will tell you this)

but I have also used a method that you turn the phone 3 times on each of it's axis? axes? axises? Whatever

If nothing else works I would call VZW and try to get a replacement. Good luck

THIS happens all the time in apps in texts and even sometimes on the home screen I turned off the accelerometer. STILL DOING IT.
I tried the figure 8 (man thats funny) no dice.

ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) is the upcoming OS for the Bioinc, but it hasn't come out OTA (Over The Air) officially yet. To date about 9 leaks have come out. .232, while not the latest (.247 is), it is the last one you change back to .905 (GB for Ginger Bread) if you need to.

It's quite easy to install, although you will be off the OTA path. That being said, there are ways to get back on.

WELL CRAP. still doing this glitch. Any other ideas anyone? I will have to do a hard reset. I currently have pictures that are on my phone how do I move them to my sd card?
I'll never understand WHY people insist on keeping pictures they don't want to lose on their phones (OR on the sd card, for that matter). Why not plug the phone into your PC, copy them to the hard drive, and burn them to a CD or DVD for safekeeping? Flash memory is notoriously unreliable, people should NOT rely on it for storage of important things.

The figure-8 is for calibrating the compass, it has nothing to do with the accelerometer. With all the sensors in these things, it's easy to get confused; though.

While I have them on my PC at home, the pictures I keep on my Bionic are for showing others, plus I collect things and need a visual reference to make sure I don't duplicate. Pictured I take are deleted after they are moved to my PC.

Oh, I was just referring to the poster who was hesitant to do a FDR because they might lose their pictures. I figure if someone is hesitant to do this because they have pics on their phone, they probably don't have them backed up.

I get it. Yes it's pretty easy to move any important stuff from the phone to the PC.

Or, in this day and age, the cloud for that matter. No excuse to rely on local device storage. Anyone who has had a USB key suddenly die on them will appreciate how fragile flash memory can be.
