========================================
ROG phone 5 without s

Warranty expired

Issue:
1) motion control can't follow all of the instructed motions anymore. I turned on this feature when first purchase 1 year go, Im find out this issue when today trying this feature again.
2) compass spinning.

My workaround:
1) factory reset is useless.
2) gyroscope testing like the pic below, it says my gyroscope error but when I try the gyroscope in CODM game the gyroscope is working properly.

3) after that I test the compass like in the pic below, the result is normal. But the compass in Google maps and dedicated compass apps from Google play store are spinning forever.

4) the compass sensors test result from the dedicated compass app from Google play store is high accuracy and well calibrated.

And the more advanced compass sensors check resulting some sensors accuracy are high while some sensors accuracy are missing (include "motion_detect" from Qualcomm in 2nd pic in below).

Please ASUS technicians try to solve this.
Warranty expired.
If I bring my phone to ASUS service center in Indonesia, 99.99% they will tell me to replace its main board meaning I have to pay its main board same as brand new product price.

Hi wija,
Can you try the solution from the post linked below? However, if that doesn't work and if a hard reset didn't fix anything, it could very well be a hardware problem with the sensors, so you would still need to take it to the service center.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yesturday I had not played game but I used my gyro in pubG today and saw the instability was gone . Idk how but from yesturday I had done these three things:-

1. Downloaded accelerometer calibrator app and calibrated my mob.

2. I installed the newly available update.

3. I typed 0.12345+= in calculator app and there I tested my gyro 3-4 times.

WELL TRY THIS AND SEE IF ANY OF U HAVE PROBLEM AND REPLY ME

Yes already went to asus service center, and they said to replace main board with price “MORE THAN” the brand new.

Already tried this before i posting this post, this was useless.
and asus service center is useless as well, they can’t service their electronics, they only can “replace” parts.
they told me to replace my main board with price “MORE THAN” the brand new price.
