Please help.
My phone seems to be miscalibrated or unbalanced and I cannot find any settings to fix this. This happened after last update. I tried the orientation setting so it auto changes from vertical to horizontal. However, that screwed up my games! I disabled the orientation but it stayed like that. My phone is all miscalibrated.

Here are some games affected

- World attack: when holding phone straight, the jumping cow goes to the left. I have to turn phone about 30 degrees to the right to keep it straight and tilt phone about 70 degrees to make it jump to the right. Highly annoying! I go to game settings and go to calibrate game, however I calibrate and settings go to zero but nothing happens. I go back to calibrate settings and again it is. -60 off.

- Labyrinth lite: the ball goes crazy. Like of my phone was standing vertical on one side. I go into calibrate and save, but game is still way off. My tilting is waaaay miscalibrated!

- Fishin 2 go: the arrow to cast the fish line goes to the left while holding phone straight. I have to turn/tilt phone about 70 degrees to the right to make arrow go right slightly.

So what can I do? What happened to my phone???
Has anyone had problems with the calibration or with the tilting feature in games? This happened after latest updates after I tried the orientation setting.

PLEASE HELP!!!

If this only effects the games and not other apps then I'm afraid you may have to either remove the game (could be that they're not compatible with the latest update (what was that?) or try uninstalling and reinstalling them.

Thanx 4 the reply.
I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the games and no go.
What other apps do you know of that I can try this tilting thing. I dont know if its just games but dont know what other applications I might test this on.


What apps do you know of can I test this on?
What else can be causing this?

Thanx.

Analogue compass or skymap would be my top two.

When you calibrate the sensor for the games, do you place the phone flat on a table or hold it?
