HTC Magic (aka Google G2) accelerometer not working
So I got my new G2 a couple of months ago and haven’t put it down that much since. Well, last night I installed *something* (game/app) that stopped the accelerometer working. I was close to tears. Not really. But I was bloody irritated and it took a while to find out how to kick-start it again. Whilst Les watched Moulin Rouge (again), I browser forums and played. Finally found the answer in a really obscure place (OK combination of places) - the HTC website and the androidforums). Answer: factory reset. Nothing else required.

Problem solved and all working well again. It does, however, point to the fact that an app can crash the OS, which is not, imho, that good.
