Help Gyroscope?

[excav8ter]

Good morning everyone. Last night, while trying to view a few websites, i noticed that my screen will not rotate when i turn my phone sideways. I did hit *#0*# and did test the sensors, the gyroscope failed. Crap. Is the gyroscope replaceable? Is it worth doing? Or do i live with it until the S7 comes out, which i was planning on getting anyway.

Thanks.

Restart your phone in Safe Mode and check your screen rotation.

I gave that a try per your advice, gyroscope still fails the test.

Looks like it is a Samsung repair time I am afraid. If you live in Europe, there is a 2 year warranty on Samsung phones.

What's the warranty in Michigan?

I may swing by the Sprint Corporate store tonight and see what is involved. Good thing the S7 is coming. ..

To save money and increase profits, the U.S. carriers only offer a 12 month warranty.

Some people have found that a sudden jolt has started it working again. Phil

I gave it a couple of good whacks, but nothing has changed yet. The Sprint Corporate store said they can easily fix it for about $75-$100. I may just go that route. But I'll probably wait until the S7 comes out first.
