Help Accelerometer stops responding

I'm experiencing an intermittent issue with my ZTE Avid 4G whereas the accelerometer stops responding, which is breaking the auto-rotate screen function. I've updated Android with the latest from ZTE's website, which did not help. Using an app to attempt to recalibrate the accelerometer doesn't help either. I've noticed it seems to happen whenever the screen locks while a video is being played in fullscreen. Restarting the phone resumes normal operation of the accelerometer.

Has anybody else had this issue?
 
Yes, I had that problem... the only solution was to replace the phone for a new one of the same model in a metro store, better if it is a corporative store...
 
UPDATE (2013-07-09): This seems to be a manufacturer defect. I tried the calibration fix and it worked for a while but as my phone got older the problem got worse.

The phone has a 12 month warranty against manufacturer defects. I would suggest returning the phone to the store you bought it from before the 12 months wears out.
