Hello sorry you are having this issue. Just be clear there is no gravity sensor on your iPhone. There is however an Accelerometer/Compass. This chip can fail from a bad fall. Since you only got your iPhone a month ago take it back and get a replacement.

It might as well be a refurbished water damaged phone..ultrasonic machine is merciless with compass. The joys of buying from big online cheap refurbishers..they'll say the phone got dropped ;)

Yeah I know what you mean. It can be fixed though with a good local repair shop that does SMD soldering. Just FYI.

If there is no gravity sensor, then how is turning the phone side ways accommodated with a turn to a long horizontal screen?
