I'm developing an application that samples the accelerometer, magnetic field, and gyroscope sensors as fast as possible via the SensorManager listeners running in Android 2.3.1 on a Nexus S. Typically, the sample rate is awesome (I'm still having some difficulty adjusting to the idea that a Java VM runs this fast): about 32 Hz for the accelerometer and the magnetic field sensors, and about 800 Hz for the gyroscope. However twice in the last few weeks, the accelerometer and magnetic field sensor sample rate has dropped down to 7 or 8 Hz and stayed there. I tried uninstalling/installing the application. I tried looking for some greedy services (I didn't find any). I tried putting the device in airplane mode. None of these attempts revived the sampling rate. Fortunately, momentarily removing the battery fixed the problem both times.
I haven't been able to reproduce the problem at will.
