Hi. I bought a second hand Nexus S on internet but the sensors seem broken.
Gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetic sensor do not report data.
I haven't solved after several wipe and a lot of rom. Is it an hardware problem? rolleyes
The seller says that is a software problem

I'm having problems with these sensors. They work if I restart the device, but stop working about an hour later. The screen won't rotate, compass and leveling apps won't work, Maps won't show the direction the phone is facing, etc. The phone is completely stock, I haven't even unlocked the bootloader.
I downloaded an app called Phone Tester, it just shows "Waiting for Data" under Gyroscope, Compass, and Pressure Sensor. It is blank under Accelerometer and Magnetic Field Sensor. These all show data if I restart my phone, but eventually the sensors stop working. I don't know if this is a hardware, firmware, or software issue.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I haven't seen this problem mentioned anywhere else, so I suspect I might have a faulty unit. Any advice?
same here... contacted google, they told me to facotry reset, done that... did not help at all
though for me the accelerometer works for a long period of time, even days until it suddenly stops, all are then gone, accelerometer, barometer and gyro/compass
Do you have any barometer apps installed? Once I uninstalled the one I was using, everything worked fine.

I sent mine back for a bad accelerometer. It wouldn't auto rotate.

Hello everyone,
I bought some days ago a second hand galaxy S6 (G920F), I checked if everything was working and then updated to official Marshmallow, installed TWRP 3.0, and finally moved to a custom ROM (Pure Stock ExtraLite Rom 4.1).
The problem is that I figured out I had a lot of sensors that were not working anymore like light sensor, gyroscope sensor (so also accelerometer etc...), the heart rate sensor seems only partially working, I didn't try the proximity sensor yet. Here is a screen of the sensor page after a *#0*#:
I already tried to clear cache, wipe everything with clean install, flash back official MM rom, tried to make a calibration using GPS status and toolbox (which shows there is a problem with almost every sensor), but absolutely nothing worked.
Right now I am out of clues and I need your help !
Thank you!
So were the sensors working when you got the device?
My S6 Edge had the same issue - all sensors would stop working (and the IR blaster) for a few days/weeks and then eventually they would work for a while again. In the end though, they stopped working completely. I also tried absolutely everything software related first but it turned out to be a fault with the mainboard. I sent it to Samsung who claimed it was caused by liquid damage and refused to repair it (I'm almost certain it wasn't liquid damage because I haven't got it wet) so ended up claiming on my insurance.
Sadly I didn't take the time to check the sensors before upgrading, so I have absolutely no idea about the sensors before I updated the system...
I saw some people talking about this kind of problems being liquid damage related, but I have no idea what happened to the phone before I got it...).
I hope I will be luckier than you were !
my sensors were working fine in 5.0 and then i officially upgrade my s6 to 6.0.1 and eventually all sensors died.
i make a factory reset and everything fine now
I have the model with gyroscope, but from one moment to another it started to go crazy. That's why I need to calibrate it.
I have the same issue:

Hello. I am experiencing problems with the following sensors:
Light Sensor
Ear Proximity
Accelerometer
Gyroscope
I've done a software repair and a factory reset. It did not solve the issue. I think it may be a hardware issue. My warranty expired two months ago and Sony will not repair it. Has anyone experienced this problem?
Thank You.
