So randomly the other day my g-sensor and light sensor decided to stop working. I've tried installing several different ROMS with and without clemsyn's kernel and today flashed the ruu but they still don't work. I haven't dropped or damaged the thing at all. I'm hoping someone has an inkling on what to do. Please help!

Hi,
I've tried out some custom roms over the last few weeks and i noticed some days ago that my screen won't turn off when answering a call and holding it at my ear.
First i thought it was a miui bug, but same thing on different sense roms...
Then i noticed that automatic brightness is not working as well...
Sounds like a hardware bug, but my device didn't fall down or anything like that.
Could there be a solution to fix this?
Thanks!

Do you have a screen protector on? if yes, then it could be covering the sensor (which is on the left hand side of phone in line with the LED), I suggest that you cut a small hole in it, this helps....as I've read before.
thanks, but i don't have a screen protector...
could it be related with the new radio i flashed? (20.44.30.0821U_3821.08.00.24_M)
i don't know exactly, but the problem problably occured since i flashed radio.
tried different kernels and roms, so radio is the only solution left?
reflash? downgrade?
Got simmilar issue. Was trying different things to solve it. At end just sent in to HTC. Sensor was buggy and got replaced.
Just take it to HTC.
i sent it to htc yesterday, thanks.
hope they don't mind that i rooted and stuff, i flashed stock and put my device s-on again, so maybe they won't find out
Hello all.
I have an sensation. 5 months ago it fell. Screen was cracked. Some shop repaired it for me back then. Since then I have been getting more and more touchscreen issues. Sometimes it doesn't even respond at all. What I will have to do then is put screen on sleep again and activate it again. I have been trying different ROMs and kernels so I have a feeling it isn't the software.
Yesterday I went back to the shop and he blamed it on the different ROM. So I'm now installing my old 2.3.3 backup. He said that with 2.3.3 my screen would work again. However, I don't believe him. I think he just messed up my digitizer.
Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this issue?
UPDATE #1:
Installing my old backup didnt even work. It hung on the white startup screen.
Please someone help me!
me too. having screen problems after changing digitizer.
changing the digitizer on this device is a major catastrophe...
Hey XDA..
So all of the sudden I've run into this problem where my touch capacitive Menu and Back buttons stopped working A week ago I noticed that they suddenly became less responsive, and two days after, they stopped responding at all. At this point I reflashed my kernel (Faux123), and it seemed to be running just fine again.. but only for a day. I've had Faux Kernel for about a month running smoothly with no problems, but now the two buttons seems to be kinda dead.. I superwiped and flashed ARHD (had Hypernonsense) because I thought that it would make it totally clean but after seeing that the buttons didn't even work in Recovery, I realized that the problem is more serious..
I managed to make them respond a few times probably yesterday but otherwise not at all... Are they really dead as a hardware failure or have I missed something ? Whats wrong with it?. Any suggestions?
I am running firmware 3.33 - Had Hypernonsense and Faux123 Kernel (Yank packed) when problem occurred..
Thanks..
I really don't know if this is a right place or not but i want to mention it here, this started when i accidentally leave my phone at heavy rain. It stopped working for 2-3 days and when it started i found total loss over touch, i replaced it and then it was working fine except... its proximity and other sensors are not working and it take almost 5 min to turn on, i though it may be hardware issue, but than after some days it reboots normally and everything was working again except proximity, it remains this good for a while even doesn't get affected by reboots but then again everything was gone, after that day it happens for few times, i didn't recognise what made it go smoothly and than what made it worst again, help me with thar pls.... I also see color stripes for a while clicking on cancel in download mod....i'd installed stock rom more than 2 times and now on CM14.1 help me.....

Greetings and welcome to assist. If returning to stock doesn't work then it must be a hardware issue I'm afraid and there is little we can do to help with that. Really hope you manage to fix it
Good luck

Thank you very much for your help, now at least i know what I'm dealing with....... I'm expecting that my service provider will help me with this, thanks again
Well, I'm facing this issue since long time. My proximity sensor stops working after 5 minutes of turning on the phone. That is screen doesn't turns off while calling. I need to press power Button in order to turn off the display.
I tried most of the famous ROMs but all have this issue, but the cataclysm. With this ROM, issue happened but only once in a month or so. I used it since last 12 months or so. It should be noted that I have checked and verified that it's not an hardware's issue. Because it stops working exactly after 5-6 minutes.
After some research, I found that this can be related to radio files. Radio files means kernel? Not sure. I tried to find out but unable to identify which one to install. I'm using lineage is 14.1 for nexus 5. Can somebody please suggest me which version should be installed?
Does this happen on a stock ROM?
i have the same issue as OP said, and i think it's not hardware related problem. but i haven't tried going back to stock ROM atm
I know the proximity sensor has failed on a couple of phones I repaired after they were knocked, dropped, or had a screen replacement.
If it still does it on a completely unrooted stock ROM, I think it would be a hardware issue.
but the weird thing is the sensor is working fine after reboot and a couple of minutes afterwards. and then i lock the phone and put my phone, then i unlock my phone again it's not working anymore. could that be hardware issue or maybe battery issue? i have old battery and i think it needs a replacement
also i read this https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/sensors-fix-nexus-5-t2704915 and try the method and still not working
Does this happen on a stock ROM too? If it does, this leads me to conclude it is a hardware issue.
I have run custom ROMs on phones and the ROMs may work fine from a few minutes to a few days. Suddenly, things start to lock up or stop working and a reboot fixes the issues until a short time later.

Yes. Any ROM including stock ROM. The only ROM with which sensor works as expected is cataclysm. It works totally fine with this which means there’s no hardware issue.
