(I don't know whether this is the right section to post or not because I am new here)
I have bought a android smartphone a few months ago. Its name is Aqua Wonder and its vendor is Intex. It is made in China and it runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. All the sensors in this phone is working fine except the magnetic or compass sensor. I have tried a app called Android Sensor Box to view the available sensors in my phone and it said that I have Magnetic Sensor but when I opened it, it is stuck at 0 microTesla. I have also tried other apps but still the same problem. I am very sad about it . Please someone help me! It is frozen at 0 microTesla. Please don't suggest me to root my device or to try any risky harmful things.
My phone's magnetic sensor's name is AKM8975 3-axis magnetic field sensor and its vendor is Aichi Steel.
I have seen that many problems are solved in XDA-Developers, that's why I registered here to ask for help. Please don't disappoint me!

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

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 haven't explicitly tested my Pixel 4a, however, on my previous devices, the proximity sensor is basically an On/Off switch. As such, it may read either 5cm or 0cm depending how close you are to the actual sensor. i.e. your device may be OK.

I tried android 10
It also did not work
It only reads 5.0 even when I cover the sensor area.
The problem is that I am from Iraq and we do not have any sale guarantee
It's a big disappointment for me

I dont think it should matter whuich cutry you are from, because it is a manufacturer warranty. not a point of sale warranty.
The Device has support built into the rom in Settings>Tips & Support and then select "Contact Us" I was shocked how helpful they try to be, and it was clearly not based in my country. I complained about some tiny bug and they wanted to commence the process to replace my device (which would not of helped as it was software)
you did not understand what I mean..
