Hi all, I'm a little worried as I love my Nexus 5 coming from a Desire Z but I'd say from as little as 30 mins to up to 8 hours or so I have to reset my phone as all the sensors stop working. Installing a sensor monitoring app it says the output is blank on them all.
Screen rotation, compass, maps and the barometer all stop working.
Anyone else getting this?
I don't think its hardware as a reboot fixes it for a while.
Thanks
Edit:
It also seems to have resolved itself after a while, when I installed a step counting app I checked and the sensors and they were all working again.
A bit odd...
I am having the same problem. Which step counting app did you install to keep it working?

Hi
It was an app called Moves - but it ate an absolute load of battery life so I uninstalled it rather quick, it was also pretty crap.
I have this issue very rarely now, I just wish I knew what the problem was caused by.
Have you in the past enabled the ART library?

I have not used the ART library yet.
The app I noticed the problem in is 'Reddit is Fun' but It is most likely a background app that is causing the issues.
I uninstalled a bunch of them, including Elixer and PressureNet, just to see if I continue to have the issue.
Ahh OK. I installed an app called barometer+ so I could make use of the pressure sensor. I think it has background logging as well. Perhaps it is this causing it.
I'm having the same issue. Right now I'm just restarting my phone whenever I notice it.

smalovic do you have any weather apps or pressure sensor apps (or anything like that)?
Have you tried the ART libary at all?
Thanks

I have PressureNet installed. I switched to the ART library but I'm getting the same problem.
Hi all,
Same issue here. I'm using syspressure app for background pressure logging. I switched to a every 5 mins sample rate instead of 1. Now I will try to see if it's happening again.

My Barometer+ app was set to hour updates...
I guess we can all relate to a pressure app, probably the cause...
Setting SyPressure sample rate to 5 minutes has done nothing.
After about 30 mins of standby all sensors stopped working again.
Now I have disabled the widget of SyPressure that means no background logging anymore.
I will update the status.

UPDATE:
After about 30 mins of standby all sensors still WORKING.
Now I will try to wait much more than 30 minutes
I will update!!
UPDATE 2:
After more than 1 hour, sensors still OK!
I will try overnight and check it out.
Anyway also battery perfomence seems to be better, 1 hour ago charge was at 33% and now is still alt 33%
PS. Sorry for my english
I uninstalled PressureNet yesterday and left it overnight. Everything's still working this morning!
It must be some glitch with the barometer apps.
Same problem here. I also have sypressure on my phone. I've uninstalled sypressure a day ago, and for now everything work fine
I have the same infuriating issue.
My device: Nexus 5
Build: KRT16M
Unlocked, TWRP Recovery, Root, Chainfire's SuperSU
I also have "pressureNET" app installed for logging pressure readings.
After reboot all sensors work fine. Installed app "Sensor Sense" confirms this. Then randomly at some point in time, 2 or 5 or 8 hours later most sensors stop working and it is always the same ones.
Battery, Location, Light, and Proximity all continue to work fine indefinitely.
Pressure, Accelerometer, Gravity, Gyroscope, Linear Acceleration, Rotation, and Magnetic Field all fail and no apps can make a call on these sensors as part of their function.
This is most readily and frequently apparent in (i) the "Gallery" in which rotating the screen no longer results in auto-rotation of images, (ii) orientation of recorded images and videos with "Camera" in which the capture is locked into one orientation and videos shot in landscape (for example) end up with an on-their-side portrait orientation when viewed, and (iii) YouTube videos can no longer orientate when playing and the screen is changed to a different orientation e.g. load video in portrait mode, flip horizontal, and video no change or adaptation occurs, (iv) going into a PhotoSphere results in a black screen of nothing, (v) "Compass" doesn't work, (vi) "Skymap" doesn't work, etc. etc.
Would love to see a resolution to this issue; this is the first forum or instance of discussing the problem on the Web that I have found.
Robooting the device resets everything and all sensors (and apps) work fine as normal.

Uninstall pressureNET, reboot, and you should be all set.

I confirm that "pressureNET" was the app causing the other sensors to crash.
50 hours after uninstalling and rebooting there has been no recurrence of the problem; all sensors and the handset have worked flawlessly throughout.

Reading the other replies, it seems as though any barometer app causes the issues.

Damn, I'm having the same issue intermittently. Might have to uninstall the app until they get this sorted out, which is a shame because the sample size for reading in my region is probably very small.
Looks like the pressureNET dev is working on a fix. He posted on Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1qzg0n/nexus_5_sensor_issues_whats_going_on/

I don't know a huge amount about photography but I'm curious as to why the new camera crashes when in HDR+ mode when one tries to zoom in on a subject. It does it every single time. Why would zoom even be an option if it's not possible to zoom in HDR+ mode.

Hold camera app, and detail info (app info) clear data first.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean.
I was saying if one uses pinch to zoom to zoom into a subject then take the picture with HDR turned on that it just dies.
I did delete the cache for the stock camera app thinking some old setting was messing with it but that did nothing.
Mine zooms in and takes a picture without crashing, while in HDR mode

That's why he said CLEAR DATA on the camera app. Clear Data and Clear Cache are different.

Sorry, I've never "held an app" so I didn't get it at first. My bad. A 12 hour work day makes me a bit punchy. :laugh:
It appears to work now. Not sure what was causing it to crap itself. *shrug*
Thanks..
Not sure if its just me or if anyone else is experiencing this issue
As you can watch this video, it takes forever for the camera to take pic and then processing it..
If I close the camera app before it thumbnail goes to the top right corner, it seems to just delete itself..
BTW, Im on CM11s rom, running franco kernel, in case anyone wants to know...
Thanks for any help..
You're using HDR mode that complies multiple exposure settings to get you the best pic. It's always slower than non HDR mode.
That looks horrible.
HDR mode on my nexus 4 works a lot faster.

First pic was in auto mode.. you can see after I focused on the car, I hit the shutter button... 3 secs later, sound and then another 7 secs later the pic gets taken.. I then swiped to the different scene modes
but regardless which scene mode, does the same thing... really annoying.. tried uninstalling and reinstalling many times but same thing...
not sure if theres a similar topic, but Ive noticed an issue with saving photos after they are taken, it takes couple minutes or more for them to show in gallery.
if I take a photo, and go out of the camera app and enter gallery, the most recent photos wont show.
But if I go back to camera app and swipe right, it will show them there.. wth?!
Try downloading the latest version from play.

Does anyone else have issues with the camera consistently auto focusing when recording video? It makes this constant clicking noise when recording. It's really bad on Snapchat. It doesn't even record for the full ten seconds or whatever... This seems to happen on every CM ROM that I have ever used...Is it just me, or does it happen to others?
I'm on Temasek 5.9

I have exact issue, in snap and in stock camera. I am on stock room.

This happened to me when I went to my daughters Christmas Play and recorded it at the time I didn't know but when I got home and watched the video I seen that the video was ruined from it auto focusing so much
So I started digging around in the settings of both the camera and video recorder to see if I could fix it I only had to change 2 settings to get it to work right
1st I went into camera settings and changed Focus Mode mine was set to Continuous by default so I changed it to Auto
2nd I went into video settings and in there is a setting for Video stabilization it was unchecked so I checked it and that's it
Now all my videos are great try these settings out and see if they work for you I hope they do because they worked for me
hey guys, I encountered some strange problem tonight..
but I want to record 4k video and I swipe then open the app but voila..!! it just showing a black blank screen with no button or any interface.. just like freeze app..
other app like panorama, audio photo, picture effect is normal, video recording using normal camera and slowmo is normal too..
I dont know when it started to happen but first time I receive this phone, 4k run without problem..
any idea how to fix this? please help..
Its the same in safe mode
Have you restarted your device and cleared data from the problem apps? That may help.
I did both clear data on camera and restart and still not work..
ps: finally I did factory reset, and it works.. TT_TT
I was happy to buy xz premium . I recorded about 4 min of 4k video and I can not see it. The phone says "can not play video" I tried video, album or google drive and nothing. Now, I am so disappointed with this phone.
