(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!

I was wounding if someone here could tell why Proximity sensor only works at night?
Thanks in advance
no answer

Has no one ever seen this?
Kernel settings probably or sensor problem.
But you better try another compatible with your ROM kernel or search how to edit it's settings.

I used several different roms and this is always the case.
The proximity and light sensor are different. The intensity sensor sure has more sensitivity at night, but the proximity sensor has its own IR. It will work just well in both day and night.
If you have this problem on all ROMs, you might have a hardware issue. Try updating your firmware.
Happy to help.

I'm running 3.33 firmware and this happens on all roms, not sure why but light and proximity stop working at same time and they both start working when room is dark.
SO, I have rooted my device, installed xposed and virtual sensors and then reboot it but it still shows false gyroscope. why?

Hi, what is your smartphone ?
We need more some informations to resolve your issue
I think this is a china phone? Qnet cyrus.

Ok i think cause your Qnet Cyrus had Accelerometer and not gyroscope
It's not the same thing,
An accelerometer is used to measure a linear speed variation.(speed when you drive in car)
A gyroscope can measure a variation of angle.
In some cases an accelerometer can measure the inclination but this is due to the fact that with two remote linear accelerometers, one can calculate an angular acceleration....
Your Qnet Cyrus had an accelerometer but only for measure a linear speed variation.

you must have both accelerometer and magnetic field sensor in order for the xposed app to work, if one of them isn't available, then the xposed app isn't going to work.

ahh, so I still need a magnetic sensor to work,okay
how can I get a magnetic sensor? or can't I?

Idk if your phone have it, but if it doesn't built in your device, then there's no chance for the app to work, variety of devices have different sensor built in with them, you can't install it by yourself because a device have specific types of board and component, if they aren't match, then there's no way it working, if you want gyroscope so badly.as an advice, why don't you buy a device that have gyroscope built in instead of searching a device that have magnetic field sensor?gyroscope sensor are more efficient instead of using software that provide same functionality.

For your post >>>>>>>> go read the fourth post when i ask you your smartphone's brand
You haven't in your smartphone so . . . . .
If you don't have the physical tool you can't virtually emulate with an app the action that is induced by the physical tool

During phone conversation
Light is not extinguishing
Is this sensor malfunction test code?
Or this is a hardware problem
How do i understand that
Please help me in this regard
P8max DAV-701L/B203
