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.

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
Hi all
I hope someone can help me solve an issue. I've had a gear s2 for a couple weeks and am pretty happy with it on the device side.
The problem is that when it is bt connected to my Motor X Pure my phone seems to ignore the proximity sensor when I am on a call. The result is that when I raise my phone to my ear the screen doesn't shut off and I end up with all kinds of phantom button pushes from my ear.
I have tested the sensor and it is working when this happens. Moreover when I disconnect from my s2 from my phone the screen shuts off as expected when I raise my phone to my ear.
Has anybody else experienced this issue and does anybody have a fix?
Further, my watch is a t-mobile 3g variant and has not been activated. Would activating it potentially change znything? Finally, my phone is unrooted as I like android pay. But I am willing to root if there is a way of fixing this.
Thanks

I just purchased new Honor 6x from Amazon in India. I tried watching VR videos today with Aura VR headset. The video was constantly shaking. I did not see such issue with my earlier Honor 6 (no x..). I tried to calibrate the gyroscope using a few apps I could find in the playstore but nothing helped. This is a great phone but gyroscope is really messed up. I tried using Bubble Level and the reading continously fluctuates on a flat surface from 0.2 to 0.6 on both axis.
Is there a way to fix this issue?

Ignore this text ...
Ok. Received the replacement phone and it has the same issue.
After talking to Huawei Tech Support, I did, firmware upgrade (though I had the upgraded version already) and factory reset. Nothing seems to be working and my phone still feels earthquake on a flat stable surface.
Is there any non-rooting way to fix this issue? I am being asked by Huawei to take my one-day-old phone to service center...
Went to Service center. They did software reset but no help. They wanted to keep the phone to do hardware testing and I denied - didn't want to have a one-day-old phone opened and played with. I returned the handset. Issue still exists.
Ur phone is not defective
It is rhe problem with all honor 6x devices and not just urs maybe it will be fixed in updates.. Just to let u know Ur device is not defective sadly gyroscope is like that in all 6x
All the Honor 6x's have the same problem because huawei decided to cheap out and use the accelerometers as a virtual gyro. It sucks but i dont use gyro that much, no big deal for me.
Hi there!
First off: I used the search, but am not confident I haven't overlooked something.
If so I'm sorry!
I have a google pixel with lineage-for-microg, whose battery I had replaced some months ago.
Afterwards I wanted to reflash stock android to start afresh and then reflash lineage.
I'm back on lineage 17 (derived from Android10) and have the following problem:
During calls the microphone in speaker mode doesn't work at all, meaning, the person on the other side doesn't here a thing.
The same happens for speaker calls in other apps.
What still works, is audio in videos I take with the camera.
Also the ambient light sensor seems to have stopped working as the automatic luminosity doesn't work and I have to set the light by hand.
And then the proximity sensor during calls doesn't work.
I'd like to fix these and therefore I would like to find out, whether it is more probably a software or a hardware problem.
I found on this forum that it may have to do with the persist.img, that may have been corrupted by twrp.
Unfortunately I don't know where to get a hopefully working persist.img to try that out.
Things that are maybe relevant are these:
1. The battery was changed, so maybe the engineer doing that broke something
2. During reinstallation of lineage17 I had some problem with twrp not working. Afterwards using lineage recovery worked for installing lineage, but I'm not sure, twrp might have broken something.
3. The same issue also is there on stock android 10.
Can anyone point me in some direction?
I realized that the easiest check for software/hardware distinction would be to just flash a new persist.img.
Is anybody out there, that has a pixel sailfish device with working android 10 that would drop me a message? I should be able to just transplant your persist.img to my pixel sailfish.
I would greatly appreciate it!
Edit: Sorry, I misread your post. You're having microphone issues and not speaker issues. Don't have much advice.
In my experience the proximity sensor and ambient light sensor on Pixel XL's never fail. I've repaired dozens and never seen it.

Nonetheless, thanks for your time!
If I may ask for even more of it:
Not sure, whether Pixel XL and Pixel are similar when it comes to their hardware ( I have a Pixel, not a Pixel XL), but if you have repaired many of them, do you think it is at all possible, that the hardware shop that changed my battery somehow broke these sensors or forgot to reattach a cable to them?
I don't plan to hold them accountable, as I really like them, just would like to have a hint, whether going to the hassle of bringing my phone there and thus not having it for a few days has a reasonable chance of success.
