[Q] issues with sensors - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am on stock .157 not rooted. have no issues on the phone, but after maybe 2-3 days of usage, sensors wouldn't work (accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity). the screen wont turn off during calls , auto rotation wont work. Also in service tests, (*#*#service#*#*) all the values would be blank.
A restart will always fix these but I am still worried if this is a software issue. Any one else facing this issue ?

Try reflashing your FTF and see if it gets fixed. But before doing this, take it to Sony before more disappointment if its under warranty.

Then reflash your FTF, there are a lot of different FTFs on XDA.

@ sruba209
Tried doing that, but it gets solved temporary. The sensors don't show after some time.

I have this exact problem not sure which ftf would be my original bought from carphone warehouse

Did you solve this issue???
Did Any one found the solution for the problem yet??

I think I found a solution ... @ebro52
This problem only occurs when I leave the auto rotate off.
For the past few days I have kept the auto rotate on and didn't encounter any issue. After I disabled auto rotate, about 6 hrs later , all sensors stopped working.....

Still the issue is not solved??
I still have the problem. Tried keeping auto rotate on as well. So now moving to a custom rom mostly cm12 or based on it. Wil let you'll know if problem persist.

Ive had the problem on all roms have to reboot to get them working again and all sensors stop at the same time
Is there anyway to get a log and see what stops working and when?

My sensors do not work on reboot as well. They stop and start on there on. I am using sony stock right now. I will root the phone and see if I can have a log. Mean while has any one found a issue Please post.

Slimkat didn't fix my problem at all. Seems the reason of the problem is different for us. Btw is there any app that can reset or recalibrate the sensors?! Is this theory right that the lcd I replaced is none original and caused this problem and replacing an original one will solve the problem?!

Does anyone know where the sensor's are located the only one I've found is on headphone jack

USB or wifi nothing matters, It just doesn't share the internet... Maybe a firmware problem but Sony is still sleeping...No update or anything to make it work...

Is it just in the Camera App or on every app you try to open (ex. skype)?
Also if possible try to post a screenshot with the problem.

Here u go
Really strange, I don't believe it's a hardware problem. Try this : on the dialpad type this *#*#7378423#*#* . This opens the service menu in xperia phones. Just go to service test and test the secondary camera. If it works then you should do a factory reset, maybe you messed up something in the system...
It saying this device does not support this function.

I hope it's not a hardware problem. To eliminate the possibility of a software related problem i suggest to flash a .ftf with the Flashtool.
If the problem still persist then its probably hardware related.
It's not that difficult to change the front facing camera in XZ (I have done it my self changing the motherboard - and the cameras are just below that) but that that would compromise the Water-resistance of the phone plus things could go really bad.

It is really weird, if it would be a hardware problem, the camera would show up as a option to activate but it world either crash or not show any image at all (like black screen).
At this point I don't know what to say. Try send it to a repair shop, there seems to be no other alternatives.
hey bro i have the same front cam problem with my phone,i dont know how to do .ftf with the flash tool.can you please guide me?
i'll be really thankfull.

This thread is exclusive for Xperia z, if you have any question for your c5 please write in the right section. However flashing a firmware for Sony devices is almost identical for every device, so you can find them in the sticky posts on the cross-device threads.

No WiFi Networks listed

My P8 Lite doesn't show any WiFi Networks anymore and also Bluetooth can't find anything.
I tried nearly every WiFi Fixer app from the google play store and also every available firmware.
Any Ideas?
I have the same problem, I'll add that factory reset didnt solve anything. The whole thing started abiut a month after purchase
Ok. So I'm not the only one.
Have you found a solution for that?

Nope, I think of sending it to warranty after xmas. Looks like a hardware problem
Any updates on the issue? My phone suddenly can't find wi-fi networks either.

Flaahing any (including stock) firmware should fix it. I had the same issue with my Samsung tablet when after installing stock firmware. TWRP restore fixed it

For me that's don't work, I'll try new software and factory reset with no results only warranty sent helps [emoji12].

Your WiFi antenna is broken. Either get a new one, or get a new phone. No WiFi for you anymore.

Stuck in Headphone mode after updating to 4.4.4

Hey,

I tried cleaning it and everything but nothing worked so far...
Hope someone can help me out
Edit: It works normally on firmware 10.4.B.0.569, but everything above that doesnt work
Help would be highly appreciated since I just got this phone
