Hello,
I have tried using SailFish OS on my device but switched back to Android but right now a lot of sensors are not working anymore.
Tried serveral things like flashing the sony rom with Emma and after booting into android, locking the bootloader againt and update it all the way.
Things that do work: fingerprint, gps, data, wifi.
Is this a hardware defect somehow?
Thanks in advance.

After using the flashtool to update my z3c the sensors are not working. These include ambient light sensor, gyroscope and some others. Is it possible for an update like this to break the sensors or is it more likely a hardware issue?
unlikely..
my guess is you had a hw issue and you happened to notice after flashing.
if you flash another ftf, by wiping everything, and it is still not working, just take it to the service. or even better, try a restore with pc companion before going to sony.
Recently I noticed that, while on call, my phones screen not turning off and on, my screen does'nt adjust the brightness levels automatically, my camera app is so slow to start, so I downloaded sensor apps to check sensors, i was shocked to see, none of the sensors are working in that app. Things like gyroscope, gravity, magnet, light, proximity. Nothing is reflected in the app.. What is happening? And how do i get them to be working?
i was running pure nexus rom, then i flashed beanstalk, but failed to install as phone goes in bootloop, so i flashed back pure nexus and realised, none of the sensor is working, i tried everything...flashed to stock several times, but failed to get sensors work again.
anyone else getting the same problem ?
Please guys help me out to get my phones sensors to work again.
Did you use only one app or several? It may be an issue with kernel, maybe a clean flash can solve problem?(if you did not already)
Btw i checked "sensor test" app and it seems everything is working with brand and model name is sensors. I have stock ROM(marshmallow) with hellscore kernel.
Clean flash another ROM. If that doesn't work, backup your data and fastboot flash a factory image to return to absolute bone stock. If it's still not working it's a hardware issue and hopefully you can RMA if within the warranty period.
I gave my nexus 6 to moto service.... They saying.... Display n touch need to replace in order to work sensors..... I can't understand how display n touch linked with sensors....????

I have Note8. It has a very strange sensors error, as below:
- All sensors, from proximity sensor, light sensor, to GPS, iris scanner, and all the other sensors do not work at all.
- In the app like Phone INFO Samsung, CPU-Z or AIDA64, in the Sensors section, all sensors do not work.
- The Auto Brightness function does not work (due to the light sensor), the brightness of the AOD screen is also not adjustable.
- When making a phone call and move the phone close to the ear, the screen does not turn off due to proximity sensor.
- Auto Rotation function is not working (due to rotation sensor).
- Google Maps shows inaccurate location. Other apps that rely on GPS (such as the speedometer app) are completely not working.
- The iris scanner function does not work either.
It was about two weeks ago. I've Wiped the cache, restart the phone but does not make sense.
Yesterday it suddenly returned to normal, I don't know why.
But today - while I'm typing this post - all sensors suddenly do not work again.
Any idea about the error and how to fix it?
Thank you guys
Best advice I can think of is to factory reset and see if that alleviates the problem.
If you did not do anything firmware-related, or you did not drop or submeged your device, the best you can do is to make a warranty claim, pure and simple, if you have no way to make such claim, well, next time you should consider getting a device from an official source
I've read other users have had same problem. Ones I read said it was motherboard issue had to have sammy replace it.
Thank you guys
There is also built-in sensor test. Open dialer and dial *#0*#
I noticed a problem when I was playing Asphalt (racing game on me Note 8). I am unable to use the Tilt controls to move the scar.
Testing out the Sensors using *#0*# at the dialer revealed that all the SENSORS was faulty.
I reset the whole phone just now. The issue is still there with the sensor. As expected Auto rotation doesn't work.
Running the latest version 8.0.
I recently changed my motherboard (under warranty) 3 months back cos something was faulty. Seems it may be another motherboard issue.
Anyone else in this thread solved the issue?
Hey everyone I'm facing the same problem. All sensors stoped working but they were working before on 7.1.1 and i updated my device to oreo and realized all sensors stoped
Then i got another updated for about 900mb i thought maybe this update will fix them and also that update said tha after updating the user cannot downgrade to nougat but after updating the problem still exsist. Please if anyone can help i also try to flash same oreo firmware with odin but doesn't fixed the sensors
Hello i have issue with Le2 x522.
Phone seems to have wrong working sensors.
For now its LSM6DS3 - Its accelerometer and gyroscope
In accelerometer menu X axis seems to be reversed so when i rotate phone on one side screen gets rotated in oposite.
Also orientation sensor looks pretty off.
I have tried google maps trick, also tired MIUI9 diagnostic menu calibration but it didn't work(punched phone few times in area of camera too).
Ended up with reflashing SmallEUI by Auriel(stock kernel) and still its not working.
Any ideas how to solve that issue?

I'm not sure about this method:
in miui 9 thread for le 2 by sagarmakhar, in the 2nd post, it was about volte, but involved a thing about sensors. according to him, wipe persist from his recovery, then flash stock rom and then copy the 'sensors-settings' into /persist/sensors/ (I don't remember the folder now, please refer to that post) and reboot....May work, i don't think that it can brick your device but try at your own risk:fingers-crossed: Good luck
I compiled and installed AOSP (Android Pie) from Sonys Open Devices page and it's running pretty well except for the following:
-) "Secure Startup" Option is broken - It kinda works but when you type in an incorrect PIN code the phone tells me that the code I entered was correct but that my data is corrupt and that I need to reset my phone. After a few restart attempts it then proceeds to work. Anyhow not working well and one little wrong click and the phone does a factory reset.
-) Fingerprint sensor - Works 90% of the time however if you "provoke" the phone by using a non-registered fingerprint a couple of times, turning the phone off and on, etc... Cannot say exactly what causes it - The phone reboots. Now this is not so bad, except that natural phone usage causes this once or twice a day - Random reboots through the fingerprint sensor. If I have no fingerprint registered the phone never reboots and all is good. So something is amiss here.
-) Bluetooth tends to fail somehow - It works and then after some random time people cannot understand me when I'm talking to them on the phone via my bluetooth headset
I've tested this with older pre-compiled version of AOSP Pie and the issues are the same. The issues are also present for the F8131 an F8132 model of this phone.
I'm really trying hard to fall in love with my Xperia X Performance but it's quite a struggle. The stock ROM does not allow RAW capture, hence I cannot install any version of GCAM that works. The Sony camera app produces mediocre pictures. Also the torch is very dim. Two things that really annoy me.
AOSP seems promising except for the issues listed above. Did anyone experience the same issues and possibly find a fix? If yes, please share. That would be awesome.
Thanks!
