Since yesterday my phone's compass, gyroscope and accelerometer stopped working. That means that if I tilt my phone, it won't rotate the screen, and stuff like that. Rotate Screen option is ON, of course. On the GPS STATUS app, Pitch and Roll information are always zero and the compass' north is always pointing to the top of the device, it doesn't move.
Does anyone have any idea about this?
I bought it in amazon.com while I was in the US and brought it to Brazil. When I called Samsung-Brazil, they told they couldn't help as it was bought in the US. Then I called Samsung-US and they told me this model is not available in the US, so they can't help me. That's unbelievable.

You've tried the obvious right? A Factory reset.
Have you dialed *#0*# on your keypad and checked them in the sensor screen?

Yes, I did a factory reset, it didn't work.
Yes, I dialed *#0*# and on Sensors, Accelerometer, Proximity, Barometer, Gyroscope and Magnetic Sensor are not working! On every aspect, it says '0' (zero). Only temp-humid and lights sensor are working.
I updated it a few days ago.. could this update be responsible for this?

Could be yes.
I would use Odin to re-flash the firmware and hopefully that might sort it out.
Now the light sensor and thermohumid stopped working. Damn, what's going on? =/

Thanks for the reply. Unfortenately, it didn't work.
Now, my last hope is to flash it's original rom, I9505ZHUAMDE. If it doesn't work, then I'll have to go for technical support and pay for it.
Same problem
I also have this problem and I am on stock, unrooted MEA firmware I tried clearing the cache in stock recovery and it worked for a few hours but the sensors died again. I sent my phone back to the carrier for repair. Just sharing
I`m having the same problem here...
Has someone fixed this?
Flash diferent roms doesn`t work at all...
And I don`t want to pay for tech service. And I think it wasn`t the flashing that caused this...
Same problems occurs to my S4... and some others.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2362773&highlight=sensors
Tried flashing different ROMs, wiped data, cache and dalvik cache, tried rizanx way of fixing the problem - nothing helped
Has anyone resolved the bug/problem? Is somebody sure, that it is a software instead of a hardware problem?
Today all my sensors stopped working. Anyone solve the problem or do I have to send my galaxy for repair?
sensors working
Same problem but all my sensors show pass via *#0*# sensor checks. Tried nordic i9505 I9505XXUFNB9_I9505NEEFNB2_I9505XXUFNB9_HOME.tar 4.4.2, then SIngapore I9505XXUFNBE_I9505OLBFNB3_I9505XXUFNBE_HOME.tar 4.4.2. Screen rotation all fine when I flash firmware, root, then add flas CWM touch - everything good. Screen rotate works until the first reboot after all of this which might even be a day or 2 later. As soon as reboot phone, screen rotation dies and it is a huge pain in the arse. Sensors continue toi say pass via *#0*#. Every few days i have to re-flash firmware, re-root, then re-CWM touch, no need to factory reset just those 3 steps. Has anyone got any solutions for this yet?? :

If you want to work out whether it's a software issue or a hardware issue and you are not savy modifying or working within android the best way to work it out is to flash a stock unmodified rom from your phone provider through Odin 3.04. A word of caution - If you have updated to a bootloader and modem that is not currently supported by your phone provider (sometimes they are slow to update their version of the roms) then you will need to find a stock version of a Kit Kat rom in the forum.
You need to keep in mind that phone providers often customise their software based on regions, laws, network restrictions etc. so you may be missing settings and bloatware if you go with a generic stock rom.

Hi, I was using rooted n9005 with fahadali s5 custom rom. All working excellent.
Last evening I installed this program http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-galaxy-sensors-temperature-humidity-t2828815 (I am not sure is this problem). Installation was not normal (it said it is installed although was not)
After some time I noticed that auto rotation, temp sensors, proximity, auto brightness- nothing is working...
I reinstalled totally with odin, full wipe- still nothing...
Is phone killed or there is some solution, I do not know what to try else more then normal odin reinstall...

i replied in the app thread, you had a previous version installed right? it was installation or update? and, if i can suggest you, have you tried hw test for sensors? ( *#0*# )
Thanks, friends I was so busy last evening on job.
I am afraid it is hardware damage http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428732
I hope I will not be forced to change logic board (then almost no sense), I do NOT have warranty.
@rayman95- I want make one last software attempt: please tell me what wipes/ formats to do and I will install your v13 slim.
@ale32thebest- I do not say your app killed it. It is fact that I noticed errors just after unsuccessful try to install your app. My last hope is
that it locked some system calls (maybe I am wrong). Remember, I was using fahadali s5 rom and plays store sees my phone as s5. Do you have any suggestion to try something about that
thanks again.
in recovery go to monts and storage and format system, data, cache, data and /data media + factory reset and wipe cache+dalvik
then reboot recovery and flash a rom
@rayman95 First, how to back dpi to stock in your rom 13
NOT WORKING
I have different behaviour when try *#0*# last 2 days on different roms and kernels for sensor hub test
mostly I got

Have the same problem.none of the sensor works tryed flashing still no use.just wanna know is this the problem of Cert file/qcn file or hardware?
Same problem!
I have the problem here. I've tryed everything: full wipe, custom rom, return to stock, downgrade, upgrade, etc.
I believe it's a hardware problem, I've bought both note 3 (mine and my wife's ) at the same time, but suddenly all sensors stop working. No root, nothing. I restore factory configuration many times, trying everything, including format and jump all account registration and don't installing nothing after format. Useless. Every time, after a few minutes, all sensors stop again.
---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------
Only mine have the problem, my wife's working perfectly.
Both phones without root. I only rooted after The problem appear and try everything.
Hi, i'm cross-posting this for visibility.
So, i'm completely lost. I was playing around with ROMs and mods (the RAM build.prop, for example), and now all my phone's sensors seem to be stuck.
I have reflashed back to completely stock ROM, taken official sprint update. Tried modded ROM, done factory resets, cleared/wiped everything, and still the issue persists.
It would appear my Gyroscope, Accelerometer, Proximity Sensor, and Compass are all not responding at all.
Right now i'm on rooted stock AOJ6.
Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe a corrupted sensor properties file or something similar like that? I'm completely at a loss.
Any help is appreciated.
Guys, it fixed itself. I booted into safe mode, restarted and all the sensors are working again.
I doubt it had anything to do with safe mode, as the sensors weren't working in safe mode.
I have no idea what could have done it. I wish I had a real answer for you.
Hello everyone,
In russian segment of the internet many cases that camera led flash is not working properly.
But i didn't find any similar issue here. So i am trying to describe symptoms below:
1. Firmware - latest 5.1.1 [A310FXXU2APDC SER]
2. Torch is working perfect
3. When you tried to make a shot with flash enabled - autofocus is working properly and led flash are working, but when it makes a shot - flash is blink on the 5% of power for short period of time. Video was taken by someone from 4pda forum: _youtube.com/watch?v=zEAtzw7Knj0
Photos after that looks like black square of Malevich.
Wipes - don't help
Flash firmware + wipes - don't help (i tried 1 file fw and 4 files fw)
Did anybody face with similar case? How you solve this? This is a really strange bug, because LED is working good, so it looks like software issue, but changing firmware is not helping as you can see above.
Thank you for any help,
BR Alexey.

it doesnt happen all of the time i think but a lot..
Fixed it with the following:
And now the very solution to the problem:
I continued those that put the phone on charge, I go to the camera, I turn on the flash, press on the side rocker (to take pictures), and while the camera focuses - pull charger from the outlet, and voila, the phone now makes normal images with the flash under all conditions as before.
Here is an unexpected decision.
how to overcame this problem?

Hi, I updated my Samsung A3 (SM-A310F) to Android 7.0 recently. At the beginning everything worked fine but maybe 2 days ago I started to have a problem with camera taking pics with flash (same as described in first post). I cleared cache for camera app, gallery app and cache partition as well. It didn't help. I used method posted by "cobr" and it worked straight away. Huge Thanks to cobr

Hello, i have the same problem on my a3 2016, but the solution about the charger didnt work for me...
---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------
Hello, i have the same problem, and the solution cobr posted didnt work for me. any ideas?
Cobr's recommendation worked!
Connect the charger to your phone. While charging the phone, launch the camera app.
Press any of the volume button (up or down) to take a shot, immediately the first flash comes up, quickly disconnect ( yank) the charger from the phone.
njoy!
Thank you cobr
I did it and it works
Thank you so much.
Just as the title says, after flashing the bootstack, rom and gapps countless times, i still dont have auto rotate or auto brighness. all the sensors seem to be dead except for wifi, gps and mobile network. did anyone else experience this? how did you resolve it??? please help!!
I had the same problem after dirty flashing from 13.1. I did a factory reset and reflashed and all was well.

i flashed the boostack, rebooted back to recovery, flashed the rom and gapps, wiped cache and rebooted. it boots fine. but then i still dont have auto rotate. seems like the drivers werent installed or something
Obvious questions, but did you check the rotation settings inside the display menu? Also, is Adaptive brightness toggled on?

Check the md5 on your download to make sure it is not bad Install twrp 3.0.4.0 you could also move everything you want to keep to a sdcard so you can do a total wipe. Now install rom and gapps only and check to see how everything works before adding root or apps.

Hello, I also have an issue with the accelerometer (and by consequence the auto rotate function).
I am on full stock Nougat B09 (no root) and the issue was also present on B06.
Rebooting the device solve the issue, and factory reset does not make this bug disappear.
That being said, I think I located the root cause.
The magnetometer seems to be never working, even after a reboot. When an app wants to use the magnetometer (like Google map, or the compass), it make the accelerometer crash....
Anyone else having this issue ?
Does you magnetometer works flawlessly ?
Thanks.
@arachneon,
Hi, you can change it in the tools---compass, and in that compass you can waggle the phone in the way of "8", if all that cannot fixed you can also seek help in the nearby ZTE after sales service repair center. Thanks!
I have recently unlock my boot loader and install a custom rom on my asus zenfone max pro m1, at that movement my sensors are working fine, once i was update the custom rom all sensors did not working, except proximity and light sensor, and i had a problem with flash light torch it is also not working properly.
I have verified with stock rom firmware but problem was not solved. And i have tried factory reset, but output is zero.

Actually I don't know, how it returned back.. But same issue happened to me thrice.. Each time when it happens I start changing firmware 53 to 59, 59 to 82 or 82 to 59, 59 to 53 something like that..
After flashing firmware, sometimes all sensors returns back automatically.. But sometime it doesn't work.. But if you try same process everyday two or three time then someday sensors will return back.. I know it's illogical but believe me I have seen this two times..
If anyone has any better solution please share.. Before that try changing firmware and check which works perfect for you..
It's not a custom ROM related issue.. Same things happened to me even with stock ROM.. I called service centre and they told me it is motherboard related issue.. But as I told you after changing firmware it returns back so I think it's definitely firmware related issue..
Enjoy..
