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 just bought a Nexus 4 with broken touch screen which I replaced myself.
After I replaced it, I decided to start fresh and updated the device directly to stock 4.4 using fastboot commands and got stuck in bootloop (4 circles going on for hours).
Then I tried different factory images and managed to boot under official Android 4.2.2 and it worked flawlessly until I tried to update with 4.3 OTA (with radio .83)
I found out that downgrading radio from .83 to .48 (or .53) allows the device to boot under Android 4.3.
I'm now stuck at this stage because the same trick does not work after 4.4 OTA (from 4.3).
The issue seems to be acknowledged by Google but they don't seem to have an official software fix for it since they only go for a replacement.
I'm considering an RMA but since I replaced the screen myself, I'm facing the risk to be charged 200€ if my warranty gets void (if they really control the device as they say).
Anyone managed to fix this issue? It seems to be linked to the radio (can't go further than radio .48 / .53)?
Just found out that the jack/proximity/light sensor wasn't properly connected, probably after the screen replacement. It now boots under 4.4.2
Found people with the same issue on this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2595283
Just ended up reading it but my researches did not drive there earlier.
To conclude, bootloop under 4.3 and 4.4 can be related to a faulty (or just disconnected) sensor.

I confirm my nexus also bootloops on android version >= 4.3.0 due to faulty sensor.
Basis of conclusion:
My nexus 4 also started bootloop suddenly. I tried installing 4.4.2 and even 4.3 from factory images but everytime it stuck at boot animation. The only version currently working is 4.2. I always used a software called smart cover but it started mus-behaving. so i downloading phone tester and proximity sensor finder from play store, both the programs told me they were waiting for sensor/they did not get data from proximity and light sensor.
Question:
is there any way to update to 4.4.2 without being stuck at bootloop without replacing the sensor?
thanks in advance!

Did you find a solution?
Not yet. I will definitely post if I am able to find one. Researching on the topic currently.
I've got the same problem with 4.3 bootloop. Could this be fixed with custom rom?
Try flashing 4.2.2 rom - custom or stock
I'm with 4.2.2... and that's not what I asked. I want 4.4.2. Is it possible to load custom kit kat with this kind of sensor problems?
Update:
I have been trying to update nexus. I tried to install radio version 98 and bootloader from 4.4.2 version to android 4.2.2 without updating system image. it works. so i think basically the issue is with the system image itself. looking for the patched system image now or a developer who can patch system image to ignore the faulty sensors.

I'm on 4.3 and the sensors dont work ... the proximity, gyro... nothing works... any solution?
Hello friends, i have a similar problem.
I went to replace the glass and warmed him a lot and damaged the lcd. I bought a complete lcd with touch, but when installing it the cel came in infinite boot, Flashed the 4.2.2 and booted but sensor is working by testing q I did for an app, the problem is they do not find my network and baseband ta as unknown, been through the radio's 4.2.2 (the version I am now). the motherboard was not with the screen when I get heated to the glass, were in housing with the display flex earpiece with proximity sensor and flex usb that has the microphone and led, everything is normal, the LED only that does not work. One would like some light please. I thought about buying the flex usb to see if it resolves, but does not want to risk spending for nothing. Thank you very much!

Hello everyone I am very new to this area of computing (and this forum). However I have still ended up in the same hole as you guys are describing although it happened for a completely different reason. (BTW: I am rooted)
one day I tryed to play the android game NOVA 3 on my Nexus 7 on the highest graphical setting so I went and researched how to do this. I was pointed towards some kind of app called 'ChainFire 3D', Once I pressed the install button inside this app the Nexus 7 switched off and the next time I tried to turn it on I got the X logo of death (boot loop). I then tried to enter recovery and I got the annoying 'no command' error. I cant seem to remember how I rooted this thing but I do have access to the fastboot stuff ONLY (inside cmd).
if there is anyone who has any idea how to go about fixing such an issue without wiping everything on my nexus could they please get back to me ASAP.http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/fingers-crossed.gif

You might be able to re install your android without clearing user data. Try to flash the device with Google provided factory images without the reset tag.

Hey there
A friend of mine has the following problem with his Note 3 (completely stock).
Since the latest 4.4.2 OTA update, sometimes suddenly the screen does not respond to touching it with your hand. It does react to the stylus.
Locking and unlocking the screen does the job, but only for a few minutes.
I wiped the phone via stock recovery, but the problem persists.
Anyone with the same problem, or maybe a clue?
Thanks!

Hi
Same problem here,I tried several 4.4.2 official and custom roms but not fixed and I tried these too:
I tried mega wipe and last rom in samfirmware!
I removed my external sd card
And I googled and found there are others with same problem so it shouldn't be hardware problem
p.s.When screen freezes just half of it works! And just doesn't work by fingers and it works by s_pen!
There no way to come back to 4.3 too
What should I do?
Ty in advance
Finally Solved!
Hi
I had same problem
I did everything u said like:
mega wipe and changing rom
custom roms
taking out battery when it's on ( I Did this but I don't know It had any effects on my phone or not!)
taking out external card
But I still Had the Problem
Solution:
But I had a flip cover and I separated that from phone and thanks God,surprisingly It's Fixed and it works like a charm!!! after that I used my original cover and there is no problem till now.
Good Luck
Had the same issue posted it here bit no one responded.
Solution: The flip case I had..there's a problem with it where it locks the screen even when the case is not closed. But lately I had no issue it just seem to gotten fixed by itself.

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

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.
