Download CPU z and lux brightness from play store.
CPU z has an option which shows the values returned by your sensors.
Move your phone a bit and check if they change accordingly.
Try lux brightness to change ur brightness
From where you downloaded your stock ROM and how did you flashed it?
Which recovery are you using?

you live in Spain?
If you do live in Spain and use Vodafone then your firmware is OK, else not.
Try to format your data and cache from recovery, FORMAT not just wipe and then flash the stock firmware through Odin.
BTW what results did you got by using those two apps?

what I'm gonna do is... download the XXUBMGA stock firmware...(btw is LTE for the international model? cause there is no other model on samfirmware). full wipe and then flash the stock firmware, then root it and try flashing the rom again...
euhm... full wipe= wipe data and cache dalvic and system? and after the full wipe... reboot it directly into download mode or should I first start up the phone and then power of and then download mode?
realy sorry for this but normally everything works from the first time but this time... it doesn't and its for my friend... he can't call right now... and has no wifi.
thanks guys!!! wish I was an android developper!!!!!!!!!
doesn't matter , when you will use odin he will make a full wipe
yes LTE it's for the international model (I have LTE and I use International rom from sammobile)
read how to use odin before use'it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need to install the official firmware that came with your phone out the box, if you are on the old bootloader then It came with 4.2.2, if it came with the new one then it came with 4.3, go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ and look for the official firmware of your phone and carrier, then download it and flash it with odin. Leaked TW 4.4.2 won't solve anything, since it is a test build it can do worse than good.

Just use the link I posted before, you just need to select the phone model and your country/carrier and download the firmware and flash it with Odin. To download the firmware from the site you'll have to make an account for sammobile.
If u still in the old bootloader, use this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477

**[WITH LINKS]** Restore MK3 from NB2 firmware

For those who don't want CM11 or any custom ROM and want to restore XXUBMK3,
Follow these steps:
1. Flash the AMF7 or any other 4.1 STOCK firmware by ODIN to change the partitioning, and deleting the changes from new update.
2. Factory Reset the device from recovery.
3. Flash MK3 firmware, hence restoring phone to old firmware.
Tried on my phone, now fast as before...
EDIT
I had flashed AMF7 and then MK3 2 times
BNB2 > AMF7 > MK3 > AMF7 > MK3
to avoid any conflict, and it worked like a charm...
LINKS
4.1.2 AMF7
4.2.2 BMK3 | Mirror
ODIN 3.07
wud luv to try that.last time i was on stock K3 firmware during Dec 13 through nan back up when i was on carbon rom..and recovery was as asoomth as ever..no glitches....
however considering the recent problems that users here are facing here while restoring stock rom....wud like to give it a go .....thank you

I can confirm this method works.
Three days ago when the firmware was released, the lag was so bad on upgrading not just on stock but AOSP had freezes as well. I reflashed the K3 several times but it only helped a little. Finally, I got tired and decided to downgrade to 4.1.2 and upgrade back to 4.2.2, and it works great since.
Thank you for sharing this, it was a much needed info to be posted.
That damn NB2 update made my grand laggy.
I've flashed F7 ROM again but for some reasons it still feels laggy.
Am I the only person who smells a 'Samsung' conspiracy ?

Try this Rahul, you wont have to go through all of that.
I rooted my Grand, installed Titanium app and took backup of Gallery and Touchwiz and uninstalled both of them. Before deleting these two, remember to download their alternatives, i installed Quickpic and Nova Launcher and everything is back to normal. BNB1 is working smoothly now.

Download it from here
Search your phone's model number..
You can choose any country you wish to. But do not download any firmware that has a carrier written next to it. Dont download a network specific rom.
EXAMPLE: You have to download Brazil instead of Brazil (TIM)
Then flash it via Odin v3.09 by selecting the downloaded file in the PDA section
You can find many guides regarding how to flash via odin here.
And if you have the old bootloader then download any old file relating to your phones model number.
Remember if youre once on android 4.3, you cannot go back to 4.2.2
And if youre once on 4.4.2, there is no way you can revert to 4.3/4.2.2.
Bdw can you send me a screenshot of your current android version and baseband version? (Settings-->About phone)

And if youre once on 4.4.2, there is no way you can revert to 4.3/4.2.2.
Bdw can you send me a screenshot of your current android version and baseband version? (Settings-->About phone)

No dont download the unknown ones.
Personally speaking, Ive never tried them and wont ever try them
Download any, but without the carrier specified for i9505.(Singapore,Brazil,Slovakia etc.)
And you can do a data wipe first and then flash or vice versa.
I used to enter the rom first and everything used to crash
then performed a data wipe via stock recovery amd everything was back to normal
But anyways, anything would do.
About the bootloaders. If youre already on 4.4.2, you have a knox enabled bootloader. So you won't be able to flash anything below 4.4.2.
Download and flash stock firmware and see if the same happens repeatedly.
At times flashing twice has also solved issues.
And pressing thanks is more than saying thanks

Well come on PM
Ill explain there now..
Bdw with knox enabled by flashing the latest 4.4.2, you shouldnt really have a problem
I9505 has the capabilities of flashing a custom rom too without tripping knox.

There is no point in reflashing the stock firmware.
You need to fully wipe in the custom recovery and reflash the custom rom.
If you still have problems then try a different rom, preferably a non TW rom, like CM.
If you then still have the problems it's probably hardware failure.

Now IMO youre flashing the wrong Omega/Pheonix Version that is why the FCs are there.
Because there have been drasctic changes from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2.
Either update to 4.4.2 or CM

If you are on the old bootloader then read my post in an other thread about it.
