Hi guys!
My SM-G900F has its sensor stopped working last saturday...
It was working properly untill I installed a game from aptoide...
The accelerometer and the gyroscope do not transmit values when I use *#0*#
What could it be the problem? Is it a hardware or software problem?
Thanks for answers

Should be software problem, as you've said "It was working properly untill I installed a game from aptoide".
Did you try to uninstall that game and see if the problem persists?

Reflash the stock rom you have with Odin and data factory reset afterwards, that should solve it. Some system files probably got messed up somehow.

Hi all,
I have had my Vega for two weeks now and my G-Sensor has stopped working. I am currently running Fuji-Vega Modded Rom based on Modaco Rom v0.7.
I have put back the original rom back on from the Vega website Version 1.10 but the G-Sensor still done not work.
How can I check if there is a problem with the hardware before I take to back PC World/Currys.
Many Thanks
Pav
Hi PavSingh!
I also have the same problem, the gsensor stoped working. No screen rotation and also the games doesn`t works.
I have Corvus5 with SP1.
Someone have the same problem? how can i fix it?
Thanks
Have you tried a reboot. I have had this a couple of times and a reboot has fixed it
yes, I also wipe and reinstall corvus5 and corvus5sp1 and the accelerometer doesn`t work
I am starting to think that something on the sensor is broken
Thanks
try to move the switch on top of the tablet...
Ok thanks a lot. The problem was that switch, i think that switch is to lock the buttons not to lock the gsensor. The kids have been playing with it and the have changed the switch.
Thanks a lot.
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.
Okay, so my friends N4 was stuck on bootloop and after using the toolkit the device is back on stock 4.3 the problem is.. the sensors dont work... the gyro.. the proximity .. nothing works... downloaded the CPU Z app and none of the sensors are detected... no values.... is this a software issue or a hardware issue?.. because earlier before the device started bootlooping.. the sensors didnt work.. on restoring a earlier nandroid backup the sensors started to work... so i think this has something to do with the software....any inputs will be appreciated.

Try flashing another Rom. 4.4 based and flash the latest bootloader and radio.
Hey guys. Youve got to help me out. All of a sudden my autobrightness function stopped working. What i mean is,if autobrightness box is checked,the brightness will be fixed no matter what,even the slider doesnt have any function,until i untick the box to make it manual. Got any ideas?
Sounds like a software error, have you tried doing a Factory Reset to see if that will fix the problem?

I have tried factory reset,at first it worked. Then after i flashed a another rom,it stopped again. Flashed back to and fro,stock and custom,factory reset,EVERYTHING! Nothing seem to work now.
In that case I would reflash the stock firmware back onto your device and take it into your local Samsung Repair Center and see if they can fix the problem for you.
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.

thanks for the reply. i did a clean flash. didnt work.
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.

This is an old thread, but I am hoping you found a fix for these issues. I am having the same issue. If you have a solution to share I would greatly appreciate it.

That's a drag. Thanks for the quick response though.
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!
