Hi guys today i just updated my device with the latest bnl9 5.0 lollipop build. I realized that if the screen is on when i put my finger in front of the heart rate led it turns on. If i enter to s health and scan my heart rate than i exit it is normal for a couple minutes but than it turns on again. Is that anybody with the same issue? Or it is a new function?? Is that any fix?

Google FIT is the problem. It keeps the sensor active.

Hi, I was having the same issue, just uninstalled Fit, reboot the phone and the issue is resolved
I just like Google Fit a lot, do you know of a way to disable this sensor option?
Cheers
Fit can be disabled in google settings. Search here.

Hmm. I have the same issue, but factory reset did not fix it. I use Google Fit a lot, is there really no way to "deactivate" the problem without stopping Fit completely?

Hey guys, Hopefully somebody can help me here.
I recently noticed my G2 wasn't going into landscape mode at all, Its like the device don't even recognize ive tilted it into landscape position! No matter if im watching videos ive recorded, Videos on YouTube or looking at pictures on my device ... I thought id try and calibrate the screen to see if that helped, When i click "calibrate" i get a pop up saying "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped", I have to click OK, Ive went into general>apps>all>settings and tried clearing the cache but that didn't help, Ive tried a factory reset but that didn't help, Ive even tried re installing the firmware via the LG support tool but again still the same problem!
Anybody got any advice please?
Sounds like a sensor/driver problem. The sensor isn't returning the expected data and the app/OS relying on it crashes.
Are you on a custom ROM?
No, Stock Rom & unrooted!

Huh, that's especially strange.
What happens if you use an app such as Accelerometer Monitor. Crashes as well?
I downloaded a game that used the Accelerometer, When tilting the phone nothing nothing happened, There was no movement from the ball, I was starting to think it was hardware related so i rooted my device, Installed TWRP and flashed a different ROM.
Fixed my issue. :good:
I factory reset my phone and know it's saying unfortunately, settings has stopped. So I don't know what to do. It won't even let me into the settings,it's just a black screen with that box.
Hi guys, I'm experiencing the weirdest problem.
Yesterday I got myself a Galaxy S4 9505, everything was working fine, it was on 4.3. During the day, I've installed a few apps (including a barometer one) and rooted it and suddenly, the screen auto-rotation doesn't work. I've no idea what happened, since I didn't run any debloater or anything like that. I've decided to factory reset a few times, but it didn't solve it. I flashed the 4.4.2 from France on it and still nothing. I've ran the Sensor Test from the Play Store and it says that the accelerometer reports both X and Y fine, however Z stays at 0 for some reason.
Could anyone help me out, please? I'm pretty stressed out.
Oh and also, I have the libgnustl_shared.so lib in system/libs and it has rw-r--r--
Also the icons rotate in the camera app and steering works perfectly in Asphalt 8, but even Ultimate Rotation Control from the play store doesn't fix it.
Thank you
Reflash rom.

doing it right now, installed the Google Play edition 4.4.2, no luck in that one either. I've noticed that the test menu reports the accelerometer's Z axis as 37600-something, that's not normal, is it? X and Y work fine. If that's the culprit, it's a broken accelerometer?

tried everything, but nothing seems to work, any ideas on where I could buy a replacement accelerometer?
Can you return to samsung service center under warranty and ask them to fix it for you. Or did you trip your knox?

dial *#7353# and test the sensor
or install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=imoblife.androidsensorbox and post the pic
Knox'd sadly. Samsung service wants 300 bucks to replace the whole mobo so it's a no go.
Magnetometer works fine (maxes out when I approach a speaker). Orientation seems to be working fine, at least the bubbles in the Spirit Level move as they should. Yet no auto-rotate. The accelerometer is weird, because the ball rolls around as it should, but the Z value is stuck
Allow me to illustrate:

also, thanks for trying to help me out!
also, the accelerometer test from *#7353# works perfectly
Hello everyone I have the HTC One M8 running CM13 and I have this problem where VR apps start rapidly clicking with this white dot in the middle of the screen as soon as they're started up. The phone then becomes unresponsive as it is registering clicks from it, making the phone freeze up. The only way I can get out of this is by locking the phone and rebooting the phone from the lock screen. I thought it was the magnetometer in the phone doing this so I installed an app to read it and searched up the normal ratings for what the sensor should be at and everything looks fine. I have tried reinstalling Android with a different version and still the issue persists. After a while the phone starts heating up from this and on some of the VR apps I have tried that use the same cardboard system the phone will rapidly vibrate as well. I have spent hours trying to figure out what may be causing this and still, no luck. The phone is not in a case, no magnets are any where near it. NFC is turned off, all apps are updated. If anyone knows a solution to this issue that would be great, thanks!
*Bump* I still have this issue, can someone please help me with this?
It now seems to be happening in Pokemon Go... *Sighs*

I have the exact same issue, the only time when the white dot wasn't showing was when my gyroscope was malfunctioning or just simply "off". I have no clue how to switch it off though.

had the exact same issue. same in pokemon go which ist a vr app. on several cm13 roms on my old m8.
only way i could fix it was to install a GPE rom. might be a cm13 bug for the m8 which never got fixed. so i guess anything not cm (aosp, gpe, stock) will work.
i dont own the m8 anymore but my old one and the one of a friend had ur issue on cm13. on gpe rom everything worked.

This problem was fixed a long time ago. The problem was the uncalibrated gyroscope, which they took out a few days after this thread was made. Just update your phone and it should work
Same exact issue
I have an Lgg3, same process I removed the magnet thinking that was the issue, I updated all apps, removed app and re-downloaded them, have an unlocked phone running total wireless so I used a Verizon sim and updated the phone to the newest version, recalibrated the phone, nothing I mean nothing I can find will work for this issue that I can find. Only does it with 360 apps not on 180.

Try opening Google maps and moving your phone in a figure of 8 mate that might help

It jumps around a lot for me only when I'm indoors. When I'm outdoors it works accurately

Hi guys, I have been dealing with s8 camera problem for months now and decided to ask before I smash my phone into the wall.
Problem looks simple, I start recording and it randomly stops. Its followed by quick flash(the one that you see when switching the camera on) and looks like camera is restarting. It happens after 2,5, 10 seconds or sometimes doesn't happen at all. I recorded a video of my baby and after 20s I found out that recording stopped and I didn't get anything. I tried to use a camera in safe mode, seems to be working fine there.
Does it mean that some apps interfere with camera app? Also tried cleaning the cache which didn't help. Is there a way to find what apps are causing the issue? Is factory reset best option in my case? I would add that I can see those weird flashes even when I'm not recording and camera is simply switched on.
I would appreciate any help guys. Thank you.
Do you try some other camera apk ?

Yes, they worked fine and didn't have any issues. I would like to use an original app tho because I find it much quicker and less complicated. Wonder if it's maybe related to Samsung cloud sync. I'm just too scared to factory reset lol
So you are saying that U never tried to solve the problem by doing a factory reset? That should be second thing on your list, after restarting. xD
