Hi,
I just updated my phone to Android 5.0
Now I have this weird problem with the red led of the cardio sensor on the rear of the phone, now it turns on wherever on the ui (not only on S Health). Everytime I put my finger or any object to it, it turns on.
The problem is not hardware, and I have no other apps which have access to it (beside S Health and G Fit)
Please help
Thanks

Hi everyone,
since a few weeks i got problems with the proximity sensor on my i9505
First i thought that it is software related but after clean installing a new ROM yesterday i see that the problem still exists...
It happens when the proximity sensor should react, when i am close to it, it reacts and activates but the problem is that it wont turn off again...
i dialed the test menu and went to sensor test, as i see the sensor sees the distance normaly, when i bring it close and when i move it away i see that the numbers react how they should, however after the sensor is once trigerred with a close object it starts to vibrate and the screen turns green (how it should), but after moving away it registers the distance but it won´t stop to vibrate and turn off :/
Anyone who knows what could be wrong?
I have to mention that the display was changed once (because of the glass broke) but it was working normal for months...
EDIT: after testing again i see that the sensor sees the distance just as it should the only problem is that once that the sensor action is triggered to 1.0 from 0.0 it stays at 1.0 no matter if i remove my hand...
So I got this g2 and i t was already rooted so everything works on it but the sensors no proximity no light no gps, no nothing screen doesn't go black on phone calls screen doesn't rotate sideways (I made sure turning was on) I downloaded sensor test app and it says that the sensors are turned off to turn them on n try again pls help

Hi All!
I had recently bought my mother an S4 i9506, and recently she has switched to a flip cover (with a magnet - what I think to have caused the problem)
Now what happens is if anyone's finger or any object for that matter covers any one of the two sensors next to the earpiece (the 2 that are directly next to each other with the right one of bigger size) the screen turns black until the object is taken away.
[EDIT] its the proximity/gesture sensor
Now this is really annoying and internet searching has turned up nothing of use to me, So any help is welcome.
It just renders the phone useless practically as the sensor seems super sensitive and I have no Idea of how to at least switch it off.
Thanks in advance

Hello my dearest friends, instead of auto rotation not working, I'm having a different issue on this S4, everytime I put the phone in landscape mode, it turns upside down from the angle I turned (eg. I turn the phone 270º and it turns the screen 90º). When I rotate to landscape mode, the only way to return to 0º is turning the phone upside down (like if 0º is on the top of the earphone speaker, not on the bottom)
I thinks this is related to Gyroscope sensor with problem, but since it's still working, but just can't rotate correctly, I was thinking, SINCE I'M ROOTED on LOLLIPOP, if isn't there a workaround for this issue by inverting the Gyroscopic sensors using xposed module or some other software (I even tried to edit build.prop but the line supposed to be there wasn't found)
Thanks in advance!
Hi all, so i poorly replaced my essential phone screen. After starting her back up, it seems as though the proximity sensor always detects something near it. During calls the screen stays dark until the other person hangs up. I have used some apps that say something is directly on it. If i am in call and pull the screen partially off, the screen lights back up as if nothing is detected by the proximity sensory. My essential phone is ROOTED so at this point im hoping to just disable the proximity sensor or at least install a mod to control the sleep during a call (via gesture, etc.) thanks in advance.
