Rotation problem - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried a full odin but my rotation is truly knackered. It sometimes works for a few minutes after boot but after that all gyro functions stop dead. Anyone faced this? Is the sensor gone?

Screen auto rotate

Does anyone has this problem? Whenever I want to text someone it takes a while for my screen to rotate, sometimes it wont rotate. I tried to shake it or flipping flopping it, but still no luck. Is there away to re-calibrate the G-Sensor?
same problem here. Locking and unlocking seems to fix this sometimes.

Sensors freezing

I've noticed that since updating to 4.4 that my sensors are freezing.
I noticed it when I went to use SMS and the screen immediately switched to landscape and would not rotate back when I held the phone upright. I unchecked the auto rotate in the settings and it returned to upright. I also noticed at the same time that the screen was a little dark and was not auto adjusting the brightness.
From the phone I entered *#0*# to get the test page and on opening the sensors they where all stuck solid. Only the proximity would work.
Sensor Hub test shows the STM32 pass.
The only way to fix it is to power off and back on. A re-start does not fix the issue.
I suspect a hardware problem. Anyone else seen this before?

[Q] gyroscope problem?

Rencently, the auto rotation stops working sometimes. I found this when viewing photos from Gallery app( stock) when switching between vertical and landscape photos. I turned on Screen rotation already. But it won't rotate. I thought it's hardware problem but a reboot solved the problem.
It's really annoying when I play racing games and use gyroscope as control. The car just keep spinning! Again, a reboot solved the problem. But it will come back always. I still can't decide whether it's a software or hardware problem? Os is stock 4.4.2 xxUenb1.

Proximity sensor triggering Capacitive keys in stock Roms

Hey guys.. I've been having a strange problem with my S4 i9500.
I know there are a lot of people having Proximity sensor bugs but my problem is different.
My Proximity sensor is working totally fine with phone calls and everything seems fine with the sensor.. however whenever the proximity sensor is triggered (switched from far to near) it acts as a press on the menu button (in stock rom it opens the search and in s6/note5 ports it opens multi-window. but the weird thing about this bug that it doesn't happen in GearCM.. only in stock based roms.
it's sounds like not a bug deal bit it is.. cuz whenever my phone reboots 80% of the times it gets stuck in safe mode because of this. and I cannot get out of it untill I do a cache/dalvic cache wipe .
And Ideas ? does anyone had a similar problem? I hope I explained it well.

Gyro-sensor issue?

I've had my nexus 6p for about two months now, and yesterday, something weird happened to my gyro sensor. It seems to be completely out of place, not allowing me to rotate my phone in any app in any way. Occurred to anyone else?

The only related issue I've had is when it's laying flat and displaying in portrait, then I open an app and it opens in landscape. Kind of annoying.
I'd ensure rotation is enabled in display settings, and use an app like Sensors Multitool, under rotation vector it will tell you if the sensor is responding to movement at all. If it's not responding it's likely a stuck sensor. Either defective, stuck in position from a fall, or is held in place by static (in which case powering it off for 5 minutes should get it working again temporarily). If the app shows that it's responding to movement but still not rotating, I'd suggest a factory reset.

i left it off for 12 hours and it works perfectly now!
Now that you mention it ive had issues with it locking in landscape--recently in past 24 hours. Havent looked too much into it but toggling auto rotate usually fixes it. Thought it was my launcher (recently switched to asap) but i dunno....never had this issue before yesterday--closest thing would be its TOO sensitive and switches mode with the slightest movement. But thats not the same as it locking up in landscape
