G-Sensor and call problems

Well first of all I love Android, but I have some problems. The first problem I have is the G-Sensor, it used to work, but suddenly it stopped working properly. Now when I want to rotate the screen I have to hold it the way I want it to turn for 20 seconds, is there a solution to this problem?
Now my second and most important problem is calling. I have multiple problems with it. One of them is when I'm being called while the phone is in lockscreen I try answering it but I have to wait ten seconds before it actually answers, mostly the caller is already connected to my voicemail. My second problem is the End Call button when is press it, it says ended but I also have to wait ten seconds before it actually ends the call. Does anyone have the solution to these problems?
For further information, I use Froyostone 3.2. And sorry for my poor English.

Could anyone please help me, sorry for the bump?
Also I notice that my hardware buttons light up randomly.

I also have the same problem. Well at least with the g sensor. Running android 2.2 the problem with my g senor is whenever I flip messages they will not flip back. (along with anything else that does flip) I've done the re-calibration on the phone and this is what happens.. x axis is fine y axis either stays all the way up or goes all the way down. When I start the calibration the y and x axis both go to the middle but after when calibration is done the y axis goes right back up or right back down.
Thanks in advance if any one can help.

The same thing happens to me when I'm trying to calibrate it. Also have you tried holding your device for 10-20 seconds the way you want to turn it? This solves the problem for me, but I would like it to happen a little faster.

I calibrated the G-sensor when I first put on Android, bad mistake, the Bubble just stayed at the top and nothing rotated properly. The Sensor worked fine in WinMo so I guessed I'd screwed it up.
Since read somewhere on here that you shouldn't Calibrate it in Android.
Had to reinstall Android fresh to get it to work again, but its been working fine since.
Was on froyostone 3.1, when I reinstated upgraded to 3.2, all is great
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

Okay that could be the solution. Do you also know if I need to put a new data image on it. I would like to keep my old one, but I thinks the problem lies there or doesn't it?

You might be able to calibrate your G-sensor in Android. Click the calibrate button and place your phone screen down on a flat surface. For some reason, calibrating only seems to be working when you face your phone screen down. It did the trick for me, fixed the offset and it's working just fine now.

I tried changing the data image from 3.1 to 3.2 but the g-sensor was the same, i just used Titanium Pro to backup the data i wanted to keep and reinstalled.
Try the Phone on its screen re-calibrate as suggested, ive read that may work as Roeltjuh suggested, but that was after i had reinstalled

That seem to do the trick, thank you!
Does anyone have the solution to my other problems? Also I've noticed a new problem, sometimes my WiFi won't turn on till I reboot. In the settings menu it says shutting down WiFi. But its already been shut down, and because of the loading it takes to shut down wifi, I can't turn it back on and my data connection says that it will be turned on when my WiFi is shut down. So I always have to reboot.
Sorry for all the questions, but I believe some of them can be fixed and they're too annoying to ignore. And again sorry for my poor English.

Lollipop Big Issue

Hi everyone, i'd like to post my experience with Android Lollipop on my GS5 which is awesome except that since the first day i have the last Lollipop update ( ....L9) my heart rate sensor is always ON . Yep, if the screen is on, even in the lock screen mode, the HR sensor is always ON and if i touch with my finger the sensor, the red light turns on. The big problem is if i place my phone on the table, the red light will be always on. I've noticed that the red light remains turned on the time S Health takes to measure the heartbeat and then it turns off for like 2 mins then turn back on and the problem starts again. I've tried to kill S Health process and Health Service process, but nothing.
It really makes me annoyed.
Thanks everyone.

Tried a factory reset after updating to Lollipop?, heard a few people suggest that it fixes issues with left over trash files from KK

After 2 days trying to figure out and making a lot of factory reset, i found a partial solution ( because i like the app ). The problem is Google Fit. When it is installed on the phone, i don't know why it keeps the proximity sensor of the Heart Rate always on, when the screen is turned on. Disinstalling Google Fit and wiping the cache app, as i said, i solved the problem.

I have the same problem, but i solved it with a disable of activity detection in google fit and a reboot.
It sucks since i have a smartwatch, but i don't want to burn out the heartrate monitor.

Strange Ive heard a few people saying the HR sensor is stuck permanently on, not had that problem this end

Just noticed the same issue with the red light from the heart rate sensor. It was lit when I put down my S5 when the screen was on, will go out as soon as the screen goes black. I do have Google Fit installed, going to disable that next.

Had the same issue with the heartbeat sensor turning on. Turned off Motion Detection in Google Fit and rebooted - issue resolved. Thanks for the tip

In Call Proximity sensor Bug!!

Hey Guys,
I own an Indian Version, Moto G4 plus, 32GB variant.
Bug that i have been facing lately is that, while in call, the proximity sensor stops working, i.e. screen goes off while in call & i have to disconnect the call to get it back working. Also, restarting the phone enables it to behave normally, but this issue would re-occur any time again.
Thankfully, we have the feature to end call using power button, which i am using to overcome this.
I do have a tempered screen protector applied on the phone & i did check it is properly applied & doesn't interfere with the proximity sensor at all!!
Is anyone else also facing the same & can anyone of you help me to get this resolved ?
My guess is that it can only be resolved through a software update.
Also, my phone is stock, unrooted & bootloader is locked.
Thanks in advance.

moto g4 plus proximity sensor issue fixed
I have been a silent lurker on xda for too long.
time to give back to the community now.
Same problem with proximity sensor in my indian 3gb moto g plus.
I have found a solution, although it's not accurate.
First of all, boot into safe mode and try calling again,
if problem is there, your sensor is at fault, get it changed.
If calling works properly, then a 3rd party app is at fault.
remove all apps,
and begin installing them one by one.
I had alot of apps,hence can't pinpoint any specific app.
but if you follow this method, you can catch the app causing this problem.
My problem is fixed this way.
I am expecting a software update to address this issue soon.

Send your phones photo...

Hi,
1. Same issue with my phone..Moto G4 Plus..bought it on 16th Aug.. and noticed this issue on 30th Aug.. so missed phone replacement date by 4 days..
Anyways..my problem is even worse.. screen goes black during call and unless other side person disconnects phone is unresponsive. . Once restarted problem gets resolved for time being.
2. Moreover I also observed one more related issuewhile playing World Cricket Championship... Just after playing it for 5mins..phone starts flickering and simply you can't play anymore.
I'm thinking to visit service centre now.

uninstalling which app solved the issue??

Im using MotoG4 plus (India). I can confirm that even after removing temper glass, problem persists. This is surely a software issue. Thinking of rooting and flashing a custom ROM now.

Unbranded S7 Edge not waking up

Hey,
I have a weird glitch on my S7. Sometimes it won't wake up from the lockscreen. The screen just stay black no matter which buttons I press.
I've tried to fresh install Android OS, that didn't help.
I've tried to switch from Android 6.0.1 (DBT) to 7.0 (BTU), that didn't help.
I've also tried to turn off the Always On display, that didn't help either.
I'm running out of ideas.. It happens everyday 1-6 times and it really bugs me..
I don't want to install a custom rom since my KNOX didn't trip.
Do you guys have a solution for this problem?
edit:
Phone doesn't get hot or anything. It behaves normally. I can even put it on my QI Charger and I see the red charging LED.

Maybe a proximity sensor problem ?
Have you enable the feature who keeps your screen off when your phone is in your pocket or bag ? Maybe your proximity sensor does not work properly and causes this problem
Are you using stock lockscreen ?

No the feature is turned off.
I'm using stock lockscreen :/
