Auto brightness and auto rotation not working - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
I have a Galaxy S5 (G900F) running on CM13 6.0.1. My problem is that wheter the auto rotation, nor the auto screen brightness works at all. I already had the same problem on CM12.1, I don't know exactly when it happened, so I can't tell if the issue originated due to an update. However, all of the sensors except the thermal sensors are not working. In CPU-Z You can only see the thermal sensors that are fine, the other sensors are blank. I already did factory resets, installed an older backup (not exactly sure if it was still working there), I only didn't install a complete new (stock) rom. I just went from CM12.1 to CM13.
Thanks in advance and happy holidays to You guys

Light & Proximity Sensor broken?

Hey guys,
I am currently running latest d802f with dorimax 2.5 kernel. The following
problem also accured with stock kernel. As well on latest PA betas for about 2 weeks!
My light and proximity sensor seem does not to work anymore! First I thought its a PA beta problem, but it also accures on stock roms! I installed several auto brightness tools, because I thought somethings rom with the integrated auto brightness. But these additional apps don't work either!
Then I installed "sensor testing" apps and discoverd that NONE of them are showing any values for these sensor. either its "NO DATA" or "ERROR".
So, what to do? Gimme you thoughts plz, thx
Greetings
Up^^
Nobody else discovered the same issue?! An suggestions how to solve it?

[Q] [D802] All my sensors are 'gone'!

[Case history]
I've been using CM11 for quite a while and one day I messed up. I installed a Kernel that wasn't compatible with CM11 and I couldn't boot the phone. So I used ADB to push a CM11 ROM and flashed it using TWRP and it was fine...until...
I found that all my sensors were not working....well not all, but 'all'. Please let me explain.
I noticed that Rotation doesn't work anymore; I noticed that Auto Brightness would not work anymore; I also notice Accelometer wouldn't work.
So I downloaded the app 'Phone Tester', and I went to the 'Sensor' section and there was nothing detected there! No sensors at all.
However, I have this cover for my phone and when I cover the phone the screen will go out --> I assumed that means the proximity sensor works? I also noticed that the screen will blackout when I am on a phone call.
[My question]
I searched a bit and had two speculations.
1.) Baseband/Modem problem? --> I tried flashing the KK Modem for D802 and it didn't fix the problem
2.) Kernel problem? --> I think this is quite possible...but didn't flashing the ROM = flashing in a Kernel?
Any help is appreciated!
If I were you I would flash it back to stock and see if they work then

it is a baseband issue, as you know cm has not incorporated the lg kk changes which means that the kk baseband would not work you have to flash the d802 jb baseband and you will get sensors working again

cm 12.1 proximity sensor problem

I have installed cyagenmode 12.1 , everything according to instructions that I have found on their topic, and everything is working well except when someone calls me ( or I call someone ) phone screen goes black and I can't do anything. I think it has to do something with proximity sensor working correctly becouse it doesn't happen on stock rom.
Is there any solution for this ? I have tried recalibrating but without luck. If it can't be fixed I will have to change to some else rom but I realy like this one
p.s. mobile phone is samsung galaxy s5
Maybe it's because you installed cyagenmode instead of cyanogenmod, try installing the proper ROM first. Also, proximity sensors have nothing to do with phone calls.

Proximity sensor issue m3 note

I ve seen this adressed but upgrading to Flyme 6 does not solve the problem for me. Proximity sensor works occasionaly then not. With sensor utility it works like 5 times out of ten. I tried all G versions of Flyme 5, Flyme 6, chinese betas, problem still persists.
Does anyone have an idea or had a similiar issue. Thnx

If you update to new firmwares with clear data ticked then this will not happen, if you update with clear data ticked then Flyme 6 has an option to calibrate the proximity sensor and sccelerometer under the settings app. (Settings>Accessibility if i'm not wrong). Try doing it, if that doesn't help too then it most definitely is a hardware issue.
My phone is gionee f103(not pro) and rooted . For installation of custom rom,I followed the instructions in this guide and installed the zip from TWRP. It installed without any issues. But when I rebooted, the device got stuck in bootloop. I was not able to use either recovery or factory mode. Please tell me , what do i now , please.......
