Hi guys, i hope everyone is doing great....this is my first post so if i post this in the wrong section or forum please do advise me or feel free to move it.
Alright i have a Samsung S5 SMG900i Australian one; unfortunately somehow the sensor stopped working what i mean is that gyro fails on screen test , auto rotation not working , neither when i play games that uses tilting , so yeah....phone seems broken, curious thing though is that if i reboot in safe mode and quicmyl get out of it and restar in normal mode, gyro will give readings and start working until it breaks down again within a few minutes; ive reinstalled using lates, old, experimental, nighlys. any room either official or stock still gyro and tilt sensor not working can anyone help me with this? Another thing is i love playing Airplane games now that gyro or tilt sensor is not working i want to see if i can either fox this issue , or i could get an app that draws a stick over the games and simulates the gyro with my movements? What i mean is; if i want to play a airplane simulator but the plane wont move because my phone is broken, anyone knows of an app that can simulate gyroscope or tilt movements with a simple joystick so i could move the planes as if i was moving the phone?.
I count with
S5
Cm13 latest nightly
Xposed
Root apps and adb
Please so helo me either find an app that can simulate gyro with a joystick or any way i could use root or xposed to force the gyroscopic sensor reset?.
Very very thanks in advance and i apologize for my bad english i tried my best to make myself as clear as possible.
Cheers.

Hello Everyone.
I am having some trouble with the orientation sensor in Galaxy S. I downloaded the Doodle Jump Game from the android market and the Doodle just goes to the Left side when the phone is 100% straight. (i have tried this with similar games and the deviation is consistent)
I got the Android Sensor App from Marketplace to test the Sensor and It shows that my Orientation Sensor 's Roll is off by 6 (on a flat surface)
I am currently running firmware DDJF3 .
My question is there anyway to fix that. I mean if there are any files which i can edit to get this working
Thanks.

Whats going on with device.
Thanks
There are Nothing wrong with the device!
You need to do some setting on your GAME's control to enable the functions! DUDE...

I have tried all setting.still cant stear.i used stl viewer to check sensor.it seems sensor need calibration.i tried to calibrate in settings but that blue dot wont move in gyro even if i move devuce.here is a snap shot from stl viewer while phone in flat surface sitting striaght.i check the setting using *#0*# everything seem to be working.also when i try to play airpenguins the cartoon goes in water before i even move the device.no control at all.i dont play that many games.but my daughter is 6 years old she plays. My infuse did not have any issue like that.
Hi, today suddenly my phone didn't rotate the screen anymore when I rotated the phone to landscape. I had auto-rotate on. This problem had stayed for a while now and I have already rebooted my phone as well as turned off and on auto-rotate. I know the accelerometer is working because I used apps that use the accelerometer, so my guess is it's done software bug. I think it had happened before to me but briefly and it somehow got fixed. I'm wondering if this has happened to someone else and how you fixed it. Thanks!

If u were referring to it auto rotating in the home screen, the stock launcher doesn't not do it
No not the home screen, any screen (browser, Facebook, mail, etc..)

Try an app called ultimate rotate to force rotation in apps as a test

Way to read the OP.
This just happened to me....I have auto-rotate checked in accessability and display...any help would be appreciated.
Happening to me now as well. Not sure whats causing it :-/
Auto Rotate
It is happening to me as well.
I don't know if it pertains to you or no as mine is rooted and it does only on AOKP Rom.
For now what I had is to install Screen Orientation app. It lets you toggle Forced Portrait / Forced Landscape mode from notification bar.
And i have checked auto rotation enable in settings.
Open Instagram, it forces portrait..
help
This is happening to me right now but much worse, I've toggled, rebooted, wiped, reflashed, flashed old backups, different kernels, different roms I was originally running AOKP with faux kernel and my auto-rotate had been working fine then I downloaded temple run and I couldn't tilt from side to side, I would re-calibrate but every sensor app I download says that my; Accelerometer, compass, light sensor, proximity sensor, temp, gyroscope, gravity sensor, linear acceleration, and rotation vector sensor don't even exist, the apps say there not there. I have no idea what more to do to reset them or fix them, they were all working fine before and then they just stopped.
Any ideas or information would be appreciated, the last thing I'm going to try is a full Odin flash back to stock everything (if that is even available yet for the nexus 4)

i read something about losing sensors by using the 4.2.2 radio With a 4.2.1 Rom. anyways it's a documented issue. try going through the 4.2.2 threads. i believe that's where i saw it mentioned.

smacking it worked
read on another forum that "a decently hard smack" would correct it.
they were right, Its working again.
solved mine
in my case, it was an app called gravity screen. uninstalled it, reboot phone, and the auto rotate is enabled now

Open the phone dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#* , if it doesn't work the first time try the code again and it should open the hidden testing menu, choose device test and you can manually test all the phones sensors to confirm if the proximity sensor is working or not. I had a s7 that did the same thing, the proximity sensor just quit working one day and I confirmed it wasn't working with this method. Good luck.
same result, not working too.
maybe problem is from hardware,
any idea on how to fix it, just something like using xposed or what?

I just dealt with it, sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't. There's an app on the play store that you can use for screen rotation, I ended up using that when I absolutely needed rotate the screen.
i dont care about rotation screen.. i just want the back screen working normally, if tap transfer button on color display it won't open it on epd screen when i rotate the phone..
I don't know if it happened the same with you, I own a YD206 so I am not sure how YD201 behaves, but there's a problem with proximity sensor that makes it working all the time, I have wrote a comment about it and will try to contact Yota about this, meanwhile it would be important for people that are not aware of this problem because is such a faint light to actually confirm if the same is happening to them, YD201 or YD206:
I discovered that I also have this problem, I was with the wrong radio, had to flash the Chinese radio and it suddenly appeared, this is what I have found I have an YD206, so I wonder how the YD201 behaves:
On YD206:
With wrong radio. radio (Russia xx versions) on YD206 , in KitKat or Lollipop ROMs the proximity sensor is OFF by default BUT, as soon you turn ON an app that uses it, it won't turn off again, it keeps blinking even if you force kill the app that started. However it will turn off if the screen is off, after 5 seconds after. Also it's important to acknowledge that 2G only with this radios fails. On Lollipop Wifi won't turn off automatically, just manually.
YD206 With the correct radio. radio S01_003_3034_CN1_M05 2G 3G (UMTS) and 4G (LTE) all work and with better reception, but as soon the screen is ON, the proximity sensor starts working, does not matter what app you have open, when you turn OFF the screen the proximity sensor will turn OFF in about 5 seconds. If you are using the EPD screen the proximity sensor will turn OFF faster than 5 seconds, but as soon you touch the EPD it will turn ON for 3 seconds or so. On Lollipop Wifi won't turn off automatically, just manually.
So the problem acts differently when you flash a different radio, I am not sure where's the bug comes from, but it seems there's also a bug with YotaRom. There's a Xposed module to disable proximity sensor in specific apps, I haven't tried that, I also would like to know how this behaves with the Marshmallow Beta.
(For the ones that are not aware of this problem, keep in mind that to see this problem you need to be on a dark place to see the very faint red light of the proximity sensor.)
Best regards,

Hy my accelerometer seems like dying. I used pixel live wallpapers (zion national park one) which used the accelerometer 24/7. It worked for a week and after it stopeed working (the rotation) and i tought maybe its because the app. Tried factory reset but did not work. Now I have to use a ****ty app to rotate my screen :/.
I search for some deep forum solution and maybe if you delete a cfg file in data/system and run an adb command it fixes, but you need root for that.
I hope the chip is not broken
Any help is apreciated
My galaxy note 5 is rooted, I have installed the Floyd One UI and trying to fix the Accelerometer bug on the T varient
