Any chance that you have a screen protector installed and it's blocking the sensor?

Yes i have a screen protector. But it doesn't cover sensor
Before 2-3 days it was just working fine even with screen protector.
And now suddenly it's not working.

Same here guyz. WIth stock 6.0.1 latest update, i think mostly all sensors are behaving erroneously. Any one knows the solution for this irritating daily problem.

Any fixes guys ? My proximity, rotation sensor stopped working suddenly today. Tried factory reset as well. Not helping. No screen protector or case! Any fixes ?

Same thing happened with mine as well. It was 6 months ago. I tried almost everything possible like factory resets (multiple times), soft restarts, reboots, rooting, installing N, then again coming back to stock ROM MM 6.0.1. But nothing worked. Proximity and other sensors are dead. So be prepared....

Looks like your phone is infected with blood cancer which is flowing into all parts of it
For me it was just with the sensors...rest of all were absolutely fine. For a company like motorola, this kind of bugs in sw are pathetic and not to have.
Finally after a long 6 months pain, and wasting lot of hours on research, I went back to my old trusted Samsung Galaxy phone. Never will own again a Moto!!!

My light sensor stopped working last evening.... Tried going back to 5.1.1, 6.0.1 and 7.1* but no avail, guessing it's a hardware failure

I broke my head for almost 6 months figuring whether this behaviour was a hw failure or sw failure. I lost my peace and lot of hours (trying to fix and figure out) with these sensor deaths on moto x play. Had lot of respect for moto. Now you can understand how i treat it. Noting solved. So my kind and wise suggestion for you would be to try all your trials to restore it - but only once!!! If they don't work at first try, they will never come alive again!!!
Few days ago i fell back to my trusted Samsung Galaxy J7 (by exchanging my moto x play with J7). Peace restored.
I will for sure get scared to go for any Moto devices. Period.
Thank me if these words of experience are helpful to you.

The sensors are solderd to the motherboard which means to restore a faulty sensor you will have to replace the whole board.... or have the patience and skill to desolder/deflow and solder/reflow the sensors which is a prety delicate practice

Agreed. I have even got that done with experts here. But the board of Moto x play is so thin like a paper!!! This makes it much more worse. So, avoid getting any hw soldering jobs on moto boards. They are not like samsung boards. I even had multiple visits to Moto service here in Bengaluru, but everytime they only suggest me to replace the complete board. Moto service is pathetic!!!
I now do have enough experience and wisdom on these matters. Please keep posted here if you still try meddling with your board and the results.

sensors off
I just buy this phone, from a woman, 70 bucks, and i noticed just now my 2 sensor r off - light and proximity - on andorid 6.0.1 .... so this is seriously ****, sensor r f..ed up after update to andorid marshamloow only? they will dont work when i downgrade to andorid 5?

I just dropped it off at my reseller within warranty.
Flashed everything back to stock, with no unlocked bootloader warnings.
So hopefully they will repair it within warranty (Netherlands) because it's a hardware failure for sure

Sorry to hear that buddy. Ya, Moto X has this tendency and it is very much inline with moto upgrades faulty sensors with Marshmallow. I even went back and reflashed to stock lollipop (and even locked back bootloader and removed the bootloader unlocked warnings), but nothing worked.
Try your luck and post it here.
For me it was sure a hardware damage!!! but not sure how software can damage hardware. I will stay away from Motos for the rest of my life. I am very happy with my Samsung Galaxy.

That sounds good and bad as well. Good part is they took your mobile to fix it.
Bad part is, here in India before even touching my mobile they asked for IMEI numbers of my mobile. They key-in these in their testing software and boom there they go. They found that my device's bootloader was unlocked and rooted. With this info they rejected to even touch my mobile.
Not sure, if you lock it back after unlocking once, will the status really be locked even in their software??? If yes, its good news again.
If no, they simply hold your device for a week or so, and return it back with the same reason.
So my suggestion is you double-check whether they replace the entire board or not. Also, keep periodically finding out the current status of the replacement.

In The Netherlands and the rest of Europe there is a law about warranty.
The manufacturer must be 100% sure the flaw is caused by unlocking and flashing custom firmware, if they can't prove this 100% they must fix the issue under waranty. <== TL;DR of the law
Source (31999L0044)
I know for sure this problem isn't caused by a unlocked bootloader because it's unlocked from the start without problems.

Oh wow.. are the sensors of all moto x play failing now ?? because mine light and proximity sensors are also not working since last few days..!!
Wonder if this is a strategy by Motorola to disable sensors after certain period of owning
LOL Jk..

Moto hardware and software both are crap. Now we all practically know why google sold it off to chinese.

by your logic, Volvo are crap too.

Just wanted to report that my sensors are also dying/dead. A week ago my vibration motor died, and a few days ago my proximity sensor and brightness sensor died, so now my screen is stuck at maximum brightness.
Even disabling auto brightness, the screen is stuck at max brightness, so it's likely more than just the sensor that died, but also some circuiting. I can tolerate no vibration, but once I was left using my phone with max brightness all the time, I said screw it. Hurts my eyes too much, especially at night.
I bought a Moto G5 Plus to replace this one. Hopefully it survives longer.

So i sent my nexus in for repair

it arrived yesterday at htc repair and ive been watching the repair tracking site. i had some pixel problems, like a quarter of my screen was darkened grey.
Keep in mind my phones bootloader unlocked, rooted, haha and i sent it in as is running the latest miui. Why? idno.
Anyways. I just checked the repair site and it says:
Ticket Information
Status: We are repairing your phone.
Service Type: Repair
Issue Description: top screen is darker that the rest of the device
I havent approved to pay for any repairs for an out of warranty phone. So i guess im off the hook right? I think im about to prove that htc repair people dont give a F***!
THought id share..
Uhhh, we have known this for a year now. It has been proven time and time again that HTC will warranty repair hardware defects, despite an unlocked bootloader.
This is nothing new or surprising.
Did someone has problems with the multi-touch screen: lags, do not respond or random reactions ...even when having a call ?
the solution for now is to push "shutdown button" and it seems to reinitialize the sensors for the screen ... isn't it weird ? It occurs 40% of the time ...
The menu for reinitialize sensors/calibration do not exist (for HTC Legend/Hero you can re-calibrate the sensors).
Do you have same problems ?
I will send it for repair soon...
im having the same problem, ive had it for a long time now, ive gone threw 20 Roms. so i know its not software related, or is it something the devs are over looking??
weird thing ....do Googlers have same problem when demonstrating navigation/goggles/phone calls/voice recognitions .....or do we fall on bad series ???
definitely hardware problem or something no-one has been aware of ....?

Sometimes it's worse than others, I think if the phone is running something pretty intense it happens more often. Otherwise, no, there's no calibration. Calibration doesn't make sense on a capacitive screen.
The touch screen issues have been known since the beginning, and the solution of quickly turning the screen off and on has been known for just as long.
It's part of the hardware, and most if not all Nexus owners experience it once in a while.
Getting a warranty replacement for that will not fix anything, it is a flaw in the hardware design.
Good thing to know that...but really weird for such a device...they probably think about it when starting/choosing next nexus.... ;-)

I'm curious whether they'll return it with a relocked bootloader and stock ROM
i've noticed that the only time i have touchscreen response issues is when i use my N1 without a case on it and it seems to be because some of my fingers touch or get near the edges of the screen glass. i have a silicone slip on case and when its on the phone it prevents me from touching the glass accidentally at the edges and i never experience any response problems when its on the phone. just my 2c.

yeah that would annoy the crap outta me as well, glad mine does not exhibit this problem.
i'd love to guesstimate how old mine is but i'm the second owner, it might be possible that they fixed this hardware issue in later build revisions or it could just be a random problem with the touchscreen/module, some do it and some don't idk.

was it amoled or slcd though lol
i have to make the call when i get up. today my usb port was gone from the phone when i went to plug it in tonight. i never used to have the screen issue, it slowly started happening and now it happens all the time, i lay it flat in my hand and i hit a button on screen and my menu pops up etc.
nice to see a recent time frame though, i'm dreading going without my phone and having a dumbphone replacement. would love to know if it was amoled or slcd you got back though, thats my one worry

[Q] [HELP] Digitizer vs some weird BUG ?

for the past week my screen has been going whacked out on me.
the on-screen buttons would start clicking on their own, and sometimes the screen becomes unresponsive,
BUT
when i turn it off, and back on, it would work perfectly fine .
so i basically get a 50/50 chance if the screen going crazy on me...
now if it was the Digitizer, wouldnt the problem be ALL THE TIME?
as opposed to being random, could it be a BUG ?
Can anyone please help or advice, thanks !
If a factory reset doesn't fix it it is probably hardware. I have seen intermittent problems with digitizers before.

Sent from my Nexus 4, running Carbon Nightly + Matr1x Kernel v10
well they are talking about having to send my device in, then run tests and see what the problem is followed by whatever charges ..

I have a similar-sounding issue (on-screen buttons flashing wildly, et al.); I am thinking of opening the device to check on connection
Is it more or less likely, in your experience, that the connection between the display assembly and the board is loose from impact or whatever, or that the digitizer itself is just defective?
Thanks for your help.
I had the exact same problem on my device and it can be due to two reasons.
1. If your phone get extremely hot during use then the screen starts behaving abnormally.
2. If you had dropped your phone then there is a slight chance that you have damaged the digitizer.
I had the second problem and I have replaced the screen and it is working normally again.

Dead Screen Touch

My LG G2 (d802) started having dead screen touch in some small portion of the screen. I just installed Cloudy G3 Rom about a week ago and the problem started showing 4 days after installing the rom. Not sure if there is any connection.
Today i flashed Paranoid Android and i still see the dead touch screen problem is there.
Is it hardware issue? Or still is there any way to find out if its a software issue?
Any help appreciated

Exactly what part needs to be replaced? The display or just the touch sensor?
My one started going crazy. Now it detects press automatically as soon as I turn on the screen. Had to turn off knock-on feature or it would keep turning off and then back on the display again and again.

I was ignoring all the posts about this issue when I browsed the forums, I thought I was safe since my G2 is more than 6 months old and also because some people mentioned it was related to some type of screen (there are two models) and I was on the "safe model", which apparently is not the case. So today I started to investigate the issue and some people end up replacing the whole screen (digitizer and LCD) which I think I'll do too.
Replacing just the touchscreen seems like the cheapest option since the part costs less than $20 bucks, but I honestly don't recommend taking that path since it's really hard to separate the LCD screen from the touchscreen.
So yeah, the whole screen assembly runs for like $70 plus bucks.
Better waste 50 bucks more then when you need to use the liquid and special devices to stick the digitizer to the lcd, it isn't for people who have never done it before. Its especially harder on newer smartphones then from 2010. Thats also the reason why the nexus 5 digitizer isnt sold seperately since replacing it would be much easier and you wouldnt risk your display when replacing the digitizer.
For that 70 bucks you maybe also have the tools included to open the phone and there are many videos which you should follow carefully to replace it well. I would rather pay 70 bucks then going to some repair shop or service center which replaces it for 130 bucks and above. @in_core If you have warranty use it since dead touch isnt your fault and as I read its common so LG have maybe screwed up it somewhere or the rom caused it :/ but i don't really think the g3 rom caused it since people even get that problem who are fully on stock without root.

[HELP] Battery problem

Recently I've rooted my phone, one week later I was experiencing battery problems, drop 30% to 3%, unexpected shutdowns, camera and flash almost not working.
The flash doesn't work, only turns on one led and the. Shuts down, sometimes both but then shutdown instantly, he camera (when bat is lower than 30%) looks like a CRT TV
I've flashed the stock rom xt1644, and still having the same problems.
Any suggestion?
Edit* it wasn't hardware problems, battery was uncalibrated, I followed these steps

Ok, but only rooting the phone won't cause such behavior. I know iPhones, Nokia, Blackberry etc. with similar problems and after opening that, the moisture indicators were red or metal/parts was corroded,that's why I'm asking. Even dropping a phone can bring problems weeks later (iPhone 4 sound chip, wasn't soldered good). And as it seems you're the only one around here with this problem, I guess it's a hardware failure. (sorry for the story )
For understanding: you only root the phone to, nothing else(flashing something)

Was your phone new and the package sealed?
Is it only when the battery runs low? Mine did the thing with dropping from like %80 down to 30 then shut down and would turn back on at be like 44. If I used camera it shut the off off and sometimes calls too. I was told to try calibrations and resets and didn't help. Turns out I had to get the battery replaced by moto.

Had this same exact problem with this same exact model of the G4 plus on the stock rom (unrooted). I sent it in for a warranty repair and it came back to me with the same issue. I ended up doing a warranty exchange where you put down a deposit and they send you a new phone and release the deposit back to you when they receive the defective device back. I don't think you would be able to swap the device if you unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device since that voids the warranty but I can confirm that this is most definitely a defective hardware issue you are experiencing.

Ok... So this problem can also be present before you do flashing. Imagine the guy did what I think(dropped it, moisture, bad hardware cause lenovo manufacture it on a Monday), he recognized it, then sell it maybe with bootloader locking and you're happy who bought it now. That's possible!

I'm just curious, did you root using SuperSU? If so, which version did you use? I ask you this because you keep saying that all these issues propped up AFTER you rooted your device.
Battery charge jumps can be caused because of battery calibration issues, which you can recalibrate using a plethora of apps available (by using root access), or the old fashioned way.
I didn't respond till now because of your camera issues — CRT stumped me.

Issues with proximity sensor and LED notification light

From the past 3 days it seems that my proximity sensor has stopped working.
The first day the screen wouldnt go off during a call and on the second day the screen would stay off during a call and not come on even after pressing the power button. 3rd day(i.e today) the same problem of screen not coming on persisted so i went in Safe mode and made a call and now it would just stay on like the 1st day. For the time being i am going to disable my proximity sensor but i need help to restore it to normal please.
p.s- this problem started after i dropped my phone a couple of time from the couch but i use armor case.
Notification light -
Soon after the proximity issue my notification light started acting weird. When put in charge, it keeps on blinking even with no notifications.
What do i do for these issues?
Aaaaaaaand another one...
Turn your phone in for warranty, this is the only option at the moment.
The motherboard is too thin to repair yourself.
A lot of sensors seem to fail these days.
May i ask, does your lightsensor (adaptive display) work fine? because all the sensor issue's seem somewhat related.

No my adaptive brightness is not working.
And my warranty period is over. Does it cost a bomb to repair if the phone is not in warranty?

Jupp i know, bought myself a new Moto Z Play.
Got it with 50% discount because my work arranged something with one of our customers, so every empolyee got 50% discount on a new smartphone
So for €200 i own a a Moto Z Play now, and i love the Amoled display
