Hi all,
I apoligise in advance if this has been posted before but it's 4:30am and I don't have anymore time to search for this problem.
I've noticed ever since I've updated my phone to Darky's ROM (starting in dec 2010 with v8) my proximity sensor hasn't been turning my screen off during calls. I'm not sure if this is rom related or not but I ran some tests tonight (using SGS tools and sensor test/z-devicetest) and in all those apps my sensor doesn't seem to respond.
Does this mean it's broken?? Or am i missing some drivers or something??
I'm currently running DarkyROM v10.1.
TIA
Edit: found out that it is indeed working, however only when a bright light shines onto the sensors. Is this normal??
Hi all,
I have a i9500 phone.
I have this firmware installed onto my phone
I9500XXUEMJ5_I9500ODDEMJ5_I9500DDUEMJ5_HOME
2 days ago i got a push update, and then i updated my phone.
And then i see that automatic rotate isn't working, because the shealth walking mate wasn't counting the steps.
So i tried rotating my phone didn't work.
I did *#0*# to check the sensors and see that
Accelerometer sensor is showing 0 for everything
Proximity Sensor same
Barometer Sensor same
Light sensor working
Gyroscope Sensor same showing 0
Magnetic sensor same showing 0
I did a hard reset and didn't solve my problem, i then flashed the same firmware again and still didn't work.
Can you guys help me out?
Can't go to samsung tech since i didn't buy the phone their store and i'm from south america (Country Suriname) also

I tried to flash the latest version of arrow rom, and all the sensors worked for like 5 minutes then it stopped again.
I flashed the same rom again and same thing happening again.
After upgrading to DP4 directly from Marshmallow all my sensors have stopped working. Ambient light sensor isnt working, gyroscope isnt working, proximity sensor isnt working. Having bad luck with these N beta's, the last update stopped my device from booting up and now this update has messed all my sensors

Me too! I wish I could say I've found a fix. That's one reason I'm looking around here. But it is kinda nice to see that I'm not alone. Lol.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app
I downloaded app to see why my gyro is weird and there i can se that gyro or orientation does not work and it did before joining beta.
Is this a known issue?
Can i solve it somehow?
I got ota yesterday so a pretty new build i guess
I am not rotted i havet it all original
I've had a similar if not the exact same issue as of obtaining this device. I enrolled in the beta around the third Dev preview (immediately after I purchased the phone, it's still fairly new as of writing this), at the end of the fourth preview I started having the same issue, gyroscope just spontaneously stopped working. At first I thought it was a hardware issue after doing some research (apparently some Nexus 6P users gyroscopes are just getting stuck or something along the lines of that?? And they'll report it working again after a few good smacks to the thigh.) I would have assumed this to be the issue but I found that rebooting the device actually fixed it temporarily, but after a few hours it stops working again. I'm now using the fifth and final dev preview and it's still an issue. The fact that rebooting fixes the issue (temporarily) and not smacking the phone around in my scenario leads me to believe this is a dev preview bug.
Yeah it looks like it. Never har trouble before but after updating ro beta it started.
Anyone know if this is a known bug?
its a known bug just restart your phone if gyro isnt working.
Hi, anybody can help me, my yd201 proximity sensor not working, i did everything flashing all rom on the forum to try fix this but it still doesn't work. (from 4.+ to the latest MM) with all firmware. i just trying full unroot my phone on root apps then wanna clean system apps using twrp so am try deleting root forder from latest twrp to clean everything, now proximity sensor not working what ever i do rotate, calling, and the biggest problem is back screen is not working too,. download sensor test from the market is working too(device sensor hardware not support on this phone)
please help me what should I do.. if anyone knows where can buy motherboard for yotaphone please give me the link. tnks.

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.)
