I have had problems during calls, as the telephone would not lock screen when close to the face. I went to investigate the issue, and apparently there is a manufacturer menu to diagnose the sensors (*#0*# from phone app). I was shocked to see that not only the proximity sensor is not working, but also the light and compass. Here is a screenshot of the problem:

}
Things I have tried:
Remove the case (not a magnetic case) and restart the phone multiple times (the phone has no screen protector)
Calibrate the compass by rotating the phone multiple times through the 3-axis
Calibrate the compass by doing a '8' movement multiple times
Do you think it might be solved by doing a factory reset, or are there other solutions available?
Right after factory reset, sensors were back to normal. 2 weeks have passed, and they became non operative again. I can restart the phone as many times as I want to, and they don't come back to live.
Nobody experiencing the same problem?
Same problem here. Please help me. ???
I have the same problem with my A8.

Hey guys,
I had recently taken my 8525 / hermes apart to fix the white screen problem.
As I had fixed the problem, the magnet that triggers landscape mode, had came unglued from wherever it was.
I had contacted HTC and tech support, but they are unable to tell me where this small rectangular magnet goes.
Does anyone have a clue or a parts repair Hermes / 8525 that they can help me with.
I need to get this fixed.
I appreciate anyones help.
Just getting a couple of pics for you please wait
Mike
Landscape magnet
You are a lifesaver.
I really appreciate it.
just wondering, how did you solve the white screen problem?
i had it months ago but i got a replacement under warranty...luckily
Landscape magnet
The problem occurs when the ribbon cable becomes loose.
All you have to do is take the unit apart and reseat the cable.
I've taken mine apart soo many times lately, its and easy process if it happens again.

The band is easily visible. It explains my problem. The rest of the touchscreen works fine.
Only noticed over the past week or so that typing on the keyboard in certain spots while in landscape causes two keys to always be hit instead of one.
I remember reading a thread earlier were people had many problems with the touchscreen. Should I ask the warranty service for an s4 or 2013 moto x instead? I don't want this happening again.
Edit:
Them seems to explain it PERFECTLY:

I've had this issue happen to two LG G2s, if you look at the dead band it seems to line up perfectly with the power button on the back of the phone. It seems to me that pressing the power button is putting force on the digitizer from the back and 'killing' that section of the touchscreen. I've swapped the entire internals of a phone to a new digitizer that did not exhibit the issues so I don't see how it could be software related.

I'm not getting another G2.
Hi, I have a Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus (TB-X704L), latest firmware:

I noticed a bad touchscreen behaviour when I tap or swipe in the top area (near the top edge - where there are the 2 speakers). If I try to draw a line slowly, it often results in a dotted or strange zig-zag line. This means that, for example, when I scroll a pdf i get a very uncomfortable behaviour. I made ad ad example:
(I also wrote here to receive feedbacks, with no luck.)
It happens with every kind of app.
I tried factory reset and wipe cache, but the problem remained, so i contacted Lenovo assistance. I received (after a month) my tablet from under warranty repair service. They changed my screen with a new one, they wrota "changer screen and passed gerenal testing" but the problem is still here.
Do you also notice that problem? Did you solve it in any way?
Please, answer also if you don't have the problem so i can establish if this is a faulty device or not.
Thank you very much.
Worked for few months (with good accuracy +/- 0.5 psi) and this happened.
Very dangerous to rely on.

Wrong forum. What happened.
Receiver still showing readings even when the transmitters have no batteries.
Last known reading maybe ?? Maybe let the pressure reading go to zero with sensor working on bench. Might need to shake them to activate the transmitters.

I tried shaking it. Remove and reinstall batteries. Does nothing. Use different TPMS app, still same (stucked) readings.
Could this be pre-programmed to do so?
Maybe the sensors went bad? I hope that doesn't happen with mine, I got the one with the internal sensors.
Well they usally only activate when they detect movement above a certain threshold. The easiest way to tell if the acutall work is driving a bit, stopping the car and then removing ones of the caps. The app should start alarm you about the pressure loss. It should show 0
I've looked all over XDA and not found a topic like this.
I have a unit with the screen horizontally flipped and can not set it back to normal, tried several apps and factory settings but none of them seem to make the fix. has anyone have experience with a solution to this issue.

What did the seller suggest when contacted for support?
Post details of what happened to trigger the change, and what has been tried to resolve it, including any related posts from the forums you may have found
Thanks for your reply.
It is installed in a Jeep Wrangler, it rained the day before it happened, next morning I saw a drop of water in the screen, so I guess a drop got into the unit and may have corrupted electronics or something inside it, other than that the unit is running well. I read somebody recommends installing an app called "Rotation control" and other "screen rotation" but even that they work and rotate the screen, they won't get to the landscape screen I need.
Rotating your screen would not be the solution. Your screen is mirrored.
Get in contact with the seller and ask him how to fix that.
