N DP5: Sensors issues still there

Hello,
With DP5 (it was the same on DP4), after a while (it can be a day or an hour), some of the phone sensors stop working: no auto-rotation and no ambient display. Reboots fix the issue until it happens again.
The improvment between DP4 and 5 is that auto-brightness is not affected by the bug anymore.
I saw some threads on reddit and other sites about the issue and a few android bug reports but quite nothing on XDA except on thread with 1 reply.
Some Android dev had replied on a bug report that this is a known bug and that the fix was ready for the next update (ie DP5) but the bug is still there.
So do you also have the issue? Any ideas where it comes from?
Some people believe it's Pokemon GO-related, what do you think?
Thanks
(I know that most of people play Pokemon GO anyway so this could mean nothing but issue started on DP4 it seems, and Pokemon GO released when quite everybody had switched to DP4.)

Seeing how it's not an official release it is just speculation by the dev that a fix would be pushed by preview 5. For whatever reason that was not achievable. The official release is more likely going to be aimed at fixing as much of the current known issues as possible.

Gyro dont in 7 beta

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.

Pokemon Go breaking accelerometer/gyroscope on Nexus 6P?

After playing Pokemon Go for a while my Nexus 6P accelerometer/gyroscope stops working. The phone doesn't auto rotate anymore and I can't use the AR option on the app for compass. The only way to fix this is by rebooting the phone. Anyone else having the same problem? I've found people with the same issue (Pokemon Go + Nexus 6P) on this thread on Google forums:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/ytCwNnOJEaM
EDIT
I'm currently using the latest 7.0 Nougat Preview

Yes, but it's a Nougat problem. It's fine on MM and it'll probably be fixed for the release version.

Should be fixed in a future build

That's awesome! Thanks for the answer.

Not quite Pokémon Go related, but with the new August Security patch update from Google, anyone else experience Auto Rotate being slow to respond? As with previous patch updates, I didn't have this problem.

ATT: New Update Available (12/4/17)

It is November 1 security patch. It is a 157.75MB download. The update brings us to version N950USQS2BQK2.

Just got it about 20 minutes ago.
Here is the current update details:

Baseband version: N950USQS2BQK2
Kernel version: 4.4.21-12461033
Build number: NMF26X.N950USQS2BQK2
Build fingerprint: 7.1.1/NMF26X/N950USQS2BQK2

The updates
What's changing: Android device security updates, including BlueBorne fix (on SPLs September 1 or later)

Just got my alert for it too. But I have learned, the hard way, to wait for others to go first.

Just make sure you uninstall any Substratum themes before you take the update.
Also ALWAYS have a good reliable connection. Bad service is the number one way an OTA gets botched up. It fragments the download and can cause all sorts of wonky stuff.
Just did the download myself. Installed fine. No issues.
Camera has a new live focus helper... Seems a bit useless, but I guess if people were having big issues with it then it might be helpful.

Also just for anyone who is interested

I updated about an hour ago without issue, but I had that camera feature before today. It appeared after I did a factory reset about two weeks ago.

Anyone know if this had the KRACK fix in it? Verizon's got this in their update along with the Nov Sec update and Live Focus update, just last week .

I've had a issue with the gallery since the update before this one. When scrolling through it randomly jumps back up or is almost unresponsive to my touches. The only way to scroll smoothly is by using the blue scroll button on the side. It's incredibly frustrating! I've done a factory reset and and it still occurs, even after this update.
It only occurs in the gallery app btw

In the settings menu of the Gallery app, are the first two settings turned on? I think this happened on mine a while back (although I'm not sure I'm remembering correctly) and I turned off the Samsung cloud sync and image analysis and it stopped. If this doesn't work, I must be thinking of something else. Sorry.
Edit: I have all the options in settings turned off and my gallery seems ti be working smoothly.

I'm from Germany by the way, were are you from guys? Would be interesting to see if devices from a certain area have the same issues.
This ****ty software feels so beta its unbelievable.
