Camera not working, Touchscreen and accelerometer stop responding. - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK, like 6 months ago, my camera stopped working. Any application that tried to access the camera would force close or kick me back to the home screen. About a week later, it worked again for like a day, then stopped working again. I flashed different roms, but the problem remained. About 3 months ago, I switched to the JACHeroski rom, and my camera spontaneously worked again. After a couple of more weeks, it stopped working again. About a month ago, I switched to cyanogenmod, and the camera worked again. And now, again, it stopped working.
And now, I have encountered another problem. My touch screen stops responding to any input, and the accelerometer stop responding simultaneously at any random time. On some days, my phone works perfectly, on others, they stop working after a few hours, and on others, they stop working right after I turn my phone on. Sometimes, this happens while I am doing something on my phone. A reboot always fixes this problem, but it is annoying having to reboot my phone when the touch screen stops responding.
A few days ago, in an effort to fix all these issues, I unrooted my phone, and re-rooted, and re-installed the latest cyanogenmod. But the problems remain. I am pretty sure these are not hardware problems, not only because I never dropped or wet my phone, but because of all of these problems are occurring simultaneously.
Does anyone have any idea, no matter how time consuming, to fix any of these problems?

The camera issue is well known and due to a loose cable.

Hmm, I thought it was too much of a coincidence for the camera to work perfectly for a few weeks precisely when I flashed cyanogenmod, which I would think makes it a software problem. But then again, when my camera stopped working again, and I flashed cyanogenmod again, it did not fix the problem.

Mine is the same way. It works every now and then, but mostly doesn't work. I just haven't had time to take the phone apart and re-seat the camera FPC.

Flash Light ON even when phone is switched off.

Okay guys, This might sound unbelievable but it did happen! Not once but twice....
I had installed "Torch - Tiny Flashlight" app on my mobile, It worked fine for the first time but after some days i switched flash On and it was not getting Off, So I tried opening camera but camera could not connect. I switched off the phone and guess what Flash was still ON... Since I cannot remove battery only thing I could do is switch it On ... It booted and first thing I uninstalled the app. Went to camera app and Flash got Off... Everything was fine now and I thought it was because of this app. But now after some days I was trying to click photo with flash and exact same problem occurred.
Now I cleared camera data and now everything is working fine. But one thing here to notice was that Flash light was ON even with phone switched off!! I have never seen anything like this before.

[Q] Tilt to wake seems to have stopped working

For some reason, tilt to wake stopped working. I have no idea why. It was working fine yesterday morning in the metro, but stopped working during the day. The watch is paired with a HTC One M7, running a stock Sense ROM. I've converted the phone to GPE back in December and the watch worked well, but now I reinstalled a stock ROM because GPE was draining my battery real quick and, again, the watch worked well for a couple of days, but now, nope. I tried resetting the watch, but no result. Is there any other way to figure out what the problem is without reinstalling every piece of software? I mean, I'd like to test the sensors to see if they have a problem or smth and if they turn up to be good, well, I might contact Google cuz something's not working. Yes, the tilt to wake option is enabled in the companion app.
So, does anyone have an idea of what I can do? I couldn't find any info on any forum
Thanks in advance :3

ALL sensors stopped working??

Guys, a couple weeks ago I noticed my accelerometer stopped working (would no longer rotate images). I didnt think much of it, maybe an app was causing issues, etc. Later I realized my auto brightness was going wacky. So then I looked into it and it seemed NONE of my sensors worked. I went into the service menu *#0*# and in the sensor button, no values change.
So then I stumbled upon a thread for the Spring Note 3 where I had to move a file into system/lib and give rw--r--r permissions. I rebooted and everything worked. I thought I was good
But nope. A day later and everything is back to not working. The fact they worked temporarily makes me think its software related. Perhaps I installed an app that is causing issues, or accidently deleted a file needed. Something like that?
Or is it just that the hardware is dead plain and simple? The phone is on 4.4.2 Kitkat, NC2, rooted
Thanks!
Just to add, I haven't touched the OS/firmware in at least 5-6 months. This issue started just a few weeks ago, seemingly for no reason.

touch screen not working properly.

Hey guys, my touch screen is acting really weird. multiple clicks, sometimes stops working at all so I have to block my phone and wake it so it works. Sometimes it works right for 10 minutes, sometimes every damn second. It is a real pain.
I have taken it appart to check the screen flex cables but they were both perfectly tight.
Any help?? It is becoming a problem and maybe one day it will stop working at all
Do you have Facebook app installed ? If you do uninstall it and see if the problem is still there,i have the same problem,but when i uninstalled the app it happens less often and its not that bad when it happens.
gonna try that. But I dont think thats the problem because when I tried flashing new roms the problem persisted even when in TWRP

Various problems EMUI 9.1

Ok so today I have found out some different problems with my phone and I wonder if somebody happened to acknowledge them as well.
1. If I am using my phone will charging, the touchscreen goes insane. If I press the back button, all three buttons are "pressed" in the same time. It doesn't respond anyway normal to my commands. I thought it is a problem from the charger, I switched to normal charging and the same.
2. When I activated the wifi after plugging the phone off, a voice in Polish or something said something for like 5 seconds. A robot voice. Weird and creepy.
3. It seems laggy that never before. SwiftKey seems laggy and daily use as well.
Any of you had those problems?
1. Nope
2. Nope
3. Never use SwiftKey .
I actually had something similar to 1 after the latest update (.328) but reboot resolved it for me and never happened since.
1.May be a hardware problem
2.Ghost in your phone that seems to be polish
3.Factory reset Swiftkey
now there is a problem. since updating to 325, I found the wifi is off every morning when i woke up. Not a big issue, but I'm getting quite annoyed after 3, 4 days needing to turn on the wifi every morning.
