Hello guys.. just want to know the possible reason why my note3 sensors no longer working.. i do not even know when it starts.. i remember that i upgraded from jb to kitkat and after a weeks i noticed the problem.. is it because of the upgrade..?

Do you have XPrivacy installed and are blocking the sensors? If not I guess if they are failing the test you could flash NC2 over and that might get them working.

I tried flashing stock nc2 but same issue.. im not sure if its a hardware problem or a software.
Why are they failing all at the same time..?

Do they not work at all or do they work sometimes and then fail at the same time? Also have you tried any 3rd party sensor apps besides the built-in tests?

I already tried third party apps but the issue still exists.. what is the possible problem..?
Sounds like hardware is the next place to check. Feel comfortable taking your phone apart?
I had to to get my proximity sensor working as a bunch of crud (mostly pocket lint) made its way into the sensor pocket. There are many tear down videos for this device.
Good luck!
Did it pass the Sensor Hub Test? *#0*# test near the end of the page.

I know you said you reflashed stock, but you might want to try reflashing with the PIT file as well. That will repartition your phone and is probably the most you can do software-wise at this point...if you still have problems you may be better off sending it in for repair unless you're comfortable taking your phone apart yourself.
Download the 4 Odin files in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703006 (ignore the home file) and the PIT file. In this case you do want repartition checked in Odin...it will check it automatically when you load the PIT file just make sure to leave it checked.
This will wipe everything so backup what you want to save first.
Hope this works for you bro and it's not a hardware issue

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and I got my Galaxy Note a few weeks ago.
And today I tried to root it, but I think somehow it went wrong, now my Note could be turnned on, but the screen just stayed black. No logo, just sounds. The two 'buttons' below would light up too.
Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Okay, I tried to root it using a pre-rooted rom, N7000DXLC2 and some md5 and tar file that came along with it, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly, my actual baseband is LR1 and the kernel is LR2.
At first, after attempting to root it, I kinda of did it successfully, I reached the green android alien place, but there's alot of pop up saying that this progress ended (something like that, couldn't remember.)
So I decided, to find and download my actual baseband's stock rom and try to use Odin to flash it, it succeeded, but the problem is, my screen is staying black this time, But I know that my phone is still working, just that the screen is not displaying anything..
Are you able to get into download mode?
When you tried to flash the rooted ROM in ODIN was it a 3 part file or a single file?
Did you setup ODIN correctly as per instructions on this site?

Ok -
You can get back into download mode - what happens when you try to flash a stock GB ROM in PC Odin, *Use a 1 part file from here*

Read it carefully and do it at your own risk if you decide to flash it.
I don't think it'll work.. I'm already back on my actual baseband, its just the problem with the screen, its black and it won't display anything. My phone is still working.

Are you on a complete STOCK setup? or custom kernel?
This is very odd - sounds like possible hardware fault if your phone is working but no screen - You definitely flashed the correct ROM yeah? I would still give a try to reflashing the STOCK GB via PC Odin..
Question - When you goto Download Mode - Do you see the Android Guy? If so there's something wrong with your flashed ROM and not a screen fault so a re-flash should resolve that..
+1, Definitely not a screen problem if you are able to go in download mode & see the green guy.
Just try to reflash via PC odin a GB ROM.

First sorry for my english.
If your phone is open but screen is not open. TRY following steps.
Flash this rom with Odin ( N7000XXLC1_N7000OXALC1_N7000XXLB2_HOME.tar )
Kernel: CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LC1-v5.3-CWM5
if loading stop to hidden.img dont worry. try again loading rom.
i think solving the problem.

@OP, I think what messed up your phone is you inadvertently flash either a wrong kernel..(a kernel meant for GB but your already on ICS or the other way around as well)
had the same issue you have before... **** I flashed a kernel not design for our NOTE....
After that, my phone just stays black.. but I could actually go to download mode... so what I did? Flashed it back to GB stock and work my way from there...
Hope that helps something bud
Cheers!

1. Go to Setting, Apps, find camera app and clear cache and data
If that doesnt work
Install this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moblynx.cameraics I find it better than stock camera and it works flawlessly.

it doesn't work. tried it many times still not working always closing.
tried the apps same thing can use the rear camera but front hangs at close.
what should i do next?
Not sure what to do then.. if you cleared cache and data, tried an app camera from the play store... I really wouldnt know what else to do then.
try a third party app like what isipseven suggested. if not, might want to consider reflashing the phone with a kdz file. or bring down to your service centre
users who have ROOT and problem with touchscreen, try test this fix whether it works or not.
go to system\usr\idc, delete clearpad_pen.idc
in clearpad.idc, delete all the code on # Touch Filter
save and reboot.
This method fixed the problem in your phone?
somehow it reduce it.
Then is not a completely fix. Did you tried the .136 FW?

Hi, I noticed that the video playback doesn't always work. For example if I try to play Facebook videos I get an error, same with YouTube. Sometimes even the video recording doesn't work! I tried to wipe System/Data/Cache/Internal Storage and re-install the firmware.
I'm now on 23.1.A.1.28 debloated by @moly82 .
I've Unlocked Bootloader.
Can someone help me? Thank you.

The new Video Update is kind of buggy atm, you can always downgrade by downloading the APK online and assuming you guys have Root access you can push it to system/priv-app/ and give rw-r-r permissions. Or you could uninstall the update in Settings>Apps therefore restoring the App to its factory version
New update doesn't change anything but name so downgrading won't hurt unless you prefer the name "Video" instead of "Movies"
I have the exact same problem gifs on relay for reddit also stop playing, a reboot fixes it temporarily but it always comes back, would love to know a permenant solution. Latest rooted stock.

Thank you for the answer! I've installed a debloated version of the firmware. So I can't see Video app listed in the menu. Which is the exact name I should see in Setting->Apps?
Did this work and if so, what version did you use? Thanks.

I tried to push a couple of old versions to the system but after a couple of hours or a day later the problem came back. Does anyone have an idea what the culprit could be. Kernel maybe? Tried flashing other roms to no avail. Now I'm on 5.1.1 stock slim version. I have an unlocked bootloader btw without drm keys. (which I lost because i'm the stupid noob who didn't check his backup...)Anyone ideas?

As far as is know the problem started with the stock kernel. I then flashed this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/d5803-23-2-1-62-slim-t3127115 and the Advanced kernel. Anyway, i will flash the stock kernel just to be sure. If that doesn't change anything can i try to restore it with Sony Companion and start over?

I figured that much.. It's a weird problem. It got me thinking it maybe hardware related. I will try the kernel end the restore and if it doesn't work i just have to live with it. Thank you very much for the help.
Sorry to revive this older thread, but did you find a solution to the issue? I am experiencing the very same problem on my Z2 phone with stock ROM + unlocked bootloader and root. I was suspecting a HW issue (maybe combined with unlocked BL), but there were few other users with same issue. I am going to place an order for Z3 compact and would hate to face the annoying "camera not available" or "video can't be played" messages again.
I had TWRP installed. Recently installed Euphoria-OS-1.1-20150414 but like other 5.1.1 roms it was having issues with the Double Tap to Wake. Euphoria-OS-1.1-20150528 came out and was supposed to fix the Double Tap to Wake issue. It does but it introduced a new bug. I can no longer get a GPS lock on my phone. Tried [5.1.1][39A]cm-12-20150518-temasek, but again no luck. I reflashed back to a VS980-39A-LP-OTA-Debloated but the GPS is still not working.
Finally got sick of not having GPS and just went straight stock with LG's Flash tool and the VS98012B_00.kdz and then did OTA upgrades back to 39A. Not rooted anymore, straight stock. Still no freaking GPS?! "GPS Test" app says "No Fix" and shows that there are "28 In View" but none "In Use"... GPS was working before the initial flash. I am only trying this in "Device only Mode" as I want to make sure that the GPS itself is working.
I would love to get a copy of your working /system/etc/gps.conf
and any ideas that you have to get this going again...
Apparently you joined the group of the VZW G2 with GPS issues. If you returned to pure stock and still nothing, can't think of anything else. Did you did anything physically to the phone?

Not anything differently than I had done before. I just found it very strange that it quit working when I went to Euphoria and now I cannot get it back. Flashing with KDZ file erases the entire device correct? Nothing should be able to make it through?

It's not Euphoria that caused the problem. I tried Euphoria before, and my GPS works fine right now (no need for .kdz).
It depends on which option you choose when going the .kdz route. If you choose "Normal Flash" mode, then it will not wipe data, but if you choose "CSE Flash" mode, then it will wipe everything.
Currently I'm running my own build of PAC MAN Rom, and everything is working fine, maybe you should try that Rom out.

The newest Euphoria update seems to have no lock for GPS on several users devices. I fully do not think it broke it permanently.
I did a normal Flash. I will try the "CSE Flash" mode and see if that helps. Thanks!

I dont think that it just died. I know that the fuse for locked/unlocked bootloader is one way, but cant be this case. That rom touched something and hopefully can be reverted. How? No clue
