I've been having a great deal of trouble with all the sensors on my Galaxy Tab S2 (except fingerprint). They all stopped working and in spite of factory reset, cache clearing etc would not reactivate. I didn't believe that a simultaneous hardware failure could take them all out at once so I eventually routed the tablet and flashed Poseidon ROM. This reactivated them for a while but then they failed again . They will occasionally come back after a reboot and usually work if I do a wipe and restore a nandroid backup but don't stay working for any extended length of time. Any thoughts anyone? I'm now thinking mother board?
I'm having they same issue, hope somebody could help...

Hello,
I've updated my SGS to Froyo via Kies a few days back. It all went smooth and dandy, my phone working correctly, no problem at all.
Two days ago I checked my phone's APN setting and couldn't find any, but restarting the phone fixed this problem.
Yesterday while I was working, my SGS suddenly restarted by itself, no problem with the restart, the phone was working correctly and I didn't give it much thought as I thought it was a glitch.
Today, about the same time yesterday, the phone restarted itself again. the restart went smoothly too, but I'm worried that this might foreshadow a bigger problem.
Does anybody have this experience? Will this restarts stop by itself? Did the problem became worse? Please if anybody has similar experience, do kindly share it here Thanks in advance!
Did you wipe data after installing Froyo? I experienced reboots on connecting power to phone (no matter if AC or USB) after upgrading. Restoring default settings from recover menu fixed that.
P.S.
backup first!
yep, did a factory reset and remove cache. i restored some apps from eclair though, via Titanium Backup. Thanks for reminding me though!
Hi,
Starting a couple days ago the camera app on my HTC One will not work. I keep getting the error "unable to start the camera." I have a stock build, recently (about a week ago) upgraded to 4.3.
Now, I have determined that it is not simply the main camera app that is not working as no app that uses the camera (snapchat etc.) work either.
I have tried many things to fix this issue so far, rebooting, clearing the cache, doing a full factory reset, attempting to open in safe mode. I have come to the conclusion that since none of these attempts worked that this either has to be an operating system/4.3 build issue (although I'm not sure this makes sense as I had a working camera for many days after upgrading and the factory reset did not help) or this is a hardware issue.
Has anyone else encountered this or have any suggestions? I have read a couple scarce threads where others had this issue but a soft reset usually solved it. My problem seems to be a lot more severe unfortunately.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
Are you fully stock?
However, if a factory reset haven't help you, you can only send to the warranty...
Tried searching around and have seen others with this issue but nothing has worked. Tried a clean flash of a rom and during the setup wizard its still broken.
I have pretty much done everything but done a clean flash of stock and i am gearing up to do that but i dont have high hopes.
are you using a custom kernel?

Nope...
its not that i just cant connect, its like the hardware is broken.
and just did a complete factory image flash.
still broken
I had this happen to my N6 last week. It started after running the battery completely flat so the green LED lit when I charged it. The fix having repeatedly wiping seemed to be draining battery completely again until the green LED lit when I charged it. It has worked fine ever since.

First contacted square trade as that is my insurance, they said contact Moto because it is still under warranty. Did that, Moto said they would replace it. I said i don't want to go without a phone and they said they can charge me 25 and put a 500 hold on my account but they would send the phone first. Said OK phone arrives on Tuesday.
Just as an FYI they did basically say did you factory reset it.... but that is all the trouble shooting.
If anyone is interested in my symptom. Wifi is just always stuck at "turning on" every once in a while it will be off. but when you try to turn it on it just gets stuck again.
When it is stuck you can not turn it off.

Might be worth an RMA. see my previous post.
Don't know if I'm a little too late to this post... .But it happened to my Nexus 6 too, tried everything, wipe cache, factory reset, root, delete /persist/wifi but nothing worked....
However, luck seems to be on my side when I went into Google Connectivity Services under Setting--> Apps... and wipe its cache and tried to disable it (but stopped before I did). Then reboot the phone once i wiped all the data from the Google Connectivity Services Apps and VIOLA! It's working now!
*EDIT... It worked for about an hour (allowing me to dl all the apps) but now it has failed again....
I have the same issue as soon and I unlock the bootloader
any ideas? Im going to root again the device and load a different to see if it makes any difference
I am experiencing this as well. Was working fine yesterday and when I tried to go to Android M Preview 3 this happened. Whats worse is that this is happening right after I switched from Unlimited Data on TMo to Project Fi with 3GB. Making this even more frustrating is that Project Fi support says the preview images are now compatible with Project Fi. Isn't that something they should be telling people up front?!
I'm having the same issue on marshmalow, it suddenly started to happen some weeks ago.
First times was solved with phone reboot.
Then was required to clean cache before restart
Now I've tried reclutance suggestion (delete data from google connectivity services and reboot but the problem persist?
I'm using 6.0.1 stock rom without root
I don't want to perform a factory reset
Any suggestion?
here too...close the wifi
All tried doesn't work,
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache (via fastboot as I do not have a custom recovery neither unlocked the boot or root, my phone is completely original)
Also tried to delete wifi data
Any suggestion?
RMA
I'm continuing to have issues with my Motorola Nexus 6 phone.
It is running stock android 6.0.1
I never unlocked it or rooted (Sadly cause If i do so I were able to backup my apps and settings with titanium backup and restore it before a full device reset )
The problem started some weeks ago.
First symptom was that i was unable to enter on Settings -> Data usage (Every time receives an "unfortunately, settings has stopped" message)
Then some days have difficult to connect to wifi or disconnect (at that moment I didn't investigate the issue, just retry considering the issue was on router side)
After some time I realize that the problem was on the phone, specially cause it started to stuck turning on wifi, but for some days just turning off phone and turning it on again solves the issue.
With the time it becomes more and more frequent and turning it off and on didn't solve anything so I've reboot into recovery mode and perform a clear cache but it doesn't solve the issue.
Looking here and at other forums found that this issue is really common and some people solves it trough ADB with "adb shell pm clear com.android.settings" I've tried it but it didn't solve anything.
Even when many people didn't solve it with a factory reset I want to try it, but I need to be able to backup one app data (If could backup everything will be the best but at least need to backup blockchain app (Also have an issue with them as provider and couldn't log in from another device or website, just this device has a session already approved and open)
Any suggestion?
I've upgraded/downloaded to almost any possible rom and the problem is still here
Looking on forums found that is a very common issue since marshmallow in many devices (Specially Nexus)
Most people couldn't fix it but some could.
the problem is with devices macaddress that shown 02:00:00:00:00:00 and get stuck turning on
there are solutions in forums that seems to be a little bizarre like drain battery to 0 and full recharge (This one works for me once)
,others like deleting Google connectivity services cache, or deleting /persist/wifi folder completely
But I found one for nexus 5 who replaces the full /persist partition with a dump and edit the files and permissions with macaddress information.
This seems to have logic and provides an explanation about why the problem persist after, factory reset or rom changing so I want to try it in nexus 6.
Could someone provide me a dump of it?
There is an app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...nam.partitions, that makes the process of making a partition backup easy. The persist partition is on /dev/block/mmcblk0p26
Thanks in advance
Did you solve your problem? Because I have the same. Did you try to change Mac address on device?
Hi, I've got a TMO Galaxy Note 4 for Christmas (It was a hand me down, not brand new). Now, the camera worked fine before I used it, then I was given the optional software update, not knowing that I couldnt ever downgrade, and that there'd be a camera error. Now, I've tried clearing data, force stopping, rebooting, wiping all cache and data in recovery, and even trying root methods by swapping out the rooms (CM13 let me use the front camera, the only camera funtioning). At this time, that is my only issue, and I'm not sure why the back cam cannot connect. If any additional information is needed, please let me know and I'll tell you as much as I can.
This just started happening to me, did you find a solution?
Hi,
A while back I posted about my WiFi not turning on... Somehow it sorted itself out, but now the problem has reoccured.
Here's how it begins...
I was on OmniRom and my N6 started rebooting itself. It wouldn't stay on any longer than 5 minutes before restarting. Because I use my phone for work I jumped on the computer and flashed stock 5.1.1 via fastboot. Full clean wipe, system, user data, modem, etc. Afterwards I had no WiFi. I didn't think much of it as I was at work and would deal with it when I got home. When I got home I tried a simple factory reset, didn't work, another clean flash of 6.0, didn't work, a clean flash of cm12, didn't work, multiple recoveries, patches and kernels, didn't work. After several hours I knew there was something else wrong. After trying a few apps and researching for hours on end I have come to a dead end. I have dealt with relying on mobile data for 2 months but now I'm desperate as my work is about to switch over to fully digital automation using a VPN based intranet site that all employers will need to use which we can only access via WiFi on our phones.
The only time I have been able to get WiFi to turn on its after deleting out the WiFi folder in system/data/misc/WiFi, this worked only twice both times only for a few minutes. It no longer works by doing that at all.
Suggestions?
Cooked? Or recoverable?
Many thanks in advance for anyone that can possibly shed some much needed light on my situation.

Try re-flashing your radio? If you do a full reset from the factory images, part of the process will reflash the radio.

Modem/Radio... same thing
tried i think about 3 or 4 stock images
Think i may have a corrupted EFS partition.
Bump.. If anyone can let me know and confirm my suspicions that the EFS partition has had it in or any chance of reviving it?

Most likely your wifi chip is dead or dying. Happened to my N5. I lost bluetooth functionality as well since they both were on the same chip. Mine got so bad that it got locked in a state where even if the phone was off, it would drain battery and heat up the area where that chip was.
Warranty it. Just easier.
