I have Note8. It has a very strange sensors error, as below:
- All sensors, from proximity sensor, light sensor, to GPS, iris scanner, and all the other sensors do not work at all.
- In the app like Phone INFO Samsung, CPU-Z or AIDA64, in the Sensors section, all sensors do not work.
- The Auto Brightness function does not work (due to the light sensor), the brightness of the AOD screen is also not adjustable.
- When making a phone call and move the phone close to the ear, the screen does not turn off due to proximity sensor.
- Auto Rotation function is not working (due to rotation sensor).
- Google Maps shows inaccurate location. Other apps that rely on GPS (such as the speedometer app) are completely not working.
- The iris scanner function does not work either.
It was about two weeks ago. I've Wiped the cache, restart the phone but does not make sense.
Yesterday it suddenly returned to normal, I don't know why.
But today - while I'm typing this post - all sensors suddenly do not work again.
Any idea about the error and how to fix it?
Thank you guys
Best advice I can think of is to factory reset and see if that alleviates the problem.
If you did not do anything firmware-related, or you did not drop or submeged your device, the best you can do is to make a warranty claim, pure and simple, if you have no way to make such claim, well, next time you should consider getting a device from an official source
I've read other users have had same problem. Ones I read said it was motherboard issue had to have sammy replace it.
Thank you guys
There is also built-in sensor test. Open dialer and dial *#0*#
I noticed a problem when I was playing Asphalt (racing game on me Note 8). I am unable to use the Tilt controls to move the scar.
Testing out the Sensors using *#0*# at the dialer revealed that all the SENSORS was faulty.
I reset the whole phone just now. The issue is still there with the sensor. As expected Auto rotation doesn't work.
Running the latest version 8.0.
I recently changed my motherboard (under warranty) 3 months back cos something was faulty. Seems it may be another motherboard issue.
Anyone else in this thread solved the issue?
Hey everyone I'm facing the same problem. All sensors stoped working but they were working before on 7.1.1 and i updated my device to oreo and realized all sensors stoped
Then i got another updated for about 900mb i thought maybe this update will fix them and also that update said tha after updating the user cannot downgrade to nougat but after updating the problem still exsist. Please if anyone can help i also try to flash same oreo firmware with odin but doesn't fixed the sensors
Hello i have issue with Le2 x522.
Phone seems to have wrong working sensors.
For now its LSM6DS3 - Its accelerometer and gyroscope
In accelerometer menu X axis seems to be reversed so when i rotate phone on one side screen gets rotated in oposite.
Also orientation sensor looks pretty off.
I have tried google maps trick, also tired MIUI9 diagnostic menu calibration but it didn't work(punched phone few times in area of camera too).
Ended up with reflashing SmallEUI by Auriel(stock kernel) and still its not working.
Any ideas how to solve that issue?

I'm not sure about this method:
in miui 9 thread for le 2 by sagarmakhar, in the 2nd post, it was about volte, but involved a thing about sensors. according to him, wipe persist from his recovery, then flash stock rom and then copy the 'sensors-settings' into /persist/sensors/ (I don't remember the folder now, please refer to that post) and reboot....May work, i don't think that it can brick your device but try at your own risk:fingers-crossed: Good luck
Hi guys since i installed miui on mi mi a2, i lost the automatic rotation, i don't know how can i get it back, i came back to stock, installed pixel experience and other roms but the automatic rotation keeps not working ,
the camera wasn't working too but i installed gcam mod and it started to work but idk what can i do with the automatic rotation thx.
This has happened even with my phone
My phone compass goes crazy when i turn the phone face down horizontally. Compass calibration goes crazy and also have some problem with navigation.
Cpu z shows 2 magnetosensors and 1 of them is aleay uncalibrated. Is this a hardware issue?
I read that persist.img might be corrupted when downgraded to miui 10 but I am on 11.0.3 global and never downgraded. Should I go to warranty?

There are 2 mi 9 lite, but one of them has a front camera with hazy and antlers. I have tried twrp and many roms which are broken. I try fastboot rom, try persist.img, but I don't know if it writes. Is there any solution for this?
the sensor of the broken front camera is the original .I suspect the camera software is corrupted, how to fix this problem?
