Hello everyone in XDA
This is my first post, but I've already used this blog to solve many of my problems in the past, and for that I thank everyone.
But currently I'm facing a kind of problem I don't find a solution for. What happens is that gyroscope and accelerometer aren't working properly. Most of the times I boot my phone, it switches properly from portrait to landscape mode, and even if I use de CPU-Z app i find they are all outputting readings properly. But after about half an hour none of them outputs nothing at all. Two situations that may be hidding some solutionable behaviour:
1- if I let the sensors-reading app open in memory, the sensors keep outputting data;
2- when the sensors stop outputting data, all the lines in the sensors tab of CPU-Z are blank, however if I force the use of the light sensor it suddently appears the output of its data.
Currently I'm using a nightly of CM, but in the past month I had still the stock rom, which presented the same problem.
I've already thought it could be hardware problem, but I find this inconsistencies somewhat awkward and irregular.
Hi!
I am facing problems with the orientation sensors (accelerometer and/or gyroscope), because installing several applications to test them (or use games), it is clearly observable, that they are a bit off (with enough to be disturbing when required). For example, games or tests that simulate a ball, and my phone is laying on a horizontal table, the ball rolls quickly to the edge of screen. This happens as well with the built-in tests in the "service menu" of the phone, for accelerometer and gyroscope also.
Do you have any suggestions how could I calibrate these sensors globally (for every app)?
Thanks.

factory Reset ur phone and then use PC companion app to Repair Firmware...
this can wipe current data and install fresh firmware on ur device
:good:
Hi,
I have the same problem. Only the x axis of the accelerometer seems to be affected : it show a value around 1 instead of 0 while the phone is sitting flat. Y and Z display normal values.
All the software solutions I have tried have had no effect at all... It seems the built-in test reads raw data from the accelerometer. It is hard to imagine how this can be a hardware problem though...
Anyway, in my case I believe a software fix (x=x-1) would do the trick but I have no idea how to do such a thing ! Any help ?
@vekto : Have you solved the issue by any chance ?
Would anyone care to try the accelerometer tests and post their results ?
Typing *#*#7378423#*#* will get you on the service menu. The two significant tests are "accelerometer" and "gyroscope".
I'd post some screenshots myself but I'm not allowed yet...
I'm having the same problem now. It seems one axis is affected. Haven't found a way around so far. This is sad because it affects the images taken with Google Camera Sphere mode. The images are badly aligned together with glitches in between. My phone wasn't like this before.
Either a SW fault - might be able to calibrate with GPS Status & Toolbox app, for example - or a FW fault - and reflashing ROM might help (highly unlikely) - or HW fault - the sensor has moved on the board (which is a bad sign anyway, might be on the way to disconnecting itself).
I sent mine to Xperia Care and got it back with the accelerator fixed. Still unclear if it's a HW problem...
It came back with a white spot on the screen (near the power button) though... so I sent it back again
I'm also having issues with the gyroscope. Installed Bubble app to calibrate the gyro. It showed the gyro was of a couple of degrees. Unfortunately the bubble app calibration doesn't work in a game like Need for Speed. It's very difiicult to achieve good times in the game right now since I have to hold it tilted to the left to go straight ahead.
So if anyone has a fix or workaround... Please do post.
Same problem, Seems after factory reset whith wipe dalvik cache.
any solution?
02nd March 2017, my autorotate has completely stopped working, restart, safe-deposit and reset do not fix. Diagnostics show Gyroscope Light Sensor and accelerometer failed testing, 3 years of same issue, surely there must be a fix that works by now?? ( please note, " turning it off and on again " does not fix it )
Helps Please
I have the same issue. Since last week, gyro, accelerometer, light and proximity sensors stop working. I've tried reflashing stock ROM without success. I have not warranty (almost 3 years old), so I even try to disassemble , disconnect an reconnect every flex (I don't know exactly were the sensors are located on the board). After that I get almost 8 hours of fully functionally sensors and then, they stop working again, so I'm almost sure it's a hardware issue.
Same problem for 3 years
I'm just now getting around to doing something about this. As my power button stopped working I can't post requested screenshot without going to the pc. I have been shopping new (fall 2018) phones after having the Z3+ since release. In my research I'm finding the phone still is better than Samsung, LG, and the pixel3 for me because the 3.5mm phone jack is mandatory for me using my device with an i-rig midi requiring both that port and the USB at the same time. I'm going to do everything I can to keep using this phone till it falls to dust. It's one of 4 Sony I've bought since the day Z1 came out of t-mo. I look forward to testing solutions. :good:
Some time after my post, I bought a new jack/proximity sensor flex and replace it. This solved the issue, but weeks later, the bottom portion of the touch screen becomes unresponsive. May be I have done something wrong... may be programmed obsolescence...
Hi I'm facing a problem of my gyroscope I don't know which one is not working a gyroscope or accelerometer. My gyroscope is so delay when I play pubg mobile and I can't also calibrate my Gsensor it always says FAIL but I put in a perfect flat surface please please please help me with this problems
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,
I have a Problem with my mi8.
The Display flash

I think its a Hardware Problem
What you think ?

Turn off aod
Aod ?

Always on display. Sametimes it's help but it's probably fault of ambient light sensor or screen.
It is the same If aod Off
Not good
That's a common thing with faulty oled screens, it is a hardware issue
I have the same flashing screen when I turn the screen off before the aod is displayed. It does not happen all the time. Turning off aod does not help. I doubt that it is a hardware issue as the flashing started after updating to MIUI 11 - at least for me.
I have also this problem, started a while ago when I was on MIUI 10 after I installed some kind of dark theme
This indeed looks like a AOD fault cause turning it off solves the problem, and the latest version of AOD with custom picture customization, reduced this issue for me
But it also seems like it mostly happens when the ambient light is low so the automatic brightness reduces the screen light and AOD starts to flash
I hope it won't be a hardware problem
One other thing that I want to mention is sometimes it goes really bad and the screen starts flashing for a long time, in this case phone seems to become unresponsive as not touch and not the fingerprint sensor and infrared camera doesn't work at all

It is used for past time if you're asking
So a little update on the flashing screen situation
I disabled auto brightness and set the brightness a little below middle of brightness bar and so far so good. No flashing here for a while
Also disabling the AOD completely solves the problem
Another update on the state of this flashing issue, after Android 10 update haven't seen any flashing so far, AOD display works fine, light sensor and automatic brightness work just fine.
I guess it was a software issue after all
I hope you have solved it. Do you have the anti-flick on?

Nope I don't
Anyone else who has this issue:
Try disabling hardware overlays in developer options, also check to see if the Game driver option within Developer options is set to default. Although its possible that this could be the beginnings of a hardware issue, it could also be a software related issue.
If none of the things that I mentioned work, i would try reflashing the stock fastboot rom. ( must be fastboot version)
Similar happened to me but i think this is not recoverable.

No matter what i do, it only flashes and nothing else is visible. Device purchased about 1.5 years ago.

You need to return to stock using a fastboot rom, using a recovery rom will not work.
Most likely you have corrupted files. but sure it could be an hardware issue, especially if you have dropped the phone or installed something to increase the refresh rate. If you flashed a refresh rate mod, then you need to flash the DBTO image from the fastboot stock rom.

I have TWRP installed and thought of checking it out but it simply flashes there as well. Right now i have the display on, set never sleep in Developer options and simply keeping it up until new phone arrives. Once i am on new phone, i will try factory reset on this first and go from there i think. Not sure how to get to fastboot when display is not working.
Due to such weird nature that nothing really helps i tend to think that this is HW issue.
EDIT : Turned off display by accident (because phone call happened) and now it's back to flashing disco with absolutely nothing working. Fastboot (power + lower volume key together) is of course flashing as well so inacessible.
Happened to me too. Turned off AoD, restarted, turned on and it was ok for a while. Now flashed again. Dont know what is causing this :/

I also got the same issue on my dipper. The only solution that works perfect is by flashing to LineageOS 17.1. I know it's an OLED screen faulty but Lineage really fixes it. Been using Lineage for a few months and never have this display issue again. Other custom ROMs can't fix this display issue.
