After flashing a few ROM's I noticed my accelerometer, g-sensor, and magnetometer (compass) stopped working. I thought it might be the ROM that I was using so I restored stock and they still aren't working. I did a factory wipe and it still doesn't work.
If anyone has a fix for this I'd be very happy.
Also, where are these sensors physically located? I have opened my case when I fixed my spring so I want to know if I messed anything up then. Although the sensors were working fine for quite a while after.
thanks for any help!

I am having the same issue. I have rebooted and re romed like 5 times with no change.
Same problem
I have the same problem, but only for the g-sensor.
It was the same story after installing a custom rom the sensor stopped. This would'nt work again with any other rom.
Please an advice?

Hi!
I got a rooted DZ with several rom's tried out.
I believe that in the Stock OTA-ROM everything worked fine.
Now I'm at the Vision-Desire-HD-Sense 3.0 .
The light sensor is working a bit, but shows at darkness 10, at daylight 40 and in the sun 160. Another Handy shows 160 at daylight and 360 in the sun.
The proximity sensor always shows 9.0 ...
Is the sensor damaged or can I replace some library's or config files in the ROM?
Thx!!!
Domi
maybe is the rom. Try reinstalling it.

If it's anything like my Desire Z, your phone will be permanently affected by this. My light sensor just stopped working one day, and never started working again.

so, the only way is service center?
As title says: since i rooted my desire hd and flashed a custom rom, the proximity sensor ( G-sensor) and compass aren't working anymore. Tried to calibrate, reset, hard reset, flashed other roms, nothing helped. While calibrating, nothing moved, not the levelers and not the needle of the compass.
What relation do they have together? Is it one part? Could it be a hardware problem or just software?
I noticed some threads about a locked G-sensor. Tried to "shake" them loose. No result. Who can and is willing to help me? thnx.
Mine proximity s. isn't working either. I guess I will take it apart and have a look at it, could be dust or smth.

I replaced my Earspeaker yesterday since the sound had been really bad for som time.. while doing this I removed loads of dust located behind the Grid at the top the phone.. doing this ofc fixed the sound, but i also made my Proximity sensor work again.. and made the GPS get a better signal.. so really try cleaning it.. does wonders...

Try a fresh install of an RUU (going back to stock).
If it doesn't work then it shouldn't be a software issue.
Normally rooting does not affect those things.
When I flashed cm7 to my DHD the proximity sensor stopped working. It was an issue with the sensitivity settings of the sensor not being correct for AOSP roms. I fixed it using the app in this thread.

I know I'm not the only one with this problem, so I started a thread to find out is there anything we can do to fix sensors. In my case g sensor and compass don't work. I don't know is it physical or software issue. I found out sensors didn't work after I was jugling between roms CM 10.2 -> 10.1. Tried roms with sense, tried official roms, nothing. Anyone can help?
anybody? i'm desperate to make it work.
Maybe now? I'm still hoping this can be fixed somehow...

If your sensors didn't worked, out of the box. And even if in non of the roms you can get back your sensors to work, then probably your sensor hardware needs to be replaced.
Usually there were peoples who had sensors issues in CM roms, but by flashing Sense rom, they used to get back there sensors to work. But as you said, non of the Roms solved your issue, then it looks like its a hardware issue.
Thanks....
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using xda app-developers app
my device is LG-G3-D855.
after upgrading the software to android 5.0 from LG PC Suit, and after a day passed, I noticed that my auto-rotation is not working, and the proximity sensor is not responding during a call and the screen remains active.
I tested the sensors through hidden menu and saw that they are actually working and they are not stocked.
what is the solution? is it a software problem?
I also did downgrade the OS to the stock one and the problem still remains.
I'm sorry I am not able to help, but I am able to tell you I came to the forums today to post the exact same issue.
I had been using Liquid and CM12 for a while and my proximity sensors and brightness sensors (as well as screen turning off when I bring phone to my ear) were not working. I simply assumed it was an AOSP problem.
I just recently flashed the new stock lollipop rom that's on the development forum and I am having the same problem still. I do not know how to fix it and I'm hoping someone out there can help us!
edit: everytime I try to recalibrate the proximity sensor in settings, settings 'unexpectantly closes'

Have you had any luck on finding a solution to this? I've been in the same boat for a couple months now.

Dang, same thing on my end. I've tried several different Roms/Kernels and still nothing. If I find a solution, I'll be sure to let you know!
Bump
Im having this issue as well. Anyone?
I've just resolved the same issue. No matter ROM I flashed to my LG G3 all the sensors were gone. The only thing it fixed that was flashing TOT using lg flash. More details on : htt ps: //forum.xda-developers. com/showthread .php?t= 2785089
ADD: The updated method worked for me NOT the original one.
Fingers crossed.
So I've using custom roms for a while. But recently I realized rotation out of the blue. Reinstallations and fixes didn't work. So I decided to install TW Stock rom. And to my surprise rotation STILL doesn't work. Did the hardware just die? Any ideas?

for me too, but I think that a few drops killed it or sth like that. I've ordered new sensor, so will let you know if that fixed proximity sensor problems.
Try apps from play store to test if sensor is working. For me it detected, that sth is near and stay in that state until restart
