A lot of people is complaining out there of their broken g-sensor and possibly other sensors included , as the sense 5 camera being off all the time as it a lot dependable on it , but there have been found couple of ways to get sensors back on and it mostly work all the time , so until some will provide a camera mod people may use this mod for reviving the g-sensor back
SO HERE ARE 3 WAYS and keep cautious as these methods may harm your device
METHOD 1
-the idea is to overheat your HOX , keeping at active all the time till we get it on
-You need your battery to be around 50% not more than that , as you need to give it a chance to charge
-I open my data connection + map + navigation + screen on brightest available and on all the time + and connect it to car charger (it worked once without being connecte to charger ) the phone will heat up fast within 5 minutes ( Keep my phone connected to charger all through the process )
-once you feel your device is hot enough do a restart (fast boot way works for me )
-once your device is on back try to run your camera to see if your g-sensor is back
-and once its back , dont turn your device off or restart it as the g-sensor will go back offline and that including flashing a new ROM
-I have used g-sensor debug APP from play store to check my g-sensor all the time , once you turn it on it will recognize it as Panasonic 3-axis Acceleration sensor with numbers running up and down , but if the g-sensor is off ill will show nothing
METHOD 2
A help from a friend here used this way as he used StabilityTest app from the Play Store.
-Run “Scaling Stability Test (Root)”,
-leave it running whilst doing other things.
- After little while temperature will reach above 50°,
- restart the phone and then sensor should start working
-and again dont retart your device or turn it off as your sensor will go off again
METHOD 3
1. put on your phone around 20 songs in a format that is not supported ( .FLAC . AAC etc.)
2. make a playlist of these songs and try playing them. (this will hopefully crash your phone, if not, open some memory consuming apps as well)
3. after the crash start your phone with working sensors
METHOD 4
some people has reported that going into bootloader and flash boot.img and clear cache after that would somehow initiate sensors on reboot
!!DISCLAIMER!!
Please note that I tried this only several times on my device. THIS MAY RUIN YOUR PHONE
there is a big chance that your sensor will not start working from the first try but eventually it will
Special Thanks to @ATZ-007 for his 2nd way
Special Thanks to @getsomefood for his 3rd way
Update 9/22/2013
HTC has releases a new camera APK that can work without g-sensor being online here it is http://d-h.st/PUd , but this wouldnt turn your g-sensor back but at least this ill restore functionality of our lovely HOX back
special thanks to @virgolib

I'm not sure what kind of defect with every g-sensor out there at HOX but it seems symptoms do vary at each device , this method does the work all the time for me and also I had to repeat this process couple of times , the strange thing at my device that this g-sensor is till functioning great for the last week with no glitches , on other pages some guys recommended using g-sensor calibration at safe mode after disabling fastboot from power settings
Umm interesting how heat is helping in this situation. I would of thought it would of been related to a kernel problem as most had no issues before updating.
Has anyone tried trips kernel, see of the issue is still on there?

there are 2 ways to get your camera to work again
1- get your g-sensor back online , here you can find a way by overheating your device
2-to find someone there to provide a mod for the camera app to start without depending on the g-sensor

Hello guys, can i ask you. This thing happened to me on Sense 4 my phone rebooted becouse of overheat and then sensors started working, now i know why it happened i was playing 3D games out and then phone rebooted. And it worked . It happened 2 times, now i know why. Still dont understand how heat fix this problem So my question is how i can overheat the phone becouse on sense 5 it not heats like on sense 4 have no idea, and then how to restart? Normally power and restart? Or hold power button and wait few sec? thanks buddies. :fingers-crossed:

use data connection like HSPA +charging battery +using GPS + place screen on High brightness for sure wll increase device's Temperature a lot
( charging and discharging at the same time will increase battery's Temp a lot )
Just saying.....if (over)heating helps to fix a problem ...it's definitely a hardware problem.
Get warranty....
Well i will try it, but i need to over heat it to max so it restart automatically? I think at 80 C it restarts auto, btw Hofs, no warranty, and i think if i go to repair with it only way how they can repair it replace full main board.. And i dont think so it will be cheap thing I am not care about this but i am care about fix camera, on sense 4 it was working, i need just somebody to remove this gyro mode to get it work..

Mine stopped working last night.
When I tried the calibrator it failed saying "calibration aborted" the sensor checker also failed.
I went to the task manager and ended all tasks, I rebooted but no change so I switched off the phone then back on again and all was working
I will have to keep an eye on this

this is indeed a very weird thing mate, it's happening to a lot of people...
I'm sure it's a tegra3 related issue. Probably fixed on the next update.
Now that i think about it...i don't remember to have turnned off my phone when i had that issue...LOL
in conclusion to this subject, my latest "possible" fix is, fully drain your phone out of juice untill it doesn't power up and charge it again.
it should work afterwards.

G-sensor not working
Tried everything I can think off aside from draining the battery flat. Does the 1.28 rom version fix this issue? Seems like my g-sensor has been dead for a while...
Anyone on 1.28 have this g-sensor issue?
I have the same problem. I wrote a mail to HTC in yesterday about the problem and hopes they got an answer for this iritating issue.

Yup. Tried it all and the problem persists. Complete drain, factory reset, secure boot calibration, kill all tasks, ota update to 1.28 (from & to stock), superwiping and flashing a new rom (twice) , running htc's function test and getting "stuck" on the g-sensor test. And more.
Been there, done that.
The sensor doesn't react at all, so rotation won't work and in games like teeter, the ball just sits there no matter how I twist and turn.
And now HTC, via their chat, say that this might not be covered by the warranty since I have unlocked the bootloader. If I turn it in, they'll send it to a service centre, which may decide that the problem was caused by me (which is impossible since it was already there on stock), which would mean that 1) I'd have to pay for any repair or 2) I'd have to pay for "wasting their time" and cough up money for securely shipping it to/from the repair centre. Yay.
On the up side, the normal calibration aborts if I move the phone during the process, which to me would indicate that the sensor is working at SOME level, right?

My question is, was it working when you got it in the first place?
Mine unlocked itself after about 48hours...
The only thing I can remember doing, that I've never said before was that I dropped my phone several times in all possible directions on a very slim carpet as a desperate act...
My thought was, maybe if I drop it and shake it really hard, it might get loose eventually. (Yes I'm a bit crazy... )
It got back to work after 48 painfull hours and lots of failed attempts...
I had this problem, but it was fixed by a reboot. Dont know if that gives you any clues as to whether it is software/hardware related?
Yeah, it looks like some kind of hardware issue. I need to send this phone for repair. HTC has disappointed me - this will be the last HTC phone I purchase. Nothing but problems since day one. Stay people - you have been warned!!!

Actually I'm not quite sure if it worked in the first place, because I bought it used (from a guy who realized he hated Sense after three days). Nothing seems to get it to work, though I'm glad yours did.

Hum... maybe that's why he sold it sorry to hear it mate...
Well, if you are brave enough to do it, do what I did... shake it a lot, and drop it (from low altitude obviously) into a soft carpet... it might sound crazy, but the shaking could be enough to unlock the sensor... corner drop it all around and good luck! going to google it to see if there is any sort of recent found fix...
in the meantime get the app "sensor list" from the market and tell me the brand of your sensors if you can read it.
I had this issue, 3 days after I got the phone. Tried everything I could think of
(fact resets, etc). Still no joy, so I sent it back to the shop.
When they tested it , it was all workign fine again....
However I have a couple of thoughts on this (not tried it out yet so give it a go).
First of all disable that HTC Gestures/3 Finger rubbish. Secondly ensure Fast Boot is off.
Then re-start phone.
Now , Although I did end up like that, I'm sure it didnt fix the problem immediatley following me disabling those options.
All in all there is definatley something screwing up the G-Sensor, which is seemingly fixable/can be disabled. Its just finding out what it is/how you do it!
Slim
I completely agree on you mate. The question is what.
My subconscious is telling me that it has something to do with the live wallpapers but I have no proof. It's just a stupid hunch, but it wouldn't be my first stupid hunch and I was correct so...
anyway, I've just red this...you guys might want to try and do it.

"I just called my vendor, to complain about the auto rotation issue, and here's the step to fix, which worked for me.
Restart the phone, and go to safe mode (restart, and once you see the HTC logo, long press the volume down button), it'll restart again and go into safe mode.
Go to Settings, Display & gestures, G-Sensor Calibration, then calibrate, make sure to put the back of the phone on a level surface, this time, it shows calibration complete not aborted when I did it before in the normal mode.
Restarted the phone and it works fine now.
Thanks,
Mohamed El-Ghazaly"
when in safe mode, I would attempt everything from a "kill all tasks" in device manager to enabling and disabling auto-rotate in display settings.
Good luck guys.

For what its worth I've no issues and have tried to recreate this as I consider whether to return the phone due to screen flicker. Panasonic Gsensor calibrates fine and Elixir gives steady accurate sensor feedback.

I have HTC 3 finger gestures off (except one middle one and a v-sign for launching a flagship product with so many issues.)

bottom buttons not working, none of the three. when i try to press back or menu, sometimes nothing happens and sometimes i press above, like menu at home page. And also when i try to keep touching them after a while the phone gets crazy, and starts to make strange things like entering some apps, switching between them, taking screen shots (normally i do not know how to do it), beeping, and going on like this without stopping. if i can press power of, it stops, otherwise it goes on himself.
i try pressing all three at same time may times, and i restart many times. Sometimes it starts normal with buttons working, usually with not-working buttons, but it gone againg Now i am trying to use without buttons, but when i start any apps, i can not back, so everytime i restart ((( offfff
My device is original , original rom without root, or something else. i just install apps from market thats all.
Before it goes crazy with non-working buttons, i just start to use a Bluetooth headset (discovery 975), after pairing with it for a time i use normal both device. and my last app which i install via google market was "GSM Signal Monitoring". Now i uninstall it, and bluetooth is off. But problem is still valid

Have you try factory reset? Backup data 1st.
Happened to me, I got a new screen under warranty.
i did not do a factory reset yet, because backup everything and saving passwords... it is also a hard work
but at last i will do it

Same here, mine also get replaced under warranty and it is a hardware problem
i hope mine's is not a hardware problem, because i have no warranty
but for a 12 hours it works normal, i do not know what effects it but i make bluetooth on, and it seems normal now.
just strange
I had the same problem, they replaced the touch screen under warranty.
Even with an unlocked bootloader.
please please not he hardware problem i have NO WARRANTY
i had a similar problem on my first hox and it was replaced under warranty
my buttons were completely dead. yours seem to still have some life in them. try a factory reset. if that doesnt work then try holding all 3 keys at once for 3 seconds. i am told that this "resets" them
if neither of these work them i am afraid the screen is broken
Yeah it's broken.
In the HTC shop they reflashed the RUU just in case, but, it was broken.
Why do you have no warranty?
i have the same problem with the same facts

Hi friend, just know i read your invoice while i was trying to find a solution in my same problem. My device HTC One X (32Gb official rom, not rooted, android 4.2.2, Sense 5.0)
Most of my friends say that the only thing i have to do is to send it at the service as it is still on warranty. I have tried everything before, like reset, remove everything, but the problem still occurs.
Tomorrow i will try the service
Can this be due to the recent update?

Hi. I've never imagined such a thing to happen at random and I strongly believe this to be an outcome of the recent OTA update (4.4.2, S5). Everything was working fine until today evening when I picked up my phone to make a call and boom...the buttons just stopped responding. I barely stay away from my phone...and I had it functioning fine 2 minutes before they stopped responding.
What could be the cause of it? Is there anyone out here who can please...please shed some light on this. I'm not opting in to do a hard reset yet because I have this thing called 'button savior' doing the job for me but of course it ain't nothing in comparison to the stock thing. Plus, this is annoying to see your device go off on you in such random fashion. Any help will be highly appreciated...really looking forward to hearing from someone.

BUMP!
Is there anyone who can throw some light on this? I have been told that front panel is faulty and it'd cost me approx. 8k+ for the replacement of the entire front panel. I'd rather sell this than spend 8k on it.
Mine started doing the same thing and I also had no warranty for the device. The way I got around not being able to use the physical buttons was through an app called Button Savior. You can download it from the play store and there is a free version that functions perfectly well. If you aren't rooted then install the non-root version. This app puts touch buttons on your screen. It takes a little getting used to, but overall Button Savior was a great alternative for me.

There's no way the buttons will come to life after the reset. I tried all of that but to no use. As a last option, try to place all 3 fingers on the bottom buttons for few seconds (I've heard few cases reporting it to be the magic key but not in my case ). If still the things dont work, the only good option is to download this app called 'button savior'. This will save you from the big replacement expense (I think the front panel is close to 100$+ and about INR 8,000 here in India). As someone else also stated here, it will take you a little while to get used to it but believe me it will still be better than betting that kind of amount on a dead device. Good luck!

Hi guys,
After getting the same problem as all of you, and due to no warranty for my HOX, I searched over googleplay and find out this very useful application which replaces the hardware buttons, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart.swkey , thanks to the developper he really saves my life and my HOX's life
Hope that this app will help you as it did for me!
Regards
My softkeys also didnt work BUT
if you believe it or not
it was only a virus!!!
i dont know how (because i have only 12 apps including games) but i found it
VERY unnormal that the keys didnt work until 10 PM and them for 3 hours everything
was fine.
at the day they worked sometimes but mostly not.
i thought of a virus before having to make a FULL WIPE aaaaaand yeahhhhh
quihoo found the virus in the last 1% of his scan.
MAYBE this will help somebody...someday :laugh::angel::good::good::good:
VisruS???

So how you found it? did you run any apps to find the virus? how you clean it?

THANK YOU!!! I was really desperate and without warranty. Try you said and it works. Too much porn on my HOX :angel:
Hi everybody! I open this thread because I have a problem that I can't resolve: months ago I switched to CM 10.1 from stock ROM and I had that since 2 days ago (when arco68 told that soon he wouldn't develop this ROM for this phone anymore). So I had CM 10.1 alpha1 to alpha6, but my problem started from alpha3: in fact when I installed this release my camera starts shutting down the phone when taking pictures with flash (no matter at what resolution pictures where taken or if the flash was automatic or permanent), but only with battery under about 80% and it didn't appened when the phone it was in charge. So I read a lot of posts where people said it was a battery problem: since mine was one year old and it was rounded I replaced it with a new original one. Unfortunately the problem persisted, so I posted this problem in the thread relative to CM 10.1 ROM and I realized that other people had this problem, except that a lot of them resolve it buying a new battery (LIKE I DID!). So I waited for other releases with the hope it was a ROM problem...since Alpha6, when I realise that it wasn't resolved. So I decided to change ROM to see if it was a ROM problem and I installed a GB-based ROM: Mission ROM. But when I went to camera to take a picture with flash it appened again. So I wanted to know if it was a custom-ROM problem and I reinstalled STOCK ROM from the NANDROID BACKUP I made before installing CM 10.1. Unfortunately the problem continues to persist and it's strange, because It didn't happen before in my stock ROM. The only thing I think It could be it's that the flashlight installed on CM 10.1 broke the LED circuit because I try the full power option (or something like this, I can't remember) and there was a warning. But the strange thing is that I tried with all the 3 ROMs to keep LED on with a widget and the phone never shut down, no matter what was the battery percentage. So I wrote this post to ask someone if there is a reason for this strange behaviour and if it is a solution.
Thank you all
yesterday, i faced this problem, but my rom isnt cm10 by arco, my rom is simplified GB with s3 looks v2
at first i was shocked, and then i try to flash back into stock rom, and the LED works fine
my advice is you must flash your w into another cusrom or even stock rom and wait for the dev's solve this problem
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda app-developers app
Unfortunately I have already tried 2 custom ROM, and now I have recovered my stock ROM and the problem isn't gone...
me too sometime face same problem !! in more roms not one or too !
There are new develops! Today I noticed that the phone shuts down when taking pictures with flash only if the brightness of the display is over 50%: under this value taking pictures with flash don’t cause the phone to shut down. So my question is: how is it possible? It’s an hardware problem or maybe a firmware one?
Trying to answer this questions I have decided to make an hard reset of my phone, but I read that when the phone reboots after the hard reset it asks an unlock code. I have no idea of what code is this, so I want to know if this is true or not, and if it’s true how can I have this code before making an hard reset?

using CM 10.1 Alpha 6 , i found ur right about taking pictures with flash will turn shut the phone down if the brightness is high , u shall report that problem at the cm10.1 troubleshooting thread to get more testers for it
If you already changed the battery, maybe it's the jack that link battery to the phone...I think so cause you said that when under charge the problemdoesn't happen (because the phone take energy from the charge and not from the phone)...take a look over there...surely it's a mechanicalissue, not roms issue...

ok, but I don't know how to resolve this issue...I will try an hard reset...I think cyanogenmod wrote something in the firmware of the camera that is still present...with an hard reset maybe the firmware will be reset to stock...

I reported this issue in the tread, but many people answer to me that it may be a problem of mine only...
Ok, I think I'll do an hard reset. Is there something to know before doing it (like codes to reactivate the phone, etc.)?
i think is battery....because when the phone is fully charged (or with anoter battery) when shutting photo with flash it stay on
why?
while taking the picture (camera+cpu+ flash (more power than torch) +screen ecc..) the battery voltage drops suddenly if it is damaged and this drop can swich off the phone

I have the same problem with my g-sensor so I tried this way and it always work with my HOX , as long as you have a car charger
-the idea is to overheat your HOX , keeping at active all the time
-You need your battery to be around 50% not more than that , as you need to give it a chance to charge
-I open my data connection + map + navigation + screen on brightest available and on all the time + and connect it to car charger
the phone will heat up fast within 5 minutes
-once you feel your device is hot enough do a restart (fast boot way works for me )
-once your device is on back try to run your camera to see if your g-sensor is back
-and once its back dont turn your device off or restart it as the g-sensor will go back offline and that including flashing a new ROM
-I have use g-sensor debug from play store to check my g-sensor all the time , once you turn it on it will recognize it as Panasonic 3-axis Acceleration sensor with numbers running up and down , but if the g-sensor is off ill will show nothing

Have the same issue, Camera does't work in Sense 5, related to broken gyroscope. Mine's MPL Invensense sensor, went kaput few weeks back. Now it isn't coming back online, no matter what I do.
It's damn shame, we can't use Camera in Sense 5, unless someone modifies the kernel to make it work for broken gyroscope users. Using CM10.2 as of now.
i don't understand

Hi guys,
I have HTC One X and I switched from stock rom to cyanogenmod few months ago. From time to time I got info about updating to latest stable build but I didnt install it since the one I had worked perfectly. Few days ago I updated it to latest stable build manually and it worked OK, but it shut down at one point when I was using Google Maps and I had to start it manually again. It started normally but had problem connecting to network for about minute or two. After that it worked fine.
Today I wanted to record my sisters school project and I put it on a table and started recording. After 20 minutes or so I noticed that phone is turned off again (no one was near it). Since then I am unable to charge it, power it, it seems to be complity dead. When I plug in the charger no light indicartor is present.
I am not sure that problem is OS related. It seems to be hardware related isssue.
Is this known problem? And how to fix it??

Sound like your battery going to die soon. How long you have on battery?

Thank you for quick response
It was about 90% when I started recording but the problem is I think its dead. I cannot start it to see how much is left on the battery so I am unable to see how much battery is still full.

About two days ... If I use it a bit more (games, video calls) it drops to about a day.
