Hello.
I bought my ogp a week ago and i discovered a problem with the motion sensor and the proximity sensor - both dosent work.
Some one know how to fix it? The seller said it's a software problem and an update will solve it.
Thanks.
Is your phone rooted by chance? There's a program I use called kernel tuner and it has live statistics of all the sensors.
Do you have a screen protector on that covers where the sensors are by chance?

No, my phone is not rooted, i checked the sensors with another app and all my sensors are turned off, no one is working and replying data.
About the screen protector it dosent cover the sensors so it is not the problem...
More ideas?
Thanks!

Did you try to check for software updates in the About phone section of the settings application? If there's an update there's a chance that that could fix it.

the phone screen should turn off when in a phone and close to my ear due to the proximity sensor
but the screen doesnt turn off....i dont know why
its a stock desire hd with the recent gingerbread update so its not rooted.
any ideas for troubleshooting?
its really annoying
i have an app that tested the sensor and found no issues (ie, it measured me moving my finger on and off the sensor without issue)
no root, cant help much, no custom kernels
iv always had the same issue, even with Lee's rom installed, the proximity sensor never seems to pick up at the right time.. is there any way of calibrating it?
There was an app on xda somewhere for calibrating the dhd sensor. Try a search on here and try Google. Think it might be a known bug with some dhd.

thanks, yeah i read that thread, but i'm using GB stock, and unfortunately its not yet supported by that app.

Hey,
is there any way to calibrate the proximity sensor one the One X?
For some reason my proximity Sensor needs very high brightness values to activate the screen again, when calling. This happens on every ROM I use, even stock. Does anyone else have this issue and is there a solution? I've been looking for a while now but only found solutions for other devices. Help would be very appreciated
Are you taking about ambient light sensor?
Proximity sensor is sensor made for distance detection.
No I actually mean the proximity sensor. I know it shouldn't be depending on light but it does. I don't know why. First I thought the sensor is broken, but if there is enough light it reacts to movement. If not I'm not able to get the screen back on until the other person hangs up. Its really weird. Sometimes even the little red light stays on. In the DHD forum i saw a thread about someone who developed an app to recalibrate the proximity sensor, so i thought this could also be done for the HOX.
For your knowledge, the proximity sensor on One X is kind of binary type (return 0/1;object detected /none). There are some sensors test tool offers on play store, you may try them out..

Ok. I did that already. Same happens there. Thats why Im not sure if its malfunctioning or just needs to be calibrated.

Well, this is enough. I have to assume that its a hardware defect and I wont send it in a 6th time.Getting rid of this contract next week.

i had exactly the same problem. You can fix it with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882725 this patch. All you need is a custom rom with init.d support. Cheers!
You can use this.

hi i just recently bought a galaxy note 2 phablet, im very happy with it every thing works perfectly fine, however i did come across a slight problem which is bugging me alot, as i loaded the phone up it shows you all the tutorials and stuff, for panning and zooming in using motion control.... i did not realise the problem before as i was really happy to just get the phone after so long, My motion sensor and gyroscope functions are not working
i have tried everything from factory reset to restarting , taking the battery out and putting it back in, has anyone stumbled upon this problem, and is there a solution to this problem, whether this is a software glitch/problem or a hardware issue. if anyone can help me please and thanks in advance

hi thank you for the quick reply, i had a look at what you asked me to do and i did manage to find all the settings, however it looks to me everything is working apart from the light sensor one, all the other settings came up as a PASS apart from the light sensor which came as level 0, which i dont know what that means, while i was on the sensor screen i swiped my hand across the sensor and the screen shifted colour from white to yellow, which is a good indication that it is working , however i went back on the operating system and tried the palm swipe and it did not work, niether did the quick glance, and the pan to zoom features are not working either, i did test the gyrocope settings and it came out as a PASS too, could you explain maybe why this may be happening and what does the level 0 on the light sensor option means, please and thank you , i really do appreciate it.
Lavel 0 says to all phones I have tried including mine. As long as the LUX changes it is working.
Now for your primary problem try to recalibrate gyroscope.
Do it by going settings-motion-advanced settings-gyroscope calibration.
If that does not help try clearing cache in recovery.
If that does not help then backup and try reflashing your rom.

Hello in response to your issues with the motion sensor. Have you installed a screen protector on your note 2? i noticed that after installing the screen protector on my Note 2 some of the motion actions did not work properly. So if you do have one on remove it and see if that corrects the issue. :good:
Useful help.
This was a very Useful thread, thanks. I've done the tests and came up vitha a fail when i tried my motion sensor. Is it likely to be broken? I'm going to reset to factory settings and pull of my screenprotector and se what happens before i do anything else. Is there anyone out there who has replaced the motion sensor? Is it soldered to the main board? Hard to replace?
Thanks beforehand. Tommie.
i thnk my sensor is nt wrkin... when i do the test, d color is alredy green nd isnt changin nd is vibratin continuosly?? is it broken or somthng lyk dat??

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Motion Sensor and Gyroscope not working
hi my samsung note 2 was working well for last 2 years bur recenrtly its motion sensor has stopped working.
i have checked all settings, it isnt working at all..
gyroscope and motionsensor tests are fail on checking. please help me, what to do?
I have had the exact same issue. The only way to fix it is to get the whole motherboard replaced. I went into Samsung store and they said that. Issue here is that it costs £145 to replace the main board. The sensors are on the main board itself and that is why it costs a lot to fix. I've been using my Note 2 with no gyroscope for a few months now, going to buy a new phone. Rather buy a brand new phone than get it fixed
just loosen the screw nearest to the microsd card. motion sensor is under it. it work on my phone.
gyroscope sensor

Yeahhh!!!
You are a Hero! I tried nearly everythink since January 2016! I took the screw out, shut down my phone, put it into download mode and pull the battery out.
Im not shure if a restart would do it alone, i did all to be shure. And it now works again. My srew was magnetized! Maybe that was the reason or the chip has
a loosen contact.
Up to now it works great! I thought my sensor was dead.
Maybe it is just me and my device, but since the MM update (the real one, not the beta) my notification LED doesn't work. I have tested it with text messages, emails, missed calls, charger plugged into my computer, charging plugged into a standard charger, and charging plugged into the fast charger... nada on any of them.
Anyone having this issue? If so how have you rectified it? It has been a minute since I first got this thing (got it at launch) and the MM update reset all my settings so maybe there is a setting to turn it back on I am missing?
Help out a brother if you can. Thanks.
OK, so does anyone have any suggestions for an app that might help by letting me manually setup the notification LED?

Thanks for the reply. It is not in DND as far as I can tell (not on).
If you haven't already, try a factory reset first

Actually yes. After I wiped my phone for my wife the notification now works.
Another issue that I recently found the solution to... if your ZF2's proximity sensor has gotten crazy sensitive since the update try cleaning it. Seriously. Especially if you have a tempered glass screen protector. I thought the piece of advice was bogus but I cracked out my lens cleaning spray and cloth and BOOM, the proximity sensor works correctly again.

Thanks! Got the led working again after a factory reset.
By the proximity sensor do you mean the little one next to the selfie camera or the GPS?
After a lot of fixed I've got the ZF2 working fine, except for the "smartlock - safe places" that thing can never work right.

Sorry, I just realized that you had replied.
Yes, the one beside the camera. Many have had an issue where the screen goes black after you start or answer a call, especially after the update. It seems the update made the proximity sensor much more sensitive. Since all decent screen protectors have a small cutout for the proximity sensor it will tend to accumulate dirt and oil from your skin. Wiping it down doesn't seem to get it clean enough for the sensor so you have to get a little more aggressive to clear the problem up. I went months enduring the problem and even set my phone so I could disconnect from calls using the power button and then ended up stumbling over the solution when setting up the phone for my wife when I upgraded to my Axon 7.
No led indicator
Hi i've been experiencing the same issue. After I update my zenfone 2 ZE551ML 4gb/64gb version, I have noticed that the led incator is not working and it is not found in the settings. Also, another issue I have encountered is that quick charging feature is not working sometimes but sometimes it works. I don't know how to fix. I'd be glad if someone could help with a step by step process. Thanks in advance!
Anyone running 7 Roms having issues with their sensor? Seems mine stopped working after this. Just wondering if it's a bug or I should send for a replacement.
Thanks

Just used a hardware tester and the proximity sensor sir is there and functional. Anyone know if there is a setting so when you put the phone to your ear it will black the screen out? Thanks
I have no useful reply, but to say that my brand new 5X running stock Android 7.1.1 has the same issue. My phone is pure stock, not rooted, has never been wet or dropped and is fresh out of the box. I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/...kinetics&rdid=com.innoventions.sensorkinetics to verify that the proximity sensor is not working.
Maybe it's because of tempered screen guard, I had problems with proximity sensor with screen guard installed, removed it and problem gone.
