[HOW TO] fix sensors including g-sensors!

O.K. so I had the g-sensors come and go on my HOX every month or so, seemingly totally by random. I tried all the so-call fixes in this forum and others, none worked . After updating to the latest sense 5.0 , the problem persisted and furthermore all other sensors went as well (p-sensors and auto brightness). Fast forward a month and eureka! To FIX this all you need is to make your phone crash, and after restarting all sensors will appear. I found the easiest way to crash my phone is to make a playlist with only songs in a format unplayable by the music app, after trying to play this playlist my phone crashes and after so all sensors worked normally .
Quick Guide:
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
!!DISCLAIMER!!
Please note that I tried this only several times on my device. THIS MAY RUIN YOUR PHONE

thanks

thanks for the fix ,, i will try it soon

This is stupid. If you try to play unsupported file, the music app will simply rise an error "unable to play this type of audio file". It's not going to crash and if it does with you, you are very lucky, but with all due respect this is not fix at all.

Doesn't work
I have the same issue, however this 'trick' doesnt work. I was doubtful however tried this anyway

[Q] New canvas a1 lots of force close

Guys I have brought a new canvas a1 2 days ago.. Since day 1 i am getting lots of force close of google apps, games etc. I have just installed 10 apps of my own apart from the builtin ones and they are small apps like yahoo mail, speedtest, etc. Also my phone got stuck into a reboot loop two times on day1 itself so after trying a lot i finally had to flash my phone with stock rom(which i downloaded from this forum) but even after that it was stuck in boot loop so i flashed it again and then i was able to boot normally. Now i get force close and even restart when i open asphalt 8(which i downloaded today) even at low quality setting in graphics.
All of the above is being experienced on stock rom. I have not installed any custom roms
Please suggest help me ppl. Its my new phone:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

it seems like your phone has an issue probably hardware. you should have claimed the warranty if you found bugs in your default rom instead of flashing. you are not supposed to flash, it's their responsibility to fix your device if there is an issue.

Ok, i am working so cannot go on weekdays to service center. ill probably take it to them this weekend.

but make sure your phone is not rooted and bootloader is locked. if it's rooted, make sure to unroot it, you can find tutorials in this forum for that.

Thanks for your reply ppl..
Got the device changed for the second time which makes my current canvas a1 3rd one in 7 days
Any ways i wanted to confirm a few things here on canvas a1:
1) Do any of you here get "contacts has stopped working" when you get a call??
2) Some apps disappear from home screen after you switch off your phone and switch it back on(mostly those on mmc i guess)?
3) Slow app downloads from playstore (I have 5MBps pack @ my place and on my other devices like Xolo q1000s, when i download an app from playstore it downloads atleast 3-4MB per second but on my canvas a1 it usually downloads @Max 1MB per second[tried same app at same time] although 1or 2 times i have got 3-4MB per second.)
P.S the 3rd problem was not encountered on my second canvas a1 but its there on the third 1.

LG G3 Mid Frame replacement, now camera not recognized

Hello,
Firstly, I'm sorry If I didn't post this in the correct thread but I'm a big noob on forums.
I need your guys help, I had a broken screen and got a new mid frame ( being the easiest repair plus I had a few scratches so I decided to get the frame as well )
I got it all to the new frame and turned on the phone all fine and dandy ( screen working as intended ), but I found the rear camera not being recognized , neither the flash. When I used the camera app (or any other app alike, instagram, snapchat or camera FV-5) the switch camera button just wouldn't be there. I went to the quick toggles to check the flashlight and it's missing ( i tried putting it back on and it just goes away )
So i got the phone opened and checked the connections and it seems all fine, the camera doesn't show any damage , nor the contacts from the flash and buttons ( buttons work fine btw).
I'm running CM 13, maybe it's the rom causing issues? (currently downloading newer version in hopes it will recognize the camera)
Can you guys help me out?

Rear camera/Flashlight not recognized

My rear camera suddenly stopped working. My phone didn't get any hurt in nowhere, just suddenly it stopped working. I was takin photos since 10 minutes before, I locked the phone and I noticed that Torch tile disappeared. I thought it was a bug and I didn't care anymore. The day before I noticed that even rear camera stopped working, I was trying to take a photo but the "change camera" (from front to rear) disappeared in every camera app I was using, camera apps opened by default with front camera opened. I tried to reflash ROM thinking that it was a ROM problem (even if I was using the same rom since months ago and I've never had any kind of problem), no results. Reflashing everything starting from stock firmware, no results. As a last hope, I tried to replace the rear camera by buying a new one, but the problem it's still here. Could someone that experienced the same problem, tell me where the problem could be? Or maybe some possible fixes, every kind of help is appreciated. Thanks.

Same
I have the exact same problem. After wiping the cache the rear camera is recognised and I am able to take a picture with it (which is not saved into gallery) but about 5 minutes later the option to switch to rear camera has gone and all camera apps (including social media such as snapchat) is stuck on front camera. This leads me to think it's not a hardware problem but rather that of software with which I am running cm13 nightlies that I have updated every day for the past week in the hope it will be patched.

I have this exact same problem on my d855 too..!
Sooooo frustrating, I've been looking everywhere for a fix, tried full factory reset the other day (I'm running full regular stock with no root or anything), and sadly that didn't work either... I'm glad to read someone has tried changing the camera hardware, cos that was I step I've considered taking, but I now know would be a waste of time and money...
But still, the problem persists..!

I don't think that's a software problem simply for one reason: I'm on the same rom and kernel since months and camera worked fine. It stopped working suddenly with no reason.

Yeah now you made me understand why the camera worked for some minutes. I'll try clearing cache after installing new camera module. I'll report the result. Thanks anyway.
Edit: It's not working. At first boot, systemUI doesn't load well, when I reboot everything works fine but rear camera isn't working. Maybe late I'll try with phone's camera. Now I'm using the new one bought some days ago.

same here!!!!! I'm using LOS13.1 on my d855 and i can't fix it... any idea?

What OS are you guys running? Is everyone experiencing the issue on Cm13?
Also try cleaning the camera connections really well.

I have same problem. Although i expirienced it first time on Lineage OS 14.1. Now 30B, but it still not working. I was listening to music through external speakers, and suddenly it stopped working. Music app was "playing" but i couldnt hear anything and when i exit the app my phone just stops working and starts being laggy as hell. Later that day i found out my camera is not working. I tried reattaching cam connector but it did not work...idk if i should order a new camera or it might be a software fix or something

same problem
happened to me after upgrading to 6.0 , downgraded back to 5 with no luck , even opened my phone and released and reconnected the 3 cables inside with no luck at all . don't know what to do

It's "good" to see other people with the same problem as me.
I replaced the camera and it still won't work.

I'm afraid that it might the problem with our motherboard...How can software block our camera even tho all of us fully reinstalled ROMs/Modems etc? It would be awesome if dev would see this and tell us what is the actual cause of this

If you reinstalled the entire OS using a TOT method, no files are left behind. This is more likely a hardware issue.
The Camera module is extremely close to the problematic hot chip on the G3 so it's not impossible something got messed up.

I have a d852 in Canada that doesn't get hot and I'm having this problem too. Going to order a new camera since I know this is a hardware issue. Hopefully fixed the issue. Not cool having no rear camera or flashlight

It's impossible Every G3 gets hot...you either are not heavy user or idk...but every G3 that i've held had the issue of overheating at some point...and indeed it can ruin everything...imagine 120C on your processor...that kills everything around it...idk if my processor got that hot as i've seen in some cases it did on internet, but it did go up to 90ish...and that is too damn hot

FIX ISSUE be Done
Hi all .
Problem method for repair
Issue is easy buy new rear camera D855 or this same conector D820/D821/Nexus5 is this same and all works fine I'm tested on my D855 International

If u tru turn on flashlight he said (on broke camera) " Immpossible turn on flash light when camera work" !!!!!

Oneplus 5t choppy preformance after update

So i got the phone a year ago it worked flawlessly until patch 9.0.11 hit it literally crippled the phone to the point where even the boot screen is slow motion.
the interesting is that all sensors work fine audio playback is perfect but video is not at all even the camera lags.
I have tried everything even sending it to one plus, they wanted 450usd to fix it.
its right now on stock everything with an unlocked boot-loader
i have a screen recording if it see below

if you maybe have seen this issue and have a fix

450 USD for a 3 year old phone. ?
It isn't worth it .
If you can't live with these bugs. Buy a new phone.
Otherwise try Gcam .

Hello, I've looked at your video and I really don't see what's wrong because the whole vidoe is laggy.. Here is what I would do: you have to probably go through your apps and delete some apps which are draining a lot of memory, then you have to boot to recovery mode and delete cache there, then download app SD Maid Pro ( you can buy it or you can find a cracked version of it somewhere on the internet). Then run the app and let it auto force close and delete app cache from all of your apps (you have to change your phone language to english for this to work. I yesterday received a new update for Android 10 so maybe wait and update it to new Android and see if your problem is gone. Good luck [emoji1696]
