My sensors are good, this must be software related since it happened at the first boot of a new ROM.
Problem is, even if I flash stock firmware I have no luck making auto rotation and other motion features such as quick glance to work.
Anybody got an idea?
Anyone?
Please this is exhausting

It must be software related.. When i flashed the leaked 4.3 it was fixed, but after a week stopped again

What apps are you using to test the errors... If they aren't compatible with the leaked 4.3 then that might be the issue? Also kernal compatibility might be what's throwing it off

Well i try to rotate the screen for starter's.. Calibration don't even respond to movement as the ball stays in the center. Gyroscope demanding apps such as flight games dont work. Its not 4.3 as 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 don't fix it either
Same problem since 2 months
i too have the same problem...
i guess i can say that i'm not a noob... searched everything on the internet for this problem...
found no solution yet...
i too thought this was a kernel related problem ... tried many roms and kernels ... even i unrooted my phone and installed the stock ROM ... no help still..
i got the sensors working by accident sometimes ... but they again stopped working randomly...
i didn't open up my phone yet .. and didn't give it to the service center... thinking of doing that in some days
i guess the problem started when i dropped my phone and cracked the screen ... 4-5 months ago .. gave it to an unauthorized repair to replace the screen .. i guess he messed something up ..
but the problem started way after i replaced it ... started giving the problem since 2 months after the repairs...
any help before i spend more money to repairs/replace the sensors? .. \
attaching a screenshot from CPU-Z

My phone touchscreen is not working whenever the screen backlight went off and whenever the screen is lock. It again works for sometime after rebooting or flashing stock rom and the same problem starts again. I have also updated my touchscreen firmware but it doesn't solve the problem. Please help me. Please. Don't tell me to go to samsung care coz my warranty period is over and there is no samsung care centre at my place.. Otherwise, I have to say good bye to my Galaxy y from today. Please, please, please help me.

You have done everything that's i would have told you - flashed stock , updated touch screen fw !
And i can't tell you to go to ssc
Anyway lemme just get some answers first :
Did this problem begin all of a sudden at random or do you remember doing anything that could have caused it ?
Also you sure the digitizers are okay ? You on stock 'kernel' right ?

It happens suddenly. What do you mean by 'digitizers'? Yes, I am on stock kernel. Waiting...

Its too technical you can Google to know more - simply a digitizer is an interface that converts analogue inputs to digital ones - they are the main component of your capacitive or any other touch screen .
I know this because recently i had a similar touch screen problem but not entirely like yours as mine wasn't working at all no matter you reboot or lock - and i had to get the digitizer replaced to get things back to working

Google you'll fine plenty but make sure that its a digitizer problem before repairing ! Yours sound like some kind of bug to me as touch doesn't respond after back light goes off and works fine all other time .
Maybe someone else will have better solution wait
try that when u are on stock (rom, kernel, etc)...
just dont install any app...
try if for a time..
nd tell if the problem is still there
rooting is new for me...and i am noob to root...
Hello everybody,
my girlfriend have an a Sony xperia s and for awhile when she having a phone call
and put the phone against her ear the screen does not turning off the buttons are been pressed
by her cheek, this causes a lot of embarrassment when the call is disconnected in the middle of an important call,
most of the time the button just pressed and the other side just hearing an annoying tone.
this is annoying and i don't know how to help her with that.
is there any good solution for this problem?
i tried to look for this problem in the search engine of this forum
and all i found was the same problem but in HTC phone that runs Windows Mobile, that didn't helping me...
thanks for anyone who can help me with that...
Try rebooting/resetting.
If problem persists then the proximity sensor may be faulty. Take it to Sony, coz it's a hardware problem.

Perhaps her phone is dirty, so the sensor won't work.. You know women, they don't care about technology.
Clean the screen left next to the Sony logo real good
My first opinion is hardware issue. It can be said that the proximity sensor is faulty. My second one is software. maybe she install a program that uses or control the proxomity switch that causes it to malfunction having a conflict with other programs. My third is that, as early as possible if its hardware issue, go now to sony service center for them to figure it out, use your warranty card, that may cause no additional problem right? Smile!
You could try re flash the firmware with flashtool

i think that maybe it is an hardware issue,
she don't installing any application just by her self, and she don't have many apps.
i know almost every app on her phone (cause i have them also on my SGS4) and i don't think that the apps are the problem.
but i will look for an app problem anyway just to be sure before using the warranty.
thank you guys...
UPDATE:
i've checked the phone sensor with the new app cpu-z and the app shows that the sensor is working and identifying my hand
when i covering it.
but still there is the problem that the screen does not turn off when she's holding the phone against her ear,
i've watched while she's talking in the phone and she's holding it as it should be.
but as i see the problem is not happening in every phone call but it is happening a lot.
any idea how to solve this problem?
Bought a Note 2 a couple days ago ( sold my old Note 2 to get the Galaxy s4...dind't like it so sold it and got an HTC One...dind't like it so sold it and got a Note 2 again )
After around 3 days i have a weird rotation problem, the rotation stops working and the only way to get it working again is to reboot.
Searched xda and google and it seems its a bug in the latest android firmware for the Note and not a fault of my device.
Anyone can confirm its a bug and if there is a fix how to fix it???
Still stock cause i wanted to test the device before rooting.

I myself haven't got that problem and I'm on the latest DME6 and DMF1 software.
Try a factory reset?

I'm on ME6 to with ME4, it's a new device. I bought a grey Note 2 last week and that device had the same problem...returned it and bought a brown Note 2 in another store and again same problem.
It works perfect for 2 days and then while in portait or landscape mode it freezes and doesn't wanna rotate anymore...reboot the phone and i'm good again.
I did a factory reset but that didn't solve it.
On the grey Note i used a Nillkin flip case and on the brown Note i'm using a zenus flip case but that shouldn't mess up my rotation right.
I read Samsung said it's a software bug in the latest firmware but if that was the case there would be a lot more threads here about this issue...so really don't know whats going on
2 brand new phones with the same issue...is it a software bug...is it the cases...is it a faulty device...don't know.
Thinking of rooting it and flash a rom with an older firmware to see if that solves it but reading a lot about the imei issues with the latest firmware and i'm on the latest firmware cause it's a new device so don't have a old efs backup to try out some older firmwares
Other users nu rotation issues??

I have tried several apps in the market and the only one that worked while having the issue is the one you posted ( so if i don't find a solution i'm gonna buy that app )
But i would like to know if it's a software bug like Samsung claims and if there are more users with the same issue...or...if there is something wrong with my phone ( witch i doubt cause i have the same issue on 2 new different Note's and after a reboot everything works perfect for a couple of days...and that app wouldn't work if it's a problem with the phone )

i used to have that problem on an old rom, but newer ones work fine for me.
usually toggling auto-rotate off and on worked for me to fix rotation.
and i think getting that app is a good idea anyway.
i have it set to only override specific apps to give them better rotation or upside-down rotation, and to lock rotation to the current state instead of reverting to portrait when i turn off auto-rotate.

Toggling auto-rotate off and on doesn't solve it ( very irritating when the issue comes in landscape mode cause then the only way to use the phone is in landscape lol )...only way to get it back to normal is a reboot.
I'm gonna get that app to solve it for now and hope that a new software update fixes it...or i'm gonna root the phone and try some roms and see if the issue stays.
Do you think it's a software bug or a device fault?

Hi, Im new to the forum but used roms for another device in the past.
I wasnt able to find information regarding to this trough days, my phone touchscreen stops working randomly on stock rom [15.1.c.1.17], have anyone had this problem? Is it sw or hw related?
Thanks, phone is awesome when the ts works but this is driving me crazy... thanks
If you haven't modify the software then it must be hardware related.
What modifications did you do? Did it have the problem from the start(when you bought it)?

If it doesn't happen under specific conditions (for instance, while playing the game, or during the call), it is most likely hardware related, my best bet is that screen digitizer is either faulty or not connected properly to the motherboard. Have you dropped/spilled something on your phone? If not, you should return your phone for a warranty repair.
Its randomly occuring, its fixed after reboot or it will work itself again after a while, sometimes a couple of minutes others a couple hours, phone is new, bough on jan 17. Havent dropped it or spilled anything on it... problem is I updated from stock rom from the provider to an official by sony and dont have a backup of it :/.
Update to the newest version ends in 2.8 that's the newest one see if that helps

Hi. I got new a5-2017 2days ago and observed that its proximity sensor ocasionally stop working for unknown reason. At such time, I need to reboot the phone to fix it instantly. Its looking related to the software, not a hardware problem, because it get fixed after restarting the device. I'm running everything stock yet, and looking for any type of solution to fix this problem permanently (if there is any).
I have a Same problem, bit no solution
Seems like we need to wait for samsung to fix it...
