I just noticed that my proximity sensor is not working. Any suggestions on how to check if it is hardware or some type of file issue? Thanks to anyone with help.

Well what did you do to your phone prior to it not working?
The only thing I can think of is I flashed Miui for a few days. No modes no nothing.

Its not working with all your saved and newly flashed roms? Or you have not tested it with nandroids. Also there are sensors files out there that you can try and push over to test it out.
*#*#3424#*#* of a physical hardware test for your phone. that test everything from your touchscreen to your sensors. A well as your speaker n earpiece. Hope this helps ya

Thanks all for your help. Looks like its toast. Time to unroot and return. Sucks!

Not sure if it'll help or not....but this can tell you if the system even sees the sensor and will test it for you too.

Go to the sensors tab & see if your proximity sensor is even recognized.

What I see is that the prox sensor shows up, which is good. What will determine if you have a software issue is when you are on that screen, put your thumb over the sensor. Does the reading of "far" change to "near"? The sensor is on the front of the phone just below the silver speaker grille and just to the right of "hTC". If the reading changes, then it's most likely a software issue.

Ok. So the reading does not change. I guess that means hardware fail?

I do believe so.
unroot, put it back to stock. Doublecheck sensor again, then take it to sprint.

I'm finding that hard to believe...lol
But it's not Google+'s problem.
Driver issues.
Have him take his phone back.
Well I don't see why he would lie.... but I'll suggest it to him.

Maybe he's not lying but doesn't know which way is up?
Some people are vertically challenged you know.
I'm pretty sure that isn't the issue. But thanks for trying.

Which phone did he have? I believe some phones have this problem when sending video through the ffc.

This. The HTC EVO had this problem running CM7
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
one of you is using a custom ROM that broke it. probably him.
I had an issue similar to this with Fring once. I as using an SGS running CM7 and my GF was on an X-Play with stock 2.3. I know it's not SGN related, but I've seen upside down video before. Never fixed it.
sorry for the off topic, but can we start a video chat from our phone only with g+? I never tried video chat of any kind and wanted to try it but have nobody else i know using g+...
Yes you can use g+ to video chat if Tue other person has g+.... I have a fully stock gnex and he has a 4g evo... I told him it was his phone and he kept blaming mine...either way just thought I would see if anyone else had this issue

I'm seeing the same results

My wife's phone and my phone have exactly the same issue you're describing.
I've logged the issue here:
productforums.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/google-plus-discuss/1nCabs7zTns
Google+ Build version 3.0.1.32017166 running on Android 2.3.5. (4.67.651.3) (Sprint).
and Google+ Build version 3.0.1.32017166 running on Android 2.3.7 (CyanogenMod 7.2.0) also running on EVO via Sprint.
It could very well be an EVO issue.
Sometimes when recording a video, there are vertical lines. And, sometimes when I initiate the camera app, there's just a black screen. Any of these issues fixable? Running stock 2.3.6

Does it do this with other camera apps?

OP i have the same problem im sending it to samsung for repair
Haven't tried with other apps cause I actually love the stock camera.
I have an HTC Evo and an eee-pad docking station that's currently put for repair..... This issue isn't that much of a deal for me to send back. Guess I'll just deal with it.

Maybe you should try an ICS rom such as stock rooted fe22 and see if the camera still acts up?

Thb.... Kinda nervous to root cause this device could be hard bricked.... Lol. Would rather just wait for the official ics release

I bought this phone a few months ago and knew ahead of time the camera had previous issues. Thing is, it appears to be both hardware AND software related. The front camera works for face unlock in certain roms. The camera app on any rom results in it opening but when pressing anything in the camera I get a freeze and a force close. Same goes for any app that tries to use the led flash. Has anyone had something similar to this issue? Im curious what the cause is, also, has anyone tried physically swapping the part out and can give any tips?

Seems to be a hardware issue. Have you tried checking the connection on the motherboard? I have never had issues with software unless I forgot to check hardware connections.

Yeah I just ordered a tool kit with the screws required. Gonna take a look at it and hopefully If it works I can turn quite a profit. I bought this phone for 40 dollars.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
Took the phone apart and checked the camera. I replugged it back in and it still did not work. Order a new camera for 10 dollars on ebay and will try again.

If that doesn't work, you should do a one click restore to stock. That could possibly fix it.

Update : Ordered a new camera, came about 10 minutes ago in the mail. I replaced it and everything is working fine. For future reference. I'd the back camera does not work, neither will the flash. My flash did not work until I replaced the faulty camera.

Just found out that mine doesn't pass through the aligning part either. I wonder how many more people have this issue..
Photosphere doesn't work on my Nexus either.

Any updates on this issue?

It is really strange, it seems like a hardware issue but when I do the testing either gaming o with Z-device test app everything is working just like my Nexus 4 :S.
Alright I guess I'm taking mine back and asking for a replacement.

Seems to be on the same angle as the OP's
According to the sticker on the box, mine was manufactured China 2013.07
Same problem for me too. Completely stock.
Tried it today:
No probs on mine . . .
Batch 2013-08 China, bought in Germany
Just wondering, particularly if photo sphere isn't working on your nexus 7 2013, if you install AccelermoterTest does the ball move to the bottom left corner - even when the device is on flat ground? Mine does... maybe hardware fault?
