Placement of some sensors - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear friends,
Perhaps you know the location of accelerometer, gyro on the G4 motherboard? I looked for hardware placement on the web but couldn't find.
Thank you

Proximity Sensor damage from prolonged use?

Hi Guys,
Just wondering what your thoughts and experiences are on this:
If I use the Quick Glance Motion mode in the N2... I believe constantly keeps the proximity sensor fired up.
Can this continuous and prolonged use damage the Proximity sensor? I bought my phone outright from CL... so I am not quite covered for replacement with Sprint if that happens, so I wanna be safe than sorry... thanks!
Well, I've not heard of this happening, however there are two parts to the sensor.
There is an IR emitter which is a simple IR LED like you'd find in the front of a remote control. You can verify this is working by looking at the face of your Note 2 with another CMOS based camera such as those on another cell phone. The 1st hole to the right of the speaker at the top of the phone is the IR emitter. You may be able to see a faint red glow from it as well when it's active.
The other sensor isn't as easy to test, the IR receiver which is the 2nd hole to the right of the speaker. One option is to use the built in test mode by going to your dialpad and entering *#7353#
After that its option 11 I believe for the prox sensor test. It's fairly simple to use.
In the end, proximity is a very simple IR light and receiver. nothing fancy to it. It's not out of the realm of possibility, but out of the things that could break on the phone those would be my last guesses.
Good luck!

Thank you aramova, for walking me through this stuff. I have to admit, I have never hear of this sensor going bad due to continuous and prolonged use, but something about the sensor staying red/orange in color, all the time made me think... something could go bad here... guess not, since no one reported this ever...
If anyone else has something different to report here, please share guys... Thank you!

Easy FIX!!!!!
I took a can of compressed air and blew it through the top earpiece grill a few times and Voila, it works great now!!
I actually used a Old perfume can which perfume was over and it was only pressing Gas OFF!!

Barometer and pedometer sensors

Hello,
Does OP3 have barometer and dedicated pedometer sensors? Specification isn't clear on those two.

Barometer sensor

Gsmarena says in the specs that oneplus 3 has a barometer sensor, but several barometer/ sensors apps failed to list it or give a reading. Is it a problem with my phone or we don't have a pressure sensor?
We don't have a pressure sensor. After all humans write stuff in gsmarena and they might be expecting too much from this phone

Xiaomi Mi 5s camera replacement focus issue

So I got a main camera replacement (from ebay), since my old camera has weird blurry spots on the lens. The replacement camera fixes this issue, but seems incapable of focusing on far objects. Alright, just a camera with a broken autofocus, I'd think. What's weird is that I can hear and see the autofocus working on objects <2 m. For instance, the camera makes good macro photos and adjust the focus when I adjust the distance to the object. Does anyone have a explanation or a possible solution to this problem? I'm afraid of another hardware issue, but I'm hoping someone could at least explain what's wrong.
ps. I tested with and without the lens cover to exclude a dirty cover from creating the problems
Thanks in advance!
Most cheap camera replacement out there is not original.
Check it again if it's original or not

Proximity sensor

Although Honor claims that 9X Pro does have a proximity sensor, the reality is different. Unfortunately, mine does not have a physical proximity sensor. It is not a big deal, but they should be honest with their customers at least.
Does your 9X Pro lacks physical proximity sensor also?
