On RS1 (Lumia 730) I had the problem of sensors not working (auto brightness didn't work, ...) occasionally and restarting the device could fix it, although subsequent updates mitigated the problem.
But since upgrading to RS2, proximity and light sensors stopped working. It seems that the OS doesn't know they do exist! I tried various sensor apps (e.g. SensorInfo) and they didn't show these sensors.
Is there any known solution for this problem? Can be solved through registry?
Update: It solved by itself, though reappeared several times for short periods.

I have been hard resting my phone over and over again, sometimes it fixes it but after 2-3 hours the proximity sensor and rotate stop working all together, I have been attempting to flash my phone because I think it's a software issue, this started randomly happening for no reason, I was on lolipop before but i decided to update my phone to see if it fixes the issue. I tried to recalibrate my rotate sensor but the option is not there when it stops working. I am on t-mobile and I have no warranty, i bought this device off ebay. My OS is marshmallow 6.0.0.
Is there a fix to this issue or something?

So, I've moved to LineageOS with my Mi5 at lineage-14.1-20170620-nightly-gemini and everything was fine.
About a week ago I've updated to lineage-14.1-20170704-nightly-gemini and all worked well still.
But yesterday proximity sensor on my phone gone wild: it stopped to work in all situations, but started to work wrong for WhatsApp: if I press play on voice message, screen goes off and WA plays message in main speaker (top one).
Right now I've updated firmware to this (Developer 7.7.6 Firmware from https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/development/tool-flashable-firmware-twrp-easy-t3474898) and updated lineageOS to lineage-14.1-20170711-nightly-gemini but it didn't help.
Proximity sensor now looks completely dead: tried Sensor Box app from GoolePlay and it permanents shows 5.000305. Proximity sensor doesn't work during any calls, etc.
I found some topics with similar issue on Mi5 on miui forum, and sensor calibration seems to solve this issue on stock MIUI, but can't find any info about how to calibrate sensor on lineageOS.
Requesting any assistance, and especially from @bgcngm and @h2o64.
Thanks
Same problem here. Have you found any solution?
Best,

Does anybody has problem with proximity sensor in Android Pie?
For me it stops work after half day and only reboot helps. In Oreo I haven't this problem
I've gotten this problem during calls
Update: proximity sensor stop work in phone app. With other apps its works without problem.
Interesting. Has worked for me but I've only made a handful of calls since going to Pie.

new update: looks like I found why proximity stops work. I use Cube Call Recorder and this app after a couple calls "kills" proximity sensor in dialer app. I removed Cube and now everything ok.
I'm having this problem too, but I don't have any sort of call recording app. Randomly it just refuses to put the screen to sleep when I'm on a call. Really frustrating.
Same issue here, since few days I have notice that the proximity sensor during phone calls will not turn off the screen, only reboot restores sensor functionality that's annoying, also I have this pixel 2xl for 2weeks this is an irritating issue. Hope help comes soon.
P.S
No new software has been installed on this phone that I have not used on my previous phones essential ph1 and Samsung Galaxy S8.
Cheers.
Couldn't find this thread earlier.
I'm also facing the same issue now. Android Pie.
Anyone found a Solution?
#5 was my problem
I just noticed my lift to wake had stopped working.
Ran a sensor test and Accelerometer, gyroscope and compass were all reporting nothing.
Rebooted the phone and all working again !! It maybe a firmware issue or a hardware fault who knows.
Interesting! I'll keep an eye out for this issue - I haven't had this happen (yet).
