error sensor proximity xiaomi mi5 - LineageOS Questions & Answers

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-...-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.

[Solved] Sensors not working

Hello,
my wife and I both have a Pixel C because it is very convenient for surfing etc.
Yesterday I realized the ambient light sensor on mine stopped working (adaptive brightness not working) and today on my wifes Pixel nearly all sensors stopped working (screen rotation, compass, ... not working).
Using the app "Sensors Multitool" on her tablet I only get those menu entries: "Battery", "WIFI", "Light" and "Distance" (translated names from german). Those are all working.
On my own Pixel I get many more (e.g. Gyroscope, Acceleromator, ...). Light and distance are shown but both receive no useful/no values from the sensors. All others beside of those two are working.
I already tried to factory reset and wipe cache on my wifes tablet - not working
Any further ideas? To me it sounds like hardware defect on both tablets..
There was an update to the secondary processor (EC) code with the Feb OTA, so its possible that its a software glitch - assuming you have updated. Judging from the current known issues, there seems to be some source of variation which makes testing some of this software tricky...
I flashed the old version (6.0.1 (MXB48J)) but sadly it didn't work I guess this also downgrades the code for the EC? Any further ideas? Looks like we've got to send both of them back for a replacement....
Flashing the latest Android N Dev Preview fixed the sensors for me!!
My wifes Pixel got replaced without any problems So everything good from our side.

Cyanogenmod 14.1 Camera, Rotation, Proximity sensor not working

Hi there,
I have cyanogenmod 14.1 update 20161217, and I've been having an issue since I updated to 14.0. Like I said in the title, my camera says it can't connect, my phone won't rotate, and the proximity sensor isn't working. Does anyone know if these are normal bugs that will be fixed later, or it's just an isolated case?
Any help is much appreciated.

[Q] Proximity and Light Sensors Issue

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.

Xiaomi Mi5 proximity sensor died

Same problem here. Have you found any solution?
Best,

General Lift to wake stopped working

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).
