Every sensor in my phone has stopped working after updating to KitKat. Going in *#0*# and hitting Sensor reveals that they are indeed not working at all. I have tried factory restoring my phone, rooting it, and installing different roms and kernels but none of these have fixed it.
Does anyone have any ideas?

While in a call the screen, doesnt turn off properly and some keys get pressed most of the time calls get disconnected for me..
any one else facing this issue.
I have tried on wolfreaks rom as well as MIUI by trip and i face the above issue.
however it works fine with the stock ROM.
most of the custom roms use sensor libs compiled from source. You can still have the proximity sensor in custom roms. You have to just replace the libs with SE's but they are slow and buggy because of the compatibility layer.
First post.
My wifes Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE from Rogers (i727R) which came with 2.3.5 got some water spilled on it. After letting it dry out the phone works fine but the camera just gives a "camera failed" error and the screen auto rotate doenst work at all in any app.
I got the camera working for a bit after doing a factory reset but but it stopped again a few days later. This made me think it was a software issue so I rooted the phone and tried flashing the stock rom back on using Odin which did not help either issue. To rule out that it is corrupted software, is there anything else I should try? New kernel?
When I enter *#0*# and go into the sensor test area, the accelerometer and magnetic sensors do not seem to be working. Gyroscope is working.
If more info is needed, let me know.
Thanks
Use this app to test if they are working: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bartat.android.elixir&hl=en.
Thanks for the help. I installed elixer and looks like the accelerometer, gravity, linear acceleration, magnetic field, orientation and rotation vector sensors are not working.

So that means it's a hardware problem. You'll have to carry it back under warranty (hopefully you have one).
That brings me to my next question.
I rooted and flashed the stock rom on with Odin, hoping that would fix it since the issue was initially fixed with a factory reset. Thought maybe a driver or something got corrupted.
From browsing the forums, it appears there is no way to reset the flash counter yet. Is that correct? If so, would it be worth waiting a while in hopes a fix comes out to reset the counter?

Only a few devices are able to reset the flash counter (so far). You could try flashing a custom rom and see what happens.
NB.: Even if you could reset the counter, that wouldn't really benefit you in this case.
I have screen rotation problem,samsung s2 gt-i9100, android version 4.1.2. Screen rotation works sometimes on strange angles. Already tried calibrating but still not fix.
I tried flashing another kernel to solved the problem using SiyahKernel S2-v6.0beta5 but it doesnt rotate anymore no matter how i tilt the phone. I've been repeatedly doing restore factory settings, wipe cache stil not solved.
I've tried dialing *#0*# and go to accelerometer sensor, it seems okay, the needles are moving. I've also tried installing "bubble level" app, the bubble moves, the sensor seems okay.
Again, tried flashing another firmmware XXMS7 Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean but still not work.
Is there another solution to this problem?
Well this might come out confusing, but my sensors (Proximity,Light Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope etc) don't work. Or sometimes just start working randomly for like a minute and then stop again. I've tried soft reset, hard reset, I've flashed the firmware through Odin but it still continues to act moody. Please help?
maybe go to samsung to replace your device with a new one, or just buy a new phone?

Download phone info samsung off play store. Go across to sensors and see of that app picks them all up as working? If it does it will most likely be firmware. If not probably hardware
Can someone help me if this problem occurred to anyone? One fine day it just stopped working all off a sudden.
It's not working with any camera app, even the stock camera app, but the iris scanning works.
When using the iris scanner, I can see that the front camera is working.
Also, by entering *#0*#, the front camera works.
I have also tried flashing the stock firmware, resetting the whole device plenty of times, but it just doesn't work.
Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks!
