Okay so I have a big problem..
I got my Lg G3 lS990 late November of 2014 and I've had absolutely no problems till just a few hours ago. All of my sensors stopped working except the pressure sensor and magnetic field sensors. I've been trying to do research for the last 3 hours and I've had no avail.
At first I thought the auto rotate was just stuck, but then I ran some tests and the apps "Phone Tester" and "CPU-Z" from the play store both confirmed that my sensors were not even reading to the phone what so ever. And I have no clue what to do.
The phone has only gotten wet once and that was the day after I got it in 2014. As I was stepping out of the car my phone slipped out of my pocket and fell into the puddle I parked above. It didn't get fully submerged but the water tic did go red. But since that day its been in an otterbox like case and never once dropped from more than 4 inches of hight.
Phone info
LG G3 LS990 from Sprint
Rooted
Running 5.0.2 lollipop Candy5 ROM v0.9.1
I DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS UNTILL 11:30 LAST NIGHT. So there is no possible way it stopped working just now because of dropping it 4 months ago.
Pleaseeeeee help.
Did a factory reset, Soft reset, My next idea would be flash it back to unrooted stock and bring it to sprint

Have you tried using a Stock Rom? You're on Candy so who knows what's up.
Flash a Stock Rom and see what happens.
If that doesn't work, give Flashtool a whirl

Tried that earlier today. No success.. Any other suggestions??
Use the LG Flash tool to go back to stock completely and if that doesn't work then take it to Sprint. When you do flash it back to stock there are some special steps for the Sprint version.

I just tried to flash my phone with the preroot GB flash and it installed and when I rebooted my phone my touch screen will not work. so I tried to flash it back with the sbf and now im at the activation screen but the touch screen wont work. Any advice of what I can do?
try booting into stock system recovery and doing a data format and then try booting.
Someone On Rootzwiki Is Also Having This Problem Can't Get The Droid To Register Touch.
i believe most if not all of us occasionally lose touch responsivness until the screen is turned off and back on which only takes 2 seconds. But this problem is different of course...possibly related...

Thanks mike.
Ive been dealing with this same issue for atleast 5 hours now and im tired of sbf'ing............idk what to do.......
I booted into stock recovery and did a data reset and its still doesn't work. If I did a SBF will verizon be able to tell it was rooted? I don't want charged for a new phone I might just soak this one in some water.

If you sbf they can't tell you were rooted

No Touch Response
Is you phone charging? I had the same problem, but when I unplugged from charger all worked well (until I plugged it back in). I unplugged, went into recovery, factory reset, then did SBF and presto changeo, My phone responded to my touch
Also...
I have sent many phones back to Verizon, still rooted, and have NEVER been charged. When I call I do not tell them it was rooted. With SBF, as long as you cleared data/Factory reset first, there will be no indication it was rooted ever.
my phone is charging I unplugged it and im going to do a factory reset with out it plugged in and see what happens
Thread moved to proper forum since this is not android development.

Hi
My S3's camera flash randomly goes off. Seemingly more at night. Happens randomly, flickers, sometimes stays on for minutes. It stops when I open the camera app, but otherwise just seems to go off completely at random - doesn't matter what app I am in. Also happens when the phone is locked.
Anyone heard of this problem before? Any ideas how to fix it? Running 4.1.2, it's an I9300. It has always happened, flashing up to 4.1.2 the other week didn't change the behaviour.
Cheers
Steve.
bump.... anyone?
or am i destined for the repair shop?
Choices .
Restore backup .
Factory reset .
Flash stock firmware.
jje
Thanks for the response -- I've factory reset, and flashed a new firmware and it still occurs. Hmm... Is there a way to just disable the camera flash full stop? Don't really need it much...
Me two (three?)
Mine just started flashing randomly last night - pretty creepy at first as we couldn't figure out the source of light! Did it twice this morning so far, and at this point I'm just assuming it's because I upgraded to 4.3 yesterday (AT&T OTA update).

mine was some build up of some white matter on the circuit board near the flash. probably when i spilt beer on it.
cleaned it lightly with a toothbrush and it's fine now - perhaps open it up and have a look?
first I've tried about 4-5 roms from stock tw to aosp style.
I get a gps lock but it's waaaaay off, floats around and doesn't give me my true location, maps, ingress etc none of them work properly.
my auto rotate doesn't work on any rom, beans/alliance dn3 gummy etc, it doesn't matter. if an app is landscape it tends to work and i can force an app to rotate aside from my camera app however nothing that should rotate when I turn my phone on its side seems to work. I. basically deal with it however is starting to get frustrating, I've tried everything I can think of and can't get it to work.
any ideas on what might fix this or is a warranty replacement the best course of action.
and lastly my presence sensor won't work, in calls the screen doesn't turn off I have to manually turn it off, I don't understand. it used to work great I could just place my hand in front of it on calls and it worked, not anymore.
I'm thinking I should just get a warranty replacement my quandary is that I've got my bootloader unlocked and I'd like to get another note 2 with an unlocked bootloader, however I know that's more always possible.

Chances for getting another Note 2 with it still on 4.1.2 is slim, but there is a chance.
Thats is weird that all of sudden this problem started occurring.. You did not drop your phone or do something that may have effected these things?
Have you tried to Odin a Stock Recovery and perform a Factory Reset? You might want to give that a go and see if it solves these issues.. Also when testing GPS, I have always resorted to an app called GPS Toolbox. It works great!

I have dropped it a few times however it lives in a TPU case, I've never dropped it from higher than about waist high. though it is possible
I'll try to Odin this weekend, can you point me to the most up to date rootable odin, I've done some searching I'm just not sure which is best.

Use the Stock Recovery image in the stickied Data Corruption thread in the General Section..
well I've tried a couple of different methods, guess something really is broken... I'm going to go back to bone stock and call VZW to get a replacement, damn this sucks... I'm not going to be able to flash the stuff I want.
whatever as long as everything else works.
flashed back to VRAMC3 called VZW went through 90 minutes of troubleshooting and updated all the way to Kit-Kat... still doesn't work.
and to top it all off, my vibrate just started going really strange.
I'll have a new phone tomorrow, hopefully ghetto root works.
May Not Be THE Solution, But Finally Worked For Me!
So, I've been experiencing GPS issues on R3Ds Port S5, SlimKat, Paranoid, DN3, and Dirty Unicorns... been trying all the solutions being posted in the threads before factory resetting and starting all over.
BTW I use GPS Toolbox to test my GPS connections and get 0/0 satelllites.
In a last ditch effort, I loaded AllianceRom and GPS connected (20/20 Satellites with GPS Toolbox)!! I was starting to suspect that it was hardware until AllianceRom. As great of a Rom as it is, I will likely not stay on it unless I cannot get any of the other Roms to connect GPS.
I'll let this Rom run for about 4-5 hours and then with a GPS fix, try and re-install Dirty Unicorns or R3Ds and report back.
I'm hoping this can be a solution for a least a few, if not all (wouldn't that be nice) of you experiencing the same issues as I was.
got a CLNR last week and everything works great.
sadly, no roms fixed the issue and now I'm on locked bootloader ND7.
on the bright side ghetto root worked and wanam xposed is at least a decent way to get what I want, manually editing my the files to increase volume etc is a pain, however it's better than nothing.
glad to hear alliance fixed your gps, hopefully it stays fixed.

The other week I noticed when I got back home that my WiFi was connected but had a "!" next to it. Couldn't fix it so I decided to try a marshmallow ROM. I'm having issues with notifications on M so wanted to go back to L, every ROM I tried is giving me the "!" next to my WiFi. None of the Marshmallow ROMs are doing that.....?

I've been having wifi issues for 3 weeks now. Phone connected fine for over a year. Can't really pin point it to what rom/roms started the problem, but I did tot restore, no help. I even took ota's up to zvb, no help. I re-rooted phone, no help. I did tot again, & took ota's all the way up to zvc, doing factory data reset from stock recovery in between. No help, next to call Sprint, see what can be done. I'm defiantly thinking its hardware.

I gave up, I don't seem to have the issue on any marshmallow ROMs so I've just stuck to them. Glad to hear it didn't just happen to me, have you tried any 6.0 ROMs?

Hi guys,
I'm still on Nougat 7.1.2 with my Swift 2+. I'm waiting for the OTA, don't want to side load if I can help it.
I'm trying to get an idea of the proportion of people that are still waiting for their OTA and those that have already received it.
EDIT: nobody received Oreo via the OTA? oh boy...
I just got the OTA, posting this from Oreo
I manually updated (to check for OTA), and am downloading it now
Updated to 8.1 using the official download and now stuck in boot loop. Fortunately remembered to back up my data first.
Update - factory reset got me going again. The next day the battery crashed to 0% charge in no time at all.
All OK now... fingers crossed.
wish I had not chaged to Ori,,
Hi
Have two swift 2x phones in family
my one received the OTA wedensday,
performed the change,
now have no on line data, only over wifi,
Some paramiter like ATP that needs changing but Virgin does not knwo how to
Other phone received invitation to change to 8.1,
weve declined for now thank you....
Mine works fairly well, except for a camera issue (and less than stellar battery life).
wish I had not chaged to Ori,,
AN update on this
It seems to be a Virgin "feature"
Managed t get the phone to have mobile data now,
virgin did some tweaking,
so updated the other wiley fox phone,
thats on Id, and upgraded perfectly

No issues with the camera? I can't make any pictures or movie clips.

Did initially have camera problem,
but after power of and reset,
all good,
after received the phone did 3 OTA upgrades in a row, 2 nougat then oreo. After oreo you have to restart the phone to make camera work again. Still I wish there was LOS or RR or AEX roms on 8.1
Turns out it was an issue with my SD card (128GB, which is not officially supported). With 32GB it works fine. Still disappointing (because it worked before the update)
Got it last night.
Phone been utterly terrible since.
Just done a factory reset hoping it would fix it.
It's taking time to re-setup because of constant repeating steps..
This update has made my phone so much poorer.
I thought it might be the SD card so I went from 64gb down to 32gb.
I even made the SD portable instead.
Done 3 factory resets...
It's randomly (but often!) unresponsive
