[Q] Sensors Work And Stop Working - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I own a Galaxy S4 I9505 device.
Earlier I was running the stock based Custom ROM (Imperium 16.1, Android 4.4.2) on my S4 and there was no problem at all. That ROM gave me supreme performance, stability and battery life.
And then official Lollipop (5.0.1) was released by Samsung. I flashed the latest stock based custom Lollipop ROM on my device and the problem started (or may be the problem started because I have dropped my device once).
Now what happens is ... after I flash a ROM everything is working fine. But then after some uncertain period all the sensors stop working on the device.
Sometimes the issue is resolved by a simple restart, at times I have to clear the Cache and sometimes I have to clear the Cache and Dalvik Cache**.
All the sensors start working and after some time suddenly, all the sensors stop working.
I have tried all stock based Custom Lollipop ROMs and even AOSP based Lollipop ROMs, but this problem is persistent with all the Lollipop ROMS.
I have even tried Original Lollipop Firmware (flashed through odin), but the problem persists.
I open the back-cover and tightened all the screws, thinking it could resolve the issue. But the problem persists.
I am not able to decipher if this is a Software or Hardware issue.
Can anyone help me on this? Has anyone faced this type of problem? :crying:
I am not sure if this is the right place to post such a question. If it isn't please guide me to a proper thread.
Thanks

Since you just said you drop the phone.. i think it has something to do with that... looks like a hardware issue..

@radz.min thanks for the screen shot .... you think it could be a hardware issue ... but as i mentioned .... sensors work good for half an hour or so and then they stop working ... if it was a hardware issue ... it should not work at all .... right ??

[Q] charging issues need ur opinion

hey all . i have galaxy S2 gt-i9100g and i posted here because i found no Q&A for that .
i have 9100g was on stock 4.1.2 , i flashed a couple roms (CM11 , PA , CRDroid,.......) and now i settled on PA beta6
i have this strange issue when my phone won't charge or recognize a connected USB port , it happens rarely and when it does a reboot is enough to fix it .
Is this software realted (kernel or so ...) or hard ware related ??
Oh and how can i revert back to stock official i found no 4file flash with bootloader and pit so i got afraid i might end up with a brick or a bootloop
please help me guys
Please tell does it have the same issue on other roms? Or are you encountering this issue only on Paranoid Android?
I had about same issue with my i9100. When I charge my phone it stuck at same percent for a while (10 or 20 minutes maybe). My solution is observe your battery voltage with Battery voltage s app and try to charge when battery voltage is at 3500mV.

i tried alot of roms like CM11 and CR rom and slim cat all had the same issue now after the latest update of CM11 i think the issue is solved 2 days and all is going well .... what do you think could it be kernel related !!
It seems like ...! It occurs due to kernel... i havent experienced such kind of issue but it is a kernel issue.

[HELP] Camera not working!!

Hello guys, the camera on my CHD has stopped working from a few days, at first I thought this was a software issue because the camera would randomly work sometimes, I tried almost on all roms, the camera didn't work and just two days ago I flashed the KK 4.4.2 and the camera apk itself is missing from the system so I think its a hardware issue.
So if anybody had this problem earlier, or knows any solution for this please help me.
The thing is I don't think the camera unit is faulty because sometimes it opens when i press hard above the camera unit on its connector. So I'm not 100% sure on what problem it is..
Any help/advice is welcome..
Thank you

It could be a hardware prob , i encountered the no camera app prob after installing GAPPS in CM11 and The pacman rom , i reflashed it without GAPPS and now its working, so try that.

Galaxy Light CM12 Rom

Hello everyone! I have recently install the CM12 ROM for my galaxy light and everything seems to be working. The only major issue is that the calling doesn't work. Does anyone know how to fix this or where i go into the files of the ROM to fix it? Thanks for your time.
Because CM12 is still in "nightly" stages that also means it is not stable and there is no direct support. There will be bugs and the only thing you can do is either flash the latest nightlies and hope it works or flash a completely different rom. Fixing calling is not something you can do on your phone.
Thank you

Focus Fix issue

I in the past did not have the issue where the camera keeps making sound and can't focus at all, I've seen that devs have made special kernel for such users, is this issue permanent for all roms that I install henceforth or just on the current rom, if I flash a focus Fix kernel will its effect be on my current rom only or on all the roms I install after that? does focus Fix kernel restore it back to original state or you still have slight issue and hardware clicks? I'd appreciate answers!

Hi
Just like you I didn't have focuse issue but after I flashed a ROM with the fix now i have clicking sound and refocusing in videos. And I have this problem now in every ROM even the ROMs without the fix.
Now I'm trying to solve this problem, I hope rolling back to the official stock ROM will help me.
I don't recommend to install a ROM with the fix!

install pixel experience++ unofficial rom, you won't have the focus issue on that, it has no bugs except for the fact that volte doesn't work on it after reboot yet.

install pixel experience++ unofficial rom it won't have focus issue, you won't have volte on that after reboot though. it doesn't have any other bug that I know of
Does the Focus Issue problem work with Pixel Experience++ ?
Because i have the problem since i flashed a rom and the problem is still alive
i have tested many different camera apps but none fix the blurry pictures.
the focus works on a very low distance, but when you go outside and want to take a picture, they are always blurry..
I had the focus issue (blocked at 20 cm) and installing Resurrection Remix (RR-N-v5.8.5-20171006-x2-Final.zip), worked for me
