Have N9005 version, 5.0 android installed. Yesterday I noticed weird lines and distorsion in camera mode (had a same problem 10 days ago, restart device solved the problem, also had it bk in January, flashing other KK stock kernel helped). They are always present, especialy in low light conditions. I flashed back KK and changed kernel, nothing helped. Could be a hardware problem?
Heres sample...
And... it is not related with wifi or data networking or with app itself. (Tried google camera...)
Heres another..
Cant be that no one had this problem? This is a second time in this year that Im having this issue.
Hello. I have a half year Xiaomi phone, model Redmi 3s. Two days ago I was forced to put him up again, I uploaded a new rom. Everything works well, unfortunately from the beginning there is no notification light under the button at the bottom. The LED only works when the phone is plugged in for charging. If there comes a notification from Facebook or Messenger nothing happens, does not blink. The same goes for unanswered calls or low battery (usually glowing red). MiFlash's new rom, this is the version of Redmi 3S/Prime Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File.
I had the same dumb problem, so I switched to LOS 13 by fedosis and problem got solved. MIUI, while eye-catching, can be really, really Meh with it's dumb problems... :cyclops:

You posted about this over at official MIUI forums. According to your thread there and for the record, your problem is now solved.
It would be nice if you could share with us how your problem was solved. It may help someone later if they come looking for answers to the same issue.
On MIUI since 8.1 you have to enable LED notification per app. It's disabled by default.
I don´t know if it´s a coincidence or not, but I a few days after the update to Oxigen OS 3.6.1 I noticed that the proximity sensor and light sensor of my ONEPLUS 2 stopped working.
I used AndroSenor and Sensor box from the PlayStore, and both os them say thar the proximity and light sensors are missing.
I had a remote session with a ONEPLUS L2 specialist and they wiped my phone and reflashed the latest ROM (ver. 3.6.1), but the problem wasn´t solved..
I guess that, if the sensors don´t appear in the apps I mentioned maybe it´a a hardware problem, but I would like to hear more opinions.
If anyone has any suggestion to try to solve this problem before sending it to repair (out of warranty)??
flash persist.img from fastboot
backup all your info
in some cases it will help
hi there!
I seem to be having quite a similar problem, though, my sensors work, but stop responding after an unspecified period of time (can be anywhere between minutes and hours).
I tried flashing several roms (oreo, nougat) and yesterday i flashed Oreo Pixel Experience (just pure ROM+OP5 camera, no root no custom kernel just to rule out a few things) but the issue remains. Important to mention, i always clean flash.
The best way to describe the issue is: "sometimes the proximity and light sensor just stop working and i dont really know why" which is obviously causing a whole bunch of issues with auto brightness, making calls, picking up when someone calls etc.
The thing is, everything works after a reboot...but only for some time...then the sensors go "offline".
sometimes they work for a couple of hours, even a day...sometimes they die after half an hour or something. I have a feeling that i see them die faster when i have my phone in the pocket and leave it idle for a while, and when i use my phone often and dont really give the phone time to rest they live longer. It almost feels as if the phone goes to some deep sleep when idle for some time, disconnects the sensors, but doesnt turn them on again when woken up.
tried flashing the persist.img as advised just above, but it doesnt seem to have an effect.
anyone has any good idea?
thanks!
allright, being desperate from not being able to use my phone in a normal way i flashed OOS 3.6.1 from official zip files that can be downloaded from oneplus.net support section, using OP recovery and surprise surprise - sensors are working flawlessly! so im ruling out the HW problem. I think im going to stick to OOS for a while to monitor the sensors and eventually im going to try flashing oreo again.
ok, last update from my side: after two days on OOS where everything worked fine i flashed Pixel Oreo build and sensors continue working just fine! so, whoever is experiencing strange behavior of his sensors, i recommend the same approach.

You still have working sensors?
I have exactly the same behavior as you mentioned in your first post. FRUSTRATING!
I've tried flash lineageos 15.1 ROM, no luck. New persist.img from official fastboot oos ROM but no luck either.

Hi! Yes, my sensors are still working just nicely.

So good for you ?
Before when your sensors struggled, did they also disappear from any sensor test app. Or did they just not work?
My prox sensor did not disappear but just hangs at 0 or 5cm if I check the value in any sensor app. And light turns 0 Lux also.
I've similar problem. Went completely stock as suggested but the problem persisted.

Well mine didnt really "dissappear" either. They "froze" too. Lux froze at whatever value it measured the last however i am almost certain it was never exactly 0. Prox behaved the same as you describe: 0 or 5.

Interesting. I'm going to flash OOS recovery and latest OOS ROM later today and give it a try.

My lightsensor always freezes at 0 Lux. And when the prox freeze at 0 its impossible to quit a call. So f*cking frustrating so I have to fix this problem ASAP
I have the same problem with my LUX device, sometimes the sensors work randomly. When I reboot my phone the sensors stop working. The screen does not rotate, the most interesting thing is that it did flash the Moto camera mod and the rotation works perfectly with the camera, with the stock camera there is no rotation.
UPDATE:
I scheduled a remote session with Oneplus L2 Team and they performed a full factory reset of all partitions. No luck, problems still persist.
It must be a hardware problem.
In my case I sent the smartphone to them and they said it was a problem with the motherboard.
Hi all.
I installed Nitrogen OS Oreo with the full knowledge that the LED didn't light up when charging. However, with my brief use of it, the LED never lit up for anything. Since the battery life wasn't to my liking, I installed Fake Nexus 7.1 ROM. The LED still never lit up.
So, I installed Google's stock image for 5.1.1 LMY48T, figuring that should fix things. That didn't work either. "Pulse notification light" is set to on.
I installed LED Tester and it's able to make the LED light up in all its glorious colors, so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
The LED worked fine before installing Nitrogen OS Oreo.
Any idea what happened? Anyone know how to fix it?
Thank you.

Wipe everything and install stock and check.

Installing the stock image wipes everything. Thanks, though.
Since the battery life of the stock image isn't so great, I thought I'd be adventurous and install LineageOS 14.1. last night Somehow doing that has made the LED work again. I'll leave it installed for now and see if I like it.
So I guess the problem is solved, though it's still a mystery.
So, I'm experiencing this weird camera issue. The phone says taht it could not start the camera or that the camera is already in use. But then, if I turn off the device for something like a day or two, once I turn it on again the camera starts working properly until I reboot the phone. I already tried to flash stock rom, firmware, whatsoever, but it didn't work. I also tried may custom roms, but the behaviour is always the same. Would you have any suggestions? Right now I'm running A12 Pixel Extended ROM.
