Almost positive I know what this is, I encountered it regularly when testing firmware and potential root methods. Several parts of your firmware must be at the same version or if they are not, this is the exact failure mode I would encounter.

Flashing a new entire firmware, and flashing every file (BL, AP, CP, CSC) and not skipping any parts. If things work after this was your problem

s8 sensors not working

Hi there, it looks like im facing this exact same problem on my exynos galaxy s8. I have been using this phone for 3 months, never dropped it, not even a single mark is present on my phone. This exact problem started on my phone when i restarted it and noticed that my iris scanner was not responding. And you can guess the rest. I tried everything i could from restarting to booting safe mode and clearing cache partition but no luck.

If you have found a way to fix this issue or a workaround please let(us) know.

Here are some screenshots from the support feedback and they acknowledge that is possibly a software issue.

The same problem in S8 SM-G950F - version TPA in the G950FXXU1AQL5 firmware

Hi,

I have a friend with a S8 SM-G950F - version TPA in the G950FXXU1AQL5 firmware (December update, like you), with the same problem all the sensors stopded, the phone has 3 months. And we want to dongrade to versión QJ5 but We don´t know if the knox will be tripping.

All sensors not working on Note 8

Hi All,

Have the same problem with my Note 8 Dual Sim as well. I have warranty on the phone, when i went to Samsung they said its a problem with the updates. This happened to me twice and got the phone replaced as well but last Friday it happened on the replacement phone as well with the Oreo update after about two weeks of functioning correctly.

If any of the developers can let me know if there is a work around for this please let me know.

Thanks in advance

I have had this exact same problem with my galaxy S8+ for 1,5 months already. Has been through 2 software updates ever since, but still not fixed. Everything was fine before the update on the 25th March '18 and suddenly alI sensors are gone (except finger print). If anyone has any solution, please let us know... :( :( :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] elacusta.jr:
Anyone got a solution for this? A friend of mine had the same problem this week with his Samsung Galaxy S8+. All apps and software were already updated and from one day to another, the Iris Sensor stopped working. After that he noticed that also the proximity sensor stopped working. When he asked me for help, I checked the Sensors Multitool and all sensors were gone. So I found this forum with more people with the same problem. His phone is just 2 weeks old.

And what worries me more is that I bought one 6 days ago. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] canjicaw:
Then everyone has the problem. Me too. Did anyone get the solution when doing the downgrade?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] thedisturbedone:
I noticed this yesterday. Up until a couple of days back everything was working just fine. I didn't change anything on system level within the past 2 days although I am on a custom rom. I tried reflashing the rom and flashing a different kernel. Nothing helped.

Does flashing stock rom do anything? I don't have time to do it just yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Muhaz007:
Had the same problem

1 months back I had the same problem on my galaxy s8,I tried restoring,spoke with Samsung customer care,but that didn't help.as the phone was purchased from Dubai I had to send it back to claim warranty,and I got the sensor parts replaced.but the water resistant won't be the anymore.

Samsung now focus on galaxy s9,they manufactured the phone with cheap parts yet taking more price for purchase.

Never ever I my life I'm buying a Samsung product again
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] vickysenthil:
Downgrade didnt help. tried everything other than rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] elacusta.jr:
After all, the solution was sending the phone to Samsung Repair Shop and they replaced the motherboard.

My wife and I use the same series (S8). She just got an update few days ago, all sensors are fine, while mine is another stories..all the the sensor just not working anymore.

Apparently it affected particular phone only.

Did anyone found solution on this beside changing the motherboard?

I know some folks try to downgrade but no luck..anyone try anything else?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] AjitBharat:
Bought S8 from the Middle East .. Relocated to India n using it since 3 months.

Was getting regular Updates from Samsung Jul 1st update.. BHAM all my sensors gone.

Shame sung, said NO WARRANTY for phone ... for their messed up update.

53K phone is now a feature phone with curved display and finger print scanner.

Thinking to send it back to the Middle East where Shame sung hoping their warranty would take care.

If anyone has a solution, please do post. Not sure how I can roll back to a previous version with Smart Switch

Other methods not sure if I would loose warranty in any way.

Here are the Phone details incl the latest Update version :(

Reasons of all sensors not working

I am Using Samsung S8 (duos) and also faced the same problem. after June update came all sensors accept the fingerprint are frozen. :(

i found most of the user who has facing this problem like me has bought the mobile from one carrier(like Middle East-XSG) and tried to install their own carrier (like INS)through odin.

and until June 1 update came everything was OK.

now except root the device i have tried all the things like some other carrier firmware but there's no luck.

If there any one who did not try any odin or changed any carrier and faced this problem.

coz i am thinking may this is the only reason i am facing this issue...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] AjitBharat:
Guess I am SOLJWF

.. contd ... After so many customer calls etc .. Samsung DENIED any help. and asking me pay 18k for the motherboard (If there is such a thing in that phone)

Most of the Service Center Executives have advised me to take an adamant stand on the issue.

Many people have got their handsets covered ... the idea is to Talk tough with the customer care , Make your points clear and threaten them with dire consequences

Why I did not try the above ? ... coz I have an option to send this trash free of cost, back to the Middle East for repairs.

First time I invested nearly half a lakh on a Flagship phone ... Had been a Samsung fan until now.

Me being a phone expert among relatives n friends, never going to recommend Samsung ever again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] WunKiet:
I am living in Myanmar (Burma) and using Galaxy Note 8 SM-N950F/DS. All the updates work well. But, last 3 days ago, I installed update of Samsung Experience that was released on July 5, 2018. After that all my sensors except finger print sensor stop working.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] AjitBharat:
So sorry for you mate .... Could you tell us, where did you buy this device from ? and is it under Warranty ?

- Also did you try wiping the cache and Factory reset the phone ?

... Use Smart Switch to back up your contents. / Run Smart Switch as Admin, also Uncheck the SD card back else it would take atleast 5 hours to respond. So only take backup of your phone.

Sad that Samsung has turned worse than a Chinese brand :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] WunKiet:
I bought from Samsung official shop 5 months ago and it is under warranty now. I wiped cache but not yet factory reset. It did not fix anything. I am waiting for next security update patch which may include fix. If it is not fixing it, I will try for factory hard reset. If factory reset is not yet fixing, I must go to Samsung service center. I am kind of busy guy and I want to fix it as much as by myself.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] AjitBharat:
Please , do not wait for next update. Who knows when it would come.

Also right now ... your phone is unreliable ...

Few stuffs for you to be aware

- Check the battery, it would be draining pretty fast

- Camera APP, do not shoot in Panorama mode else your Camera App too would go off

- Camera Focus , Flash etc would have stopped working.

Samsung is looking for people to buy more of their crap... so they might delay you stating the parts are unavailable and you will have to wait etc as more people report this ... eventually once they get a reason that your Warranty is VOID, you are SOLJWF .. you will have to pay 40% of the phones price to get it repaired.

My advice , Take it to the customer care IMMEDIATELY before things cascade into more severe stuffs.

This way, you will get ample time to "Verify" their repairs and report further problems while still under warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BeToven:
What version did you use to downgrade?

Using Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] WunKiet:
I checked my phone at Samsung service center and they explained me that it was motherboard fault. They repaired and tested waterproofness and give me certificate of ip68 test pass.

Sensor not working

How much it cost to change the motherboard...???
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] WunKiet:
It was free because warranty is not yet expired.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] AmirPriNcE1:
So i was about to update my device to july patch but i didn't update it cuz i don't i just dont trust update though OTA but after reading this thread i never will my sensors are fine cuz i guess my device is still on march update......hope to fix this issue

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] AjitBharat:
Suggestions

I would say, Go for the update if you are under warranty.

This is a hardware issue and this just manifested itself during update.

So update the phone , take your chances IF YOU ARE UNDER WARRANTY and claim the repair.

If you are NOT under warranty, take this to SHAMEung service center and ask them to do the update for you.

They may charge you INR 250rs approx but their responsibility is theirs.

Just as a side note

My sisters Galaxy S7 Edge (that we brought together with my s8) also conked off .... now faced with the infamous "Green screen"

Waiting to send both these trashes back to SHAMEsung middle east

Can you please write in detail about your problem and Solution of Galaxy S8 sensor problem,because I have too this problem in my device,I have Indian handset.Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BeToven:
That cannot be true. You receive the updates based on you firmware version and original zone of the firmware, not based on the loction you have the phone in that moment!

Mine just went to samsung to repair (in the same zone I got the phone) and they replaced:

- IC GPS receiver,

- MEA ETC-CS, IF SUB PBA,

- A/S REWORK KIT-T

- SVC PBA-MAIN (COMM)

NOTE. They tried before flashing only the firmware, didn't work, That is why what you say makes no sense.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] coolsongs95:
Hey everyone I'm facing the same problem. All sensors stoped working but they were working before on 7.1.1 and i updated my device to oreo and realized all sensors stoped

Then i got another updated for about 900mb i thought maybe this update will fix them and also that update said tha after updating the user cannot downgrade to nougat but after updating the problem still exsist. Please if anyone can help i also try to flash same oreo firmware with odin but doesn't fixed the sensors
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] pkk_84:
Same issue, No sensor works and Motherboard replacement is the solution

Hello All,

Am facing the same exact problem. Samsung service center is carrying out Motherboard replacement under warranty.

As a warning, they do add a disclaimer that back glass may turn to different color due to the heating process involved while removing the rear glass. Shame on Samsung.

:confused:

Any update regarding the sensor fix?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] IronRoo:
Seems like some components & PCB need to be replaced as damaged after update, at least on the S8. But if it's happening on the S7 & S9 as well this suggests to me some issue with update procedure damaging the component in some way, so a design/update issue. Several threads report Samsung replacing parts.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] IPETRY:
After update, rotation (accelerometer) and other sensors are not working.

After Gear Vr attempt, all sensors came back to life!!!

But stopped again after one week.

Now they are not working, in the sensors test page (using the code) they are not working, gyro and acelerometer, but in the Gear Vr they work... I can play games without problem.

Software problem!!! 100%

Samsung please search the problem in the code for us, im already looking for iphones, but I like the s8+ if it works...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] thezibrail:
It's a pretty big issue. But Samsung is totally silent about it. First I thought it is a sporadic issue. Then I saw a number of threads complaining about it. While, Samsung, the culprit, is busy promoting s9, s10 etc. Someday in near future, they will start ignoring the same for their upcoming flagships. Once a company sees the profit, they can totally ignore the minority complain.

Why the hell I didn't go with the cheap Chinese phones in the first place:rolleyes:

I am wondering if it's possible to have the screen dim to let's say 25% when the headlights are switched on?

Thank you.
[Android Head-Units] ikerg:
Yes..the autodim...is automatic

If you have the illum wire correctly plugged (by canbus or by direct connection from your car to the headunit) you have to enable the option on factory settings ("other" tab) under the option "brightness"

For my head unit that only illuminates the physical buttons of the unit but the screen is still bright.
[Android Head-Units] OhmEye1:
This autodim feature is enabled on my 2018 Mistubishi Outlander Android Auto and pretty much renders the screen and GPS navigation useless during the day with headlights on, and I'm looking for a way to turn it off. It's required in my state to have headlights on during several driving conditions during the day, which dims the screen to the point of being effectively unviewable, especially with navigation apps, which also switch to night-mode display. So I have GPS map displaying black roads on dark black background in a dim screen that is a no-kidding-this-is-honestly-unusable level of ridiculous.
[Android Head-Units] STEvFIN:
Any solution to this ? My 2018 Outlander GT same issue basically unreadable. I'm thinking of replacing it with a better display all together if possible. I can't stand a display on any device that isn't bright enough.

I just rooted my brand new OP5T and ever since I've been experiencing problems. If I download anything through the browser I get errors saying that the download could not continue because it can't find my SD card even though this phone doesn't use cards.
