Nexus 5x sensors unavailable - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys!
I recently purchased a 5x off of ebay for $200 and have been largely happy with it. Unfortunately, I've been noticing little annoyances, like not turning off the screen when I put my phone to my face. Not noticing when I pick up the phone, and not noticing when I try to rotate the screen into landscape mode.
I found some other users talking about re calibrating their accelerometers, but I think my issue may be a bit broader.
Testing with apps seems unresponsive on many levels. Using "sensor readout" app all sensors seem to have the same fate shown below. "Waiting for sensor to become available"

I don't know what that means
Edit: Newest n2g47w vendor image installed Still no sensors available

This vendor fits to Android 7.1.2 revision 12 and higher.

Still not working
Well, I just performed a "flash-all" with Google's most recent bullhead release
bullhead-n2g47w-factory-e4179e51
I am still getting "possible malfunction" in the app GPS status and toolbox.

I fixed it! I had installed the
H791-32GB-MDA89E TOT file, and repaired the sensors

Fine

[Q] All sensors Turned OFF, Help required

For some strange reason, on my HTC One X (Endeavoru) I have got all my sensors turned off. My phone is rooted, installed with Cyanogenmod 11 Nightly (latest Nightly Bulid).
The last thing I can suspect as culprit is an application I installed "Battery Benchmark", I made it to stop and latter uninstalled; since then no sensor is working.

Any manual way to turn my sensors ON, or atleast can know their health status checked?
Use a freshly installed ROM first with a full wipe first then check your sensors with an all from play store , if they still off then you mostly being affected with damaged ones ,

Thanks for your response.
I will consider it as last resort. But for now, need some solution without loosing data.
Have read somewhere that some set of linux commands may turn sensors on or off VIA terminal service. "Can anyone help on that??"
I can't help you that since I didn't came across such a thing .beside im using linux all the time here

Same here, really annoying.
Hi there , it already corrected by itself. Seems snapchat is running analysis to the devices.
Hope all this will be corrected by new android.

Question [SOLVED] Very strange ongoing camera issue

Hi, I have spent the last few weeks searching XDA, OnePlus and various other forums for an answer to this issue but have come up with no working fix.
The camera on my OP9P works absolutely fine sometimes, but other times it will show the feed for about 1 second and then freeze, completely unusable as the OP Cam app will also become unresponsive. Other times it will work, but the wide-angle 0.6x lens will not be accessible, the button for it will just not be there. Other times it will work 'fine' but the 1x lens will have a very strange overlay on it (photo attached).
I have tried every cam app on the first 10 pages of the Play store and even installed older versions of the OP Cam app and I eventually get the same issue. It happens in every app I use: WhatsApp, Instagram etc.
I have installed various ROMS also and still had the same issue.
Has anyone heard of this issue before, or know what it could be? My gut says it is hardware related but if I restart the phone, it usually works fine with no physical changes to the device.
Device was purchased around September 2022 and is in great physical condition, currently running OxygenOS 13.0 (LE2123_11_F.75).
Any help will be much appreciated.

Hardware issue

Is that 100% sure? I thought it could be hardware but a simple reboot usually fixes the issues for a little while.
I've reached out to the supplier who is going to repair it. Frustrating but quick response times so we'll see what happens.
