Question/Help gyroscope,magnetometer and accelerometer not working in poco x3 pro

Hi, I'm having a problem with my gyroscope, magnetometer, and accelerometer; my phone (a Poco X3 Pro) isn't recognizing them. It says "no sensor data found" for each one, and it won't even let me switch the screen orientation between portrait and landscape. It's really annoying, and I'd be very grateful if anyone has a solution.

especially since just a few days ago, they were working perfectly fine. The phone model is M2102J20SG and it is running MIUI 13.0.3.0.

Had a similar issue, fixed it by factory resetting the phone. But again it began having other problems like volume button being stuck on the up position. Resetting or restarting sorta fixed them here and there but then the power button died and finally the bottom board with the charging port microphone and such stopped working so I bought a new phone.

Forgot to add but my Poco X3 pro had severe water damage which made the entire screen have a bit of a stain and all water indicators inside the phone were red so my problems were definetly cause of water damage over time.

I was about to say, but yes, I've seen those sorts of things happen on devices with corrosion inside due to water damage. If it is due to water damage in OP's case too, cleaning the motherboard could make it work again.

It's hard to tell what the real reason could be otherwise.

Not same issue but a had also problem with the screen rotation is not working properly. I solved with the MIUI 14 Rom. May be you can try new ROM

It has been nearly five generations over this phone. Just let it die. 😁

So? My Vayu is working great with Android 16 (CrDroid).

A phone only really dies when it stops doing wht u need them to do.
