AC Question

So recently my S5 has started to act up. The screen rotation does not work on any screen including messages, browser, email etc.. I preformed the *#0*# tests and my gyro, accelerometer, and compass aren't working. I tracked down the day it stopped working by going into S health and checking which day it stopped recording steps. I booted the phone in safe mode and rotation worked, rebooted back into normal mode and deleted some apps and moved some to my SD card then rebooted again, no luck, rebooted in safe mode and now nothing. Preformed a soft reset, nothing. No shock or anything happened to my phone, it seems as if the issue started around the time I received the latest update. I have scoured the interwebs for an answer but no answers that worked. Please help!
 
If it works in safe mode, the issue is some app keeping the sensors from working - since the only difference in safe mode is that the apps you installed that load at boot don't get loaded.
 
Hello!

Now my S5 works when it wants.

At this moment it´s working fine. But, one hour ago the screen was "broken".

Who knows who is the Witch that is living in my S5 .. :D

Samsung doesn't know haha!
 
This is ridiculous. I have the same problem. It seems like so many of us have this same problem with no fix available. It's issues like this that make we want to switch back to the iPhone.
 
Same problem here. I eventually tried a hard reset but that didn't work. I lost everything except pics and music cause I moved to sd card first. I don't recommend it.
