Yes, if you want to check this, you can download this app which allows you to see the sensors inputs from your phone and as i remember it didn't really ask permissions. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wered.sensorsmultitool
Not trying to be insensitive but depending how much beef he's packing then I'd strap a phone to his arm and run a sensors app.

Google used to have an app... They may still have something and I believe it was called journals...idk
If you want to use it just for the steps, save yourself the money and just use Google Fit, your phone probably already has a step sensor, you can check it with this app
Pixel 2 XL?
Because this is a bug I had a while back. The proximity sensor would just stop working randomly. A reboot will fix it but it might come back again after a while. Fortunately I didn't have any issues with it in the last month or so.
You might wanna check if your proximity sensor is working with the app Sensors Multitool. It should jump between 5 cm and 0 cm when you cover the earpiece (the sensor is right below it).
I have an android and installed the Sensors Multitool, it lets you view all the sensors and the information they gather.
Magnetic field strength, atmospheric pressure, altitude, linear acceleration, wifi signal strength, accelerometer, light meter, etc.
I work in a hospital and was passing the MRI area and turned on the magnetic field sensor, it flatlined when I got into the operators booth.
I had the exact same issue on my recently purchased 2XL (no screen protector). I've just assumed it was a hardware failure since the proximity sensor is stuck at 0.0cm. You can use the SensorMultitool app to check yours. Mine never goes above 0 so I RMA'd my device and awaiting a new one.
I used Sensors Multitool to test. When my phone is completely still (set down on my desk), the readings for gyro and accelerometer fluctuate no more than a decimal point or two, and the graphs are flatlined. That's as good as it gets.
Everyone, I think I found a fix! My proximity sensor used to be on almost always. I kid you not, this thing was flickering perhaps a total of 5-6 hours daily. Out of the ten times I took the phone in my hands, in 8 of them it was flickering. Only fix was to restart the phone, but that only worked for a few minutes.
Now, I tried something else which up to now seems to have fixed this issue. I downloaded an app called Sensors Multitool by Wered Software. I randomly selected this one (I later saw it hasn't been updated since 2018 lol), but I guess any sensor testing app will do the trick. I then proceeded to "test" the proximity sensor, by selecting it from the list. It identified when my hand was in front of the screen, reading 0cm, and 5cm when I removed it. I then closed the app.
I did this five hours ago. Since then the sensor hasn't appeared at all. It works in calls, just hasn't started flickering all the time. I'll report back if I see it happening again, but I guess (and hope) the "testing" process somehow reset it and it started working as intended again.
Hope this helps.
Hast du den Sensor einfach Mal beobachtet, zB mit Sensors Multitool. Das würde dir dann sagen, was der Sensor sieht.
Wenn er dauerhaft etwas nah dran sieht, was da nicht ist, würde ich auf Hardwaredefekt (oder Firmware, läuft aber aufs gleiche raus) tippen.
Mit einer custom ROM könnte man vielleicht den Sensor komplett deaktivieren. Zumindest fürs Telefonieren könnte das auch in den Vanilla Telefoneinstellungen gehen (sagt zumindest Google. Bei meinem Samsung konnte ich das nicht finden)
There's apps that take advantage of it without you even knowing. Your weather app might be using it to crowdsource barometric data. A hiking guide app might use it for altitude measurements. It can also be used as a supplement to your GPS to fine tune location.
Or check out a sensors app to see the readings in action https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wered.sensorsmultitool
Dimming is due to letting less light pass through the light sensor and not the proximity one,I would suggest that you use a sensor checking app like Sensors Multitool and check if the proximity sensor is responding, if Yes, then it's just a software issue and a reset should fix it, if it's a no however, it could be a hardware issue and a reset is always an option that can work.
Test accelerometer and gyro with any app. Gyro graph should display positive and negative bumps depending on clock or anti-clockwise rotation while acceleration graph should twist two lines as you rotate the phone.
1.If you have time with it before buying, I'd recommend using an app like this to verify all the sensors work correctly: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wered.sensorsmultitool
I don't have any issues with the latest software (P6P though). It's not faulty by nature, on the latest software. I'm saying latest software because at launch both of the P6 phones were garbage in comparison. Luckily you missed all that!
Not much to be honest. It's been smooth sailing. I have the P6P and use the telephoto way more often than I thought I would. My brother has the P6 and he regrets not getting the Pro for that reason -- the telephoto lens is actually really crispy and nice.
This is the app. I put LED strips in a dark room and then record the brightness of the app to adjust colour balance hex values. It's not fast, but it makes it kind of brainless.
A flux pen is a good idea! I feel like my solder tips lose useful contact area way faster than I'd like. Tweezers are super useful. Mine are getting all torn up and it would probably be a good idea to get a few types before they end up totally warped :)
You don't have any magnetic rings or anything, do you? Also, Sensors Multitool is a great app for ensuring all your sensors are working.
Sounds like the proximity sensor isn't functioning properly... the phone doesn't "ignore" the inputs, it turns the screen off when it detects it's up to your face or in your pocket by seeing if there is an object in close proximity to the top of the phone... you could try booting into safe mode and see if it works:
- Press and hold the Power button
- When the menu with "Power Off" appears, press and hold "Power Off"
- You will get a popup asking if you want to reboot into Safe Mode, select yes
​
If that doesn't fix it or it doesn't work in safe mode, you can download an app to test to see if the sensor is even working: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wered.sensorsmultitool
Sounds like your proximity sensor is busted. Download this sensors app,<link here> , and see how your phone reacts.
I would try a hard power cycle followed by a backup and factory reset if the issue doesn't resolve itself after a power cycle.
Pour ceux qui ont un smartphone Android, il y a une application sympa pour voir les infos des capteurs en temps réel (données et courbes d'historique). Tu peux y voir les variations d'accélération sur les 3 axes entre autres.

I installed this app. I can rotate my phone 360 degree without enabling AutoRotate feature. I had thought my phone's accelerometer feature is broken, but not.
My dude, I don't think there's an actual altimeter in the phone. It uses gps data coupled with (I think) the barometer. But, it seems like your ls is really off. Check the sensor multi tool suite, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wered.sensorsmultitool&hl=en to see if everything is reading correctly. I honestly have no idea how to recalibrate it. I don't have my 6p anymore but my 7 plus says I'm at 880 ft, when I'm actually at 869 ft above sea level.
I used this app before to determine issues with my sensors. I'm pretty sure it was from Pokemon Go, as other users have reported too.
There's an app called sensor multitool you could try.

Cool. Crazy how many sensors they squeeze into phones. I ended up reinstalling sensors multitool app to check it out.
Check all the sensor and battery health with this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wered.sensorsmultitool
Sensors Multitool should be enough to test every sensor.
Try this - i helps you access all sensor data from your Smartphone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wered.sensorsmultitool
You might have to make a list based on the individual experiments you wish to do. You won't need to get everything that an experiment calls for - sometimes you can find a workaround for certain items. Some of the most common items for physics experiments are gonna be:
a digital scale accurate to at least 0.1 gram
a set of masses (weights) labeled (such as 5 g, 10 g, 15 g, etc). Sometimes these weights can be more useful for a specific experiment if they are able to stack or combine with each other. If you don't want to buy something like this, you can always just use your scale to make any everyday object into a mass for your experiment.
a tape measure (preferably in metric units)
tape and string
a thermometer (in degrees Celsius)
a computer
some kind of data sheet program like excel (expensive but powerful) or google sheets (free but limited) where you can organize your data, use formulas, and make graphs
a cheap microphone that can plug directly into your computer
a sound editing program (like Audacity, which is free)
some kind of physics sensor app on a mobile phone, if you have one, could be very useful (for android: this app, and this app)
There's probably some other items you could get that would be useful to several of the experiments you might do, but this is just off the top of my head.
There are all sorts of workarounds you can figure out if an experiment calls for an expensive piece of equipment, like a motion sensor. For instance, if you are doing an experiment involving determining the speed of a pendulum using a motion sensor, you can instead count the number of cycles the pendulum makes in a certain amount of time and use those values to find its speed, frequency, period, etc. Its not quite as accurate, but it should be close enough to allow you to do the experiment still.
As for books, I'd get a physics textbook, either from your local bookstore, or maybe a student who just finished a class is selling one cheap online. Or, if you're savvy with bootleg software, you can usually find textbook pdf's online. I used the textbook Physics for Scientists and Engineers by Randall Knight and it seems really comprehensive, but is way too expensive. You might be able to find an older version of it for cheap, though. There's also Khan Academy which can be very useful if you like the format.
Have you tried a sensors app to check to see if the sensor is working or even available? I use this one, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wered.sensorsmultitool&hl=en

How big is the ball. Could cram a small, old smart phone in it?
You can use this app to measure magnetism https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wered.sensorsmultitool Away from case:
Near case:
I'm guessing when the magnet touches the screen it triggers the phone to turn off because the magnetic values get so high.
Every Galaxy phone I have owned has had a thermometry. I access them via the sensors app.

I tried that app and your right, nothing. But then this app shows it working perfect, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wered.sensorsmultitool
Strange
Try this app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wered.sensorsmultitool I use this for sensor information.
This one looks okay: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wered.sensorsmultitool
Get this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wered.sensorsmultitool
My battery is at 32°C, I've been inside for a while and phone feels normal.
Install Sensors Multitool and see if you have a bad sensor.
Download an app on the Play store. Give this one a go.
Shakes here as well. Using a sensor app shows accelerometer numbers bounce
