Accelerometer stops working

[Mikvandorp]

The accelerometer of my x performance stops after some days so auto-rotate and other stuff does not work anymore until I reboot...

Webwude. That turning off one feature to make another feature function correctly is not a fix. It's not even a work around.

Does not work unfortunately

@webwude:  seems I missed seeing this option (location history - Off).  I deactivated location history and so rotation is still working 'till woke up this morning.  Hopefully this works for me until the update.  Hoo-hah!

The same problem on XP Dual with latest firmware 35.A.1.275.
Reboot helps but not all the time. Or Russian forums guys stated that the latest firmware should have resolve the issue. But not with my XP.
Any ideas how to fix?

@creepwood I will not discuss with you what is a fix or a workaround. We can stop this here. For most users this method works. It will be fixed with nougat as well. So calm down and wait for the release.

Auto-rotate doesn't work, when I reboot phone auto-rotate work for a few minutes. Sony Xperia X Performance

+1, the latest firmware doesn't fix the problem.

Ooops. My apologise for duplicate. I thought that it would be replay to a message.
I have stopped android web view process several hours ago and accelerometer still working.

Webwude, you are a genius and completely right. Turning off Google location history and rebooting x performance gets accelerometer working again and stays working. This shall work for everyone. 

This is how I will leave it until update for fix or nougat update, whichever comes 1st, but at least screen rotate works now. Yippee
