Accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity Not Working

Device- Xperia Z1

I am on stock .157 (kitkat) unrooted. I have no issues on the phone, but after maybe 2-3 days of usage, sensors wouldn't work (accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity). the screen wont turn off during calls , auto rotation wont work. Also in service tests, (*#*#service#*#*) all the values would be blank.A restart will always fix these. Is this a software issue?How do i fix this.I don't wan't to update to new lollipop.

Yeah me too sensor of z3 is hard to fix
Accelometer in the service test the ball not moving and x,y,z not calculating

I had the exact same problem, Sony were useless and just kept suggesting I do a software repair. I factory defaulted twice and still no joy. I then decided to open the phone up and disconnec the battery, id also been suffering high battery drain issues too.
After leaving for an hour and then putting everything back the sensors are all working as expected, it's now been over a week without issues. Hope this helps.
