Accelerometer stops working

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

I have uninstalled whats new updates but i had the problem after reboot again.

Now i have disabled 5 apps and my screen rotation and auto brightness is working for 2 hours now.

Earlier the problem started in a half an hour or so.

I have not updated the whats new app yet.

My list of disabled apps:

Amazon shopping

Lounge 

Movie creator

Playstation app

Spotify

I will keep testing and will enable one by one.

I will let you know guys if i have any progress.

Auto rotation stopped again, but whats new had restarted itself. So possibly still linked. How do I fully remove it?

AVG is definitely not the one as i have disabled it at the first start when i bought the phone.

I have checked the list from Vikont and Webwude and compared to my list.

So at the moment i have only 2 potential app disabled (and avg but as i mentioned thats not the one)

Playstation app

Spotify 

I just have enabled movie creator and testing.

All the apps are updated except the whats anew app. That is the factory version.

Rotation and auto brightness still working.

My auto rotation has also stopped working. Only by restarting the device gets it going for about 15mins and it has only been since the latest android update. Please help as it is quite irritating

One solution seems to work so far after three days's trial.

You should remember your google account and password before going.

(1) go to Settings - Apps - Google Apps, press Disable, this will unstall Google Apps from your phone, and no need to install factory version.

(2) go to Settings - Account & sync, press Google and click right-top corner to open menu, press Remove account.

(3) Restart your phone.

(4) Enter Google play store, you will be requested to login your Google account. Do it.

(5) Search Google Apps in Google play and install up-to-date version of this App, then open/enable Google Apps. Done.

Still no problem for me since yesterday evening. Approx 15 hours and rotation and auto brightness are still ok.

I have enabled the Spotify now ane keep testing.

I have just 1 app disabled now

 Playstation app.

I've had my Playstation app disabled since I got the phone and my Xperia is still giving me this condition so that's not it.

All apps are updated except whats new and my screen is still rotating.
