Hello does anyone have uncalibrated gyro? Phone is in horizontal position but in some games or even in pro camera level option is slightly off position. Any way to calibrate?

This pertains to changing screen orientation.
Anyone else notice that the accelerometer is near unresponsive when the screen is tilted downward? (Like if you are lying down using the gtab) When vertical it is a little better, but when it is tilted with the screen facing up (even just a few degrees, like if sitting and using) the accelerometer changes screen orientation almost instantly.
I wonder if this is due to calibration or physical positioning of the sensor...
If it is calibration, then fixing the in game behavior may fix this as well, but if this is a symptom of physical placement of the sensor, this (and potentially in game) may not be fixable.
I would think that a simple remapping of the axis should fix it, though thegtab has no compass to assist in orientation sensing. The sensor test app I have does not give an option to plot orientation at all, just accel data.
I would think the closer the back or front of the tab gets parrallel to the floor, the less effective the sensor is. That's the way my phone works. If it's parrallel to the floor, the sensor doesn't work.
Hi,
Is there any difference between G-Sensor and Gyro Sensor?
HTC Sensation specifications states both sensors
Sensors
Gyro sensor
G-Sensor
Digital compass
Proximity sensor
Ambient light sensor
There is, but it's kinda subtle.
A G-sensor (accelerometer) can measure the change in acceleration of the device towards a direction. If you move the handset with a constant speed (no acceleration) then it shouldn't pick any signal. However, when moving their hand people change the speed slightly so an accelerometer picks that, but it will look sluggish.
A gyroscope can measure orientation, rotation and speed, so it can complement data collected from the accelerometer to smoothen out the reading of movement a great deal.
It's not the most important thing ever, but it's definitely a plus. Apps that use gyroscopes (mostly games and augmented reality apps) behave way more smoothly with it.
To put it more simply: The G-sensor measures the movement of the device. (By measuring acceleration). The gyro measures the tilt. They can work together to get more precise measurments of both.
Thanks for the explanations Guys...
Hello everyone,
To fix the dialer bug thing, I applied all the suggestions which were mentioned here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17383 like using the proximity sensor app, etc etc....
Now I am getting a good battery backup like 12+ hrs on a full charge (without using wifi/data).
So now the problem is that when I am playing a game say cut the rope, the game goes in potrait mode which is fine, but if by mistake my finger hovers over (or touches) the proximity sensor area, the screen goes off and locks. This is frequently happening
Is anyone facing this issue?? Is there a fix to this??
Hello people,
I'm encountering some problems regarding my gps, it doesn't move as I move, it drifts away and jumps around as far as 1 mile from where I actually am.
It's worthwhile mentioning that my tablet doesn't have an orientation sensor nor a magnetic sensor, is that a problem? I'm trying to play augmented reality games (Ingress to be specific)
I've my location settings set to high accuracy
Any suggestions to overcome this issue?
Device?
I have a problem with the accelerometer now. When I open the camera in Pro mode, rotate the phone horizontal, the balance line indicate wrong. Is there any way I can calibrate the sensor?
For reference, the screenshot in camera app
