as far as I know that games uses accelerometer non gyro.
Try this

I use sensor track.

I would like something graphical that shows me the movement of the gyro instead of the "raw" numbers.

hmmm, my gyroscope moves when the phone is sitting on the desk.

The cube rotates only a few with my phone, I'm not able to rotate it completely.
is this normal?
Sensor track shows a live graph with three lines for the three dimensions.
What is the usefulness of gyroscope?

am i high or is this phone not quite bright enough to determine photograph orientation when uploaded to an app? if i take a shot in portrait mode, it'll upload to facebook, twitter, etc. in landscape. as far as i can tell (at least in twitter) there is no way to rotate that. any one else had this issue? are we forced to always shoot in landscape?
Rotate your phone 180 degrees when taking pic

180 degrees is just upside down resulting in the same issue. i can 'rotate' the phone 90 degres and that puts it in "landscape" and it'll work fine. that said it seems ridiculous that i can't take a shot in portrait mode and it'll just work. pretty big miss by samsung.

Thanks. I meant 90 degrees. My brain not working good in the morning. LOL!
Yeah its a miss by Samsung. Later when we get new ROMs (you will need to be rooted), Im sure there will be a camera app ported from another device (maybe HTC Amaze) that addresses this issue.

Hey,
can anyone tell me how to calibrate the G-Sensor in the Gaaxy Nexus Prime? In games and apps using this sensor it seems that the y-axis is about 5 degrees leftside when i hold the smartphone straight up. This means for example that the figure in doodle jump moves slowly left, although the Nexus is holded erect...
Googled for an solution by myself, but nothing helped so far. Even apps like BubbleLevel, which have the calibration tool, calibrate the sensor just for this app... and not in general.
Thanks
Try calibrating with this app and see if it helps.

Ignore everyone telling you to use an app to do it, because you can't. Android has no concept of global calibration regarding the sensors.
I have 3 Android phones, they all have wrong default calibration, from a few degrees (Galaxy Nexus) to about 30 degrees (Xperia X10 Mini Pro.. unusable).
You used to be able to calibrate in gingerbread by modding axis offset values in the AK8973Prms.txt file in data/misc. ICS doesn't seen to have that file, at least not in the same place.
HTC Desire, Desire HD have its calibration app.

He asked for help and I tried to help him with what work for me in the past. No need to tell him to ignore people. It's a simple process that involves rotating the phone on 3 of its axis. If it helps, then great. But it certainly wouldn't hurt for him to try, would it? No need to be condescending; it's not like I'm trying cause him harm.

I think that method works well for compass calibration for apps like maps and sky, but it is temporary and doesn't seem to affect pitch and roll. GPS status let's you calibrate pitch and roll but only within the app, it doesn't affect system calibration. The file i mentioned above did allow manual system calibration under gingerbread. Not sure how to accomplish under ics. A post i saw suggested that gnex and ics automatically calibrate if you leave the unit to sit alone for a bit. I don't buy it, but that's the only info i have found.
In case anyone is interested in how it was done under gingerbread, see my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16592139

It's not Gingerbread, it's for that specific sensor with that specific driver. The Galaxy Nexus uses a Bosch BMA250 which has an NV memory where calibration settings can be stored but doing so is not trivial.

Hi, i'm having this screen turn off while calling n doesn't on constantly even if I try to turn on using power switch.. n for some days it worked like screen turns off when I keep close to ear n turns on automatically when moved away, I can understand due to proximity sensor. But y now it isn't working? Is thr any settings?
Cool....)
Do you have a case or screen protector blocking the sensor? If not, the sensor might be broken.

Try cleaning the little prox sensor too !
Where's tht little sensor located?

Ok i found out that my proximity sensor is working but it needs a lot of light to see me i was wondering if there is a way to calibrate it manually because non of the apps in the playstore work can somebody help please:fingers-crossed:

Thank you but i tried it and i need a special kernel
I recently had an issue regarding the proximity sensor on my DHD and I tried many different ROMs and calibration apps but none of them worked. Seems like the problem is the dirt that blocks the way of the sensor. I cleaned the grill from the dirt and everything is now OK. Hope I helped someone.

Hi have you tested the proximity calibrator app?
Setup of proximity sensor isnt the main goal of roms...
Look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951858
Set values, test it if the sensor shows "near" or "far" or adjust it more.
My DHD needs LOW = 2; HIGH = 3; and it works...
oh , and in Cyanogenmod 11 by mustaavalkosta, its already installed i think.

Yep spot on. CM11 comes with it.
Low 3 and High 5 works best for me.

I think you missed the point. The entire idea of his post was to let you know that his issue was dirt in front of the sensor.

That's what I had to do in the end as well. Remember that these phones first came out in Oct. 2010 (when I got mine ....!!) so plenty of time for dirt to build up. Check the Proximity Sensor thread for links on disassembly but I followed this site ... http://www.beardeddonkey.com/home/comments.php?y=12&m=04&entry=entry120428-040327 ... to take mine apart. Not all of it, just far enough to clean out the PS. All good after that.
thanks for the tip
i need clean my sensor
thanks man !! been modifying thresholds using Proximity Recalibrator forever with no avail ... i don't know how i forgot about cleaning the sensors :silly: :silly: you made my day !! thank you a bunch !!!!
That easy..?

The compass works on my phone fine. Please if someone can at least install the app to check operation. Thanks a bunch.
Compass
All these views and not one piece of advice? Really? 34 people up to this point.......35 for who is reading this now......
And no one cares about a non functioning compass? Ahhhh
The Huawei Watch doesn't have a compass, so it won't work.
