Anyone experienced this? (Im Not on Froyo!)
- Desire refuses to switch to landscape mode in gallery. It does it once in a while but its getting pretty stubborn.
- Google Sky (might be compass related prob) always shows the same part of sky wherever you direct the phone to
I quess my phone accelometer needs calibration or something. Anyone with ideas?
Thanks
never experienced this problem in skymaps. use it a lot.
defo try and see can you reset the magnetic compass. Does it work in a compass app for example? get a simple compass app and try it. If it doesn't work in either app maybe its a hardware fault?
As title.
Since many days my gyroscope is going mad.
If I leave the phone motionless, on a table for example, the gyroscope does not remain stationary, it moves.
I tryed the free app from the market GyroRotate, I leave the phone on the table, and the cube moves by itself. This make games like battlefield unplayable.
I'm experiencing this problem since some days, why?
I have the stock rom. Are you experiencing the same problem?
Can you try the GyroRotate app please and tell me if your cube moves if you leave the phone on the table?
Thanks.
Tested with that App and mine is fine. Have you tried the figure 8 movement to reset the gyro?

Mine also works as expected.
Thanks to all. Now is fine here also.
A battery pull solved the problem.
Neither a reboot solved before the battery pull.
My phone takes 4-5 seconds to switch from landscape and portrait and I am having the same issue with games from time to time. I am still incredibly surprised and annoyed that they did not include a "calibration" option in settings.
Mine still has roughly a 2 second lag when rotating. Today when playing a game that you can rotate to landscape on either side it keeps flipping itself as though I'm holding the phone upside down...argh...so frustrating.
I tried the figure 8 now and if that doesn't help then I did a battery pull
I tried to find the GyroRotate app but it doesn't exist on the android market.
Still having issues.
I have the same problem I wonder if the games are messed up, because the app "gyroscope rotate" works fine.
But Brothers in arms 2 (free app) it's moving to the right by itself.
Can someone else try this game?
Also Asphalt 6 is messed up too.

pull out the battery and start the game when the phone is on the table.

same problem here, tried battery pull with phone turned off and then turned on, but still neither worked. Don't understand what "8 movement" people are talking about. Is any way I can solve this problem ??? I want to use google cardboard on my galaxy s4 but it goes to one side alone slowly -.-
Goggle Cardboard problem
Hi, I have the same problem with realy slowly movement of sreen in Google Cardboard app. I have tested my gyroscope with other app and it is very accurate. Any suggestions how to fix it
Same problem with Samsung Galaxy S3, after shaking the phone the movement changes direction for a while. This problem is really visible in virtual reality apps. What can be done to fix this? Any help is really appreciated!
Same problem here with the galaxy note 3. The cardboard app is impossible to enjoy and also photospheres are moving left by their own. Could it be an hardware problem? Has anyone found a fix?
Here is the solution that worked for my Samsung Galaxy S4:
1. Open Phone app
2. Tap on Kepad tab
3. Type *#0*#
4. Tap on Sensor
5. Put your phone on a flat surface
6. Tap on Gyro selftest button
7. After the PASS message, tap the back button until you exit on the homescreen.
That's it! Hope this helps you guys.
Hello,
When I m redording some videos the result on my computer is not so good.Videos are being rotated when I m holding the phone in landscape position while recording.Any tips?
On the road using my HOX
I don't quiet understand this question and I think i have seen this problem else where. Do you mean when you record videos using your phone in landscape mode, It does not rotate? Please elaborate. Have you tried G-sensor calibration,restart phone and factory reset? Could be software issue.
EDIT: Interesting... This problem appeared in my phone too. Seems like in Jelly Bean update some bug bugging G-sensor. I took a photo and went to 'Gallery' to view it. So when my phone was not in landscape mode, the picture was in landscape, and when in that, it went portrait. I hope this is the same problem as yours. I will keep up to date when i find solution.
I'm not sure if anyone has experienced this problem, but ever since going from 4.1.2 rom to what was the 4.3 beanstalk rom at the time my camera is always extremely dark. The weird thing about it is, after playing around with settings and what not(I didnt have to do this before) if you put the camera in "action mode" it brightens right up(for a short period of time before going back) without changing any other setting. If you change back to "auto" it goes right back to being overly dark. Don't get me wrong, the camera works, but with the pictures being so dark they are hardly good quality.
Troubleshooting wise, I wiped the whole phone, sd card and everything, flashed back to stock through odin. The original 4.1.1 camera seemed to look much better. Went back to flashing 4.3 and 4.4 roms with the new camera and bam, same problem. Has anyone ever experienced this issue or have a fix for it? I have looked all over the internet and can't find someone with a fix. I don't want to stay on 4.1.1 stock, but is there a way to use that camera? Cameras on the play store have the same dark effect.
Just got the 16GB 8.4 tablet and I really like it... BUT...
The accelerometer is off about 7degrees (checked bubble level app) on the horizontal.
Sure, it's a minor problem. It only shows up when using google sky or playing a game. But, it should be easy to fix and the fact that I cannot find a way to fix it is damned annoying!
So, does anybody know of a way to calibrate the accelerometer and KEEP the claibration accross all apps?
The bubble level app does have a calibration mode but it only works within the app.
