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.

pull battery didn't help..
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.
Can anyone who has played this game quickly test how long it takes to reload the level when you tap the reset button in the top right?
Cos it takes me a good 3-4 seconds before the level loads.
Initially on the iOS version that I've tried it instantly reloads the level and I just assumed it was just bad coding on the developer's behalf for android.
But I recently tried out the Meizu MX phone here in HK and I tested that phone too, and it instantly reloaded.
So basically my question is something wrong with my phone or is there some compatibility issue with ICS etc?
Also as a side note, my galaxy tab 10.1 reloads rather slow as well.
Ya its the same here. You mean when you hit refresh/redo it sits at black screen with "loading..." for 3sec or so? That's what I get. but the game is smooth and not sketchy.
Man thats a bit of a shame.
Not sure why on the Meizu MX running 2.3.5 its pretty much instant though.
Probably an ICS compatibility issue maybe?

I'd assume so.
[Q] Flickering Problem when running my game
Hello all,
Recently i am developing a game. While testing on my galaxy S3 i noticed that sometimes the home screens and app pages flicker when sliding through pages and even swiping the notification bar down.
The funny thing, it doesnt happen every time i play the game, but it happens some times. To get rid of the problem i have to open my game again or any other app and then exit out of it and the flickering will stop.
Ive tried and tested just about ALL of my code. There doesnt seem to be any major issues or memory problems. I am also cleaning up properly when exiting my game, and destroying objects and even stoping my game engine.
At this point i am beginning to think it is a bug in the Android OS or something. My device is running Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean. Ive had many others beta test the game on some cheaper and lower end devices and they dont have the problem. And of course not on tablets.
What do you guys think? Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Hi Everyone,
I recently purchased a 2014 Note 10.1, primarily for gaming. It's still bone stock, updated to the latest US firmware (MK1). I am experiencing an issue with the touchscreen. In games such as Asphalt 7, Riptide & Mini Motor, if I set them for manual acceleration with an on-screen pedal, the pedal works intermittently. For instance, if I start a new game in any of the above titles, the pedal works for maybe the first 10 seconds and even with finger still on it, the on-screen pedal just deactivates at some random point. If you go to press the on-screen pedal again, it may or may not engage immediately - and if it does, it will disengage again at some point. It will do this throughout the game making them impossible to play well. At first I thought it was a problem with Asphalt 7, but the same exact thing happens in Riptide and Mini Motor. So now I'm wondering if my brand new Note has a touchscreen issue or if this is problem that other people can reproduce.
Could anyone please let me know if this exact same behavior happens to you? I really don't want to have to return this tablet if its just a driver issue.
Please let me know, thanks.
Sometimes my screen freezes for a second or two, which in general sucks but not a big deal, the problem is bigger with games though. With most of them it freeze for a little bit and some of them quite often. In this video (
), maybe you can see it in minutes 00:20 and 4:27. The question is, does this happens to you too? Or is my Device faulty?
If it only happens while playing games that load ads in the background, I suspect network bottleneck freezing the foreground game. Try playing offline or setting system DNS to Adguard DNS
Thanks. I'll give it a shot, but it also happens on other games while no visible ads are on screen.

I can confirm this happens to me too. It's very random and rare. But it happens. It's not just games, I'll be scrolling left and right in my launcher and it'll do it on rare occasions. I don't think it's a faulty unit. I think everyone's six Pro does this. I'm pretty darn sure because I have a second Pixel 6 Pro that does the same thing.
