Hey,
After i hadn't picked up my vr glasses for a while i wanted to try it again. So i started some apps, but they all failed to use the gyroscope correctly... when i turn my head the screen turns really slow, and it doesn't move to the left and right, and there is some ghosting.
I have a HTC One M8, running LineageOS 14.1-20170720.
I already installed some test apps but they all seem to show correct data from the gyro. I also used some apps to callibreate the gyro, wich also didnt work.
I really hope you guys can help me.
Gyroscope is not working on nougat and up. You either need to stay on stock or get a new phone

I dropped my G2 a while back and the screen cracked but still worked fine. I just got the digitizer replaced today, which I ordered on eBay and had installed locally. Everything works except for the auto-rotate function. Here is what I've tried:
Settings-->display-->auto-rotate screen is checked
I did a factory reset of the phone
The phone rotates to landscape mode ONLY when I use the keyboard
Any ideas?
Just throwing this out there but try going into Cyanogenmod settings>user interface> than scroll towards the buttoma nd see if 90 and 270 is checked. Might help and maybe try a game that uses the accelerometer to test if yours is broken? Not a expert on this kind of thing but just my advice to see if you track the source of the problem. And i am only assuming that you haev cyanogen
Thanks for the info, not rooted right now though.
Just went into Google Sky Maps and it doesnt rotate at all. Is there anywhere in settings to calibrate the accelerometer? Wondering if it's a problem with the new digitizer I got...
I've had a similar prob with 2 NIB G2's. It showed up after the OTA, Pre OTS, everything was fine, after, landscape only works with certain apps and games. I just live with it for now.
i'm bumping this. i am not rooted (yet) and have this same issue. wondering whether to do a factory reset or no...?
I purchased the Desire Z/G2 3 days ago now and I believe that the auto-rotate feature was first working on the home-screen. Now after 3 days it doesn't auto-rotate on the home-screen, but is fine with all other apps.
Is this a common problem as I feel to return the handset. I've already performed a hard reset but to no avail
Has anyone fixed this?

Desire Z or G2? The software is different, so you need to tell us which one you have.
If its the Desire Z, the Sense home screen does not auto-rotate (by design), and you are remembering it wrong (but it will rotate when you open the keyboard). Don't know about the G2, since I own the DZ.
Thanks Redpoint. I own the Desire Z, I managed to install an ADW theme and the auto-rotate feature seemed to work. So you are correct...wow my memory is alluding me.
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.
Im Having trouble with my g sensor: in games its constantly turning left even though i calibrated it serval times already! in teeter its works fine so is the rotation. but in all games (gangster, gta, asphalt) its just dont work properly!
any help?
also im not sure if my phone is defected i contacted the store and he told me to come and he will take a look (already replaced 1)
if you click on the sides it makes clicking sound. also if you press on the sides the screen will "flick". is that normal?
btw: its HT23Z, what does it means? if its a bad version i can get a new one from the store.

mine did this but only in gta, i dont have the others but i assume its the game. gta is the only game to do it for me.
any fix? what about the screen "clicks" and flex
My z1c has an accelerometer that is broken. This means auto rotation doesn't work for example. Sometimes i can get it working by calibration and/or restart, but after a while the sensor will be off again. I'm testing with the app "android sensor". At the moment the sensor is stuck as if I'm holding my phone horizontally.
I'm running latest software, 14.3.A.0.757
Since i bought it while travelling in Thailand (not the smartest, but my old phone broke, so what to do..), I'm trying to see if anyone here has experience with this, before contacting Sony.
As far as my searches go, i have not been able to locate this as a known problem.
My accelerometer works perfect i have my phone since sunday. Maybe you should perform.a factory reset if that doesnt help its defenetly hardware issue.

I got the same problem. Bought it about 9 months ago in Uk. Since few months im on .108. I don't think that firmware is a problem coz it starts about 2 weeks ago. Accelelometer stop working every now and then. Reboot helps but not for long. Gonna contact o2 as still have warranty.
guys i have the same problem with my z1
seems like some software problem ..
because if the hardware is broken it would not start working after restarting
did any of you , opened your phone for replacing or something?
I had this problem too. All sensors would stop responding and give no readings in the service tests. A reboot would fix it for a couple days but the issue would always return. At the time I was running a 108 rom that I had downloaded from this forum, Russian I believe. Recently PC companion told me I had an update but the version was also 108. I did the update without wiping data and I haven't had the problem with the sensors for about 3 weeks.
Still not sure what caused it, it didn't start with my first loading of 108, but some time after that. My best guess is that some app hosed something up and a software update fixed it. Hope it doesn't come back.

Same here. I believe that the problem started when I changed my screensaver to one of the animated backgrounds with planets on it. On a first run it would work and rotate the planet render in the background when I tilted the phone. The next day it stopped working. I mean, the screensaver was on, but it would no detect orientation from the gryroscope. The screen also stopped autorotating when playing YouTube videos from the app, the compass app wasn't working and so on. I installed a few small sensor monitoring applications and all of the gave me no readings for the accelerometer or gyroscope sensors. Some other sensors were disabled, such as proximity, illumination level detect and so on. I was afraid that the accelerometer could be broken from humidity, pressure or a small drop that happened, but these small incidents could not explain the problem by their own (specially since the Z1c is thoroughly tested against all of these). I thought of maybe a faulty motherboard construction or whatever and starting considering the possibility of taking it back to the store for the guarantee, but before that I googled and came along this site and a couple others.
I fiddled a bit with Android menu config. settings but to no avail. I completely discarded the factory reset advice (that's SO crazy!).
When I rebooted the phone (no reset, just a regular off and on again process) all sensor readings were back on. I still didn't have the chance to check whether the problem might come back in a few days or not.
The cause may or may not be on the planets screensaver app. I also used Google Earth, YouTube and a few other apps the day sensors stopped working, but none of these gave problems in the past.
Fingers crossed for this issue not reappearing.
Hello everybody on my Z1 accelerometer compass gyroscope and light sensor does not work! any help please?
Yesterday I've had the same trouble, screen orientation stopped working. Apps using the acceleration sensor stopped working (Google Sky i.e.)
First I did a factory reset without any change, still no function. As I still have warranty, I wanted to prepare the phone to send it to Sony for repair. So I switched the phone off, removed SIM and SD (what I haven't done before) and switched it on again. Then I did a factory reset once again and here we go the sensor went back to work.
Probably the factory reset is "deeper" if there's no SIM and SD card in the phone? Who knows.
friends my moto z play when I install rom oreo it works normal, but when installed rom pie works well, but when I turn off the screen it does not return and heats quickly behind the screen on the board.
I would like to know if someone has gone through this and if there is a solution. I'm back at the moment.
