[Q] Does the Verizon ICS update enable the gyroscope/barometer? - Motorola Droid RAZR

The Engadget teardown of the Droid RAZR says it has an STMicroelectronics L3G4200D gyroscope and a Bosch Sensortec BMP180 barometer, yet the Gingerbread build it shipped with didn't seem to activate either. Has anyone with any of the leaked or soak test ICS updates seen them enabled yet?

this is AWSOME! there are some nice apps on market... oh yea, "play" (rolleyes) that need barometer to function. i have been dreaming this would be on my next phone, how nice it would be if we could get this activated. fm radio too...

bump. has anyone investigated? i'm GSM so all i can do now is ask...

they dont appear to be working in androidsensor

ah i just found androsensor myself in market/play. it's naturally not working in 2.3.6

apparently as OP stated there is also support for FM and I read in the bypass kexec thread that the hardware is there...now we only need someone to activate it
here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24851034&postcount=313
maybe then someone could enable the gyroscope

there is barograph app too, try that one?

barograph doesnt work in ICS either, says that my device doesnt support barometer. I don't think these chips are in here, fM included. i know that one or two sites say it is, but many more say its not.

I just checked elixir app and those sensors are disabled in ICS too.

Put an ice cream sandwich on it and see if it runs faster!!!
Can we get an "Asshat" section setup to this forum and move some of these threads there?
Have you tried stripping one end of a extension cord and wiring it up to your device, see if you can get some more juice to it and overlock!! Also you may also consider adding a hamster + wheel for extra umph.
I know huh...I had to reply with that comment, couldn't help myself....we should have a TFP BS Thread section......would be at least a place for many laughs.

No this one is latest model it has 128 geebees. No GPS though
yes but does it come in purple? I mean metallic grey?
If you take 20+ steps away, is the text still readable?
does it have a search option? if not maybe you need more geebees xD
is it faster than the overclocked HP touchpad a fellow member put a video up comparing Prime to? we all know how fast that thing is
Hey, and its already rooted! You can access all the files!
I needed this thread, I really did.

Really wish the Mods would start deleting these pointless threads.
Come on everyone lighten up a little. Be happy! Enjoy the comedy don't take life so seriously.
BTW: I have root access right out of the box and no encrypted bootloader. The nice thing about it is I can change the Rolodex cards to any style and color I want and I still get my warranty
I agree, among all this turmoil we can use some clowning.
*coughs* so.. Handwriting recognition is great, too!
The best part is that you don't have to buy a stylus! It also works with a BIC Pen! Now that's what i called backward compatibility.

Installed the new unofficial release of ANDROID ICS for the AMAZE...

Hi,
2 days ago I installed the new unofficial release mod that brought my AMAZE 4g to the ICS world... I discovered that the camera does not support PANORAMA mode.. anyone else missing that feature??
Any other bugs anyone else found? Otherwise so far so good, it's been running well and fast..
Panorma mode is sweepshot, it doesn't actually say panorama.
Edit: My apologies, i misread that, i haven't actually tried the ics leak so i wouldn't know what features they removed

you're right, and the feature is still in the new leak. well i have the "old new leak" since a new one was release today
works fine on my amaze but the thing is with new ics release my phone reboot alot by itself. sometime it gets stuck in to a reboot loop and then i have to do a battery pull. beside that everything is fine.

just posted about this. Do you have the link to the info page?
So this means we can run 211 and still receive the OTA if there are any differences? If so, I'm not waiting...

I'm sure if we are on 211 it will not install even if it does show up. The update will only install over 181. But once it get in the wild we will be able to see if there are any differences then

Jittery or flickering screen - hard or software issue?

Hello, I have a European RAZR Maxx with ICS, not rooted and not anything. A factory reset was done right after the OTA update a few weeks ago. Yesterday, as I was reading some news, the screen started to jitter, flickering horizontally about 5 mm. The phone was still functional, screen was responsive but it was jittery in a very upsetting way. I did a soft reset and it did not help, then I switched it off for an hour and the problem went away. It has not come back since but I am very worried. Should I send it to service? Or was it just some soft issue? I hadn't installed any app immediately before it started to happen. I appreciate anyone's opinion. Thanks!

my xt908 did this today, is yours rooted? I'm trying to figure out why also. iI think it may happen when blue tooth is on
It's not rooted. In the meantime, I think I realized it only does that when I use flipboard. I un installed it and the problem went away.

If you uninstall a program and things work ok, then its not your phone. Relax. =p
Sometimes the atualization of software bring bugs and then we tend to think its our phone. =/

This is most likely due to glitches in hardware acceleration. It is so common that some apps have an option to disable use of hardware acceleration.
Out of curiosity, what is the exact version of your firmware? MIUI, which is based on an early ICS release, displays this behavior quite frequently, whereas it doesn't show up on the final ICS release of stock firmware.
That's good to know, thanks!

Motorola RAZR V Official Jellybean Update LIVE

Hi folks!
I've purchased an unlocked international version of the RAZR V recently, and today received the update for Jellybean 4.1 from Motorola! Its official and adds Google Now, an improved homescreen and MUCH MUCH better performance among a host of other new features!
Attached screenshot below for verification!
I'm not sure if this is an accidental update (I know Motorola has had issues with pushing updates early in the past.), as Motorola reps told me an Update wouldn't be in the cards until late April at the earliest.

It also includes a second cumulative update which contains other bug fixes.
I've got no idea if it's live globally now, but it might be a good idea to check your phones!
Thanks for the infos
Im still waiting for this. Moto are taking their time!

Is there any hope for an update in Canada? When I go to check for updates in my settings, it says I'm up to date, but I'm still running 4.0.4!
