Ok in the galaxy s2. If you go to settings, display, then at the bottom, you have horizontal calibration and gyro sensor calibration.
If you choose horizontal calibration you get a little test thing with the dot in the middle and it moves as you tilt the device.
When I go to gyro sensor calibration the dot just stays in the middle and does not move. Is this normal ?
Can someone try the above please
yep i tried this before, same here, but i think it's normal
If you look two different calibrations .
jje
I know, but shouldn't the dot move when you tilt the device. I thought thats what the gyro does
Do it while you are in the car (as a passenger), and see if that move when the car accelerates or slows down
Why would one calibration act the same as another .
jje
I am having the same problem the gyro calibration was working till i click on calibrate as soon as i clicked it i no longer see the ball moving :/ tried wiping and everything nothing worked.
Mine doesn't move either.
I could of sworn mine was moving last time I checked! Very strange..
I cant get mine to move either.
Maybe this might help.

the gyro problem is annoying .. every app just turn into landscape mode :/
hope someone fix it fast ;/

Before I root my Samsung, can you tell me what rom you have installed or what you did last?
Thx

Lite'ning rom , it was working untill i clicked on calibrate after clicking it it got stuck :/ well that me i don't know about the OP.
I have the same problem (indications for gyro callibration) but also a magnetic sensor problem (see this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111355 threat)
I used an app called sensor test / plot which shows problems with the magnetic sensor and orientation.
Anyone having the same problem?
Try an App called GPS status, it displays the output of all the GS2s sensors on one screen, including satellites, compass, gyro and accelerometer, at least you can reassure yourselves that the various sensors are actually working

All the numbers move for me using the sensor test/plot app.
in sensor test everything is working but the phone just stay in landscape mode .. thats the problem that i have.
You can try *#0*# on your dialler and then use the Sensor test and check if everything is all right.
tested on *#0*#it says its working fine as well .. :/
Recently my magnetic sensor did not work. Yesterday suddenly it came to life exept I don't trust it.
Just to check if my sensors are OK I would like to compare some data. I use *#0*# and the SENSOR
My readings are (when on table):
ACCELEROMETER Sensor Raw Data
x:-10/10 y:-20/-40 z:3030/3060
Gyroscope Sensor
Y:-0.01/-1.00 P:0.01/0.80 R:0.01/0.90
Gyro self test OK, Graph shows normal plot with rotation around all axes)
Magnetic Sensor
Magnetic: x:-45 y:-600 z:1086 (values change with orientation but stay around the same range, exept for the z value, it stays at 1086.48 contantly)
Azimuth: 176 (changes just +/-2 degr with rotation and +/- 20 degr with roll)
Pitch: 0,050 (changes normal with pitch)
Roll: 0,40 (changes normal with roll)
Little compass indicates South (red line towards you) and does not change with rotation (just +/- 20 degr with roll). It also says need for calibration and the number 0.
I know values will be different with everyone but should be around the same range. I have values (Accelerometer) in the 10 / 30 and 3000 range depending on de axis. Same with the Magnetic sensor 50 /600 and 1080 range.
As the magnetic z-axis value is stuck I expect a faulty sensor.
the test is all good to me but the image test it failed to move from landscape to normal. hope someone can help :/
I have tried many apps showing sensors and light meters but none of them found the light meter sensor.
When I went to service mode (by dialing *#*#7378423#*#*) I saw the values of the light sensor working well and monitor illuminance works great as well.
Why sensor apps don't show the light sensor? Does anyone else has the same problem?
It's because the sensors are a new type from Sony Ericsson and the apps doesn't recognize them.

Hi all,
I have an Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i) currently running CM9.1 FXP 148. I'm having two slightly annoying issues that I haven't managed to fix yet, so I'm hoping to get some help from the smart folks here:
The digital compass doesn't seem to function properly, that is the little arrow is spinning like crazy in Google Maps and it definitely does not behave as a compass should in other compass apps (like Smart Tools, for example). It's jerky and, if I rotate the phone too much, the indicated North (either the true or the magnetic one) change instead of always being in the same direction.
The light sensor is driving me crazy. Under flourescent lighting, the backlight is blinking/flashing like crazy. My question is, can we take over the light sensor, i.e. use another application for changing the display backlight, with different algorithms?
Thank you all for your time and for your help.
2. try Lux app. In mini pro it can only use front/rear camera though, not light sensor.
Does anyone know how photosphere can be fixed to recognize properly the gyro and compass sensors? I've tried several roms and 4.2 camera versions and on my phone the horizontal motion is not detected at all and the vertical motion is averaged badly (~15s). So I assume there is a setting somewhere or a device link that needs to be made so that photosphere recognizes the gyro and another setting somewhere else for the time averaging constant.
Panorama works ok and that [I think] it relies as well on the gyro.
Yes, I tried GPS Status calibration, letting the phone on a flat surface with photosphere turned on, extreme rotations around all axes.
The razr doesn't have drivers for a gyroscope, just compass and accelerometer so photosphere will never work.

But opening GPS Sensor and Turbo GPS I see the absolute radial tracking is correct. Google sky works and so does panorama. I assume by this that the gyro (measuring speed of rotation) is not really needed since it can be determined from differentiating the magnetometer.
Maybe a custom device driver can be built that emulates this? Would be interested in doing this.
Hi,
after replacing the battery of my SGS6 Edge some sensors are not working.
1. Light sensor is not working when the brightness is set to automatic
2. Gyroscope sensor is not working when screen rotates
maybe other sensors are not working properly too.
I already tried to restart the phone but there is no effect.
On the hidden service menu the the light all sensors seems to work.
The light sensor is working 100% - when I cover it, it shows "0 lux"
The Gyroscope Sensor is working too, but what does the "OIS GYRO" mean? The value on X and Y does not change.
It's my business phone with a lot of data and apps. Thats the reason why I still don't try a hard reset.
Is there a solution whithout resetting the phone?
EDIT: Gyroscope seems to work... strange. But light sensor is still not working. Brightness does not change.
i've similar issue with mine, but I don't know if battery was changed before was given to me, I tried many roms nougat and marshmallow based, but the problem persist. with automatic brightness on, if I scroll the bar, it doesn't change anithing, I've to disable the automatism
