My droid 1 has a magnetic sensor which is used as a compass, car dock auto enable and alarm clock auto enabler. Does the sensation come with this?
Most likely. It has the compass feature that could be used in Maps. I don't see why it wouldn't.

If you're asking if it has a magnetometer, then yes, it does.

Hi,
Is there any difference between G-Sensor and Gyro Sensor?
HTC Sensation specifications states both sensors
Sensors
Gyro sensor
G-Sensor
Digital compass
Proximity sensor
Ambient light sensor
There is, but it's kinda subtle.
A G-sensor (accelerometer) can measure the change in acceleration of the device towards a direction. If you move the handset with a constant speed (no acceleration) then it shouldn't pick any signal. However, when moving their hand people change the speed slightly so an accelerometer picks that, but it will look sluggish.
A gyroscope can measure orientation, rotation and speed, so it can complement data collected from the accelerometer to smoothen out the reading of movement a great deal.
It's not the most important thing ever, but it's definitely a plus. Apps that use gyroscopes (mostly games and augmented reality apps) behave way more smoothly with it.
To put it more simply: The G-sensor measures the movement of the device. (By measuring acceleration). The gyro measures the tilt. They can work together to get more precise measurments of both.
Thanks for the explanations Guys...
Hello,
I'm trying to use the Rotation vector (TYPE_ROTATION_VECTOR) sensor on my app but I can't get it working on the Shield. I have registered the sensor to fire the event onSensorChanged(), and it works on any other devices but the Shield.
When I list all available sensors, the ROTATION_VECTOR is there. Using CPU-Z, I can see the MPL Rotation Vector sensor but there is no data. I can see data on other devices.
Do you have any idea where would this problem come from?
Thank you!
Accelerometer, light, magnetic, orientation and proximity sensors stopped work.
In the AndroSensor shows the message "waiting for event" in all.
Does anyone knows what can it be?
Hello everyone.
I use M8Sx Single SIM Europe variant.
I changed my up and bottom covers of front, and my proximity sensor doesn't work.
It works after I use Rezound Proximity Sensor Calibrator app or some proximity sensor detection app, but after a reboot, I have to reopen the app and calibrate it again.
Is there a solution for this?
Thanks.
Hi
I have a problem with sensors. Sometimes they work, and sometimes they don't (Compass Magnetometer, Proximity sensor, Accelerometer, Ambient light sensor, Gyroscope). Checked also service tests (*#*#7378423#*#*).
I bought Z3 as used device. Had to replace microphone and week later LCD. Everything was working properly before and after replacing elements except sensors.
What can be the cause?
I have android 6.0.1 since I have Z3
When you check proximity sensor in service test does it works?
For me it seems like something was crashed or not connected properly because jack, microphone, proximity and ambient light is connected with one flex tape .
P.S. Today I had to disassembly Xperia Z3 because there was also problem with proximity sensor - at my case it works from time to time in service menu. Finally my problem was solved after revoming dust
If the sensors work, they work everywhere. Everything seems to be fine, also in service test. But if they don't work, also service tests are fail.
Proximity sensor and Ambient light sensor are on this element
gsmforyou.pl/files/313240969/tasma_gniazdo_zlacze_hf_czujnik_sony_z3_d6603 .jpg
but Compass Magnetometer, Accelerometer, Gyroscope are on mainboard.
So why they all don't work at this same time? I could change the element from the link but will this solve the problem?
