same problem here...i have the gyroscope bug with alphat 6, gt free hd and bia2 free

I have same problem in BIA2 free+

same problem
I have exactly the same problem

lol, when i play gta3 the car will always steer left.

I presume mostly software incompatibility with ICS.

Yep same for me. Can't play Asphalt 6 with accelerometer. It always steers to the left. Gameloft gotta fix it for ICS or there goes my 10 cents on this game
I installed Accelerometer test app and it's working fine. So it gotta be ICS incompatibility on these games.

found this thread while searching google for this same bug. there are gyro bugs in some other apps under ics 4.0.3, such as atilt labyrinth and xclinometer. in those apps, if you tilt the device up/down the ball will move left/right. maybe if you tilt up/down you can steer in asphalt 6. i've already uninstalled it. the raging thunder racing games work correctly.

The gyroscope works fine with Modern combat 3 on ICS ota.

Nexus Gyro Problem
I have problem with gyro while plaing bia2. Same game on Samsung Note works just fine. It seems like gyro stays oriented for portrait mode, which is not supported by the game.

[Q] G-sensor (Orientation) fix

screen orientation works perfectly, but just until I start playing racing games. I turn device left but car goes right, right - car goes left. Tried other games - problems.
I checked sensors using some sensor test soft and noticed that when I actually pitch the device up program shows that I roll it left. pitch down - rolls right. when I roll it left it shows that I pitch it up....
I have another same transformer which in comparison works well in all cases, so I put devices near each other and checked how x, y, z behaves. and both give same figures! So I'm confused...
my question is:
As I think sensors are OK, are there any software solutions or other ways to deal with that problem?

I've noticed on a few games that even though the screen is landscape, it treats the orientation like you are still in portrait mode! I think it might have to do with the fact that some apps were written for phones that don't have landscape mode... ould be wrong though - just a guess!
Other games work fine.. Do you have any apps that use the orientation correctly?

I used app "Sensor test and plot" to check orientation. It says something is wrong and I think it does not depend on app version...

I'm not following - so you believe that it is a hardware issue in your case?
I do not know now. I think it is software... I did hard reset as suggested by Asus "experts". Nothing has changed.

Do ANY apps utilize the orientation sensor ok?
Just tried Reno air races... works ok... any car/boat racing games not ok

Yeah, I think you are seeing the issue I was talking about (app assumes portrait for orientation, even though you are playing in landscape).
Let me find a free racing game and try it - can you give some examples of games that dont work properly for me to try?
EDIT: I just tried Riptide GP and Reckless Getaway and the orientation sensor works perfectly.... Can you try one of those games (both very good games)?
Try Wave Blazer lite. Maybe you are right. I'be just tried Raging Thunder and it worked ok for me
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk
Yeah, Wave Blazer doesn't work for me either - it's definately a phone app (can tell by the resolution).
A real good racing app for tablets is Riptide GP - it works fine..... $6.99 though! Ouch...
Reckless Getaway is really cool too and the orientation sensor works fine with it too...

Now I understand. It is really so simple.Thanks a lot. Now I can explaine my son why some games just behaves like crazy...
Do you know any method of adjusting z axis (my son is complaining about floating icecubes wallpaper. It is not fully horizontal while pad stands on the table)

So basically you can't play phone apps that require G-Sensor on tablets? (Temple run etc.) I have somewhat the same problem. Doesn't that mean that there is some sort of setting in the phone that tells the phone to rotate g-sensor orientation when playing landscape, and only when the application is running in the foreground? Temple Run (portrait) running in the foreground on phones work even if Need for Speed (landscape) is running in the background. If there is a system setting controlling this, then couldn't we bring that setting over to tablets? I don't see how that couldn't be done.
Edit: I think some tablets don't have this problem.

Ics compability?

Gyroscope Axis Problem

I have a Fusion Garage Grid 10, which is a Tegra 2 device. The axis on the gyroscope are reversed in the games I install from the market. How do I unreverse them? Thanks.

BUMP
Can someone please point me in the right direction here? It is annoying because the games run correctly, but I end up having to tilt the device to the left in order for it to register as tilting forward in the game, and vice versa.

3D games rendering problem

Hi,I have a problem with many 3D games on my samsung GT-B5510.the problem is when I play a 3D game (some works fine) I cant see anything and there are many squares in the screen as shown in the picture attached below.
Some of these games are : Punch Heroes,Great Little War and raging thunder 2.

Sometimes these happen after android update. May be the Game Devs need to fix. Other games are working good?
