Hi, I've just bought the HTC Touch2 so I'm 'novice in this. In some specifications there is written Touch2 should have G-sensor and Light sensor, but I can't get going any application for it and also I have no GSensorSDK.dll or the dll for Light sensor in the device. What's the problem in this thing? Do Touch2 have the sensors or not?
I also bought a Mega and I'm pretty sure that it's not equipped with a GSensor and light sensor.
Hey I was just wondering if it is possible to gain the same function as the iPad 2 has with its proximity sensor with our gtablets since we have a light sensor?
I'm not sure if it has already been asked before or if the devs are working on something similar but to me it would just make our already amazing tablet even greater
I'm not 100% sure, but I think a proximity sensor requires both a transmitter and a receiver. I assume IR.
I think iphone & ipad use light sensor to make a trick on the proximity sensor, if the light get completly darken it will assum that the device is close to a hard surface, ie: the face in the case of the iphone, so i assume that it will be posible to do so with a little software trick ... btw, anyone know which ROM take the advantage of this light sensor setting in use? don't see it on Vegan ..

At the top of the phone there are two sensors.
The first is the proximity sensor.
Which kind of sensor is the second one?
Thanks
Hello friends, I have a question that is because the camera JB have no option to photosphere?
The specs say that the Moto G has Gyroscope.

Moto G doesn't have a gyro sensor, so this is the reason why Photosphere won't ever work.
Are you sure it has no gyro? Some site report it has gyro, some other no.
You can try installing photospere.apk and check if if works

The Moto G has an accelerometer. Since it's able to determine X/Y/Z I was able to play Ridiculous Fishing on it. So, I have no idea, why an accelerometer shouldn't be enough for Photosphere to work properly.

Accelerometer and gyro sensor are completely different types of sensors, read Wikipedia.
I suspect it doesn't have a gyro because all sensor test apps report that there is no gyro sensor...

Hang on a moment the Moto G does have a g-sensor. Explain why Temple Run works when it requires a g-sensor for its tilting functionality? There are some videos on YouTube that show the Moto G in action by tilting it, which would require a g-sensor to be on board. An Accelerometer only measures speed/motion, and is used on some mobile devices to determine if the device is in landscape or portrait orientation.
A g-sensor (Gyrometer) determines where a device is on an axis (eg to see where the device is tilted and by how much).

Temple Run (and other games like RR3) rely on accelerometer. It doesn´t need a gyroscope. Sorry.

The g-sensor is the accelerometer, not the gyroscope. The accelerometer measures the device's acceleration compared to the free fall vector (the direction of the g-force), and the gyroscope measures it to a fixed axis of the phone itself.
If you are somewhat handy at flight dynamics, you should know that a plane has three dimensions of rotation: the roll, the pitch and the yaw. An accelerometer can only measure roll and pitch because the axis he yaw is measured to is the orientation of the gravitational pull. Because of he gyroscope has an independent reference axis it can measure all three dimensions which is needed not just keeping a plane safely in the air, but for the photosphere feature too.
How does a level app works then? Smart Tool is able to display pitch and roll correctly
Edit: Found my answer, it has a multipurpose AK8963 magnetometer which also provides orientation and hall effect (magnetic cover screen on/off)
Moto G does have a gyroscope. I'm not sure if it's just the 4g edition or not, but mine does.

Oh okay. Makes sense.
photosphere alternative without gyroscope
Crystal Photo Surround is the best alternative (or perhaps the only one I could find) to photosphere that works on my Moto G 1st gen without a gyroscope (2nd gen has got gyroscope). Eventhough the app needs some improvement and is tiresome to capture, it's fun! Shots captured in it won't be recognised as a photosphere in Google+ since it doesn't embed the META data, required to recognize as one. It can be viewed in the app though. I think it uses accelerometer and magnetometer in place of gyroscope. Hope the developer comes up with an update which will make shots captured in it is recognize as a photosphere or some other developers in this forum can possibly develop an app on similar lines.
If you want to try it, head over to play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.npisunflower.photosurround

i have it in my moto g 2014
I have a Nexus 4 and saw where it has Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Compass, Barometer sensor's and
the Moto G 2015 only has the Accelerometer sensor.
I do a lot of walking and use various apps to track my walks like the Fit and Mapymywalk Apps
Would missing the Gyroscope, and Compass sensors effect tracking abilities
Thanks
It has a compass and gps works great for me
Sent from my MotoG3 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm sure an accelerometer would work fine for a replacement for a pedometer.

Navigation works fine, so if you GPS tracking there won't be a problem.
There's no step counter on the phone though.

I've tested it with a Garmin Vivofit and a Fitbit Charge and they both work fine. I've also used the My Tracks app and it works very well also.
Thanks, maybe Santa will bring me one
I use GPS. Very good.
