Gyroscope Axis Problem - General Questions and Answers

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.

[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.

[Q] Gyroscope Bug? (ICS OTA)

Is anyone else having issues with the gyroscope when playing any games?
Nexus S i9020t Official OTA ICS
I have problem in asphalt 6 where the sensor just auto rotates the steering.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
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.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
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.

N64oid accelerometer controls

Ok well, I'm very happy with N64oid. I bought it from the SlideMe app store.
but does anyone know if there's away to calibrate the accelerometer? the control pad function is only at the neutral position for me when my phone is flat, i.e., parallel to the ground.
not all games are conducive to using the accelerometer for control, but some are, like starfox. but its not very usable to me if it can't be calibrated....
Don't use those controls Xo Its so whacked up. I use Sixaxis, or my Wiimote.

Using a nonsense rom? Bluetooth controllers won't work with sense-based roms
I'm using the touchscreen controls with Ocarina of Time with no problems whatsoever.

Modern Combat 3

Wow is it just me or are the touchpads horrible for this game? I just can't get the sensitivity right and they just feel sluggish. At times it will keep my character turning in a certain direction without my finger even on the touchpad. Blah...makes trying to play multiplayer not possible.

r u saying that the touchpads r working for you in mc3?
But i would suggest using only the left touchpad right thumb on the screen. its better to have one thumb on the screen then two!
Yes touchpads are working (if you can call it that) I got the game from the WAP Store from gameloft.

Same story here :\
Terrible gaming experience because of the controls.
I'm gonna try to get the PS3 dualshock controller working with it using the sixxaxis pairtool. At least then I would be able to enjoy the game. Just hope I can get the key mapping done right.

It does not have any gamepad support yet except xperia play. the only way you can use a ps3 pad with it is with sixaxis app on market and you will need to map the buttons and sticks with touch profiles. Tip if want to get it playing nice with that make sure MC3 in game controller settings and pick sticks. Been playing this like that on my Xperia S with HDMI works ok.

Yeh I have the sixxaxis app but can't figure out how to get it to work with the xperia play and MC3. The analog sticks don't move the player. You got MC3 working on the Xperia S or are you referring to other games?

I have the older MC3 apk, where the controls didnt suck as bad and everytime I load up the game I always decline the update......... I think to some extent the controls are better then MC2......

Yeah got it running on S but it had to be modded. Just wish gameloft just sorted it out and support the products they sell.

Yes, played online 4 games last night 3 and today.. plays good no lag and smooth as butter... the version I use is the 1.0.1, the newer version that screwed up the controls and gave it major lag is 1.1.1.
I used to have Modern Combat 3, I hated the controls so much, I was expecting them to feel like how they do on Minecraft Pocket, which feel amazing!
The original market version is the best one
Controls work great and you dont loose progress when online

how can i get the version 1.0.1? im on 1.1.1 and ive paid for it from the google play store, ive tried emailing gameloft but as usual their customer service is absolutely terrible
Would it be better to buy this from Gameloft's store or from Google Play?
I know you guys are all saying that 1.0.1 is the better one to get but Ive had trouble finding (aarrrr) it hehe.
Hm... I was kinda getting pissed that the Gameloft Wapshop version hasn't been updated.
...but if the update's just gonna make everything ****ty, maybe I should be glad I didn't buy from the Google Play Store.
OR, OR, OOOOR!!... Gameloft could stop ****in around and make all their Xperia Play games work like Dead Space. Shadowgun's controls went from **** to sugar... and Gameloft has far more resources to work with opposed to Madfinger.
