[Q] Problem with gyroscope

Hi, sorry for the bad English but I had a question to ask about a problem on my tablet .. well .. when I use the gyroscope to play the controls are reversed .. if he goes around to the left and right .. is there a way to fix it? or is it a manufacturing problem
Which app?
Could be a problem with the app. Or do you get the same problem with all similar apps?
If left and right are switched it could possibly be solved by turning the device 180 degrees.
/Adam
unfortunately it is a problem with all applications .. I tried to turn but to no avail ... maybe I have to reformat? the problem is that they are the first experience with Android, and then I do not know where to start!

Compass issues after upgrading to Lollipop

Hey guys,
New smartphone user here. I've had Nexus 5 for a few months now.
Lollipop is really well made and the new visuals are great. Everything seems to be working well so far, except for my compass. It does not work either in my Compass app or in Google Maps. I've seen a few threads where people lost some of their sensors, so I downloaded Sensor Box to see what it would find.
The magnetic sensor works properly, but there isn't a "compass" sensor in it. Are they different or is the compass position determined using the magnetic sensor? The GPS Essentials compass does work, but it feels very slow and it's all over the place.
Additionally, when I start my Compass app, it does not activate Location like GPS Essentials would, although, it fetches my current address properly on top of the compass itself. (see attachment)
Could it be just that the compass works in a different way in Lollipop and apps have to be updated for it? I'm completely lost. Any help would be appreciated, guys.
Cheers,
I am experiencing the same issue.
I'm also having this issue, only app I did get it to work with was Compass 360. But I really only would need it for Google Maps, so this is still very annoying.
Did anyone come up with a solution, or at least an explanation yet?
Or does anyone know where to file a bug report about such an issue?
Are you sure the APIs just didn't change with Lollipop? If one app works and not another, it may not be a Lollipop bug.
Kompass is dead on for me, no issues whatsoever. Try moving the phone in a horizontal figure 8 to calibrate the kompass and watch for electrical/magnetic interferences.

Gyroscope not working

Hi, the gyroscope of my zenfone 4 max is not working. Apps such as sensorbox detects a "software gyroscope" sensor in the device, but don't get any data from it.
Anyone else having the same problem? Any ideas to fix this? I'm hoping it's not a hardware problem.
Many thanks.
Sorry but I'm a bit naive with the gyroscope test. How should i know of it is working or not? I tried testing it and it just keeps reading. There is no result showing. So either I click pass or fail button.
Does this test has something to do with the autorotate? Because I'm having sensitivity issues with autorotation. It wasn't on but when I play videos and tilt them, it activates.

Compass issues

Hi guys,
I have this phone now since launch and it is for me a good phone. But now i realized something that is annoying me.
In the specs is written that the phone has a compass, when i open a navigation app or compass app nothing works that show me the direction the phone shows.
Has somebody information to fix this?
I found a solution (temporary?) for this.
I restarted in the save mode, then it works.
Then i started again normally and still working.
Maybe the cause is an app. Will see when it happens the next time, but for now i just let it.

What compass application are you trying?
I've not ran into any issues with compass on my One Vision.

I tried with google maps, here go, and 4-5 compass apps just to test. Usually i don' t need any compass app, so i installed any i have seen in google store.
For now it is working, read my posting above.
