[Completed] [Q] What does 0.0 mean for Android sensors? - XDA Assist

I have been searching everywhere (Google, Stack Overflow, and the Android pages) but I can't seem to find a reputable source that specifically states what a value for 0.0000000 means for a sensor. I am only recording onSensorEventChanged(SennsorEvent e) results. It seems like 0.000000 could be any of these.
Sensor reflects no change (but then why is it recording?)
Sensor is updating with a value too small to record.
Sensor is recording responses based on its refresh cycle. (highly unlikely from what I've read)
There was no change in the sensor and the record merely reflects the fact that the sensor was started (unlikely because I have a lot of consecutive data points)
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
yzpaul

Hi,
I found one thread that may or may help you,
> Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III > Sprint Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [Q] Proximity sensor is always "On". Can I calibrate it?
Otherwise, since this probably is not a device specific question, I'd ask here....

Good luck!

Thank you. Thread closed.

[Completed] [Q] Movement detecctor

I'd like to have the movement detector on, and also have the software send 3 photos a day. Is this possible?
The movement settings says only take photos when movement, I'd like it to do both.
How can I get 3 photos a day sent - I can't work out how to do this.
thanks

[Completed] Can one solve a bad sensor orientation in apps like Cardboard VR

in Cardboard Vr and all other VR apps, Yaw motion does pitch and Pitch motion does Yaw.
In other words, If I want to look at my left side, the phone will "look" down.
How can this issue be fixed? Kernel level? A running filter servioce?
I don't even know how to search this issue, and I am not a dev.
I just want to use the phone for VR+Head Tracking
Thank you
(the root issue might be the display's natural landscape orientation - the device is an Allview V1 Viper S - a rebranded Walton Primo S2)

[Completed] [Q] Is it possible to get microphone specs / infos within an Android app ?

Hello,
This is my first question (searched for the answer but did not find !) and I hope I'm posting at the right place.
I'm currently working on an Android app, and I would like it to be able to get access to the microphone sensitivity or at least model / reference.
I found a bunch of applications on the play store which can tell almost everything about built-in cameras / sensors etc. but nothing concerning the microphone.
I get a feeling that this info may be somewhere in /dev but can't manage to get to it.
Thanks a lot !

[Completed] Bluetooth hacking for android

Hi, I recently paired my samsung galaxy note 5 bluetooth with a stranger, who wants me to transfer a video i was taking for an event. I paired and transferred the video over to him but I cancelled it mid-way coz the file was over 700MB in size. The whole process probably took about half to 1 minute. My concern here is whether within that short period of time, was there any possibility that my phone would have been compromised, hacked and my personal data taken ? Thanks.

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
It's conceivable. BlueJacking, BlueSnarfing, and BlueBugging exists. And personal info is rather small. Not to freak you out, in that time it's possible for the other device to download your encrypted passwords top be cracked at a later point.
Probable is a different question. Depends partly on how much you trust this stranger. Personally, I would be looking to change my passwords just in case.

Hi Jim, thanks for the info and pointing out to me the right threads to go to. I will post my questions in the relevant threads. I have also registered myself an XDA account.
On your comments on resetting the passwords, I think I will do it. Though it will be quite a big exercise. But better to be safe than sorry. Anyways, curious to know, besides my encrypted password,s what are the other data that someone might be able to retrieve via bluetooth within that short period of time?
Cheers,
Raymond

I'm no expert on security; what else comes to mind is IMEI and cell phone number, maybe even address book. Unlike the password things, there really isn't any control over mitigating that.
Hopefully your encounter was on the up-and-up.
