Bothers in Arms 2 with Gyro sensor enabled works great in LG Optimus Black. Does SL also have gyro to support it?
of course it has
Thanks. Have u tried ixGyro app from the android market?
I think it hasn't a gyroscope. It has a 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis magnetometer.
Nop.Checked using Elixir app.Our phone doesnt have a gyroscope.
"accelerometer" is different with "gyroscope"...
and our device doesnt have gyroscope, but "only" accelerometer
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
can any one update there rom with active display ,double twist to camera , double chop to flash (like in moto g 2015 )?????
'd love to this features in upcoming rom

You're requesting already broken functions srsly.
The chop function requires better sensors to eventually work and be useful. Even the first get Moto X has problems with this.
For active display, dunno, maybe use AcDisplay?
And double twist for camera requires gyro, so it won't work.

But there is no gyro in moto g 3d gen

I'm not sure, but maybe that's the reason for it being a bit non-responsive, where on moto x it's flawless.
Also G3 probably had different sensors, that are not that accurate, this needs clarification.
hello, im think about buying Lenovo P70 which doest have compass and gyroscope sensor... just want to ask, do these sensors is really a must in smartphone or it just okay if is not in the phone... im rarely used compass as i dont know what to use for... or there a lots of apps need to have this sensor to working? i really want to buy this phone but these sensors really confusing me whether it should be in the phone or not... please answer... thx
Although these sensors are becoming more popular in android phones, I do not think most of the apps on the market are using them. Compass and gyro can be used to measure the devices position in 3d space more accurately than the standard accelerometer, but this is not necessary in for example majority of games. If you cannot come up with something that you need these sensors for, they are not necessary. Including these sensors may increase the phones price a little bit, but not by much [citation needed].

thanks for the reply... its helpful:good:
Does the P30 have a barometer sensor?
I couldn't get barometer apps to work with it.
I found contradictory info on the Webb regarding the presence of a barometer sensor.
Thanks!
There's no barometer sensor, I'm afraid.

what site did you see that it has a barometer ?
it has no barometer sensor
P30 or P30 pro it has no barometer sensor :fingers-crossed:
only Mate series It has sensor barometre , unfortunately a big minus for the huawei company
