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.

Just the LTE one

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
Don't you all think the sensors quality are bad in honor 6x. The screen rotation sensor is very bad as it is very slow. Many ither cheaper phones does it faster. Can anybody suggest me something about this problem.
I bought this phone in the thanksgiving sale. The phone is awesome! I have one question for you guys.
The specs here says there is gyro in Mediapad X2, but i couldnt find it in my GEM-703L. How do i find it please? Also, would like to ask if anyone has seen 360 degrees videos and is working on X2? I tried youtube videos, but my head movement is not detected and hence the 360 videos don't work. Has anybody tried that? Please guide on how to use that on my phone? Thanks
Does Redmi 6 really have no gyros? Any variants? For in some places I see that it is, and others that do not.
This phone doesn't have gyroscope sensor, this has electronic compass, so this phone can only show the direction and not the acceleration.
I recently bought the following phone.POCO X3 NFC- Smartphone 6+128GB, 6,67” FHD+ Punch-hole Display, Snapdragon 732G, 64MP AI Penta-Camera, 5160mAh, Shadow GrayIt worked fine for six about weeks and now I'm getting the screen switch of during calls issue which I've seen commented on on this forum and elsewhere. I've tried all the recommended solutions with regard to the proximity sensor, but no success. Although I must say my settings don't have an option for the proximity sensor that some youtube clips are showing and I had to go down the other suggested route. I thought this problem would have been fixed by now. So does anyone have any new solutions (I've seen the previous thread)? It's pretty scandalous that they're still selling this phone when it's causing such issues.
