Guest Funkaholiq Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 I didn't know this at first, but the galaxy s features a 6 axis gyroscope! This means great opportunities for games/apps, developers :) Does anyone know if there is an app to test it? if not, can someone pls hint a developer :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gravityz3r0 Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 can you cite the source you were getting from? from what i check only the 4 US variants has gyroscope but the generic Galaxy S doesnt have it :) source : http://briefmobile.com/samsung-galaxy-s-guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tanis64 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 is there anyone know whether non-US version has gyroscope? I have the European Version (bught by Amazon Germany) wich has a SMB380 Acceleration, an MS-3C Orientation, and a MS-3C Magnetic Sensors. There is no 6-Axis Gyroscope in the Eruropean Samsung Galaxy S I9000. But the combination of this sensors is also very good for gaming. Only thing the Sensor has an factory offset wich must be recalibrated and that can be done with on board Software but not without Super User Rights.

Guest LouisR Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Does anyone know if there is an app to test it? if not, can someone pls hint a developer :) Checkout the compass app (free in market). Change the compass type to GPS. In this mode it will show you the pitch and roll of your phone as well as the compass direction and also the GPS data.

Guest Tanis64 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) Sorry to pull up an old thread but how did you recalibrate the sensor , i just got this phone and i am dead worried of the offset. Thanks , i am looking forward to your reply Phone must be rooted STOP before pressing enter read the rest of this post! Code: adb shell su /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha (can also be done from the phone with a terminal software like better terminal) place the Phone horizontally on a table or somerhing flat, from which you knmow it is a correct horizontal area. keep in mind that the phones back isn't flat so lay it on the edge of that table. keep still in this position Press Enter after this reboot or restart the phone. Thats all regards Christopher Edited July 12, 2010 by Tanis64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Christopher I'm pretty sure there are now 6-axis gyroscopes at all. There are only three rotational axis in a 3d world. At least as far as I know. It is the combination of gyroscope and accelerometer that makes it a 6 axis device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andrew Luecke Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 There seems to be a long response on the benefits here: http://diydrones.com/profiles/blog/show?id...:BlogPost:41145 IT's certainly interesting, and seems to suggest that they are gyro's with accelerometers built in..

Guest amir_rafie Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Hi , As you know, all of the 4 american versions of Galaxy S have 6 axis accelerometer which is a combination of traditional 3 axis accelerometer and a 3 axis gyroscope like iPhone 4. but what about the international version of Galaxy S ? I thought the international version has only 3 axis accelerometer but today Omar Khan in MobileBeat 2010 conference shows a slide with international version of Galaxy S and there is a sentence above it: What do you think? source: http://mobile.venturebeat.com/2010/07/12/m...-with-galaxy-s/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sekobati Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 i think it has 6 axis acc. cause i just compared it to the omnia 2 and it beats the sh*# out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Natsirt Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 6 Axis.. wow thats 6-D!!!! perceive dimensions in gaming not yet available in reality! I kid i kid. on a more serious note, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SvXljHGcH4...eos=gRe4WCgyhig Omar Khan claims that the european version of the galaxy S has 6 axis gaming. Much alike the iphone 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much alike the iphone 4. Well in that video he says it's a 3 axis accelerometer X 2 axis geo-magnetic (i.e. compass) = 6D so that doesn't sound much like a gyroscope unfortunatly.

Guest Michael Pang Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 well, from here, it states that it can work likes gyroscope. http://android.hdblog.it/2010/07/20/galaxy...iamo-chiarezza/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wiped earlier today then did a nandroid restore when nothing changed after wiping. If noone has a "dude, you suck googling, follow this [link], it's tell you" i might have to go request Vibrant #3.....
