magnetic sensor does not work after installing N7 pa_gapps-full-4.3-20130802-signed pls help
Hi!
Does anybody know if there's a magnetic sensor built in in order to provide a wake up/sleep functionality? If so, where is its position?
Thank you in advance
Light sensor near the top of the screen, that's all I know about....
Thanks. Thought, there could be a magnetic one also.

Actually , All note 4 series has an build in magnetic sensor , but i am note sure just excatly where is it located or what is actually doing it , but i am sure that it does not related the usage of covers because even on my old phone (galaxy note 2) had it and i could not succseed to make it work with lots of magnetic covers , you can check and test yours magnetic sensor by installing a small program that i think the name was "android sensor box" , which is on google play and it does not require a root access , and after running it , may be you can find just excactly where it is , by moving your phone next to the metals (not magnet, i think home keys are just enough ) and by reading the values on sensor box , you can just evaluate , that excactly where it is
yes it has a Yamaha YAS532 magnetic sensor in the exynos versions. Located on the circuit board and is 1.5mm by 1.5mm in size.
And it works great with google cardboard's magnet [emoji6]
Is gyroscope in Samsung Galaxy S5 able to detect the phone position even when phone is not moving? I installed Gyroscope Explorer and according to this it looks like gyroscope, unlike accelerometer, is able to detect the phone position regardless that phone is still.
Probably using the compass sensor

Did you mean that gyroscope is not able to detect the phone position when phone is still, but it's able to compensate this with compass?
Hello zenfone users,
Today my sister's zenfone 2 laser arrived (ze550kl) and I have two questions:
The specification says that it has gyro but it's not working in youtube or Google camera ;\ cpuz shows "orientation sensor" that works like gyroscope because it shows angle of the device. What do you think? Is this real gyroscope that we will be able to use after modding?
My second question is about double tap to wake. I enabled it in settings but it's not working at all. In one shop that had zenfone laser on display it was working flawlessly. Is this hardware issue? It hasn't got any protector on screen. In fact all of the off screen shortcuts are not working.
Edit
OK sorry I'm stupid xD Doble tap works. I was trying it using this plastic cover that it comes with so proximity sensor thought that something is in front of it so tap wasn't working sorry.
My phone is ze 500 kl that's why it doesn't have gyro xd
I'm interested in knowing about gyroscope also, I'm planning to buy a ze601kl but if no gyro it's a no go for me...
Did you try with z-devicetest or similar sensors app to see if it works there?
Well I checked cpu-z on my friends moto g 2gen that has real gyro and it has both gyroscope and orientation sensor on the list. Both were showing angle of the phone but orientation in degrees and gyro in radians so that's strange. http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/general/specs-asus-zenfone-2-laser-t3242377 this says that it has gyro but for example google camera/youtube 360 can't see it.
edit
allright I found info here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/sensors/sensors_position.html
Orientation sensor is not a gyro! It works similar but it uses geomagnetic field sensor in combination with a device's accelerometer.
EDIT
ok again I'm stupid it's ze500kl not ze550kl xdd sorry
Plz mod delete this useless thread
Is their anyway I can use some sort of Virtual gyro sensor on this phone to play certain games that need it. I'm on a custom ROM if it makes a difference.With all these sensors cant gyro be emulated?
