I'm searching a developer who can build an app to read the sensor data oit of the galaxy tab. Cause I wanne know of there is an gyroscope sensor on bord or not, samsung site is a joke with its tec specs. In my mind btw its even not clear what kind of display is build in, s-lcd or more likely a ips, but what kind of ips?
May someone can help me out.
ps:are there any games or apps actually using a gyrocope sensor in android?
Thanks
The display is a first gen ips, aka super tft.

yeah like I thought, because of the battery lifetime
you can find detailed specs here: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_p1000_galaxy_tab-3370.php
also, the tab has a three-axis gyro sensor

I know that there are some spec out, first it said there would be a AMOLED but now its an ips, so I dont trust extern spec cheets, I wanne se it work!
i am holding it right now and its ips... there are lots of very detailed spec sheets out already - google is your friend!

Im holding it too right now, its not about the display I know that this is an IPS but befor I have not seen the gyro in action I wont trust those specs, whats is their source? Just want to confirm it
Ive used gsmarena for years. They are always correct. Also backed by Sotovik, a analytics company in Russia that belongs to a electronics retail group. They are trusted resources.
Also, online flash games at m.kongregate.com require a hardware sensor to function, you can test it yourself if already own the tab!

I dont think you actually know the difference between accelerometer and gyroscope, like mentioned before: use google!
And pls back to topic, anyone out there who can read the gyroscope data out?

indeed youre right i did not... no need to be snippy however
Sorry if it reached you so, but when someone want to correct me and dont know about what I mean I could became somekind "snippy".
To tell u what a gyro does: it recognises the turning of the phone like when u look around in a n egoshooter with your mouse. The accelerometer can only recognise the g-force of the earth so as you know you have to turn your tab in so position that apps reg. the movement at all. So the compass is what you think of it. You can imagine that the gyro is a kombined compass and a accelerometer, buts its another thing, with all the things compass acc and gyro kombinated you cann do everything like in a pc ego
best to see this iphone video:

According to http://www.isuppli.com the galaxy tab uses the STMicroelectronics L3G4200D, essentially the same chip as in the iphone 4.
The difference between accelerometer and gyroscope is that the former detects translation and the latter rotations. Both are implemented by MEMS integrated circuits.
You can also get information about rotations from the digital compass...

There are several apps in the Android Market for this: Sensor Test (ctsr.android.SensorTest) works fine and shows gyro, too.
I'm more wondering, where the proximity sensor is - on my tab, it never changes value...

all I know taht there is no need of a proximity sensor, or do you want so hold it like a telephone to your ear that the screen has to hybernate? Dont think so ;-)

I am the developer of "phone tester". This app allows you to test sensors, wifi, gps, battery, the multitouch screen and gives you information about the system. Currently doesn't support giroscope sensor, but yes in next update, probably in this weekend.
it has a gyro. I installed NOVA today, which recognized this ability and asked if I want to use it. I can confirm that I was able to operate the game on the horizontal axis.

Hi there.
I got a hold of my new S4 yesterday like a lot of you and I'm noticing there aren't apps that take advantage of the advanced features that the Galaxy S4 provides.
I thought I'd start a thread to post Apps that take advantage of things like the ;
barometer, temperature sensor, IR capabilities, etc..
Sensor box
Found a neat program that will give you some sensor data including the Barometer and light sensors...
"Android sensor box" by IMOBLIFE INC.
Anyone seen anything that can be used as a universal remote control? "Peel" really falls short.
Most of the time you will not use any of those features. They are more useful to samsung for its markerting.

Hey Ppl
Here's a Scheme over difference on S4 Mini vs S4
More will come (Camera Features)
//
dong2007
Don't forget no USB OTG or MHL for the Mini, as well as no (official) wireless charging back available at the moment.
Your Resolution is spelt wrongly.
Both phones have a microSD slot supporting up to 64gb. You could also include the front camera resolution and camera feature differences.
- camera missing this fancy Multi picture Mode (don't remember the name)
- camera has no Option for automatic night mode
- Samsung Text Scanner app is not installed and can also NOT be loaded from Samsung app store
- LED is far better in torch mode (S4 is almost useless compared) Yes, at least one point on the S4 mini side!
- no vibration feedback on hard buttons
- entire vibration feedback (on keyboard ) is extremely worse, not the crispy tack-tack-tack of the S4, more a wobbly summ-summ-summ, almost useless. This is a hardware issue and does not change with 3rd party keyboards. Also no settings for vibration feedback available in settings menu.
- no Glimpse View
- ...

- no gestures

- front camera 1.9 vs. 2.1 MPix. and has less wide angle on the S4 mini

- no pressure, temperature and humidity sensors
- no S-Health app

At the S4 there's also just 9GB available out of the installed 16GB. Just to be fair if you mention the 5GB available on the S4mini.

Is it true ????
" no USB OTG or MHL for the Mini" ???
Please replay to me
I am going to purchase the dual sim model day after tomorrow
Both are very important to me....
Edit:-
----------------------
I have got the answer from other thread.
Many thanks to "magus57" for giving this clue.
Updated thread*
New "Scheme" & added "Features" pics
You can get the apk for S Health.
There surely isn't MHL.
I am not sure if there is or isn't USB OTG. When you go to /storage you can find USBDriveA-F as files.
USB OTG is not supported. Plugging in devices will not show up on the S4 mini in any way.

yap, Sony XPERIA V. maybe even cheaper
Storage size
Note that the I9195 does come in 16GB variants in some locations (this seems to be suprisingly poorly advertised and even GSMArena, but you can confirm it from a search and in any case I have a 16GB model right beside me. The free space was IIRC about 12GB before I installed anything but my telco installed some extras

thanks. but got a s3
I just got an 8GB/1GB model Moto G XT-1540from BestBuy, it looks like the ones from Motorola directly take time to come in, and this was an instant way to test and compare the Moto G. So far these are things I noticed.
1) The haptic feedback makes the phone sound like something is shaking inside, which feels a bit cheap. This may be a bad early production model.
2) There is no notification light though androidpit did show a picture of one. Not sure where they got their pic since it does seem to be a moto g 3rd gen in their pics.
3) There is no gryoscope, pressure sensor, or temperature sensor in the phone. It does have a magnetic sensor.
4) The back plate around the camera accent seems to have a small gap on one side even thought everything is clicked in, it may not be waterproof due to this, or maybe it's just variation in manufacturing, but it does worry me a bit.
5) The camera does have a 720p slo-mo option
6) It seems to open things faster than my Galaxy s4, which really surprised me, but is definitely nice to see.
7) There's no really good way to display battery percentage. Moto didn't build an option in, and the lollipop built in option needs to be enabled by an app and results in a very small percentage in the battery icon itself which is hardly legible. As roms and root and custom options come out, I suspect there will be ways to fix this, but in the meantime it's kind of stinky.
8) It has an FM radio. The app requires headphones to be plugged in as it uses them as the antenna, but it seems to work pretty well. I don't really care about this feature too much, but I know some people do.
I still haven't put it through anything too taxing, but if anyone wants to know if it can run any particular games ok or anything feel free to ask, or if there's any features you're curious about.
EDIT: Also I wanted to note one more thing that really blew me away. This phone has the same storage, ram, and a higher resolution screen compared to the LG Leon, which is a cheap T-mobile branded phone. I bought one of them about a month ago to test, and despite a lower res screen and the same general specs, it was laggy, annoying, and the low res screen was a huge nuisance as so little could fit on it. Compared to that phone the Moto G runs buttery smooth and goes a great job, it really is fairly comparable to my Galaxy S4 and seems to load things quicker, though it does also seem to have priority on wifi which means it gets all the bandwidth while the S4 is struggling to get its share, which may partly account for that.
Could you conffirm usb otg support ?
Thanks in advance man, i'm looking forward to get the 2gb version myself. Some people over the internet say there is no usb otg support, i think it's kind of an unlikely scenario, but it would be nice if an actual user confirms it.

The USB OTG Checker app says the phone has the API. I don't have anything I can plug into the phone to test that for signal though. Hope this helps even if just a bit. If there's a way to test actual functionality without a female usb a to male micro usb b, let me know. I do have a wireless keyboard but without a cable like that, I don't think there's a way for me to test the functionality.
There is USB-OTG support.

There is USB-OTG support. The phone is pretty much good. Does the work, but, I would have preferred a gyroscope sensor instead of FM Radio.

Me too, gyroscope is way more useful than Radio, I'd rather have a notification light too though, it costs next to nothing and is so useful. Moto display isn't nearly as functional.
It's pretty sad that it doesn't have a gyroscope, last years model did have one.
Gotta disagree, I love the FM radio and am glad Motorola still includes it. It's a bummer about the gyroscope, but I never used it. I'm much more disappointed by the lack of a notification LED and being forced to use Moto Display.
Speaking of which, does the Moto Display show music player controls on the lockscreen? I use Poweramp and I'm wondering if I would be able to pause/play/rewind/skip on the lockscreen without having to input a PIN or do extra actions just to get to the music controls.

No it does not. I just put poweramp on my phone and when I flip the phone up to turn on moto display it only shows the time and the unlock option because I have no notifications at the moment. If I use the power button to turn on the screen I can see the skip and play/pause options for poweramp though, so there is that. Hope that helps.

Thanks for answering. So Moto Display doesn't show the Poweramp controls even though it has a persistent notification? That's a real bummer since Google Play Music apparently has Moto Display controls. I guess it's not a huge loss since you'd have to press the power button on every other phone to get to the lockscreen controls anyway.

Yup, just tested with google play music which is what I normally use since it works best with my bluetooth in my car in my experience. It does show in moto display.

Could you test Google Photospheres? And confirm the lack of gyroscope? Use an app like Z device test to display all sensors... because CPUZ shows some 'orientation sensor' .. isn't that a gyroscope?

It has multiple accelerometers for orientation, but no gyroscope. I tested with a sensor tester yesterday and noted it in my main post. Just installed z device test and found the same, there is no gyroscope.
Too bad. Motorola.. seriously?

No it doesn't have panorama function, and by multiple accelerometers I mean I think it has the standard number of axes other phones do for accelerometers, but it works on more than just x and y, though maybe I'm wrong there.

No, the phone does have panorama support with the Motorola camera app. Even the 2015 Moto E has panorama support. The purpose of the dual accelerometers is for the gestures and panorama functionality. They emulate some of a gyroscope's functionality using two accelerometers.
Sorry, it supports panorama, what it doesn't support is photosphere.
Does the Moto G have the active display like the moto x? I mean can I just wave my hand over the phone and it will light up with notifications and such without touching the phone...

The accelerometer should be adequate for a tilt control racing game.
Emulating a gyroscope with the dual accelerometers and magnetometer would be an interesting but challenging task. I'll be busy for the next couple weeks, but I could look into creating a kernel module that does this when I get time. Obviously, it wouldn't be perfect, since we'd be fudging the data of a sensor that isn't actually there, but it should be possible to create a good enough imitation for photo sphere to work.
I just got a Nixon The Mission which has all these sensors but I guess Nixon didn't think to include an app that could make use of all of the data obtained from them.
I can see all the raw sensor data using Aida64, but it's pretty clunky and has a lot of sensor data I don't really care about.
Are there any sensor apps for Wear out there that can present all of this data in a reasonably nice fashion? Thinking of something along the lines of an outdoor app or something that will just show the barometric pressure, altitude, temperature, humidity, compass bearing, etc. all using the onboard sensors (not GPS or internet).
Thanks.
Hi, i've had to handle the same kind of questions when i got the Mission myself. I wish Nixon, for the high price tag of the watch, wouls have developed a fes apps which would take advantage of the sensors, unfortunately they didn't (suckers)!
For altitude i use Altimeter Wear
For Barometer ToolX
Haven't foumd any app that uses the thermoter
Speedometer wear app uses the phone's gps for some reason so u can't track speed without your phone around...
I guess nobody other than us cares as i'm the first to reply...
---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 AM ----------
Oh, BTW, super important, in order to get right measurments, MicLock should stay open otherwise the sensor is locked up and won't be able to work properly, i wish it was clearly explained in the user guide...
I use an app called wrist sensors (a russian app) it reads all sensors.
Best regards Niels

Thanks for the suggestion, liked wrist sensors. I wish it has a better GUI it could be the best app on the market with a proper GUI that use the data recorded.
Just downloaded the app and seems to work well. It would be nice if it had a more user friendly interface but tbh I'm glad someone is finally letting me use the thermometer on my Nixon mission [emoji16]

Finally after a huge search I was able to find a decent application to take advantage of my Nixon Mission sensors.
The application is called "Sensors Master Military" and uses the Barometer, Thermometer and Altimeter of my Nixon, works with a third part application to be able to use the compass.
When Sensors Master Military it is used for the first time you will be invited to install the compass, it's freeware.
This application Sensors Master Military is paid but the amount is quite reduced and it is worth the investment.
The same developer also has the "Mission Temperature" application that only provides the Nixon Mission temperature, the application is freeware.
I hope I have helped!
