I was thinking to try cardboard on motor now.
People who don't know about google cardboard project

Before trying I was thinking if someone of you has already tried it, if yes can you tell which one, from where you bought and share your experiences
Cardboard requires a gyro sensor to function properly, which the Moto E does not have. (1st gen Moto G 3G is also missing a gyro and also cannot be used with Cardboard.)

Moto E has a gyro senser, every Android phone has it. How else would you use auto rotate on your phone or play any racing game.
Moto E has accelerometer, not gyroscope There's a difference between the two. The games you mentioned worked with accelerometer and not gyroscope.

Why does the new moto E has moto display and twist gesture to open camera and we havent? We have gyroscope, and I believe neither our moto g and new moto e havent moto X's special core...
Anyone knows the difference?

You can use snapshot app, if you like that feature

That's a bummer, the Moto X Play doesn't have a gyroscope, nor does it have a pressure sensor (barometer). Those two sensors are usually included in the lowest priced phone. I guess, it will mean no PhotoSphere and CardBoard for us.

I can live without Barometer as I can check the data of my location using internet and apps. But the lack of gyro sensor is a big NO for me. I was down for this phone and I overlooked Snap 615 because of the monster battery. It's a shame that you wouldn't be able to click photospheres with this awesome sony 21mp sensor. There was a tweet from motorola that gyro could be there in hardware but it may be disabled. So we will really know for sure after Moto X play teardown. If this has gyro then it can be enabled with some coding. Moto X style on the other hand has IR sensors, gyro etc. But Moto X style battery is not gonna be great. Looks like I might have to wait 1 more year to upgrade my phone.

You can still use cardboard, but not able to rotate the screen with the phone.
I mostly use the cardboard for movies and computer games, I don't miss or notice the lack of gyro.

No there is no option for google cardboard installation on google play for this phone
I just returned my Homido VR box back to the store.Tried it with my old moto g 4g (gyroscope) and with the moto x play and it totally sucked.You can only play some simple demo games with the graphics of a playstation 1.The most anoying thing is that you will spend most of the time putting your phone in and out of VR box to control simple things.Most apps dont support a controller yet and are frustrating to use. I realized i dont mis anything with VR on android and decided to wait a few years.
Hello,
I am considering buying moto g4 plus, but some reviews mentioned the phone doesn't sport that many sensors (including magnetometer). Could someone post a screenshot of sensors list using cpu-z app on the phone?
TIA
This what you're looking for?
Yeah! this is what i needed. Thanks!
so there really isnt any compass on this device though there are many other sensors
Buy this phone if u want a 1990 pc with great features! Instructions are simple, keep it under AC...

Motorola Moto G4 Plus Sensors
The previous takes out the requirement for a warning LED as it demonstrates to you the time and a sneak peak of your notices opening the telephone, the minute you move it. There is an LED to one side of the unique finger impression sensor, however we just saw it when it quickly lit up while charging the telephone. Moto Actions gives you a chance to trigger different movement based motions, which all work as promoted. There aren't any preloaded applications other than a record supervisor and the standard suite of Google applications.
Hello
I have a little question about Moto X style. I will buy this phone soon, but i need gyroscope for cardoard VR. Can you check for me whether it has gyro and if it works well with google cardboard apps?
Thank you in advance.
Moto X works fine with Cardboard, it has a InvenSense ICM20645 Gyroscope sensor.
Hey
My dad has a Sony RX100 iii and his G5 plus will not receive pictures from his camera using the Play Memories app.
Android Pay works, so doesn't seem like a phone NFC issue.
Anyone else had this problem?
Hi,
I don't have this problem, as I don't have a RX100.
However, I detected a very low range NFC in this mobile (see my post about it):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/help/nfc-low-range-t3607724
From my experience the problem is that you need to approach very close to the HFC chip (or antena)... and if this Sony camera has also a limited NFC range then is imposible to communicate.
Try to search where is the NFC chip/antenna of the RX100 and aproximate it to the top of the mobile, in the back and in the center.
NFC is just above the camera..Tried it all...it works with other phones but not G5+
same here, G5 plus and Sony WX500. I didn't learn how to make it work. Out of 20 attempts I heard the Moto NFC failure notification only once. The low range explanation makes sense.
I had the same issue with different (SONY)camera model. Neither the Play Memories nor the camera worked with NFC.
Does G5 PLus has NFC to begin with?
Yes...use it every day
