Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could reproduce my problem as I'm pretty sure is a software issue and not a hardware one, I've find some other people in the same situation and I've notified Huawei but I'm still waiting for their response.
The gyroscope is not working properly, not in any VR app in the play store or in google camera when I try to make a photo sphere.
Just open any app that uses the gyroscope and see if it is working at all.
Hope your answer. Thanks in advance.

i'm having this problem since I UPDATED my phone but before the upgrade i could play any 360 video and i could use my VR Headset with my P8 Lite (L21) but after the update (B133) my gyroscope stopped working :/ i hope they fix it because now i can't watch any 360 video :/
There are many video on youtube showing how to calibrate gyroscope. While holding the phone in a certain manner, you must describe with your forearm a 3D 8 in the space slowly. After half a dozen of turns, your gyroscope is calibrate with gravity force.
Cheers
it didn't work
Same problem here, after upgrading the software for ALE-L21C75B0146
Before I was able to watch 360 videos on Youtube by moving the phone.
Now I can't. I have to touch screen.
I am pondering downgrading to V100R001C75B045.

I already tried those apps to calibrate de gyroscope but it isn't working.
Huawei email me back with the usual factory reset crap. That's their brilliant solution.
No gyroscope on p8lite
Or either Huawei P8 lite does not have Gyroscope or they turned it off. I bought mine with the lollipop and does not seem to have gyroscope. Also Huawei p8 lite specification does not list Gyroscope as available sensors which it does in P8's
Around firmware B13X they shut off the the Gyro, though for me it returned with B170 albeit still a bit touchy
i know it does not have a gyro but ahh ... when i had the B130 update i could watch 360 video but with the B133 and B171 update ... i can't :/ my VR headset is useless because of this :/ and this is annoying :/
I bought my p8 lite six days ago and I also have this problem. I tried to make 3D shots with google maps, but it says I don't have gyroscope. This is really annoying. ?
Is there any solution for this problem already????
P8 lite doesn't have a real gyroscope
OK. Maybe it doesn't have a hardware gyroscope and it was solved by a virtual gyro / sensor fusion.
Will it come back with android 6.0?
Is anyone here who know this hardware in depth to check the real built-in sensors? Maybe it's just disabled to make P8 lite weaker in opposite of P8.
Or someone who can make a virtual gyro for it? There's detailed descriptions on the net how to calculate gyro data from accelerometer and magnetic sensor. (But it's a bit tough for me)
For example:
github.com/memsindustrygroup/Open-Source-Sensor-Fusion/wiki/Virtual%20Gyro
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Huawei-P8-lite,Huawei-P8/phones/9358,9127
Under other feuatures you will se that P8 Lite doesnt have gyroscope at all
Hey guys,
Good news. Even though the gyro is not present in P8 Lite, it can be virtualized using the Magnetic Sensor and the Accelerometer. (Senses movement + Direction = A function of a Gyro).
Guys on the HTC Mania managed to figure it out and fix it! So you can watch 360 youtube videos, etc.

(You will need to translate the page though)
Happy days!
great news man, thx for sharing
If you don't want to translate, or just to lazy to check out the site, i'll post the steps here:
You can only do the steps below, if you have a rooted phone, and downloaded THIS file.
Steps:
Download the file, I've linked up above.
Open up a file explorer with root permissions (I recommend Root Explorer)
Copy the downloaded file to this location: /system/etc/permissions
If done, set the permissions to rw-r--r-- (0644)
Click OK, and restart your phone
You're done. However, based on feedbacks on this, and the HTCMania forum, this will only work on Android 6.0.
I'm currently on 5.0.1, and after doing this, the Cardboard icon appeared in Youtube while playing a °360 video, but it wasn't working well. Rotating the phone with large motions made only a very small, and slow reaction on the phone's image itself.
So if somebody tried this with 6.0 please report back with the results, if it's working well, partially or not at all.
Edit:
In the meantime, a factory reset was on schedule, because my phone got very slow, and I updated to 6.0, and enabled the "VR support".
I can say, that it is working, the phone does respond to movement, somewhat like it should with the gyroscope. I think it's a bit delayed, and not as much accurate as the gyroscope would be, but yes, it definitely works, for sure.
The tutorial in original language can be found HERE.
Its working perfect
I have ALE-L21. Currently on version ALE-L21C432B524 Android 6.0.
Just did what advised by @daviddosa in previous post. And now I can watch 360 movies on Youtube and can play VR Games on my mobile.
Thanks for this wonderful trick.
Best Regards!

Hhi daviddosa
Can you explain what you mean by 'enable vr support' ?
@daviddosa ahogy látom te is magyar vagy meg tudnád mondani hogy miért van az hogy amikor belépek a youtuba akkor tudok nézni 360 fokos videót de nem jelenik meg jobb also sarokba a cardboard ikon (fent van a cardboard alkalmazás) szemüvegbe szeretném nézni a videókat de így egész képet ad és nem ketté osztottat :/

Hello, I just bought samsung s5 which have updatet to lollipop, but whatever the barometric sensor is not working right it doesn't matter which application I install all are showing way off, I have atachet photo to compare my samsung with lg d-682.
On lg works fine, but my samsung is showing the pressure for 81Hpa less than it should be and that is huge.
Can someone help me with this, because thi future is kind of important for me, Thanks ,Luka
what nobody knows the problem?

Very interesting,
I don't have another phone to compare with as you, but my local weather conditions days that should read around 1019 hPa, but my phone reads 884 hPa, so it seems off on mine.

and what is you altitude?
I was in a store and there compared to note4 s5 and s4 and all were showing allmost the same hpa with abou 10-20hpa difference. so this should be like that.
exept if you type *#0*# and go to sensor and then to compass section and it says on compass that it need calibration, does anyone know how to do that?
Thanks,Luka

My altitude us 1110 m, screenshot added.
i have installed also lollipop and sudenly none of my sensors are working at all. no proximity, no light, no barometer nothing.. i reinstalled the rom. still not fixed. and i dont know what to do or how to fix it. i tried googling the problem, but it seems noone have anything like it. i am desperate for help
Hi guys, i hope everyone is doing great....this is my first post so if i post this in the wrong section or forum please do advise me or feel free to move it.
Alright i have a Samsung S5 SMG900i Australian one; unfortunately somehow the sensor stopped working what i mean is that gyro fails on screen test , auto rotation not working , neither when i play games that uses tilting , so yeah....phone seems broken, curious thing though is that if i reboot in safe mode and quicmyl get out of it and restar in normal mode, gyro will give readings and start working until it breaks down again within a few minutes; ive reinstalled using lates, old, experimental, nighlys. any room either official or stock still gyro and tilt sensor not working can anyone help me with this? Another thing is i love playing Airplane games now that gyro or tilt sensor is not working i want to see if i can either fox this issue , or i could get an app that draws a stick over the games and simulates the gyro with my movements? What i mean is; if i want to play a airplane simulator but the plane wont move because my phone is broken, anyone knows of an app that can simulate gyroscope or tilt movements with a simple joystick so i could move the planes as if i was moving the phone?.
I count with
S5
Cm13 latest nightly
Xposed
Root apps and adb
Please so helo me either find an app that can simulate gyro with a joystick or any way i could use root or xposed to force the gyroscopic sensor reset?.
Very very thanks in advance and i apologize for my bad english i tried my best to make myself as clear as possible.
Cheers.
Has anyone had problems with the gyroscope in vr applications?
The compass works very slow. And vr applications are not able to move the screen with the movement of the phone.
Any way to calibrate the compass or gyroscope?. Anyone else has happened?

i dont use vr, but a lot gps navigacion,i install gps esencial from play store and its giving me under 20 ft precision mostli al the time, but google maps its get lost a lot, somtimes an error of 1000 to 3000 ft. im thinking is software problem not hardware. other navigators go beter but still get lost somtime. my motorola G first generacion is a crack, never lost.
There is a known issue with the gyroscope being non functional . There is a fix in the latest OTA formware update which came out last night. I've just updated and thingsseem ok.

Make sure you are on the 20161215 firmware release and retest.
Hi,
I bought new Huawei p10 plus flagship with lots of expections but I am frustrating with few issues.
Firstevice is overheating excessively when i connect net or play game.I tried few cooler master type app from appstore but those doesnt work.
Second:I downloaded a lot of call recording app from playstore but none of those works.I hear my sound only.
Third: My front facing camera looks a bit blur to me.Is it for image stabilization?If yes then how to turn it off?
Fourth:When i download any app from playstore each and every app requires permission to access my phone my images and everything and if i click deny none of app run.I feel insecure cause I have to allow every app forcefully
I am tired of these issues and i got no solution from youtube.I would like to mention that I'm running model-VKY-L29 build number VKY-L29C63B151 EMUI version 5.1 Android version 7
Please help me as soon as possible cause I am really tired of each issues.
Try upgrading the firmware, maybe it helps. i have two p10 plus and I have no such issue on any of the devices. if its new it must be under warranty get it replaced.

Hi!
1: It's not overheating, it's normal when you play games that requires a lot hardware acceleration. Also, don't play hard games when charging the phone, then is overheating!
2: It will do the same on EVERY PHONE! Or use a paid call recorder app. You did expect to find a free call recorder app?
3: When starting the front camera, the portrait effect is always ON! Disable it and your pictures will be fine (you have a small icon in the upper side)
4: THIS IS HOW ANDROID IS BUILD! Every app you download it will ask for your permission. It's first time you are using Android??
Conclusion:
- you never had an android phone before (probably you are very young);
- you didn't read the Huawei P10 manual (everything is explained there).
Stop blaming on the phone, is not the phone, it's YOU!
^ exactly what he said
Hi,
I have been using P9 lite (model L31) for the past few months and found that the compass has some issues. Even if I calibrate the compass using figure 8, it does not stick to one point. For example, if I use google maps walking navigation, the map keeps on rotating so much that its hard to find the actual direction. Though the same does not happen in car navigation mode.
I have experienced the same thing in other apps as well. The compass does not stick to one position and it keeps on rotating.
Does anyone experienced this issue?

Even granting location access to the default compass app of the phone does not help. Does anyone has any clue why is it behaving like this?
Same problem on a L21.
Compass used to work fine, but since a few weeks ago it does not point to magnetic N... not even to a point with a certain deviation (if I rotate the phone, the "north" also rotates with it).
My good old N8-00 compass still works fine...
After A LOT of 8 shaped calibrations (with and without GPS enabled), the compass seems to work again...
