This is the biggest motivation on my side to buy Vibrant to be frank. I am a casual developer and would like to write some acc+gyro related application on my own phone.
As far as I know, Vibrant has 6 axis motion sensor, which should be 3 axis acc + 3 axis Gyro if I didn't misunderstand it. However, I can not get any information from internet about what's the model the sensor is, and I'm not sure if this sensor is of exact function as acc+gyro. So if anybody happened to know such kind of information, please share it, my purchase decision would be definitely based on this.
Thanks!
If I remember correctly it is actually a 6-axis accelerometer. It gives you angular acceleration instead of angular velocity, which has it's goods and it's bads.
Thanks Lutin
I'm not sure if it's Gyro or not. There are two posts can be referred

Based on what I saw, I guess most people are still confused about its type. This is why I was wondering if anybody knows the actual model by chance
There's no gyroscope in Vibrant, Captivate, Fascinate, Epic,...
just triaxial accelerometer from Bosch and triaxial geomagnetic sensor from Yamaha
Exactly the same sensor set with Galaxy S UK and Asian version.
Are you sure? This is totally different from what them claimed. They said they have something other than just digital compass

100%, sir.
I own both Galaxy S UK and Vibrant
I used some different software and *#*#0*#*#* code to check on both devices. I'm not surprised to realize that there's no gyroscope.
But the Yamaha geomagnetic is superior to almost every smart phones on the market right now (bi-axis). It's a tri-axis sensor.
I suppose that the combination of tri-axis geomagnetic sensor and tri-axis acceleration sensor will be equal to gyros + accele in iphone 4
Sorry for my English.

thanks man, you saved me a lot of time!
I played with one Vibrant today and yeah, it's magnetic sensor. But it performs basically the same as Gyro, just will be affected by the metal thing.
I have no idea how good it would be in real use and I am still thinking if I should give it a shot.
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.
Just curious, as the results are quite OK. IMX298? Or an OmniVision sensor? Or god forbid, the Redmi Note 3's S5K3P3 sensor with 1um pixels?
Anyone who has the phone can check through AIDA64. Thanks in advance!
hi do anyone have a legit information on what sensor the 16mp variant use? I got a mixed response on utube with ppl commenting sony and omnivision left and right .i tried to check it myself by installing aida64 but funnily enough it didnt show since the phone sysinfo is locked. can anyone who has already rooted the phone verify the sensor thru aida64 or similar apps? tyvm
Hello
A problem with custom ROMs on S8 phones
Problem with iris not working
And the heart rate sensor is not working
Of course, except for one ROM
But I like to experience Android 11 or at best 12
What are the solutions to the problem of heart rate sensor?
Has anyone made an effort in this regard !?
