Androids with gyros

[merg]

My bad, no gyro on the Droid X2.

 

[BlueCarbon]

Is there a list of Android games and apps that support the gyroscope?

Is there a list of Android games and apps that support the gyroscope?

Not that I know of and I wish things like Google Sky did.

 

[zuben el genub]

Other astronomy apps seem to. Regardless of what I did, Google Sky insisted I was in the Southern Hemisphere.
I've been using SkEye.
Sky Safari uses the gyro. I think Mobile Observatory might, too. I was told to wave the phone in a figure 8 pattern to reset a location problem.

 

[EarlyMon]

Figure eights are strictly for magnetic compass calibration, typically only when in that mode. I've seen it enhance GPS accuracy a bit, but I've never heard of it curing hemisphere hopping nor something that you do on the fly. GPS Status and Compass by Catch both seem to have acceptable compass calibrations.

Samsung Galaxy S III has a gyro.

 

[StrgAltEntf]

You could add the Samsung Galaxy Tab devices with gyro:
10.1 (N), 8.9, 7.7, 7.0 Plus (N)

Without Gyro:
Tab 2 (10.1), Tab 2 (7.0)

HTC One X (Tegra 3 version)

It says I have a Panasonic Gyroscope Sensor, looking at Quick System Info there is quite a lot of Panasonic stuff in my phone.

 

[TrueNorthist]

I am all but certain that the Galaxy Note LTE has a gyro. i717D model.

 

[PeterRRadkov]

Hi all,
I have a game on the market:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.PeterRadkov
which requires giroscope. The google development console tells me there are 502 devices currently which support it, and I can see a list.

Interesting - my Nexus 7 (8 GB model) reports that it has an "MPL Gyroscope" - not sure if that is the same as an "Invensense MPU-6050".

 

[jjbunn]

The Samsung Captivate Glide i927 has a gyroscope.

(I know this because I have one, and am programming an app that uses it.)
