wacky accelerometer on behold 2. calibrate?

[HadouGhost]

so i tried some apps that use it, like my game armageddon squadron, and it pulls heavily to the right. so i got pissed off at my phone and exchanged it for another, and it still pulls to the right. so im thinking it must be the game. nope. 4 other accelerometer games all pull to the right.

how could i calibrate the sensor?

oh COME on! seriously? all the smart minds on here cant even give a hint of a response? seriously, i cant be the only one on here or the only one that owns a behold II that has this problem.

Sorry - my smartness on these matters is debatable, and I don't have any experience with that problem, b/c I don't play any games on my phone (other than sudoku - yeah, I know, whatever). The accelerometer does seem sluggish to me, but coming from a blackberry my opinion is pretty uninformed.

I got a free level tool, and it has calibration setting, but I never really played with them or the app.

I have found this for you to try.

Hold the phone with the screen facing up and move the phone in a figure 8 five times. Then holding the phone with the screen facing your belly make five more figure eights.

It was also suggested light tapping on the axis (right/left, top/button) will calibrate. Also suggested is a factory reset.

not to sound like an idiot but..lol how do you make figure 8's? haha

Just make sure you don't do it in public, people may look at you strangely.

move your hand as if you were writing the number 8 in the air.
