Huge problem with gyroscope, please help. - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

As title.
Since many days my gyroscope is going mad.
If I leave the phone motionless, on a table for example, the gyroscope does not remain stationary, it moves.
I tryed the free app from the market GyroRotate, I leave the phone on the table, and the cube moves by itself. This make games like battlefield unplayable.
I'm experiencing this problem since some days, why?
I have the stock rom. Are you experiencing the same problem?
Can you try the GyroRotate app please and tell me if your cube moves if you leave the phone on the table?
Thanks.

Tested with that App and mine is fine. Have you tried the figure 8 movement to reset the gyro?

Mine also works as expected.

Thanks to all. Now is fine here also.
A battery pull solved the problem.
Neither a reboot solved before the battery pull.

My phone takes 4-5 seconds to switch from landscape and portrait and I am having the same issue with games from time to time. I am still incredibly surprised and annoyed that they did not include a "calibration" option in settings.

Mine still has roughly a 2 second lag when rotating. Today when playing a game that you can rotate to landscape on either side it keeps flipping itself as though I'm holding the phone upside down...argh...so frustrating.
I tried the figure 8 now and if that doesn't help then I did a battery pull
I tried to find the GyroRotate app but it doesn't exist on the android market.
Still having issues.

I have the same problem I wonder if the games are messed up, because the app "gyroscope rotate" works fine.
But Brothers in arms 2 (free app) it's moving to the right by itself.
Can someone else try this game?
Also Asphalt 6 is messed up too.

pull out the battery and start the game when the phone is on the table.

pull battery didn't help..

same problem here, tried battery pull with phone turned off and then turned on, but still neither worked. Don't understand what "8 movement" people are talking about. Is any way I can solve this problem ??? I want to use google cardboard on my galaxy s4 but it goes to one side alone slowly -.-

Goggle Cardboard problem
Hi, I have the same problem with realy slowly movement of sreen in Google Cardboard app. I have tested my gyroscope with other app and it is very accurate. Any suggestions how to fix it

Same problem with Samsung Galaxy S3, after shaking the phone the movement changes direction for a while. This problem is really visible in virtual reality apps. What can be done to fix this? Any help is really appreciated!

Same problem here with the galaxy note 3. The cardboard app is impossible to enjoy and also photospheres are moving left by their own. Could it be an hardware problem? Has anyone found a fix?

Here is the solution that worked for my Samsung Galaxy S4:
1. Open Phone app
2. Tap on Kepad tab
3. Type *#0*#
4. Tap on Sensor
5. Put your phone on a flat surface
6. Tap on Gyro selftest button
7. After the PASS message, tap the back button until you exit on the homescreen.
That's it! Hope this helps you guys.

[Q] Modern Combat 4 minimizes instantly

So I installed Game Killer recently onto my rooted Nexus 7 and I decided I would try to give myself a bottomless clip on MC4. Now, despite the fact the app was working just fine before the root, it immediately minimizes when I start up now. I click the app and a black screen opens for a couple of milliseconds before the game minimizes back down. I can still see it in the running apps menu but if I try to open it from there it just does the same thing again and again. I've already tried the basic solutions like reinstalling and rebooting my device but that's pretty much all my options.
I know that it's not a crash, seeing as the app is still running. It just doesn't maximize correctly and I can't actually view the game. With that, I've exhausted all my options because I'm not getting any feedback about the error and I can't look at a crash report because it hasn't crashed. I can't find anyone else with this problem either.

laggyness with certain apps

I've had the zenwatch for almost 2 weeks and i will be keeping it. That being said here is a heads up, i found that using the app facer to make watch faces and using wear mini launcher together causes a good bit of lag when performing any action on the watch. to remedy this issue i downlaoded watch maker and low behold the lag went away. so if anyone is haven a lag issue check into what apps you are use to make your watch faces and also what launcher u have choosen. hope you guys find this helpfull .
So, did you uninstall wear mini launcher ?

no i switched to watch maker it works better with min launcher
I've actually had this happen a number of times and I'm not sure why. It doesn't seem to have a consistent cause. Usually it'll be when I install a new app or something, but it's happened other times as well, but it doesn't happen consistently with one app or another. For me, the lag shows up as the screen basically being frozen without being able to control anything. Eventually, it will unfreeze and I'll usually see the mini-launcher screen, but even a restart with the back button won't solve the freeze.
For me, it was worse when I had Mini Launcher installed, but it still happens occasionally without it. I no longer have either Facer or Watchmaker installed, either. I'm using the Weather Watch Face, though. I wonder if it has something to do with watch faces in general?
When I was using Mini Launcher, apps would almost never launch the first time I tapped on them. It would go back to the watch face and freeze for a few seconds, and force me to go back to Mini Launch and tap again. Without Mini Launcher, this still happens occasionally from the built-in Start... item, but much less frequently.
I have all 3 installed and it doesn't seem to lag too bad. I guess I don't interact with it the same as I would with a phone so it doesn't bother me at all. Whenever I get a card it interacts with it seamlessly, that's about as much as I need it to do

Interacting with cards hasn't been a problem for me, either, it's launching an app that's not already running that seems to be the issue. Sometimes (or almost every time for me with Mini Launcher), the new app doesn't come to the foreground, and the watch appears to hang for several seconds. It then has to be launched a second time to become visible.
I've definitely seen it lag like that. Hopefully it's just a software issue with android wear being so new and updates will help fix that. It's got plenty of processor and ram torrun the tiny apps no problem
I noticed a considerable amount of lag while using mini launcher. To the point that I didn't even want to show off the watch to other people because it made it seem terrible. Major difference since uninstalling, lag free now. I also use Watch Maker and a few Play Store watchfaces with no lag issues.
Wish we could move the start menu to the first selection on the tap screen instead of the last, then I really wouldn't care about a separate launcher.
1+ for deleting mini launcher. I like the app but its so dam laggy. As far as Watch Maker app works at times for me so I deleted that as well. I was using Facer until I ran into Intellicom which seems to be very easy to use and no change in my battery life.
I think this is more of a symptom of using a single core A7 processor. I imagine all of the governors and IO schedules are set up for battery life so that probably doesn't help either. It might just be coincidence that you are running something while a background task is also running.

[Q] how to calibrate accelerometer

Just got the 16GB 8.4 tablet and I really like it... BUT...
The accelerometer is off about 7degrees (checked bubble level app) on the horizontal.
Sure, it's a minor problem. It only shows up when using google sky or playing a game. But, it should be easy to fix and the fact that I cannot find a way to fix it is damned annoying!
So, does anybody know of a way to calibrate the accelerometer and KEEP the claibration accross all apps?
The bubble level app does have a calibration mode but it only works within the app.

Problem with G sensor when gaming

I have the Tab Pro 8.4 and have been playing GT Racing 2. The problem is the game has an option to steer the cars by tilting the Tab from left to right and when I try to do this the car spins in a circle. I've figured out that while the game is played in landscape the gyro is still registering as it was in portrait. I have tried turning the auto rotate off and forcing the Tab into landscape but it didn't help. There are no options within the game that would allow me to calibrate. I installed the game on my HTC One (M7) and it works properly. I have to believe this is a problem with the Tab and not the game itself.
Anyone else experience anything like this and or does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Edit.
My Tab is completely stock and not rooted at this time.
