Try the calibration of gyroscope

Hi, your gyroscope may not levelled or paralleled along horizontal.
Please try to calibrate it.
Gyroscope calibration is located inside advance setting.
IMO, if your gyroscope is levelled 45 degree along horizontal your quick glance will activated only if your phone is angled 45 degree along horizontal also. BTW, you can use the quick glance while holding it, other user think it will not work but actually their gyroscope is just not levelled along horizontal.
If you think I helped you, please pay it forward.
With any kind of favour,
many times as you like.
Until your spirit bright sparklingly.

Or gyro stabilized camera.
My train of thought might be too naive; (phone has gyroscope, phone has camera, why not!) but really is it something possible to give to our DHDs? A videocamera with which no matter how the phone was rotated, the horizon in the recorded video will always stay horizontal. They got used in MotoGP.
Here's a video example for anyone unfamiliar with them - skip to 40seconds in

Anyone got any idea? Or maybe I should actuallt ask in general android apps.
It wouldnt be impossible but it would take quite a lot of processing power and would take a lot of time to make. And I'm not sure if anybody has that sort of time.
You sure the phone has a gyroscope? Your not confusing it with the accelerometer are you?

And that isn't the correct way to build it either.
Oh ok, thanks a lot. That provided some food for Googling on these things.
Silly marketing got me again; so a g-sensor is actually an accelerometer which is different from a gyroscope and not as accurate at measuring movement (tilt/pitch in specific). DHD has accelerometer only while iPhone 4 and upcoming Sensation are also equipped with a gyroscope (or gyro-sensor).
Does anyone know of a tweak to make my screen turn on automatically when the front camera detects motion in front of it? I have my phone mounted on my wall for home automation tasks and a tweak like what's mentioned here would make me incredibly happy. I've so far not found anything like this. Or maybe it's how I'm wording it. Hopefully you understand and someone can point me in the right direction.
Not really what u looking for. ... but u can turn ur phone on thru proximity sensor e.g tap tap application can help u out

Not exactly what I am looking for, but it will work wonders until I can find exactly what I need. Thank you very much, going to test this app out now!
Greetings,
I was told by a comrade that XDA is the realms for us, mortals, to seek for guidance and enlightenment.
So, I acquired my new LG G3 last night. Everything is flawless and almighty, except for the compass: It won't point to the correct direction. It is always 90 to 180 degree inaccurate. This sure is a big letdown as I depend on navigation features frequently.
I have tried calibrating it with numerous apps like Compass, Bubble Level, 360 Compass, etc etc (basically most of compass-ish device out there) but none of them does any good.
Anyone out there experiencing the same matter? Is it possibly software issue? or maybe hardware issue? Is it fixable?
For additional informations, I include my phone informations here:
Model number: LG-D855
Android version: 4.4.2
Software version: V10h-EUR-XX (updated to the latest version)
I humbly thank you for the help
I take it you have done the mandatory twisting and turning figure of eight movements to put the sensors through their calibrations?
I find it takes a good few minutes before I have an accurate reading.
Decent compass apps I use are 'Field Compass Holo' by Chartcross Limited and 'Compass' by Espengineer.

woaaahh, it works, Sir! It works!
I have previously done the eight movement calibration countless times with different apps but never worked.
Then I attempted with the apps you suggested, and voila..!! Compass works perfectly now!
Please accept my humble gratefulness, Sir. I bow before you. Thank you

No problem... Pleased you got it sorted.
I have the same problem with my LG G3, do you mind going into more detail about how you fixed the compass?
So, I found this feature by mistake and I have been looking for something about it on the Web and can't find anyone talking about it.
After the Marshmallow update (coincidence or not, someone tell me) I have been able to dim the screen manually whenever I want by covering the whole of the watch screen! It's an amazing feature and doesn't require any proximity sensor or whatever.
Is this really new or am I telling you something so "known" that I should hide myself? :angel:
Nevertheless, I felt I should open this thread so that anyone who didn't know it until now, like me, gets to know this amazing feature.
And who already knew, how did huawei manage to do this? The screen must support multi-touch so that it feels several fingers covering the whole screen huh? I've made some tests and it is actually really really accurate.
Try it for yourself :highfive:
This feature worked for me from day one on Huawei, even before the new Marshmallow update.
Cool feature, but been there previously...

Yeah, it's been around for awhile. I guess you didn't go through the introductory demo. I believe the feature has been around since the beginning. I remember seeing it on my old Moto 360 1.0.
On mine it doesn't work? Does it have something to do with the fact that the watch is connected with the iPhone?
Sorry to rain on your parade but as I recall, that was right in the intro tutorial!
Is there a setting to turn this off and on? I can't seem to get this to work. My watch is paired with a Nexus 6.
this feature will work when you have ambient sensor like the 360

This feature uses multiple touch points and does not need an extra sensor. It worked on the Huawei from day one.
Got it to work! Thanks for the insight.
It has been like that before MM.
Lol got all exited

You have to get your whole palm touching the touchscreen. Push it against the screen, don't just lightly cover your watch.

i tried by touching whole of my palm into the screen, then it vibrate and the screen is off.
is it work like that ? it's just go into standbye mode, not decreasing the brightness

Weird, maybe it is your watchface. I've tried this with pujie black, go to launcher(menu) and covered the screen.
Watch went to standby, lower brightness, exactly as if it just timed out by itself.

i tried to set always ON = ON, and covered the screen with my palm..
then the screen goes to standbye mode with dim watchface as seems like when the screen time out..
but when setting always On=Off, the screen goes off when covered with my palm. like this ?
hendry yes it supposed to behave like this
I'm pretty sure this function was in the tutorial before marshmallow even.
Is anyone else's 5t pretty sensitive and auto rotates at times you don't want it to just by a small movement?
So this is still driving me crazy, small movements continue to make the screen auto-rotate when trying to do something. Is there any way to calibrate the accelerometer?
Any answer for this?

this was allways an issue to me on all oneplus devices. Theycan fix this problem by simply raising the rotation trigger treshold. but i guess there are not venough complains. it should be possible with root too but i dont know exactly what file/line to modify.
Yep, I have locked mine to portrait mode which seems to be fine for me 90% of the time for me. I do hope they fix this though..

+100 but unfortunately seems most of the people (including oneplus) don't care.
Yep. I had a thread on this when it first came out.
I wish I could find an app that worked well enough to let me just pick and choose what I want to auto-rotate, but they all are a little flaky.
I've locked it to portrait. This is an OOS issue or all ROMs? Haven't dabbled with any custom ROMs yet, but if it can't fix this annoying issue, I'm all for it.
Had this on all the Nexus ROMs as well....always on portrait does it for me.
Just saw this in the articles section.

Could be worth a try.
