LG Optimus S accelerometer accuracy always 0

Does anybody own an LG Optimus S and seen a value for Sensor.accuracy that wasn't 0 (Sensor.SENSOR_STATUS_UNRELIABLE)? We apparently need to test accuracy of the sensor events we are getting, but on my phone the accuracy is always 0 and wanted to see if it was a phone wide issue or if mine is busted or something.

Thanks.

Solution

  • If you look to part lists of your phone, you will find that accelerometers built in are far away from reliable - so there is always a lot of noise and little accuracy. Chips used in HTC Hero provide deliver 8 bit value for +/- 8G (hope this helps, even it is not LG specific)
