Strange sensor behaviour on XperiaSP

Strange sensor behaviour on XperiaSP

Dear Divers,

(My first post, yeah ;) )

Before buying a Dive I tried out the test apps, namely the "DiveUnityDemo" and "Tuscany Dive". I thought it workes well but then I noticed, that i was constantely moving to the left in the game, without moving myself in reality.
I thougt maybe it was a problem with the sensors, but I have already checked them and they don't seem to deliver any abnormal data (Except I was wondering about the 10 m/s² on the Z-axis from the accelerometer, until I remembered good old Newton *facepalm*)
I also resetted all the sensors, but the problem persists.

So, do you have an idea what it can be?

Thanks,

Jack


EDIT: Ok, bit of an update. I did a bit more research and finally found an app, where the problem does not seem to exist. It is called GyroDroid (http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/101279-GyroDroid-2-0-Access-each-and-every-sensor-on-Android-devices-RELASED). There are several test apps and in none of them the drifting problem appears.
So I headed back to some of the apps where the problem occured. Now keeping in mind that there seems to be no hardware problem. And finally I found somethin like a hint, because on this page http://goshowapp.blogspot.de/p/bugs.html the developers describe this problem as an device specific problem. It seems to be quite common in this app (Go show).
I am just wondering whether someone else did also experience this problem?

This is normal. The Dive plugin used for the games and apps have this drift to the left problem.
Stefan said he was working on a fix but no news yet.

I just got myself an XperiaSP. The other day I was playing on my phone and the frequency of swiping the sensor up and down became a lot more frequent. To check this https://rubygarage.org/blog/how-to-build-a-video-conferencing-app and get more new tips for conferencing apps. The first weird thing was that it started at random times when I had not touched the screen at all while still in the game. So I thought, oh well, it might be something with my phone.

[color=#000000][size=2][font=Arial]I bought Xperia SP and when I make a call the screen goes back, so I entered a service #*#73784233*3*, tested the proximity sensor and it was always on, it didn't go off, I don't have any screen protector or a case. I tried also a factory reset, but no luck. So I started to search a piece of information and google my problem and I found the answer at this blog https://sloboda-studio.com/blog/a-full-guide-on-cto-as-a-service-roles-duties-costs, now everything is fine[/font][/size][/color]
