24 degrees off bug
 
Yes. Gsensor is off by 24 degrees. Korea factory floor fail. Now we just need a calibratioool. I cant find one, I searched and searched. I confirmed its a bug cuz over at xda there is some chatter about it and I checked 4 epics and they are all off by 24. So does anyone have a calibration tool?

Are you talking about the accelerometer or the digital compass?

Sorry. Accelerometer I meant. And we do have a digital compass.Freaking nice phone huh? What a change from htc crapola. And our gpu works too. Lol. Poor saps over at tbe Evo threads. They got stuck yet with another under performing device. I came across a 3d game over at the market and some comments were like "does this run on all android phones?" And most replies were like... "yeah, just not the Evo." Lololol

I'm not doubting this but could you provide a step by step to show that it is 24deg off?

Ok. Heres the steps. Even a llama can do it so dont worry.

Step 1:
Dial on your phonepad *#0*#

Step 2:
Tap on the SENSOR tab.

Step 3:
Look at the very top where it says ACCELEROMETER and look at the "x" number. If you hold the phone perfectly vertically, you will see that it will display ( X: -24). That should be ZERO. (0)

I confirmed it with 5 Epics already. Also you'll notice it with games that use the gsensor.

I tested it and mine seems fine..what I do notice is it calculates in increments of 24 degrees...my guess is when you are testing its slanted enough for it to round to -24 rather then 0.
