[Q] Does the Verizon ICS update enable the gyroscope/barometer?

---

The Engadget teardown of the Droid RAZR says it has an STMicroelectronics L3G4200D gyroscope and a Bosch Sensortec BMP180 barometer, yet the Gingerbread build it shipped with didn't seem to activate either. Has anyone with any of the leaked or soak test ICS updates seen them enabled yet?

this is AWSOME! there are some nice apps on market... oh yea, "play" (rolleyes) that need barometer to function. i have been dreaming this would be on my next phone, how nice it would be if we could get this activated. fm radio too...

bump. has anyone investigated? i'm GSM so all i can do now is ask...

they dont appear to be working in androidsensor

ah i just found androsensor myself in market/play. it's naturally not working in 2.3.6

apparently as OP stated there is also support for FM and I read in the bypass kexec thread that the hardware is there...now we only need someone to activate it

here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=313

maybe then someone could enable the gyroscope

there is barograph app too, try that one?

barograph doesnt work in ICS either, says that my device doesnt support barometer. I don't think these chips are in here, fM included. i know that one or two sites say it is, but many more say its not.

I just checked elixir app and those sensors are disabled in ICS too.
