Is anyone else having problems with photosphere not working? It won't get past the calibration part.

I have this same issue... And I am wondering if it's a bug or we are just doing something wrong? Mine didn't work completely stock and now it's not working on PA.

Any updates on this issue?

It is really strange, it seems like a hardware issue but when I do the testing either gaming o with Z-device test app everything is working just like my Nexus 4 :S.

Alright I guess I'm taking mine back and asking for a replacement.

Edit: Here's a screenshot

Seems to be on the same angle as the OP's

According to the sticker on the box, mine was manufactured China 2013.07

Just wondering, particularly if photo sphere isn't working on your nexus 7 2013, if you install AccelermoterTest does the ball move to the bottom left corner - even when the device is on flat ground? Mine does... maybe hardware fault?
