Accelerometer problem

---

I'm having problems with my GN accelerometer. No matter what game I play the accelerometer is all over the place. For instance if I play a car racing game the car will pull to the left and just stay there. Moving my phone to the right doesn't do anything. The car just goes round and round in circles.

Have a I got a dodgy accelerometer or Is there a way I can reset the accelerometer?

Well on mine I noticed that with the recently 10c Asphalt HD, the accelerometer steering doesn't work. Basically though the game is in landscape, the accelerometer is in portrait and you have to hold the phone in portrait position to drive straight.

I was assuming it was just a software issue, perhaps an incompatibility with the game.

Ah yes, I was also playing asphalt, seems like it's working in portrait and not landscape. NFL rivals also has the problem.

That's a weird problem.

on top of that, it was working for me the first few days i had it. then a few times it was working after a restart. now the restart doesnt help either.

I noticed the same issue in gta:III. It just pulls to the left.

I downloaded an accelerometer app and everything seemed normal.

Must be a software/compatibility issue.

Works fine in Snowboard game too.

Same issue with same games on the htc flyer runing honeycomb, too.

Any solutions?

Asphalt 6 does not work with accelerometer on Galaxy Nexus. Known issue.

i think its an app issue rather than the gnex.

for me, the problem is only in asphalt but its a known app issue.

gta 3 works fine for me. and also a lot of other games and apps

so i believe the apps need to be updated for ics/gnex support

Same here

I have the same problem, I have the nexus 10, and the accelerometer works randomly turning to the right (I think)
The GPS status app says that the accelerometer goes to D15 or more. But after a little stabilizes, but when I try to take a photosphere the grid on the floor starts to turn to the right and then I cannot take a photosphere...

I've already tried to calibrate but I don't see a change...

Do I have a broken accelerometer?
Note: the tablet works fine changing from portrait mode to landscape and vice-versa
