Gyroscope and double tap to wake

Hello zenfone users,
Today my sister's zenfone 2 laser arrived (ze550kl) and I have two questions:
The specification says that it has gyro but it's not working in youtube or Google camera ;\ cpuz shows "orientation sensor" that works like gyroscope because it shows angle of the device. What do you think? Is this real gyroscope that we will be able to use after modding?
My second question is about double tap to wake. I enabled it in settings but it's not working at all. In one shop that had zenfone laser on display it was working flawlessly. Is this hardware issue? It hasn't got any protector on screen. In fact all of the off screen shortcuts are not working.

Edit
OK sorry I'm stupid xD Doble tap works. I was trying it using this plastic cover that it comes with so proximity sensor thought that something is in front of it so tap wasn't working sorry.
My phone is ze 500 kl that's why it doesn't have gyro xd

I'm interested in knowing about gyroscope also, I'm planning to buy a ze601kl but if no gyro it's a no go for me...

Did you try with z-devicetest or similar sensors app to see if it works there?

Well I checked cpu-z on my friends moto g 2gen that has real gyro and it has both gyroscope and orientation sensor on the list. Both were showing angle of the phone but orientation in degrees and gyro in radians so that's strange. http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/general/specs-asus-zenfone-2-laser-t3242377 this says that it has gyro but for example google camera/youtube 360 can't see it.

allright I found info here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/sensors/sensors_position.html
Orientation sensor is not a gyro! It works similar but it uses geomagnetic field sensor in combination with a device's accelerometer.

EDIT
ok again I'm stupid it's ze500kl not ze550kl xdd sorry
Plz mod delete this useless thread :D
