Question by biellls · Feb 16, 2015 at 01:40 PM · androidgyroscopegyro

Strange android gyrometer attitude angles

I would my device's Input.gyro.attitude.eulerAngle.z to be 0 when my device is neutral (in landscape and perpendicular to the floor with the home button on the left). However, in order for that to happen I currently need to tilt my device approximately 45 degrees.

When my device is in landscape and perpendicular to the floor I get the following values:

 Input.gyro.attitude: x= 3428003428, y=0.1189629, z=0.1253325, w=-0.6925746
 Input.gyro.attitude.eulerAngles: x=70.09518 y=268.4407 z=267.9167

My device is a Nexus 5

What happens if you hold your device at a different angle when you start your app?

You may need to recalibrate it. If its not in the options you can do this with a separate app.

Ah. I see. Do an actual build and check the values on the device that way, outputting them to OnGUI.

Don't rely on Unity Remote when things look wrong.

@ryo0ka I don't have enough permissions to reply as comment, but if I recall correctly I just stopped using Unity remote like @meat5000 recommended and built it on my phone (Nexus 5) where it worked correctly.
