iPhone 5s accelerometer/gyroscope/compass values incorrect

[gs28]

Waiting for the iPad Air hands-on videos to see if someone from the press will check the level/compass.

I can assure you it will have the same accelerometer since it has the m7.

yeah. true.

No talk about 7.1... A little disappointing. Hopefully we'll see 7.0.3 soon.

i hope it will be fixed soon. and its a software problem.

I think they should nickname the 5S the "boomerang Iphone". Apple ship it out and back it goes.

Having given up with the 5s for the time being - an "incredible" disappointment in Apple speak, I'm going to try again with the Ipad Air, but with the M7 setup, I hope it doesn't also become the "Ipad boomerang".

7.0.3 is released. i hope it has some fix for this.

Apple has released a major iOS bug fix update called iOS 7.0.3, bringing iCloud Keychain, improved password management in Safari, the delay of the Slide to Unlock text on the Lock screen for Touch ID devices, iMessage fixes, and fixes for sensor calibration issues.


COME ON update some one pelase.

Cheers

Yup, "fixes an accelerometer calibration issue"

 

[skwood]

Looks like my apple senior advisor wasn't lying to me after all

 

[schizbomb]

I have 7.0.3 and all my stuff is fixed hooooray

 

[ross1998]

Looks like it's not available ota yet...

 

[richard371]

Can anyone confirm it's fixed. In don't have wifi until later.

 

[schizbomb]

Looks like it's not available ota yet...

it definitely is

 

[jpcarro]

Fixed!!! All three axis reporting 0°

When set on landscape right edge, reported -1°, then a split second later it snapped to 0° and screen went green.

I did an iTunes update. OTA rollout may not hit you til later.

 

[cwosigns]

it definitely is

Not for everyone. It isn't showing up for me yet.

7.0.3

Well mine has gone from -6 on its back to 0

 

[highlightshadow]

Just done 7.0.3 OTA and its fixed my gyro issues.... so i'm pretty happy

 

[tylerwatt12]

OTA wouldn't work, had to use iTunes. Currently downloading it.

Fixed!!! All three axis reporting 0°

Yes, mine is showing 0 on all three axis as well. It was one degree off on the short edge and when flat.

I suspect our phones had the calibration data on them all along but an iOS 7 bug meant it was either being ignored or read incorrectly.

Still begs the question why the solution was not very well disseminated within Apple support. Online support said it was a hardware issue so I needed a replacement...

 

[Bazooka-joe]

Yahoo, thats great news. I shall take friday off and pick up a new 5s.

 

[gCloud]

0, 0 and 0

its not a botch uncalibrated 3rd party apps also read 0 and 90 as they should

 

[jucarbon]

Fixed

0,0,0

 

[InAustralia]

Fixed - all good now.

Since it was a software bug, how come some iPhones were reporting correct values?

Anyway, glad it is fixed!

 

[ljdonato]

Yes, so happy!! Downloading now.

Quick question: after downloading, should I check my bearings on a perfectly leveled surface? I mean, I know if I don't I wont get 0, 0, 0, but I am curious about the calibration.

So, for my device to calibrate correctly, should my first measure be on a perfectly leveled table?

 

[cwosigns]

0,0,0

But all of the armchair engineers said it was a HARDWARE issue.
