gyroscope

[Gilvanio]

The problem of my device ( xz2p) is exactly what the video below describes:

Is there a way to solve this????

What is the problem? A video link to some foreign county's video doesn't tell me.

When I put my device on a desk, for example, the gyroscope goes crazy like the video suggests; try to watch the video and you will understand what I´m trying to tell you.

I watched video and have no idea what's going on. 

Based on what you said though. Have you tested the Gyro?

To to settings->support->Xperia tests->sensors->gyroscope and see if it can pass. If it doesn't you might need to do a software repair via the Xperia companion app (on a computer) 

[Gilvanio]

yes, I`ve already tested and the software repair didn´t work...I gave up...I´m selling the phone ....I will try the xz3 ...rs

I still have no idea what gyroscope issue that video shows tbh.

I know what he means:

The gyroscope sensor in the phone is very sensitive, meaning it detects the slightest amount of tilting and changes from portrait to landscape mode or vice versa.

This results in annoying rotation of the screen even when it's not wanted, e.g. just by laying down the phone on the desk it may switch from portrait to landscape.

I found this annoying in the beginning too, however the sensitivity of the sensor has been reduced with updates, now I don't encounter this issue anymore.

I'd advise Gilvanio to look for the latest firmware update and see if it fixes the oversensitivity.

AHH, thanks.

I thought that it was something to do with brightness looking at that video.

Thank you, I tried to explain but my English is not good. I updated my phone but the problem still exists.

I have the XZ3 and the problem is gone much better than it was before with software version 52.0.A.3.126.

You have the XZ2P, which software version is it currently?
