Gyroscope on XA1 ultra

[Mike91]

I was l happy owner of the xa ultra going in my shop Bouygues near my home I see the xa 1 ultra that I bought on the field with its additional function to the xa as the only gyroscope thing that misses xa out I go home Put my helmet vr and the l anguish nothing works I run a search on an application that checks the internal function of the phone and the no gyroscope good ennerver I launch snap chat and the camera selfie starts to vibrate a buck Terrible with a blurred vision I bring it back to Bouygues and all the seller supports me his gyroscope but can not exchange my phone because it is out of stock of course I bothered to resell my xa in the stride xa1. I can not get out of the box because a reyure and it picks me up again, and without phone until new order thank you the service Bouygues and thanks to Sony for having confused between the accelerometer and the gyroscope of the shot I have a real phone Mèrde as YouTubeurs I reserve them a small video very nice to both hà yes and Bouygues is not even able to change to another phone the phone had two hours

Hi @Mike91,

It seems that your message has been translated by a moderator (unfortunately we have to keep the board in English), but I can confirm that Xperia XA1 Ultra does not have a Gyroscope, it does however feature an Accelerometer.

I did not quite understand how I may assist you, can you please clarify so that I may do my best to assist you?

Let me know!

1) Does the Xperia XA1 have a digital compass?

2) Do you need to have all 3, ie Gyroscope, Accelerometer and digital compass for a navigation software to work on the Ultra relying on GPS alone ie without A-GPS

I think that is not acceptable without gyroscope. I can't use this 6 inch phone screen without VR on YouTube and Google map navigation , always pointing to wrong directions. Please do  workaround at least making the Google map navigation more accurate while driving.

I agree... No gyro on a smart phone in 2017 is pathetic especially when you have a 32 megapixel camera and another 12mp one just to take pictures of yourself. Why? Now my VR headset is absolutely useless. Because Sony didn't want to shell out the extra pennies to take one off the shelf and throw it in.

Well, when I wanted to see a 360 photo on facebook I saw that the photo didn't move, I saw in the sony page that this mobiles has Gyroscope, but I can't detect it, I don't know why... If anyone can help me with this, please.

Can you link where you read this info? As far as I know XA1 Ultra does not have a gyroscope sensor.

Oh my god this is not good. If it doesn't have a Gyroscope then what was I thinking when I bought this phone?...It's so basic, it needs a freaking Gyroscope.
