Xperia P Accelerometer problem

Hello people,

I just recently got Xperia P and found out that my accelerometer (or some meter thingy) isn't correct. Placed on a flat surface (even the floor) and my temple run is still tilted to the right. Was wondering if anyone experience this?

Got mine yestday. Same problem. In GTA 3, the car always turns to left. So had to turn off accelerometer in the game.

X = -0.7  Slightly_frowning_Face

Have to try other games.

I've contacted sony and they told me that it should have a +-5% of error. Not helpful at all.. Now i am having difficulty playing Temple Run Slightly_frowning_Face

Hi,

I'm really worried about it.

My test screen has no numbers!

Just de letters X:, Y:, Z: without any result.

Is my accelerometer broken?

My Xperia P has just 2 weeks!
