2. Type in the following: *#0*#
3. Click on the box labeled Sensors
You should now see the screen below:
To test Accelerometer or Gyroscope:
Most smartphones today have a built-in Gyroscope and Accelerometer.
PHONE MUST BE PLACED ON A FLAT SURFACE FOR TEST TO WORK PROPERLY
- Click on GYRO SELFTEST (shown below)
- Do not touch the phone and allow it to run the test.
You should see a screen with 3 tests saying "PASS" in blue and an overall "PASS"
Note: there is no need to test the OIS Gyro as this is used for Image stabilization when taking photos/videos.
To Exit the Menu:
Click the back button repeatedly until you exit to the phone app or home screen
