LG Optimus S accelerometer accuracy always 0

Question

Does anybody own an LG Optimus S and seen a value for Sensor.accuracy that wasn't 0 (Sensor.SENSOR_STATUS_UNRELIABLE)? We apparently need to test accuracy of the sensor events we are getting, but on my phone the accuracy is always 0 and wanted to see if it was a phone wide issue or if mine is busted or something.

Thanks.

If you look to part lists of your phone, you will find that accelerometers built in are far away from reliable - so there is always a lot of noise and little accuracy. Chips used in HTC Hero provide deliver 8 bit value for +/- 8G (hope this helps, even it is not LG specific)

Do you know where I can find a parts list for my phone? – jakehschwartz Aug 16 '11 at 13:25

You may get exact model by just System.out(sensorObjectYouGotFromSensorManager) - at least this worked on HTC hero. Most probably it will be something like Bosh Sensortec BMA 150 (you will not find anything expensive in a phone) – Konstantin Pribluda Aug 16 '11 at 19:27
Hmm didn't know I could do that. Thanks. – jakehschwartz Aug 17 '11 at 13:35
