Mobile sensors / browser diagnostics

Gyroscope observation

Observe rotation-rate readings from browser motion events.

Diagnostic visuals retain their original colors and remain visible. Presentation filters and high contrast apply outside this workspace; device-level filters may still affect your observation.

How to run this check

Choose Start sensor and gently rotate the device during the ten-second sample.

Understand the result

PASS describes a received signal or your recorded observation. WARNING calls for another check. USER REVIEW REQUIRED means a measurement alone cannot decide. An unavailable API or denied permission does not establish hardware failure.

What this cannot tell you

Rotation rate is reported in degrees per second. Browser events cannot certify the physical gyroscope.

If something seems wrong

Try motion permissions in a current mobile browser. Missing readings do not establish a faulty sensor.

Good to know

Is anything uploaded?

Raw diagnostic input and media are processed locally. Standalone results remain in page memory. Guided checks offer optional coarse session recovery for 24 hours; it excludes media and detailed measurements. Hosting and Google Analytics requests still leave your browser. Analytics receives only broad test-usage categories, never these diagnostic contents. See the privacy policy.

Does a pass guarantee my hardware is healthy?

No. It records behavior observed in this browser session. Intermittent faults, internal components and operating-system restrictions need further investigation. See our methodology.
