The accelerometer should work fine in space? It measures acceleration, it's not like acceleration stops outside the atmosphere

- tedunangst 13y agoThe orientation sensor probably works less well, though. Probably just lock orientation on the ground before you go up.
- ygra 13y agoThe orientation sensor is the accelerometer. You know which side is up because you get 1 g of acceleration downwards. At least on Earth.
- jff 13y agoThat's an interesting thought: what orientation will your screen take in microgravity? Will it stick on the last time it saw ~1 g, or will it flip randomly from one to another, or will it just go with "whatever has the highest acceleration", meaning that pretty much any motion of the phone would change orientation.
