Colin, Here's what I am doing. It works PERFECTLY on iOS. On Android (Galaxy Tab 2), x is a out there number! global currentAccel on accelerationChanged x, y, z put round(x*10) into currentAccel end accelerationChanged on doSetCar put the left of btn "car" + (currentAccel*abs(currentAcc

I think I know what I would do, but I want to try it first before describing the idea. Sadly, neither the mobileSensorReading or accelerationChanged features appear to be working. Can you show the code you're currently using to read the accelerometer? On Sep 1, 2012, at 1:22 AM, Dan Friedman

I didn't know about that text file, but I do know about the issue. Generally speaking Android phones are in a default orientation when portrait, and generally speaking Android tablets are in a default orientation when landscape. So, for LiveCode to really let you know what's going on you have to
