About Sensors test

This application shows you the output of all sensors of your Android device, like accelerometer, magnetic field sensor, light sensor and a lot more, including their resolution, maximum range and power consumption. And it's totally ad-free!


It also provides an explanation of the measurements and of the coordinates-systems used and allows you to choose the units you like.


This application gives you the access to:*

· Motion and position sensors:
- Accelerometer
- Gravity sensor
- Acceleration sensor
- Gyroscope (calibrated and uncalibrated)
- Orientation
- Proximity sensor
- Step counter
- Step detector
- Significant motion
- Rotation vector sensors

· Environment sensors:
- Light sensors
- Magnetic field sensor (calibrated and uncalibrated)
- Barometer (pressure sensor)
- Relative humidity sensor
- Temperature sensor

· Body sensors:
- Heart rate sensor



*Note: your device may not contain all this sensors


The app is ad-free, but there is a donation button in the "about" section. You can donate multiple times; donations are not refundable.

version 0.23 on Sony Xperia Active with Android 4.04. Simple, robust, clear. The footprint is not small but reasonable: 7 MB storage and 10 MB memory usage. Free with no ads. Works even on old devices (Android 2.3). There is no logging. If you want logging try the similar application My Sensors. Sensor Test displays are simpler are more readable but less detailed. Thanks to the developer.

Does it what it's supposed to. My new phone keeps veering right in motion games even on flat table. Checked but not sure what values should be in accelerometer. X=0 y=0 z=9.8 Is this okay. Yes, calibrated in game too. Didn't work. Could it have been the gyroscope. VR videos were shaky too. It was a new Honor 6x. So i returned the device. Thanx for replying!!

Nice to see Google Android megapredatory manipulators allowed a working app to get out to we the people! Others do not have all this one has, good job, dudes/ettes! Keep it up. ..

Good app. It helped me to find the light and proximity sensor on my phone. I needed that to be able to calibrate the sensor settings with a different app. Sometimes the proximity sensor got stuck on NEAR, but I don't know if it is this app or my sensor which is faulty. Edit: I later worked out that the glass on my phone is loose, and when it sits proud of the case, the sensor reads NEAR always. Nothing wrong with this app.

Great, but there is no wifi sensor, GPS sensor, compass or a battery sensor, your apps are great! Also how do you make an app without ads? You can't make money without them! Great job, sacrificing your money and time to our user experience! The best dev yet! Check out this other app called 'sensors multitool' perhaps you can take some ideas to make it even better. Simple ui , no ads... The best app developer and app... Also some devs don't even reply to comments about their apps not working! Reply to this comment (I know you will) and I'll change the rating to 5 stars. There should also be a watch video to donor feature

Magnetic field uncalibrated screen shows no x y z values for my device... Does that mean it's broken on my device? The calibrated one shows values though..

Delightfully nerdy! I love to see the numbers coming out of my sensors. I'm going to use the hall effect sensor in my phone to do some rough amperage measurements on a DC circuit.

Does what it says on the tin, but it would be nice to have some more information about the numbers, such as how a phone at rest on a level table, for instance, should be reading. My phone had suddenly started auto-rotating, so I downloaded this app to see if any sensors have funny readings, but I don't have a sense for what is right or wrong. UPDATE: I compared with another device, and saw that my phone thought it was spinning at a funny angle; while pondering the issue, I got a Hangout message, and the phone vibration kicked the gyro or whatever back to normal! I would strongly recommend that the app should have a simple help option, or just display an extra text box at the bottom saying that for acceleration, for instance, on a level surface you should see approximately (0, 0, 9.81 ms). What would be even more wonderful would be to have a simple lack of motion test - place device on flat surface, press a TEST button, and the various motion sensors are checked to see if they are giving stable and sensible readings.

But should note that if the sensors aren't being displayed, then my device doesn't probably have them

Hi team, When i do call on any number my phone screen is not going to off mode. In your app when i test proximity sensor not any type of number is running on screen. Please help

Review edited: Original issue with Samsung S5 G900F after update to Android 6.0 (reset to factory defaults & Fresh App installation). Body sensors: Heart rate sensor this needs specific permission so to be used by this App. ( Apps designed for Android 6.0 will now ask for a permission when they need it.) While this APP it did not notify me about needing this permission. Manually given permission this solved the problem. Now the sensor it is visible to this App and fully working. I wish to thanks this software developer, for all help offered, and the exchanged feedback.

Had an an issue with the proximity detector. Thought a recent app installation was causing the problem, turns out it was the screen protector. Saved me a lot of time chasing misc Android settings.

I have a problem in my phone. When I make a call, during call, screen goes black. Display returns when opposite call receiver ends the call. Please help me to fix this problem.

I gone through some forum, they suggested there is a screw behind the phone to fix the proximity sensor problem . With this app, I tested how much I need to tied the screw

Wanted an app that would act as a lux meter to get an idea of the performance of a light dimmer I bought, got not only that but access to all the other sensors on my phone too! Great little app, no annoying ads, highly recommended.

But could have had some settings like a reset values to 0. Or performance tests or gyro game test? But good work on everything else.

Wouldn't have given even single star.what has one to do by measuring value.please make an app that can actually callibirate accelerometer values

If my app isnt listing a gyroscope,only accelerometer and others, does this mean i dont have a gyro? (Tried due to inability to use ar on pokemon go and facebooks 360 photos dont work on my phone.)

Found it easy and nice for the sensors test. Is there an option to know speed when in motion? Could use GPS to give that.

So my proximity sensors weren't broken, they were just showing near no mather what until a reboot which is strange. I will keep this for a week or two just to keep testing the proximity sensors.

Test 5 apps before, step counter not show values... This is app correctly show.
