If you’re a Cherry Mobile Flare user like me, you’re probably happy enough with your phone, especially for the price. However, it’s likely that you’re encountering a few bugs that are hindering your experience with your phone. One such bug is the off-center gyroscope that some Flare units seem to be encountering.Actually, a large chunk of Flare users are reporting it, so it isn’t a problem that’s limited to a small few. Thankfully, there’s a fix, and no, there’s no need to root the phone just to get it to work.

Tutorial on How to Fix Cherry Mobile Flare’s Gyro Problem

Step 1: Download the GPS Status and Toolbox app from the official Google Play store.

Step 2: Once it’s installed, open the app. Make sure that you’re connected to a WiFi hotspot and that your GPS is on. Make sure you can pick up the GPS signal. Go outside if you have to.

Step 3: If you have a strong enough GPS connection, the app should populate with various location and positioning info. Wait for that info to populate before proceeding to Step 4.

Step 4: Make sure the phone is on a level surface and is laying perfectly flat. Keep in mind that the camera and speaker grill sticks out a bit on the back, preventing the phone from laying perfectly flat. Lay it in such a way that the camera and speaker grill don’t get in the way.

Step 5. Press the Menu button and go to Tools > Calibrate pitch and roll.

Step 6: And you’re done! Test the gyro by playing a game of Temple Run or something.

    1. Maglalabas daw ng software update ang CM para sa Flare and Titan. Hopefully, kasama din yan sa bugs na ireresolve nila.

  1. kelangan ba malakas yung GPS signal? kasi im trying and im inside our home… wifi connected naman ako pero it doesn’t seem to fix the problem… i followed the steps religiously…

    1. Yes. I had to take my phone outside para magpopulate yung info sa GPS Status and Toolbox. Make sure it’s perfectly level. This is hard to do because nagpoportrude ang camera and may small bump yung speaker grill.

    1. Cherry Mobile Flare users in various threads refer to the problem as the gyro sensor. The title is intended not to confuse existing owners who already recognize it as a “Gryo problem”
