Four sensors in the Android Mobile

So far I had not known, that an Android Mobile has built four different sensors. These are four different sensors:

  1. 3-axis Accelerometer (Beschleunigungsmesser)
  2. 3-axis Magnetic field sensor (Magnetic field probe)
  3. Orientation sensor (Localization probe)
  4. Temperature sensor (Temperature probe)

Addendum of 23.09.2011: Meanwhile, in recent Android devices, other sensors were implemented:

  1. GP2A (Brightness control for display)
  2. Rotation Vector Sensor
  3. Linear Acceleration Sensor

In the Android Market can be a free App “Sensor List” by milan Works Studio download and install on its Android mobile phone. The app shows the functionality and the current values ​​with graphics on the touch screen. The application is a good way to test, because some sensors act like a case of smart phones are no longer on hard ground.
