How to use this test
  1. Start access, then tilt the device while comparing alpha, beta and gamma readings.
  2. Move the device gently and observe any delivered sensor events.
  3. Stop when finished. No data does not establish a defective sensor.
How it works & what results mean

How the test works

Observe browser-reported device orientation. It uses DeviceMotion/DeviceOrientation; optional Generic Sensor/Vibration APIs. The workspace shows observations from this browser or asks for your own confirmation.

Understanding your result

Relative orientation is not necessarily geographic heading. Rotation conventions and screen orientation need interpretation. Availability/axis conventions/browser policy vary; samples do not certify calibration Missing data, blocked permission and an operation that could not run are shown separately. None establishes a hardware fault.

About this test & common questions

how to test phone orientation angles online?

Use this device orientation test to observe browser-reported rotation angles while gently tilting your phone. Inspect changes rather than assuming a fixed physical direction.

does orientation data prove automatic screen rotation works?

Orientation events do not establish that operating system auto-rotation works or that the sensor is calibrated.
