My Galaxy S4 gyroscope always tilts to the right (left in landscape)
Recently, I got myself a (knock-off) Google Cardboard kit for my Galaxy S4 (now running on stock ROM after a lot of frustrations). I put the kit together, insert my phone and it looks amazing. However, the screen never stops moving either left or right, depending on the angle. It's very slightly, but enough to completely ruin the fun demos and experiences you can use, as you find yourself fighting against this constant movement.
Now I thought that it was only the Cardboard app or kit, but even other apps that utilize the gyroscope/accelerometer have this same issue (GyroscopeExplorer never stops moving either). I've tried 2 different custom ROMs, went back to 4.2.2 to try a recalibration, and then went back to stock 4.4.2 and tried the service menu, from which every test passes.
From what I can tell, before any movement takes place, the gyroscope knows where it is, until I start moving the phone. It's a very bizarre issue that I've been searching all over for, and I could only find a few others with the same problem. Does anyone here know of a solution other than bringing the phone back?
Thanks in advance,

Oh yeah, "Windy Day", a demo in the Cardboard app, works absolutely fine. This is the only VR app that hasn't got that same sliding issue I have with all the other apps.
