Would like to share with everyone that after the most recent OTA update for the Honor 7x, there is now a detected and working gyroscope.

Well, at least it’s the December security patch. That’s better than nothing, I suppose.

That's awesome Chris! Thanks for confirming this. Have you had any first hand experience with vr on the 7x?

December is pretty good, considering that the pixels just got January a few days ago.

Unfortunately, moving to Ca has caused most of my stuff to still be packed (including my google cardboards). I opened a 360 YT video and was able to view, as well as google cardboard and move the phone around.
