I am using the following URLs to control the gyro feature:

javascript:gyro.toggle();
javascript:gyro.disable();
javascript:gyro.enable();

Unfortunately - depending on the used Android browser - the gyro toggling is working or not.
I am wondering if there are some more possibilites to control the a) activity (on/off/toggle) and b) sensitivity.

Every feedback welcome.

Hi,
Can you let me know which browsers you are having problems with?
The Gyro is just a js file and Pano2VR is using a javascript call to active and deactivate it.
The browser plays a big part in this.

Firefox works best (stability, fluent, gyro working).
Chrome is also very fluten, but unfortunately gyro is not working.

I have also realized that latest version of pano2vr_player.js and pano2vrgyro.js are working very bad on my Android devices (Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 and Galaxy S2).
Best results i get when i use the java files from Pano2VR version 4.0.

The issue i have is that when loading the panorama on android the screen moves in the first seconds while it's loaded until the function (javascript:gyro.disable();) disables the gyro control.
I want to have gyro disabled immediately, and activate it only when i push the button in the skin.

4.5 beta 2 has the option that the Gyro is disabled on open?
Open the HTML 5 output and under the HTML tab you have the options:

Include gyroscope control
Disable on startup
Use true north
