Latest Chrome/Android : DeviceOrientation Down!!!! Massive Google Bug!!!!

[StudioZAAK]

It seems like google has killed every project based on boris boilerplate - there is a major bug in the latest chrome for android - device orientation is down! running over 100 client projects based on boilerplate - what to do?

so on android 7.0 using chrome 65 devicerotation won't work at all - there seems to be a strange behaviour with degree / radians too. this affects every service based on boilerplate / webvr polyfill like boris webvr boilerplate, aframe, krpano - actually all web projects based on device orientation. @borismus : support would be very much appreciated !?

This repo is clearly unmaintained. I'd suggest you switch to using a combination of webvr-polyfill and the VR helpers in three.js, or even A-Frame.

In fact, it sounds like your issue may actually be with webvr-polyfill, so you should check that repo instead.

@brianpeiris thanks for the hints, i already knew those libraries and tested them but they won't work on chrome 65 on android - so basically it's a chrome issue..

have a look at:
https://github.com/immersive-web/webvr-polyfill/releases/tag/v0.10.3

tested on samsung galaxy s7, s8, nexus 5 + 6 => devieorientation is off nothing is moving

Well then, you should file a report to webvr-polyfill, not this project.
