AR mode doesn't find Pokemon - Low Angle View of Man Standing at Night

When I find a wild Pokemon, it shows in the app but when I set AR on, it doesn't show anymore. I can catch it only when the AR is off and I cannot take real world pictures with the pokemon. What's wrong?



Best Answer

Depending on the phone you have.

I have a Sony C4, and the same problems occurs for me. So I have to play without the AR mode, it's not really embarrassing and the game is still awesome.

The problem is the gyroscope. This little thing controlled by the accelerometer, will make the Pokémon appear in AR mode.

Here is the link to the App (Play Store) to check if you do have a gyroscope or if you don't. Sensor Kinetics
