title: Android accelerometer max values
body: <p>So I have been searching for about 3 hours and I have not come up with a good answer/solution. </p>
  
  <p>My Question is: Why am I getting a max acceleration value of only about 34 m/s^2 or about 3.5 Gs (34/9.81).</p>
  
  <p>Is it because hardware restrictions or software restrictions? If it is hardware I know I can't do nothing about it(or at least not easily). If it is software restriction then how can I remove that restriction, is there any way of doing that? Like an API or something?</p>
  
  <p>I would appreciate any help,
  Thanks.</p>
  
  <p><em>Note</em>: I am using a Galaxy S, if that makes a difference. I have also taking a look at this question but that does not helps me: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4691097/what-is-android-accelerometer-min-and-max-range">What is android accelerometer min and max range</a></p>
