Just got an email from Google that Nexus S and Xoom currently do not use the gyroscope for TYPE_GRAVITY, TYPE_LINEAR_ACCELERATION and TYPE_ROTATION_VECTOR but it will be improved sometime in the future. Currently the only way to us the gyroscope in Java is to use TYPE_GYROSCOPE where you get rotational velocity.
