LGTM. Anything else needed to merge this in?

@matrosov-nikita Which Samsung devices are affected? All of them? Only the Samsung Galaxy S3/4/5? If we could get more info on that, we can test for this and try and make there there's no regressions.

[matrosov-nikita]

@infil00p, sorry for late reply, I've tested a plugin with two Samsung devices:

1. Samsung Galaxy Core Prime VE Duos SM-G361H (Android 5.1)
   
   It has only 'Screen Orientation Sensor' with orientation type 65558
2. Samsung Galaxy S5 (Android 5.1)
   
   It has two orientation sensors - 'Screen Orientation Sensor'(type=65558) and 'Orientation Sensor'(type=3)

For Samsung Galaxy S5 plugin works perfect. So, not all devices are affected. It depends on what orientation sensors the device has.

A quick Google search reveals that the Note 2 and Note 4 also have this sensor type:

Interestingly, the only device I was able to dig up that has the Samsung-specific orientation sensor but not the "normal" orientation sensor is the SM-G361H model @matrosov-nikita points out.

@matrosov-nikita are you able to confirm that this device's Samsung Orientation Sensor works and provides the same kind of data as the regular android Orientation sensor?

[matrosov-nikita]

@filmaj, I can confirm that auto and manual tests work w/ my fix.

This commit will fix the compass problem on samsung devices? e.g. Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016)

[matrosov-nikita]

@petrot, what do you mean 'compass problem'. Do you have any particular cases which don't work for you? I could test them with this fix.

[petrot]

One of my user has a Galaxy J5, but as I recognized yesterday, this phone does not have a sensor. So my problem has been solved.. :)

[matrosov-nikita]

@filmaj, @infil00p, do I need to do something else on this PR?

[filmaj]

@matrosov-nikita as long as you tested this on one of the real devices affected by the issue, and confirmed the fix, I am good to have this merged.

[filmaj]

Just realized you don't have committer rights - I will merge this in.

[filmaj]

@matrosov-nikita can you rebase with latest master first, please?

[matrosov-nikita]

@filmaj, done
