Custom sensitivity settings on gyroscope through android api, or kernel?

I own a samsung galaxy tab 10.1 4g lte-- and am starting to play with the sensors onboard. I looked up the mems gyro on board and found that (you can se开发者_运维知识库e for yourself on pg 9) that there are 4 different condition settings to change the sensitivity of the gyro from 250 degrees per second to up to like 2500 degrees per second. I am pretty sure that the lower setting will allow for a finer resolution of reading, while the higher settings can account for larger amounts of motions ( the reading at highest resolution (250) would probably max out at 250). Does anyone know what the default setting is and how to change it? If i had to guess I would bet the setting is on +-500 or +-1000 by default.

Thanks for the help in advance.

On registering your listener, you can specify the rate at which the events should be received.

registerListener (SensorEventListener listener, Sensor sensor, int rate)

You can choose from a variety of rates enumerated by SensorManager class:

SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL, SENSOR_DELAY_UI, SENSOR_DELAY_GAME, or SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST

Moreover, even the rate values are just a hint for the system, it's not necessarily receiving events at your specified rate.
