mfoltzgoogle has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/sensors: == Need API to report platform accuracy changes == At least on Android, the accuracy of an already-instantiated sensor can change dynamically based on user or platform actions [1]. For example it may take some time for a sensor to calibrate itself or it may revert to a low accuracy mode in a battery saving situation. This information could be important for applications, but it's not exposed through the generic API. I don't know how easy it would be to strictly define the accuracy levels reported through that API [2]. It may be dependent on the sensor type and implementation.
