Has anyone got device orientation working?

I am making a jumper game that needs tilt to control.

Unfortunately, it doesnt seem to work correctly.

Anyone has an example or has already done this properly?

Kindly extend help :)

On what platform are you looking to get the accelerometer working?

Android primarily.

iOS, windows and BB would be nice though.

It works, it's just that every platform reports its orientation differently (axes flipped or 90 degree rotated, depending on what it is), that's a bit of a bummer.

since the values change everytime the player shifts his position (sitting, sleeping) in the middle of the game... so we're needed to calculate new median point everytime.

Is there a better way?
