Your device doesnt support motion? nokia 635

[WPCentral Question]

when i try to use my star chart app or other apps that use motion they dont work or i get the message your device doesnt support motion? this phone is supposed to be an upgrade to my nokia 620 and so far it has far less features

does it have motion detection or is this phone just bugged?

As far as sensors go, the 620 has an Ambient light sensor, Accelerometer, Proximity sensor, and Magnetometer. The 635 has only the Accelerometer. I'm not sure what app you speak of, but check it's requirements as it may need one of those other sensors not included in the 635. Why it would need any of those other sensors, I'm not sure, that is up to the developer.
