This does seem to be the problem I referred to earlier. I did a quick spreadsheet to compute
(magnitude-8192)/32which the step count algorithm does initially. Most values exceed 14 theRAW_THRESHOLD( the average is 15.56). The step count algorithm assumes that at rest the magnitude will be 1g = 8192 which it will not be in all orientations for all accelerometers unless they are calibrated.
