Description

When I shake my head left to right to indicate "no", the testing registeres as "yes". If i nod for "yes", it also registeres "yes". Even if i shake my head extremely (more than I ever would do in real life), it still registeres a "yes" gesture.
Included Video shows the issue i have. (First Movement is a "no", second movement is a "yes" gesture)

Some info about my Setup:
Google Pixel 7 (Not rooted on the latest update)
AirPods Pro 2 USB-C running latest firmware (Version 8454768)
Latest Google Play Release of Librepods (special testing version 49 with fixed Head gestures menu, previously, the test gestures button was inaccessible in public release due to no scroll)

When I had the Airpods in, i have used the Medium tips and they have a good fit, so they arent just loosely hanging on my ears.

Research direction

Start with the Head gestures menu and its test gestures button, reproducing the behavior on the reported Pixel 7 and AirPods Pro 2 setup. Trace how left-to-right head movement is classified compared with a nod; done means a shake registers as “no” while a nod continues to register as “yes”.
