Will gravity sensors in smartphones function when they are under zero-gravity condition?

Of course. They will correctly register zero acceleration in all three axes.
Until the mission specialist takes the phone out of her pocket. Then they
will register the accelerations along the length, width, and thickness of the
phone as she positions it in front of her, dials the number to which she
wishes to be connected to, and then whispers a silent oath and puts the
phone back in her pocket because there's no $^%#&* cellphone coverage
up there.
When you are in Earth orbit you are still in the Earth's gravity field, but
you feel "weightless" because you are in "free fall".
The way these particular sensors work means they register zero in free fall.

RPM needed to attain zerogravity for a obgect weighing 1gm?
Here's a place to start http://www.answers.com/topic/artificial-gravity?cat=technology or Where: g = Decimal fraction of Earth gravity R = Radius from center of rotation in meters π(Pi) = http://www.answers.com/topic/pi rpm = revolutions per minute The weight of an object is due to gravity, increasing the RPM would increase "gravity" making your 1gm object weigh more.
Does air pressure affect gravity?
Gravity is a function of mass and distance. So, no air pressure does not affect gravity.
What part does gravity play in the function of the water clock?
Without gravity, water drops wouldn't fall and the water clock wouldn't be able to function.
Under what condition the center of mass does not coincide with the center of gravity?
If the gravity is not constant over the body.
Where does gravity pull you?
Gravity, which is a function of the earth's mass, is a constant force toward the center of the earth.
What way does the nervous system function as the communication system of the body?
because the earth gravity of the gravity
Why do all the planets have different fields of gravity?
Gravity is a function of mass. All the planets have different mass, so different gravity.
Do weight and mass both depend on gravity?
No. Mass is independent of gravity, but weight is a function of gravity and mass.
What is the condition for zero gravity?
freefall or stable orbit
is a function of and varieties with gravity?
The answer could be gravitational acceleration.
What is the function of urinometer?
it measures the specific gravity of urine
What are the characteristics of the graph of a function?
because of the gravity of the earth
