The compass on my phone does not work, No matter which direction the phone is facing, it indicates that direction is north. This is true in every app tried so far (Compass, Google maps, Google sky map). The x,y,z values for magnetic field vary in the AndroSensor app as I move the phone around leaving open the possibility that it is a software rather than a device issue. If it is software, I'd think it would be a common problem. The fact that there is no discussion indicates maybe it is just my device.So, my question to this Forum is: Do others have this problem, ie is it common and software related?I prefer to avoid the hassle of setting up a new replacement device (love the Photon), but if it is just my device,

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a strange problem with my C5,When I press "5" on my phone, my compass don't work. Normally, on my old nokia e55, the compass became yellow and after red and after my map follow the north. With this phone, press "5" do nothing. The compass stay white.Another problem I have, is that the GPS positioning will place my position on a road, even when I'm far away from any roads ( even 50 meters away ). As such, my location on the map is rarely accurate when I'm not on a road.Is supposed it is due to the new version of Nokia maps compared to my old e55. Version is v3.04 10wk32 b04.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just bought a friend's 2g iPhone (cheap!) and I've loaded several apps, pix and podcasts, but somehow I've deleted the default 'Compass' app (I'm directionally challenged). I have tried restoring several different ways, but nothing I try works. It looks like it's pulling info off of an Apple database on what basic apps I have (and what I've deleted), even though I've told it to set it up as a new phone.If this is so easy to do accidentally, it's definitely hard to find info on how to fix it!My wife has a 3GS, and hers has almost the exact same apps, but she still has her Compass. Is there a way to copy hers onto mine?
View 7 Replies View RelatedToday the Compass Interference message appeared on my iPhone 4 screen and no matter how many times I wave the phone in a figure 8 motion, the message does not disappear. I have moved the phone away from sources of interference. What else can I do? I need a clear screen to demonstrate an app at a conference day after tomorrow. How can I fix this quickly?

Thinking it is time for Apple to stop working on these apps and let folks download apps from the app store for all this? Would seem Apples time is best spend working on the core apps - Mail/Safari/iPod/Contacts/Camera etc. Am not sure if the Maps app is one of the core apps though Apple has bought a couple of companies to enhance this.
What do you guys think. There seem to be very good apps in the store for many of these utilities??
I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1. The Compass app that comes with the OS will allow me to display a heading in magnetic north but not in true north. The true north option is grayed out. The magnetic heading displayed is accurate. I have location services turned on and the app displays my correct LAT & LON. I don't use this app very often but I'm sure both magnetic and true north options working before. It may have worked with iOS 5.0 and stopped working when I upgraded to 5.1. I tried powering the phone off and back on several times. I haven't tried restoring it with iTunes.

Calibration was easy, though, I just need to wait until tomorrow to check if it has solved the Waze problem.

View 5 Replies View RelatedYesterday I installed the new free Ovi Maps and managed to download some maps and voice guidance files onto it as well. Yay for the free new gadget. But somehow my compass doesn't seem to work anymore. Or rather, it stays white and I don't see the map tilt. With the previous version I would just move the phone along all axis for a few seconds and it would turn from white to yellow to green (as described in the manual). Here, nothing happens, no matter how long or how often I turn and twist the thing.Is there a different way to do it in the new Ovi Maps? Am I doing something wrong? Is it a bug? If so, am I the only one with it?

View 7 Replies View RelatedThe inbuilt magnetometer on my phone seems to have developed issues. It does not work in maps. It is always greyed . In fact it should be aligned in The direction of The travel. It is always stuck at north at top. Is this a hardware issue or can it be sorted out by software reinstall?EVEN THE OTHER COMPASS APPS DONT WORK. I have downloaded compass touch from Nokia store. Anyone else with same issue? And yes, I had performed a hard reset (*#7370#) after belle refresh. Not sure whether this issue came up after this or it was there before.
View 10 Replies View RelatedThe compass is not working on my Nokia C6-01.I cant calibrate it. Even other compass apps dont work. Nokia care staff reinstalled firmware, but the issue was not solved. They said it is a sensor issue and they will check whether this is in touch panel or the board itself. I just want to know whether sensor has any role to play in a compass. The Nokia care staff has no idea of what a compass is and how it works. He didnt understand the exact problem even after I showed it. I had to grab another similar phone and showed him how it works or should work. I am fed up with the failure of Nokia phones within a year or so. This is my 3rd handset in row to have developed issues. Seems better to move on to other phones.

View 6 Replies View RelatedJust like the title says literally 99% of the time i go into Google maps the little blue marker is pointed in the wrong direction and I have to do the compass calibration where you tilt it front back side side then twist it. About 50% of the time Google maps tells me to do that. Is there anyway to have the compass calibration stick?
