Every time I access the compass on iPhone4, I get a message that there is interference and the phone needs to be moved in a figure 8. This occurs with the compass map as well as when switching to compass mode in the Maps app.
Today 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?
Since my first cell phone I've always experienced cellular noise interference when my phone came close to any speaker system (this includes the original iPhone I had for the past 2 and a half years).Now, with my iPhone 4, I no longer experience any interference at all! I can finally take showers blasting my music from my iSound speakers without having to turn on Airplane mode. I'm assuming Apple knows this considering that I'm no longer prompted with an option to turn on Airplane mode when I dock the iPhone into the speakers, only a message recommending me to. Second, how is this possible? Why hasn't Apple toted this remarkable advancement in the phone's communication system?
Having just replaced my Treo with a Blackberry Tour, I'm new to both the Blackberry and this forum. If I'm posting to the wrong forum, or if my question has been answered before, please point me in the right direction.
One of the first things I did was to get my Treo calendar into Outlook, then get the BB to sync to Outlook. Everything was working fine.
Then I added an email account @vzw.blackberry.net. A few days later when I tried to sync to Outlook, a whole bunch of my calendar appointments get deleted from Outlook. Even when I set up syncing to replace all data in Outlook, I ended up with appointments in my BB that weren't in Outlook. When I looked at the appointment details, the top line had a "Synchronize to" entry. The appointments that got backed up specified Synchronize to Default, the ones that didn't get backed up said Synchronize to vzw.blackberry.net. If there was a way to change the "Synchronize to" target, I didn't find it.
So I deleted the email account from my BB. I synchronized again, and everything worked fine. The appointment details no longer displayed a "Synchronize to" entry.
I have a T-Mobile S6 Edge, when I play any media with sound and the phone does ANYTHING else while sound is being played I get a loud distorted interference type sound. I can be playing music through an app, or local file, or watching a video with sound. Even if it's me locking the screen or rotating the screen it happens, also it doesn't matter if it's headphones, the phone's physical speaker, or a Bluetooth speaker it always happens.
I get 4G service where I work. I had my phone laying partially on/off a keyboard for one of my computers at work. I noticed an unusual buzzing sound coming from that particular pc's speakers off and on all day. Then I noticed it quit when my phone is not near the keyboard or screen. I can only recreate this when the phone is in CDMA/LTE recieving 4G service. When the phone is in CDMA only this doesnt happen. Is this normal to expect 4G to intefere with other devises?
I have the motorola car dock for the Droid Razr which came with the Charger that plugs into the cigarette lighter and the 3.5m Aux cable. When i have the charger plugged in with the AUX cable i get interference when playing music from my phone, if i remove the charger and just have the aux cable plugged in via the dock i get no interference.
I love using Pandora while I'm in the car, but it's a battery drain. I use a normal 3.5mm plug for the audio, and all is good. But when I try to charge my Tour at the same time as using it for audio, I get a terrible screech over the music.
I just got a Iphone 3GS without a data plan. and was wondering if turning on the "Location services" for the camera and the compass used "Data" <- the kind I have to pay for =( I'm scared to turn it on and use it and rack up my bills
I 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?
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.
My Xperia X10's compass is not working. When I on the compass where i downloaded from market, it just still there and not moving at all. May I know what is the problem happen to my phone? I've tried calibrate using "Analog Compass" but still the same problem occur.
I went to use Waze for the first time on the S6 today, and it was all messed up. Unsure of what the problem was, I googled for compass calibration, and it was completely uncalibrated.
Calibration was easy, though, I just need to wait until tomorrow to check if it has solved the Waze problem.

Yesterday 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?
Swing the "8" with the phone but nothing has changed.The compass circle is red.I tried it outdoors, away from any electrical appliances or or any large metal objects. When I bought e52, it was working but now it isn't working. Does it may from mechanic problem. What does the digital compass depend for right direction. Do I must any nokia service. Northpole compass aplication isn't working.
The 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.
The 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.
After i reformat to factory setting, one of the application is missing which is the digital compass.How to re-install the digital compass? I need the application.
