Compass works,but there is 90 degrees offset - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Sorry for my poor English. With mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense RC1.3a on my hd2, the compass works, but I found there has 90 degrees offset. Could someone can fix this problem ?

Is a known bug. Something with the automatic calibration...

any news for this??

you need to calibrate your compass , move your hand like that about 10 times and it is done http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoxpSK7i1vM

After calibration, compass still has 90 degree offset.
I think maybe the METAL DETECOR's author could help for this.

i agree, this is a fairly annoying issue as navigation/maps/streetview/ and skymap all rely on this to function.

Anyone figured this out yet???
Still no fix for the compass? I know this is minor overall but it would be nice....lol Mine is still exactly 90 degrees off i.e. saying west when pointing due north. Any hep on this would be HUGELY appreciated!

dude, u didn't need to calibrate at all, It is you screen rotation orentation.

Nice work; but I thought hoban fixed all of it and it was part of his tainted rom. I could be wrong, but I haven't had any issues using it.
havent used it yet, saw that the zen exp rom was using the one with the broken camera button so i figured id post it here for anyone to grab.

Will this work with all roms? Sprint, Eris, Zen etc?
2.1 roms
and apparently it was the 2.1.3 build that got the rotation bug worked out. so any rom based off the 2.1.3 or ota build will work perfectly with it
yeah you just had to edit the hudlayer1 smali
thanks this works great!

right. i think it was because the camera icon was trying to call up nexus hardware and since we obviously dont have it, it was causing the FC. i just linked in the correct intent code

Rotation bug? Is that when you rotate it and it splits into like 12 tiny screens, all displaying what should be displayed as one large screen? That bug is present with your fixed Gallery3D apk and ZenEXP-Eris.

too bad i dont actually know what im doing with all this, otherwise im sure i could find what in v3 made it work. maybe someone a little more wise in the way of the droid could figure out what causes the fix so it can be added to the ported roms.
and im sure you already know this, but a work around for the rotation bug is just to switch orientation before you open the app. the only time there is an issue is when the orientation is changed within the app itself

[FIXED (repaired!)] Touchscreen/keyboard 'bounce' (update 26-10-10)

I've tried a lot of android builds whilst the development has been going on and found that Bangster's 1.4 coupled with Michy's R11 was the best for me with regard to screen sensitivity and keyboard accuracy.
I recently had a dabble with m-deejay's next-gen builds Desire HD/Z etc (which are excellent by the way, credit to him), and found that I was getting a lot of screen bounce, missed button presses and a very frustating keyboard experience (Hastarin R7.1). Pressing and holding the delete key for example would result in keypresses bouncing all over the place, sometimes several keys removed from the delete key. I tried a plain Froyo Sense build and found the same thing, although not quite as bad.
So, I decided to try the bare kernel from Michyprima's R11 (AXI, Desire, OC) on my current Froyo Desire build just to see if it was down to the kernal 100%. Instant bounce removal... keyboard is accurate and now when I press & hold on the home screen, I don't get the screen wobbling from side to side as the software thinks that I'm moving my finger around rapidly.
To recap; it seems like I was getting more bounce with Hastarin's R7.1 than any other, but certainly Michy's R11 (Desire based) is making my phone usable again. It really was bad before.
More messing required methinks... I may re-load the Desire Z build on to my SD card and try R11 to see what it's like. One thing I remember is whilst trying m-deejay's Desire HD 3.1 (which had an Evo kernel IIRC), keyboard bounce was almost non-existant. It wasn't until I changed to D-HD 3.3 that the keyboard became a pain to use (Hastarin R7.1).
Hastarin if you read this, please note this is by no means a dig, I have the greatest respect for all the guys posting builds here, these are just my obvservations.
As with all things Android/HD2 related, YMMV. Your thoughts are welcome.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: I've taken a couple of quick videos of m-deejay's brand new 3.4 Desire HD build showing this phenomenon (kernal is huanyu's #21). Replacing the zImage with Michy's R11 virtually eliminates it.
Video 1 - homescreen
Video 2 - keyboard
Could this be Windows ROM related? Might flash another WinMo ROM to see if it's any different.
Edit 2 Sent my HD2 back to HTC today, hopefully for TS replacement... see relevant post here.
Edit 3 Received my HD2 back from HTC's repair department. Problem fixed. No more bouncing Relevant post here.
No-one else with similar experiences?
Me too!
previously was using M-deejay's froyo sense 2.2 and the keyboard was a great improvement from my old stock HD2 Windows keyboard, which was oversensitive and jumps alot, making typing a hassle. I did not have any problems with the froyo sense 2.2 keyboard, it was accurate and sufficiently responsive, and even have my essential chinese input.
However, after the 2.4 version was released, i updated it, and noted that the browser's bookmark crashes. So i though, why not give EVO Sense 1.6 a try?
Btw, i did not realise any problems with the 2.4 keyboard, so it's probably as good as the 2.2 version.
Then i ran EVO sense 1.6, and i feel that the keyboard is different. Firstly it's the additional arrow buttons below, which is useful, and more like the original HD2's keyboard. Then it also has chinese input.
BUT i experience alot of the "bouncing" problems, if not more than my original HD2 windows rom. tried calibrating a few times, and deleting the calibration, but it doesn't help.
i want to emphasize again i am very grateful to all the developers like M-deejay, Hastarin, for developing all these builds that are effectively working. this is likewise, just my observation.
Anyone else? I can't believe it's just us two!
Videos added to 1st post.
I tried to replicate your problem (m-deejay's Desire HD 3.4) but I coulnd't. I also thinkg that the keyboarad its not as accurate as some of the builds but its not that bad as yours.
I'm sorry to say but the lag with the keyboard kinda looks funny
My keyboard isn't very accurate too. Sometimes it just takes the wrong key. I mean when I press the backslash it takes "m" or something although i was pressing backslash. This was on Hastarin 4.1.
But it really seems to be kernel related. With the r11 my keyboard is okay.
I don't think is caused by the WM ROM, but which one do you use?
have the same prob!
yep...and I get phantom touches also.

Well.. i have the same thing in hastarins latest kernel
I dont have this on DesireZ out the box.
I have MDeejay's latest Desire HD build and have this problem, how do I fix it? If I need to replace the Kernel how do I do it? What side effects will it have?
Thanks in advance
keyboard bounce also experienced by me when i am trying to type fast, using hastrin r7.1 as well, maybe is caused by the touchscreen delay?
have you tried keyboard calibration?
in the setting menu ..
it ask you to type that ..lazy brown fox jumps..
it helps me alot.. well some of it i guess
and also try the schrub bartome build. the keyboard is perfect-iphone like. im using this build for day use
I experience the same issue with the new kernel releases. But with hastarin #3 the touchscreen works normally.

How is the GPS working with Froyo vs. Eclair? - POLL

I tested again with JP6 now and my results are very disappointing! Before with Eclair it was all much better!
JP6: almost impossible to get a fix and always inaccurate
JF3, JM5: fix in 15 seconds and very accurate!
JM7 was slightly worse then JM5 and JF3 in my experiences.
How the hell is that possible? I thought / read that JP6 / JPM is much better with GPS :S
FYI: We say "Worst"
And the title is biaised, you "tell" that the GPS is worst, and ask if we agree... you can only assume that the result will tend in that dirrection.
On the topic, well, since none of those release are "official", I can't realy judge on speculations and pre-release!
But then, I don't have massive issue running JH2... On a 6km run I got about 200m of "distortion", so it's only about 3% margin of error.

That's not a problem with the ROM as much as it is a general problem with the HD2 unfortunately. It only supports 2 points on the screen, and I've found it does that terribly as well.

Because it's working for almost everyone, so it isn't really a 'known problem' as such. What version of the ROM are you on? If you're on 2.1 it'll be a bit shady, but multitouch works as well as it did on Typhoon for me on v2.2 (haven't got round to the 2.3 update yet).

Hmm, try going into the settings>developer options and enabling 'pointer location', then see if both the points are detected. Don't worry if the two points sometimes 'lock together', this is normal for the HD2's outdated screen

I tried this, i can certainly feel the "lock together"-effect. Is that supposed to be normal? If thats a HD2 related problem, how come i havent experienced this before?

As far as I know that's a HD2 problem, yes. You probably have experienced it before, but haven't noticed it because you don't have the visual feedback to show you that it's happening. It doesn't have much of an effect during gaming (surprisingly)
omethek
it is a problem, because any game with a joystick is unplayable.
edit: besides the 'lock together', sometimes when the touch points are close to eachother, they are detected "inversed". is that normal too?
I agree that our device is outdated, but I've never experienced such issues.
I played multitouch games on WP7, Android GB & (Currently) ICS .. Even GTA 3, the movements are precise.
Not sure what you two are facing, but it's definitely not "too-old" related.
The only thing that the HD2 can't do is handling more than two finger points, other than that, everything seems to be fine for me.
There are lockups, but they are rare.

I'm beginning to agree with Marvlesz here, these issues aren't that normal. I've never had the points becoming inversed and I can play games with onscreen 'joysticks' (i.e. GTA3) fine, so I think you might need to take a look at some of those threads with the digitizer issue and check if others are experiencing the same issues.
