How do I calibrate the compass on this thing? Mine is all ovr the place.

Mine stinks too. I have never figured it out.
Compass app -> Settings -> Calibrate. Figure-8 the phone as shown until the dialog box disappears. Doing this when no one is around will limit embarrassment.

Since I purchased the phone layar has not worked. Each time I go to run it at the bottom it says updating featured.....it just sits there. Anyone else seeing this issue?

Haven't had the problem myself. Assuming you've already power cycled, try clearing the application data (settings> manage applications> layer> clear data.) Then force stop.
If it doesn't show up in the list goto menu> filter> all.
If it still isn't working and you care enough to trouble shoot further, you can try a master reset or take out back to the store, though the above should fix it...

I've had this happen once or twice. I just blame the GPS and try again later.
Install GPS Status or GPS Test (I prefer the former) and check how many sats you have locked in.
I just did a factory reset...mainly because I'm over the original excitement and wanted to get rid of any apps I don't really need...
Now when I turn on my gps it keeps showing in my notification bar that it's searching....I'm using the system app and I don't see any apps active that would be using it...it's really bothering me and I was just wondering why it might be searching??

I kind of noticed that also. I figured somehow if we kill all running app and I would receive a txt message some how att navigator would open itself. If my gps was on it would start searching.... Maybe you have the same o problem?

I noticed that as well, and I have no idea what was using it.
Did you turn "use wireless networks" back on in your location settings? I've found that if I don't, the GPS will keep trying to get a lock for any program that uses your location (weather widgets, etc) and won't be able to. So it will keep running and drain the battery really fast.
I have been trying for the better part of an hour to change my Google Now default weather to Fahrenheit. I've of course followed all the Google instructions and online help. It just doesn't seem to stick. I go into Google now click the bubble above the temperature card in the weather card and set to Fahrenheit as default. Then double check to be sure the system language settings are default U.S. But then when I turn off G-Now the settings go back to Celsius. This is driving me nuts. I'm stock vanilla and rooted. Anyone else experience this?

Have you tried searching for your particular problem? Someone else had the exact same problem... maybe there's something helpful in that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226752
Edit:
So I tried to replicate your problem. I went and disabled my Google Now, and searched for "what's the temperature". It defaults to using Celcius! However, when I enable Google Now and choose Fahrenheit as the units, both the weather card and the search results show temperature in Fahrenheit. If I choose the weather units as C, then both the card and the search result displays temperature in C. You might just have to keep Google Now enabled...
The latest Google Now is broken. There is a Google groups thread about changes to sports teams not sticking. This sounds like it might be related. Google is looking into the sports problem.

Great, well hopefully it will get fixed. Terribly annoying. AWFUL. The other part had no help right now. Same issue... It used to work on another phone I had it ported over to my Galaxy SII.

On the weather screen after a weather query there is a small C and F. The F should be blue, just press it.http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I use Google Now quite often but when I woke up this morning, swiping up from the bottom of the screen no longer does anything. I don't remember turning Now off and can't seem to find the settings to turn it back on.
Does anyone know how to turn it back on?

do you still have google now installed? is the search app working?
No now that I looked the Google search bar is missing as well. I looked in settings>apps>all and can't find it to enable it, not that I ever disabled it anyway.

okay, click on this link from your n7 and use the play store app. does it say installed or not? https://play.google.com/store/apps/...nbGUuYW5kcm9pZC5nb29nbGVxdWlja3NlYXJjaGJveCJd
That worked. It was disabled and I needed to enable it. I don't know how it got disabled but its fixed now. Thanks for the help

I have the same problem but when I go into settings, I don't see the toggle key to enable/disable Google now.
My GPS keeps turning on randomly. I have location services and such turned off, but they keep turning back on. Anyone know what's causing it, or how I could track down if an app is doing it?

Thanks Christ for create this thread as I am about to post the same question.
It has happened in the last couple days. I wouldn't say 100% but surely 98% every time I turn the screen on, there is "searching for GPS" pops up.
It keeps running for from a few seconds to minute then turns back off.
Yes, I DID set to disable GPS.
Does anyway we can figure out which app is actually searching for GPS, gurus?
Facebook does for me and I don't know how to prevent that **** from doing so.

Just disable Location in FB/Messenger app.

How do you know it's the FB?
It used to search for gps whenever I received a Facebook notification. It might not be the same issues for you. What about the weather widget?
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
I don't set any notification ON and FB isn't running at all.
I suspect the G+ but don't know for sure.
Weather widget is not a culprit.
For me, it was Carrier IQ. Once I disabled that, my random GPS wakes stopped.

Sounds reasonable but I do have CIQ enable from day one w/o any issue.
It just happens in the last couple of days. Maybe 2014 isn't the year for me?
Maybe GSam Battery Monitor can help pinpoint which app is causing the GPS wakes. Or Wakelock Detector.
I also have been noticing the location icon popping up on my status bar every now and then. I cant find what app is triggering it. I dont see cIQ in my application manager to disable it...

Running Applications > Android System > IQ Agent Service. Hit stop there and then hit stop for Android System. You'll have to do that at each boot unless you're rooted. If you're rooted, you can use System Tuner.
Here's my shots.
This is probably directly related to the issue or NOT.
Clearly, Location Manager Service goes crazy.
What it is is yet to figure out.
At one point, I saw Google Messaging Service kicked on so I turned off Hangouts SMS feature and along with a reboot, my battery is now better but the "searching for GPS " still pops up.
Is location services turned off also in Google Settings and Maps?

Absolutely YES
Those photos... completely baffling. Wow. My guess would be all the recommendations above and going through all apps requiring location and disabling it.
Could try Greenify. I use it. It hibernates apps so they won't run until you tell them to
