Ive noticed a lot of apps list the compass and accelerometer dont work right in 2.3.3 (which i wondered why google sky map wouldnt work right), and it seems 2.3.4 isnt much better for me (sat finder apps are still really jumpy and dont work quite right). Has anyone else noticed this, and has anyone successfully pulled the drivers/libraries for the sensors from an older working version of android and got them to work in 2.3.3/2.3.4?

I installed Google Goggles from the Martket the other day.
Its loads but after going through the first couple of screens it disappears (I guess it minimizes as i dont get any force close message).
Is anyone else having the same issue or is it working for you?
Same issue here im afraid.

It also happened to me, it worked fine until I upgraded it
Same here too.
It was working on mine originally but since I updated something it now fails as you describe.
I was messing about using it with a USB camera which worked fine btw.
I posted about this on Modaco and some ignorant tw**t posted a sarcy reply about why would I want to use it anyway with a front facing camera
Probably doesn't work unless you have a fake location set (like Google Earth).
Tried with fake my location running still not working!
I've been having alot of trouble with my compass lately. Atleast I think its the compass anyway. In Google maps when I use compass mode I can only tilt and look up/down. I can no longer turn. Same thing applies in skymaps. GPS works fine. Tried a compass app, doesn't seem to work either. Could this be a software issue or will I have to rma my unit? I'm running prime 1.7 now but I've had this problem for a month now with multiple roms.
Ideas?

does anybody have problem with google maps compass mod？ my hd2 maps compass mod works good under any 2.3 rom，but compass mod does not work under any 4.0 rom，can anybody help？
I also have the same problem. It would be great if there is a solution.
** Much more detail **
I cannot get the orientation in the Google Maps(v6.3.0) of NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3-CM9 V1.4
But I can track the compass orientation in GPS Status & Toolbox.
Same problem on my Lg-p970 on 2.3 But 2.2 is Good.
Same problem on my Moto RAZR Maxx on4.0.4 but 2.3.5 & 2.3.6 is Good.
I hope i can do something to fix it.
I have a similar problem (with maps ICS) where it shows my location as someplace on the opposite side of my state.. only when connected to wifi. Perhaps you'll have better luck disconnected from wifi... probably not but worth a try. I don't really see the point of these compasses if you are moving the phone will know what direction/ vector you are moving in so whats the point of a sensor they are never completely accurate anyway.. from my experiences at least.
The problem was solved by enabling auto rotation on setting->display->rotation.
You can get a try

Thanks! That helped me.
Hi, I have a problem with the compass on my UMI zero. When I use google maps or any compass app the direction pointed by the arrow is always the same whatever direction i rotate my smartphone at. Only sometimes it points in the right direction but slowly rotating to the same wrong one. What's going on? I tried to install different ROM but the problem was never solved, and at the beginning it was working, i cannot say flawlessly but at least acceptably.
Compass problem
i was facing the same issues as you are with UMI Zero's compass especially on its stock firmware (update 3.10), but i went ahead and got the rom from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...-miumizero-miuiv6-umi-zero-t3050090?nocache=1
and installed the firmware available on it.
i also made sure that all GPS settings were on before using the compass because without it (try using it with the data on for the first few trys), it kept telling me to wave the phone in the shape of an 8 to recalibrate it. it works now much better than before but it is still not completely accurate. i think the problem is within the hardware rather than the software.
Has anyone had problems with the gyroscope in vr applications?
The compass works very slow. And vr applications are not able to move the screen with the movement of the phone.
Any way to calibrate the compass or gyroscope?. Anyone else has happened?

i dont use vr, but a lot gps navigacion,i install gps esencial from play store and its giving me under 20 ft precision mostli al the time, but google maps its get lost a lot, somtimes an error of 1000 to 3000 ft. im thinking is software problem not hardware. other navigators go beter but still get lost somtime. my motorola G first generacion is a crack, never lost.
There is a known issue with the gyroscope being non functional . There is a fix in the latest OTA formware update which came out last night. I've just updated and thingsseem ok.

Make sure you are on the 20161215 firmware release and retest.
