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

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?

I got my N10 about a week ago. Updated to 4.3, unlocked & rooted, still running stock ROM. When I run GPS Status, it gets a GPS lock pretty quickly however the compass doesn't work. It just points forward with no orientation or pitch/roll. I installed another compass app that I've used before & that doesn't work either. Is this happening for anyone else? I'm concerned it could be a hardware issue, but I did notice that when I use Google Maps, the compass seems to work and the orientation is fairly accurate. Google Sky Map works as well.
I've restarted the device several times. I've uninstalled/reinstalled GPS Status. I've wiped cache/dalvik. I want to assume it's just a app bug, but I haven't seen anyone else reporting it. And the app was updated just last week.
Anyone else have this issue? Any suggestion on other ways to test my N10 to rule out that it's a hardware issue?

I have the same problem on my Nexus 10. Upgraded to 4.3, device not rooted just stock. Have you found an answer?

No I haven't. Even emailed the developer but never got a reply. However I discovered that if I go to Menu > Radar, the compass will release & rotate. Switch back to Status & it continues to work, at least until you close and restart the app. Hopefully if enough people report this, an update will fix it.

Thanks for your help. That works OK until you restart the app or reboot. At least I have a working fix and I'll put a comment on the developers web site. The app works fine on my Samsung S4 - maybe its a 4.3 related problem.
Thanks again.
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.
Hi there my GPS was very quick under Kitkat with immediate fix and perfect compass. Under Stock Lollipop it still worked well enough. Since I use [5.0.2][D802] Google Edition 1.5 my compass doesn't work anymore and GPS doesn't fix at all or takes 10 minutes shows wrong location and looses signal again
I don't know whether the problem is the ROM or that my phone fell down hundreds of times.
Anyway I already tried the apps fasterGPS, gpsStatus and TopNTP without success and did the cardboard mod hardware wise.
Please help I want to play Pokemon Go
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.
