The Compass doesn't work!! - Acer Iconia A500

Hi guys,
The Compass in my A500 Tablet doesn't work completely it always points to one direction even though I rotated and moved the tablet in all direction, please any one can help me to get back my compass working again???

Isn't that the point of a compass to always point in the same direction, namely magnetic north?

No it is not pointing to the correct direction beside this I've an app pointing to few cities such as London, Berlin but now it is not working, I tried another app from playstore and it is only a compass and it is not working too!!
Also I the auto rotation is not working too (accelerometer) :-(

So what custom rom have u installed?

Sorry I'm new to Android world , How can I know my installed ROM?? but I've rooted ICS and if it the image version then it is written in my tablet as:
Acer_AV041_A500_RV05RC01_PA_CUS1

Well there you go. The fact that u rooted the a500 most probably causes your problem with the compass. I am afraid I cant help you in this case. Some of the other guys in the forum may be able to help.

I checked everything after I rooted my device everything was working correctly but the compass issue happened last week and I rooted my device about month ago.

Have a look at my thread here, I think you will find that all the sensors are not working...

Question about gingersense rom

I was wondering if anybody else could answer this for me? Does the GPS work or is it something I'm doing something wrong (what I mean by that is the GPS will not lock on my position but I see my location when I move just no navigation). When I use other roms it works just fine. Thanks in advance cuz

Desire HD camera not working

Hi everyone I need help, I am not a noon to flashing etc. However my camera and camcorder have suddenly stopped working, everytime I open either one it just freezes at a backscreen. I thought it would be a bug in a Rom so I switched but It's not working. Tried everything ...if anyone can help it would be appreciated

If you tried another rom with full wipe and the issue is occurring the next think to do is to flash an ruu file.

Fixed...for now...I switched to stock sense and it wasn't working, I turned my phone off for the night and when I woke up in the morning it was working. Will have to see if its working on other roms, thanx for the tips though

Have you concluded that the fix was leaving your phone off over night? I have the same issue and have tried a few different rom's none of which have fixed it. I was at the point of returning the phone to be repaired.
I guess I'm really asking, did you do anything else? Remove some software, try a specific rom?
It happened to my camera...but that might be due to the fact that the plastic cover in front of the lens has broken orf and the actual camera unit has taken quite a beating! Works now, I went for a run and when I came back it was perfect
Maybe the running jolted it back into position? Try the same thing xD
Could be that you need to go back to stock and make it like it came from the factory. I wonder if overclocking can damage the camera unit?
I just full wiped and went back on the stock rom, turned my phone off and woke up in the morning and the camera was working switched back to other roms and it was working on all of them.. Hopefullly this will work

if you have changed rom and the problem persists chances are it's hardware related. I have seen a dhd with similar problems, aswell as wifi problems and it was due to overheating. If you took out the battery it would work for a few hours but then it would do the same
Anyone still having any camera problems??

Im having this problem as well. Exactly like the OP. Not too keen on flashing back to stock rom however.
I did see someone mentioning problems with wifi in conjunction with the camera problem. I have this as well.
Anyone with a fix would be greatly appreciated

Need help/Htccontacts process crash

Everytime when I hit on People the process crashes and I can't do anything which using this process.
I mentioned it disappeared when I was using the phone in HD mode what probably make sense it collisions with other process or program but I don't know which 1 can interfere this situation.
Maybe someone here encounter with the same issue and found any elegant solution ?
Thanks in advance for any ideas !

Have you installed google+ especially the leakedversion from iscream sandwich version.
Awesome man you got it
Most appreciate for your help
I uninstalled Google+ and it solved the issue !
Really great.
But awkward Google's market suggested me to update it if it's corresponding with my source.
Anyway thanks again !

This solved the problem, but know I can't use Google+ anymore. Because I needed the new version for using it with my Google Apps account.
Anyone a solution for both problems?
I unstalled the new version in the market. This solved my problem.

accelerometer is reversed

Running lc ics 8.4 but my accelerometer is working weirdly. When i have it in landscape mode it is reversed.

Im wondering if it is a hardware issue or kernel issue
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Flash a differentstablr gb rom. That will let you know if its harware.
Sent from a dream.
Look for z-device or some other programm showing you the acceleromter-readings in the playstore.
Look at the readings, backup rom, flash another kernel or rom, and look what it then shows.
Thats what i would do, if i wasn`t sure if it is a hardwarefault.
Should be unlikely, when it worked on another rom before.
Theres maybe a more elegant way to test or fix this, but at least you have a answer
Edit: mahh was to slow.......
Did some tests with the sensors and two axis are unresponsive. Is there a way to reset the sensors?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Ok the good news is its isnt hardware related issue as i tested with arhd and it works on there so it has to be software related then

Reinstalled 8.4 clean and it works again. Must have been the system
