Hello, I just bought samsung s5 which have updatet to lollipop, but whatever the barometric sensor is not working right it doesn't matter which application I install all are showing way off, I have atachet photo to compare my samsung with lg d-682.
On lg works fine, but my samsung is showing the pressure for 81Hpa less than it should be and that is huge.
Can someone help me with this, because thi future is kind of important for me, Thanks ,Luka
what nobody knows the problem?

Very interesting,
I don't have another phone to compare with as you, but my local weather conditions days that should read around 1019 hPa, but my phone reads 884 hPa, so it seems off on mine.

and what is you altitude?
I was in a store and there compared to note4 s5 and s4 and all were showing allmost the same hpa with abou 10-20hpa difference. so this should be like that.
exept if you type *#0*# and go to sensor and then to compass section and it says on compass that it need calibration, does anyone know how to do that?
Thanks,Luka

There are Nothing wrong with the device!
You need to do some setting on your GAME's control to enable the functions! DUDE...

I have tried all setting.still cant stear.i used stl viewer to check sensor.it seems sensor need calibration.i tried to calibrate in settings but that blue dot wont move in gyro even if i move devuce.here is a snap shot from stl viewer while phone in flat surface sitting striaght.i check the setting using *#0*# everything seem to be working.also when i try to play airpenguins the cartoon goes in water before i even move the device.no control at all.i dont play that many games.but my daughter is 6 years old she plays. My infuse did not have any issue like that.
Anyone else who has an N900W8 have weird compass issues? It sometimes doesn't rotate or does not align properly.
Strange issue on my Note 2's compass too, sometimes does not calibrate properly, AND is running 4.3 but on AOSP. Is there a build problem/Samsung problem? Or is it hardware and I have to get it changed?

Nope, after a day of usage, it just locks into a position when I rotate my phone on a horizontal plane. If i tilt my phone left right forward and backwards the compass moves.
To calibrate it, I have to shake my device hard and spin it like I am opening a door knob many times. Then the compass will work perfectly.
Anyone have this issue? N900W8. Is this normal to calibrate a device? Is this a recurrent issue amongst users?
No one has this problem? Will I have to take it back for a replacement? It still works, after a rigorous shake, but is this calibration abnormal or not? Will there be a possibility that a software update could fix this?
I have kinda a similar problem, in maps if I'm using navigation the arrow doesn't align correctly to the direction I'm going, not much of a problem.don't know if it's related to the GPS or the compass in my case

Can I safe to say that there is an existing Compass Bug in the software and not have to replace it? I will be uploading a video soon.

Hello,
I have had the same problem. The solution is so simple:
1- dial *#0*#
2- choose sensor
3- here you will find that the status of your magnetic sensor is: "need to calibrate". So you wave your note 3 in 8 patterns for one or two times
4- and here we go, the sensor status now is calibrated and your problem is solved
P.S.: if you have a problem with *#0*# you can use any compass application or google maps, and then you continue with 3 and 4.
Hope that it helps you
Hi Kaderoid,
That's not really a calibration method, but thanks for your help. My device just spins and spins and spins no matter how I much I try to calibrate it. The only way I can fix it is by rebooting.
That's the difference, and plus magnetic interference happens too often it seems like it's a hardware issue.
Sent from my fingers to your face using my Samsung Galaxy Note 3!
So, do we have a solution or a fix to this issue? My Note 3 has the same issue.
I had the same problems, display didn't rotate, after a couple of days it seems fixed, but now doesn't rotate again.
I'm Italian, I'm hope that the English is enough good
Hello,
I had some issues with my Compass. When using GMaps it was not pointing in the right direction. I changed my device and the new device has the same issue unless I calibrate it. Once calibrated it works perfectly. I guess your device is having a hardware issue. Get a replacement.
I have the same issue on 2 Notes 3. I also had it on 2 of my previous HTCs. I think it happened after GMap update a few months back.

when you enter *#0*# and compass arrow is red just do some spins with phone. It turns green and compass works proper
This is calibration method
I did this, and my whole screen went green for a bit and the phone vibrated, the compass however has a blue line with 3 under it.

If it went green your phone's proximity sensor was triggered either by an object close to the top of your phone.
3 means it is calibrated at sensor level 3
I have a similar issue. If I restart my phone I have to recalibrate the compass. Once calibrated it works fine though.

I have the exact same issue. Sometimes I will calibrate it and it will fix it. If the phone has to reboot it will not work again.
Using GPS Status & Toolbox, the compass was "locked" in the wrong direction.
So I rotated around and as soon as North indicator was actually pointing North, it seemed to lock-on and was working fine (without performing a calibration).
Weird and I hope it gets fixed in the next update.
I started a thread before, but found out it could be a software problem as a lot of demo units' compasses don't work all the time.
S4 has this problem too.
I have the N900W8 device, if that makes a difference.
Fill the poll out above to answer ^, or just comment down below.
Same problem here

Hi, nicholaschum.
I've the same problem. Mi phone is a N9005 (europe free note 3).
I agree that is a software problem, as if you calibrate the compass sensor (*#0*#) it runs without problem until I restart the phone.
I've also tested several demo units at a samsung store and all of them (galaxy s4, note 3, s4 mini) presented the same problem.
The technical service guy told me that they can change the motherboard of the phone, but I doubt that itgonna fix the problem.
There is a lot of threads, here on XDA, but also in other forums reportinf the same problem on several samsung devices...but unfortunately without solutions.
I'm very pessimistic about this problem, due to that we're more concerned about getting new versions of android instead of get this kind of issues fixed.
Sorry for my english!
Mine's accurate in Smart Tools. DBT N9005 4.4.2 NB7
The calibration does seem to get lost upon a reboot, but you do not have to go into the service menu to recalibrate it.
When you are in google maps, simply rotate your wrist (not your arm). Rotate your wrist around and around about 3-4 times (no need for anything more than this so only takes 5 seconds). And then I find everything works just fine.
You shouldn't have to do that after every reboot, but its not too bad if you realise you don't need to go into the service menu and the right movement to recalibrate it quickly.
Hey all, have a few issues I am hoping to get figured out.
First, I am wondering if there is a way to re-calibrate the screen/tablet? When I take a picture, the tablet needs to be at about a 5-10* angle for the picture to be level.
Next, I know there have been quite a few GPS issues, but are there any "fixes" yet? I have downloaded and installed GPS test and I can get a lock after about 3 or 4 minutes, but Maps has NEVER found my location. The little GPS icon on the top left corner shows it is on and "locked" (not flashing), yet Maps always says "waiting for location" It never finds me though. It has been this way since I bought it.
Brew
no one else is having gps problems? I know many posted about them when the tablet first came out, surprised no one else is still having the problem. Maps still doesn't ever work for me. Never does find my location.
Next, I think the camera itself is not set correctly. When I use the level feature of the camera, the table shows level, but the picture itself is way off. Like the camera itself is twisted in the opening.
Don't have any problems with the camera, works fine for me.
GPS isn't really working for anybody - for some it helped to go outside and let it get the first fix. after that it works much better - for example for me.
but compass is still not usable =)
Thanks, I did a complete wipe last night and now maps will at least acknowledge that I exist. The camera is definitely installed crooked.
The Tegra Note has eight magnets in it, I'm not sure the compass will ever work properly

Been playing with my new toy, one of the reasons I picked this was the compass, I like the idea and one works well on my phone. Also have an interest in the night sky - but google sky map and sky safari type apps cannot figure out what direction to show, I was starting to think the magnets were a problem, quite good magnets - I can stick the tab to the fridge !! guess I will have to live without this function until my next tablet.
Magnets have anything to do with the speakers ? anybody know.

I'd noticed that the compass is problematic too. I guess it would be possible to open it up and pop them out, but I'm not brave enough to try.

Had those thoughts to........ may give it a go when the tab is old and not quite so loved, just popped the back off a semi bricked pipo m7pro, can see the edge of the screen now and the switches don't sit properly.
Google sky map not so bad last night, just a quick test but it seemed to find its way around the sky, big moon found easy etc, still jumpy if you know what I mean. And the compass sometimes works - but seems to be 15deg off from my smartphone, need to get a propper compass and check then out!
Camera too
I have the same camera issue on my son's TN7 and my brand-new TN7 I got this week. Rear camera is tilted by about 10 degrees (checked with a real spirit level). Messes up some apps that need the device to be straight and use the camera.
Anyone else got this problem? Front camera is fine.
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.
