I've got an issue with every Rom, my compass is a bit crooked and no calibration I've used fixes it, is just a tiny bit to the left but it ruins some apps usage, ashore knows how to fix this?

Not sure if I made myself clear so here is a screenshot, the phone is lying on a perfectly leveled surface
Anyone thinks it could be a hardware issue?
Best regards

Hi guys, I was playing Hungry sharks evolution and ingame I calibrated my motion sensor, but something went wrong and now the screen never rotates, I can't find the option for sensor calibration in the settings + can't fix it even ingame.

Not sure what helped, but the phone fixed itself! Thanks anyways

It's a bug, Galaxy S3 has it too so we're not the only ones.
They are annoying the hell out of me. Is it just mine or it's a bug. But pretty frequently I won't be able to use one of the two buttons when in an app. I do have a screen protector but Idk if that plays a major role in it or not.

Anyone having issues with the compass uncalibrating after a reboot is this a known issue?

Me too. Either of you guys rooted? I used the initial method, using MI1... I don't remember it happening before. I'm downloading MI9 now to see if it was fixed.
Also, how is your GPS navigation? Mine's just awful. Jumping around all over the place. There's a couple of threads for that already, and I don't want to hijack the thead. Just wondering if the two could be related?
I'm rooted mi1 --> mi9 rdlvega

My gps is fine on locking but the compass is seriously off and I need to calibrate it every time I reboot even then it's not as accurate as my s3 I'm rooted mi9 this issue occurred even without root

Ok. MI9 fixed my GPS issues. Night and day. Google navigation was almost unusable. Always jumping to different streets, slow refresh rate, etc. My compass performance is also MUCH better. But still has a few issues. I'm using the smart compass app from the store. Upon reboot, it typically measures magnetic field strength at ~230uT (red text). At this point the reading is just garbage. Jumps all over the place. After a few minutes/seconds (might just be motion recalibrating compass), the reading jumps back down to ~40 uT (green text). At this point, it's actually usable, although sometimes off by as much as 20-30 degrees.
You guys using s view covers?

Nope. Bare Nekid!

I thought it was just mine. Compass/accelerometer is a bit jumpy too. I notice it most in Sky Map+.
I had same issue naked with field compass pro but I read on another thread that it was specifically cause of s view cover.

Kept telling me to recalibrate but it would not calibrate no matter how many figure 8s I made. Lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium HD app
The Compass issues have nothing to do with S-Cover. I had them, too, when I first bought the phone. There were reports of this problem with the S4, too, IIRC. You have to calibrate your sensors using a program like GPS Status. It's a sightly more involved process than just doing the figure 8 thing -- but not much.
I'll give it a try now.

Hi,
I see that the sensors are draining my battery, is it possible to turn turn them off? Especially the accelerator sensor (i don't use this ) and the proximity sensor, where is this sensor for?
Thank you!
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Could you please provide the name of the app so I can download it and test for myself, it doesn't look like those sensors should be using that much power, especially when in idle, do you have shake to wake and auto brightness on? Unless there's another App involved, those are the likely reasons
Edit
NM, android tuner, got it and testing now

Alright, it's definitely an app you've installed or rom/kernel set up that's causing that, try out gsam on the play store, that may come up with a way to find the app/s causing the accelerometer and light sensors to consume that amount of power. It might even show you how to manage it good luck

Thanks for the information! I'm using autobrightness and pocket detection, maybe the problem is with the pocket detection?

Looks like it is the pocket detection, try wiping cache, dalvik cache and reflashing elemental x kernel again. See how that goes, if it still uses the sensors too much, try reinstalling elemental again but decrease the sensitivity of the sensors a little. Play around with it and see what happens, pretty safe hope it works for you
