Maclaw CM11 compass bug? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, anyone is having problems with compass, it's weird because GPS is working just fine, but compass app's don't point north. Any workarounds?
It's the only bug I have in this amazing room, and I need it for geocaching

Yes I am having the same problem and it seems to be on all cm11 based roms.
The official geocaching app seems to work OK but I don't like that app much. C:geo is a far better app but as you say the compass function doesn't work on cm11. To be fair this is most likely an issue with the app rather than with the rom.
C:geo works fine for me on Maclaw's cm10.2 which is pretty much a flawless rom and one I'm totally happy to stay with.

I actually use another app for the compass, GPS status, and it doesn't work

No you're right it doesn't.
Smart compass does though.

There is a beta for GPS status & toolbox (atm 4.3.85) which does work with CM11.

There are hacked Maps with Navigation everywhere in xda. Just Google something like "maps navigation xda" and I am sure it will appear.

OKay, i found hacked maps, but i would need a root for that

Same here... but...
IGO My Way (cracked) with Regio Estonian map works fine.
Also you can try CoPilot, Navigon, Sygic... cracked/keygened versions avalible from forum.mobilism.org
I.M.O. Sygic 11.0.1 is the best navigation for Android. It uses 3D acceleration (PowerVR SGX 530 in O.B.) and runs pretty fast.
Thanks, i found free Sygic from forum.mobilism.org ... works great

Sygic is really great. Only bad thing I could say about it is how fast it eats battery.
Yea the battery drains fast but i'll always have my usb carcharger with me
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App
I love how sygic moves and behaves as well, however, their coverage of my country is beyond terrible. Any clue if there's a way to include older maps (such as Sygic Aura 2) in the new Aura 3 (11.0.2) version?

[Q] magnetic field calibration in cm7

hi, i am using cm7 nightly. in stock rom *#0*# works to get a menu where these calibration things are. but in cm7 its not working. my compass is not working right. can any one tell me how fix it?
You don't need a software to calibrate it. Just draw 8 on air with your phone a few times when you wan to use compass. It works perfectly for me.

the 2205
just installed the 2805 and the nfc patch works. gps still finds about 10 satteleites but never gets a fix.
how does your display look in the dark with low brightness setting? do you also have some vertical stripes (darker and brighter)?

Now it works

Omnirom problem!

This ROM is the best I have tested. The only big problem is that sometimes I can not turn off the mobile internet after using wifi, which makes it impossible to use. Someone can tell me something about this? And stable version? For when? I really wanted to use this software ... is a maximum. Greetings to all

If you read Omni thread, you would know that this issue is being discussed. Fix will be available within one or two nightlies.

This problem should be fixed now (with this commit DcTrackerBase: Dont provision APN if default is disconnecting) on 2014-03-19 build, just try it, it's available.
