right i was doing some benchmarking of the new firmware (2.3.20) and i clicked system information in quadrant and at the botom under sensors it states an accelerometer, archos compass and archos magnetic field. does anyone have any idea on how and where these are used? thankyou for your help
These captor are virtual, simulated for Android to work, that's all ^^
ah dissapointing :/ thankyou for you help
Unfortunately, none of the Archos Gen8 devices have magnetic compass/gps capabilities (I think you can install a bluetooth one though). I was pretty disappointed when I found out why the metal detector app wasn't working.
Yes, bluetooth GPSs work fine - I use one, but I don't think any of them include a compass, unfortunately. Google sky maps would be awesome on a tablet.
When you start Sensor List and put near device strong magnet - compass data begin change ...
i get readings from the compass using the sensor list app, nothing from the magnetic field though :/
I get no change moving a strong magnet all over my 101.
But they are sending some of the accelerometer data to the simulated compass for some reason. Probably useless.
Hi All,
I'm running the latest SmOoTher_BeAn mod and love how much more responsive my gTab is. I do have a problem getting my bluetooth GPS receiver to work. It is properly paired but my nav app (Sygic) doesn't seem to recognize it. I then sideloaded the BluetoothGPSProvider.apk which worked on a previous TeamDRH ICS install but it doesn't work on JB. Any ideas on how I can get my GPS receiver to work?
Thanks,

Anyone?
Hi, i have a problem with Gps in Endomondo. There is still Gps looking... I use Android 4.4.2... C:geo, app for geocaching is working perfect. Does anybody same problem? Thank you
Hi,
I've tried many ROMS (Stock, modified) but I cannot make GPS working. I cant get even 1 satelite working in GPS Test app. Can somebody help how to debug/troubleshoot gps receiver? I need to know if its hardware issue or not.
Thanks
Figure since it's meant for outdoors it would have a magnetometer for compass apps. I've heard it both ways so far. Can somebody confirm that the app Bearing or any other compass app works with this watch?
NOT CompassX app, by the way, as it uses gyroscope/accelerometers to gauge direction, which isn't at all accurate.
Does not have a sensor for magnetic field. You can get compass via gps bearing wich sucks
