My compass works in Zdevice test, but not in certain apps (Though it used to) - it doesn't work when I press compass button in Maps and doesn't work in compass specific apps. It DOES work in Yelp monocle.
Any ideas? I've fixed permissions, done clean installs, everything.
One bump before I give up on this. (don't really use compass mode that much, but would be nice to fix)
Try gps status app. It has a compass calibration tool that will tell you to rotate the phone 2-3 times on each axis. Fixed my wonky readings I had.

Just downloaded that - compass doesnt respond at all in that app. It only seems to respond in ZDeviceTest.
It seems like the majority of apps aren't able to "talk" to the compass sensor, but for whatever reason ZDeviceTest can.
Update: I just downloaded "smart compass" and it works fine - Maps will still not enter Compass view. SO CONFUSED

My compass and GPS have always worked with the different ROMs and kernels I've tried. I was running MIUIWiz and I think the compass has worked since I flashed it but now my compass has quit working. It'll show on the screen but will not spin to show direction. I tried all the settings with no luck. I flashed ComRom with OTB kernel thinking it was maybe something with that but still no luck. We do alot of hiking and I would love for the compass to work. The GPS works great just no compass. Any suggestions or recommendations? Thanks
An interesting thing is that I also lost auto-rotation of the screen. Even if auto-rotate is on it still won't rotate on any screen with any app. I've been using Go Launcher but tried others and still won't work. I don't know if compass sensors and sensors that activate auto rotate if related but neither work. Any suggestions?
They are different sensors.
Try downloading GPS Status and calibrating your compass (under the tools menu). If that doesn't work, try downloading a metal detector app and see if you get any response. If you're getting no reading at all, then it may be a hardware failure. If the reading is there but off, it may be a calibration issue.
A temporary revert to stock EB01 fixed this issue for me, see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038519
If you're having rotate problems, with adb or root explorer, delete m3c_sensor.cfg I think from /data/system and then toggle auto rotate. That should fix your problems.

MUIU rocks... i love this rom! However, anyone know of a way to configure the compass in this rom? it seems to partially work, for the most part, the accelometer takes over.... if you load a compass or app that uses it, it will face north where ever your phone is tilted up(ex, if you hold the phone level then elevate the bottom of the phone where touch sensitive buttions are... the compass will think that is north..... at first you would think its just plain broken and that it is only useing the accelometer, but if you take a magnet and put it near the phone, the compass will change direction by the magnet... so it seems to me that there are 2 inputs being activated here... with the most prominent being the accolemeter
is this a driver issue or is there any known way to hack/calibrate this?
there are several apps that depend on the compass to work properly(star charts/ google sky ect..)
i really dont want to flast back to 2.2....
Flip it up and down a few times.

interesting. a few things that i've noticed others having: cant turn off the power saver notification option in settings/apps/power. some are having wifi connectivity issues (possible fix: uncheck DLNA from settings/wifi/advanced). some are having graphic issues with the stock keyboard (possible fixes: 3+ power cycles, rotate from portrait-landscape-portrait, change keyboard type then change it back)
The screen won't come back on (without me hitting power) when pulling the phone away from my face while on a call.

Yeah you are correct. HTC for some reason decided to make you have to pinch the notification to expand it and compress it...

So the MMS apk in the 1.22 version of ICS did the toggle where if I send a picture while connected to WiFi, the 3g data will kick on briefly while still connected to WiFi, send the pic, then toggle 3g back off. In the 2.13 version and this new 3.15 version, it doesn't do that. Like, ill be connected to WiFi and try sending a pic and the 3g data will not toggle on in the background. I have to manual turn WiFi off, wait for data to toggle on, send the pic, then turn WiFi back on and that's a long annoying process.

[ANNOYANCE] Missing speech to text (microphone) on keyboards (i know this was probably an intentional design change, but i hate it, why would you remove functionality that worked perfectly, yes i know you can do it via the Now app, but having to jump out of messaging/conversation to go to another app to quickly respond with voice is ridiculous) did anyone else notice it's still in the dialer app for searching contacts though?
[ANNOYANCE] No scrolling wallpaper option (not a big deal because it really doesn't buy you anything. but other launchers give you the option to lock it or wrap it)
[BUG] Proximity sensor wile making calls; when dialing with phone away from face the screen instantly goes dark, won't come back on until power button press.
[BUG] Light sensor; capacitive buttons don't light like they should. If light is dim enough that i can't see them yet bright enough that the phone disagrees i have to cover the sensor with my thumb to trick it into lighting them.
[BUG] Graphical glitches; probably a unique thing, but my battery widget has a button to view desktop (wallpaper) unobstructed, when returning from that the screen now goes wonky/staticky for a second, quite likely the widget though
[BUG] Graphical glitches; in maps i found that zooming in and out on the satellite view caused a bunch of annoying flickers. maybe a localized thing, i wiped cache and dalvik from recovery and that seems to have corrected for now.
[ANNOYANCE] Bookmarks widget can no longer be resized. This is obviously an HTC/Sense thing but it seriously changed the size of the widget on one of my screens and was letting it lay overtop of other widgets and app icons. There's the "Internet" widget that's a smaller size but it seems to never take a break. I use Firefox exclusively for my browser but in my power stats "Internet" was far and away the biggest battery hog on my phone. I must constantly be updating the screenshots of the pages it lists.
Also, the HTC sense input keyboard is all wacky! Doesn't work!

That used to happen to me...now it works. I really don't know what was going on with that...
One bug I'm seeing and idk if it's been mentioned
If you calibrate the keyboard and then use it, there will be some tearing and the keyboard will just look messed up overall
Also, the lockscreen doesn't have it's on set keyboard. So if you set a pin with the default HTC Sense keyboard you're pin lockscreen will use that number keyboard. But if you use SwiftKey, you get that number keyboard.
I don't think I remember ICS being like this
Is there a workaround or fix to the proximity sensor issue when using CyanogenMod 10.1? It doesn't matter which dialer I use, my screen goes blank and I can't get it back on to use the keypad or hang up.
Thanks in advance.

If you are using a screen protector, there is a known issue regarding placement. If the protector cutout is too close to the sensor, it will interfere with the proper operation of the sensor and blank out the screen too easily.
I ran into a similar issue, turns out the tinting on the screen for the sensors had gotten dirty inside and I had to disassemble my phone and clean the sensor Windows. However if you don't like the idea of disassembling your phone, the HTC rezound proximity calibrator app on Google play might be helpful to you. I would try the app first before doing something more extreme.

I don't have a screen protector. This solved it for me. Many thanks.
That said, the settings I'm using are a little weird. I have the Low set to 81, and it doesn't seem to matter what the High is set to (currently 100).
This fix works

this totally worked to fixed this same issue I have had. I used to have to go outside on a sunny day for my screen to come on while making a phone call. Once I used this app I was able to get it to come on in a dark room with hardly any light. I may at some point open her up and actually clean the inside of the sensor cover, but for now this worked like a charm.
Thanks for the tip.
One item to note, if you do decide to open your phone and clean the sensor windows, don't clean too aggressively or you will remove the tint from the backside of the glass. Just a tip.
I'm glad you guys have gotten your sensors working again.
I just had this problem today. Previously I never had issues with prox sensor, but just a couple days ago I did a complete wipe (data, cache, dalvik, system and internal SD card) and installed RC1 with a fresh install. The app mentioned above DID fix my issue however I know its a ghetto fix. Before running the app, the proximity sensor would work normally in good light, but not in low light. After running the app it works even in dark light which is great. However, I know its a weird fix. I can actually see the red proximity sensor during calls, when I couldn't previously. I'm glad I got it working, but I know there is something wrong still, and it's definitely ROM related as opposed to hardware because just 2 days earlier it worked fine before the clean install. Hmm..

I can't get maps to auto rotate once in navigation. It will rotate in the app when looking at the map, but once in nav it will stick to whatever orientation it was in when I started nav.
Anyone else? Never had this problem on any other device or rom.

Your right it doesn't...although you can have it in landscape prior to going into navigation mode and it'll run in landscape.
The op2 went through this same issue. I'd think they would have learned then.

He is talking about navigation mode...like when you click that blue arrow and Google has turn directions. When you start navigation either in portrait or landscape its stuck in that position.
Edit: did get this wrong...
The OP was talking about the display orientation, I thought it was about the rotation of the map, so forget what I was writing...
osmand has got 3 rotation modes: North always on top, rotate according to compass, rotate according to driving directions.
All modes work fine on my oneplus x.
Although for compass mode the compass has to be calibrated for this mode to work. Drawing some 8 in the air with the phone will do the trick.
But this has to be done on other phones as well (compass calibration).
