[Q] hot to get the digital compass working - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
I have a MTK6577, Z-sensor shows me I have the digital compass in my phone, but every compass app or google sky map doesn't work. The needle compass is not moving at all and google sky map do a mess...moving everywhere like crazy. I tried to perform 8 in air with the phone and the 3 axis rotation but still no response from the compass...it means it is hardware broken? Can I try something else?
Thanks...

Tilting google maps?

Hi all!
I have xperia X8 with MiniCM6 2.2.1 installed on it. I wonder is titlting the map possible in google maps on this device. A friend of mine have X Neo and i know that tilting is possible with two fingers gesture. But for X10 i know that tilting is possible by tapping compass icon 2 times. In X8 it's also not working. So is there a way to tilt the map or not. Version of google maps is 5.10 from android market.
Thank you very much in advance.
Problem solved. It was in the OS probably. I installed Floyo v0.25 and now everything is fine.

anyone else having problems with pokemon go? (gps, gyroscope)

I never have had any problems using the phone gps on my car with maps but man my gps is really imprecise while walking and playing pokemon. My character is often stuck or randomly walks even if I'm perfectly still. AR doesn't work at all but I read this is because this phone doesn't have gyro (it was a 2015 $300 device and no gyro?? c'mon..). I'm starting to wonder if my gps is faulty. I don't have covers on my phone, already set high accuracy gps in settings and I already reflashed the firmware then factory reset and is still the same.
Do you have any problems with this? I know pokemon go is still pretty buggy but everyone I know is playing it without these major problems. Also, how amazon warranty works if I bought the phone from amazon.fr but I live in Italy?
Pokemon go
Sony M4 doesnt have gyroscope it forces me to use ar to that is the reason and gyroscope can't be added and i had gps problem and turned off fake location in developer setings and evrything is ok now (and sry for my bad eng)
Don't worry I'm not native english either.
So your gps works fine. Uhm... Mine may be faulty then. As I said, it registers movements but it's really really imprecise, the character stutters etc.
Did you install Pokémon Go from Google Play Store?
Does Location work well while used with Google Maps, Garmin, Facebook Messenger, etc?
i have same problem with my sony m4
My GPS works completely fine.
Sony Xperia Aqua m4 here
GPS works fine, no problem with other apps. With Pokémon Go it does happen what you describe, but I think that might be a problem with the phone's processing unit, not the GPS. In my case, the avatar may not move at all and suddenly run to the right position, or walk randomly while I'm just standing. Sometimes that's cool because it reaches pokestops I'm not even close to, haha. But yeah, in general terms it's mostly a pain in the ass.

Gyroscope orientation detection is bit delayed

Hi,
Response of gyroscope to rotation/orientation is bit delayed and lagging. You will not feel it unless you play games on this device. For instance pubg with gyroscope on in pubg setting, it changes orientation with your movement after some lag and that's very frustrating. If you want to check it quickly whether this problem is there in your set or not without actually playing the game you can open compass app of this device and try to change orientation of phone rapidly, you'll see it moves its compass needles with small amount of delay i.e. it doesn't change with your motion instantly. Can you please provide any workaround for this?
Thanks,
Anuj
An easy way to test this is to run a 360° video on YouTube. It's quite frustrating.
Hope someone provides a workaround soon.
Turn off auto/adaptive brightness. It should now work smoothly. Same was happening with me, gyro lag and kind of bit delay. Even I tried resetting the phone but no luck. And finally I found the solution by turning off auto brightness and it works smoothly.
very sorry to say but Gyro is a Hardware issue. it cant be solved
Well yeah, I think all realme phones have this issue.
I'm using realme 3 Pro, auto rotate (& other movements) are very slow there too

I am facing problems with the VR capabilities of Realme 6 in facebook app

Ok, so i bought realme 6 on 10th august 2020 and its been a perfect phone and i love it. The only problem i have faced is VR not working in the facebook app. 3d images and 360 videos are viewable but i have to drag my finger to view it, gyroscope seem not to work there. I have tried YouTube 360 videos and they work fine and google 360 photos work fine, google measure app works fine. Gyroscope in Pubg works fine so dont know why its not working in facebook app.
Things i have tried:-
Uninstalling and reinstalling FACEBOOK app more than 5 times.
Restarting phone for couple of times.
Factory reset my device one time.
Checked all the components in the phone manager app. Every sensor is normal and working.
Please help if anyone know any fix.
Sorry for my bad english.

Gyroscope in Mate 20 pro dont work

Hello,
I have a Mate 20 Pro and wanted to start some VR videos. To my surprise, any video or virtual reality application did not work correctly (as the movement was slow).
Checking with any test application of the sensors of my terminal, they all say that I have a gyroscope but also it does not work in all while all the other sensors do it correctly.
Something similar happened to someone? I read in some places that they talk about activating the gyroscope but you need to be root. Likewise, if it is a phone that natively has that sensor, I do not understand why it should be activated.
Thanks so much for any help!
