Any means to enable magnetic field sensor?

Hi there,
I just bought some Chinese knock-off called Star x18i (that looks like an SE Arc) based on Android 2.3.6. It works fine, except a few sensors, that don't seem to work properly : magnetic field and gyroscope.
I tried to install different compass apps, but it doesn't work.
I installed Data Monitor app.
For Magnetic Field, it indicates :
Sensor information:
Name : AMI304 3-axis Magnetic Field sensor
MaximumRange : 600.0
MinDelay : 0
Power : 0.25
Resolution : 0.0016667
Type:2
Vendor:Aichi Steel
Version:1

But when I launch "Monitor sensor" in the Data Monitor app, I get real-time figures for plenty of sensors (accelerometer, Proximity, gravity, linear_acceleration), but nothing for magnetic_field nor gyroscope...
Does it mean that Magnetic_field is disabled?Or that it doesn't simply exist on the device? Is there a way to enable it?
By the way, my device is not rooted so far, do you think that could help?
Thanks a lot for your answers guys!
Did you figure it out? I've got same problem..
Same on here.
I have an A9220, with *LOTZ* of sensors.
But the compass, the magnetic field and the gyroscope refuses to work
According to AndroSensor, they're "Waiting for event"
Waiting forever, I guess.
Exact same problem
Hi guys,

Cheers!

same problem , it's old thread but no answer , so maybe posting here is better thn new thread , magnitc sensor do not gives reading after rom flash , although i replaced files with *sensor* from stock to the new one rom how to fix?
On some devices like Htc One, your chineese tablets and my tablet Prestigio 7.0 hd i installed cpu z on them and there was nothing about a compas module, my s5830i has a compas module so i can use it and cpu z is showing it.
Are the aps you want to run on your devices saying that you dont have compas modules?
If they are you dont have it.
Some may not report it, but i dont thesee tablets of yours can do it.
About the rooting try kingo android root on your pc (nothing is sure)

I know that there are times when a company will use a similar firmware for their devices. On my old S2, it had an option for HDMI-Out in the settings, but that hardware was not available in my device. Perhaps a similar thing is happening here? Also when I pulled up specs for your device, I saw nothing about a compass.

Can we use WiFi only apps on Mobile data?

Hello friends,
I am new here. I have few questions, help anyone if they got any idea about it.
Is it possible to use WiFi only apps on Mobile data? As I heard about xposed respiratory "fake WiFi connection" but it's not working for all the apps, second things it's only available on rooted device.
What if someone have non-rooted device? How they can use it, any alternative? Is it possible to make some modifications within the app to make it worked on mobile data also?
Any feedback regarding this are welcome.
Thanks!
