i have read at many sites venue 8 android has compass in it
but my venue 8 is not showing compass in apps ?
or apps requiring compass are not reading it
No compass on V7 and V8. Search on pdadb.net and you'll see no compass flux detector present.

I'm using mapdroyd. It's free and has plenty of maps around the world (two downsides yet: 1. It doesn't have a tool to search for an address or a point of interest. 2. It doesn't support active navigation -i.e. it won't tell you to turn right or left in the next street-).

I see RMaps is not mentioned here yet. I use it when I'm out of the country and want to quickly find out where I am, it can use offline maps downloaded on a PC (stored in some kind of sql database file which speeds things up a lot!), navigation works when there is data connection available, offline maps do support POI's and they can be edited/added/removed on-the-go.
Map downloads support Google maps, MS maps, Yahoo maps, Yandex Maps etc.
Also supports map orientation (direction/compass)
Not ideal for use while driving, but rules for traveling on foot! ^_^
For me,the only app that works wherever/whenever
I need it using only GPS On (Data Tranfer Disabled) is iGo,so far!
I ll try some others and post the results here!

Ndrive works great.
TomTom Gps will soon come to android
Sygic, the only that works on my x8, it can navigate offline

problems with Co-Pilot
Hi guys,
I think I need your help (for dummies lol)
My friend installed Co-Pilot 8 in my Wildlife,it worked great for a few days then stopped. Every time I turn it on it shows only the second of red introduction graphic then dies.
Any idea what I should do?
Thanks in advance
Tony
I think "Navigon" is the best app for gps... sure there are some bugs but maps and timeliness of reaction are blameless
Hey..
Since, Google Navigation doesn't work here in India, I was wondering if there's any Sat Nav app, for India, available to download in the Android Market.
I use LG Optimus One by the way!
anyone help, please??
Try Aura on Market.

NDrive
Use NDrive which should be pre-installed, mine had it and works like charm...
Thanks guys for your reply!
@patil: I tried using NDrive but it would always hang, I don't know why!
I would definitely try Aura.
Google navigation in India
Does work. Get Maps (but)
Google navigation
Sorry. Should be Maps (brut) Go to options brut. Select international navigation.
I use Navitel with maps ported from Garmin in pakistan. Works like a charm. if you can find maps. i think navitel uses navteq maps which garmin also uses. and navteq also provides maps for india, so google for it. i'm sure you'll come up with something good.
God helps those who help themselves.

Satnav for India
Please use "WAZE" . it is using the Satnav maps in background. It is very good. It works without any issue.
Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums
Moving to Q&A
I use brut.all google maps non rooted version and it works great here in India .
Would like to try out Waze but I guess the real time traffic updates are limited to metros where more people share traffic updates.
Still a good concept though !!
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,
I have precisely the same problem! Did anyone get a fix for this, in the end??
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.

We can already use a compass app, so what's with the "I don't think so" approach?
