I am facing a problem after the last update. When I open Google maps my compass keeps rotating clockwise. (So I can't even use navigation)
I tried calibrating it (by drawing 8) but nothing works. I checked with other compass apps but it works perfectly fine. The problem is only with Google maps.
I even tried reinstalling Google maps but it works only for the first time and after that the same thing happens.
Is anyone facing the similar issue?
Can anyone help me here? I don't think it's a hardware problem.
i have same problem, only solved for now by reinstalling the old version of maps
Have you tried to restart your phone? I think there is a firmware bug with compass, which cause degradation of compass after some days of working.
Same issue here.
The compass keeps rotating on map and seems very unstable on others compass applications.
Don't have a clue on what to do. Maybe a firmware update ? A factory restore ?
Interesting, mine is working perfectly fine.
I've tried to recalibrate the Accelerometer and the Magnetometer without success...
What can I do ?

Nope!
I upgraded to Mi 11x and now I'm living a happy life
Seems there was some hardware issue with my Mi A3.
Checked with one friend with same device and she was not having this problem.
If your device is in warrenty better replace it!

Did anyone update Google Map 6.1.0 and experienced Navigation turning-off GPS when it turn-on and asking to enable GPS (it's already enable) and when you enable GPS, go back to click on your address/destination ... Navigation turn-off GPS again?
I have to downgrade Google Map back to 6.0.3 and the problem is gone.

no man works fine here, just updated...
Thanks my man. I think it may conflict with my tasker app.
There's still the issue of compass being 180 degress off, I think for everyone...my dad has a stock nonrooted locked amaze and he anything after google maps 6.0, the compass is 180 degress off...I've contacted google and reported the problem. reverting back to pre 6.0 map fixes the problem.

I have the same issue on my stock amaze.
I'm completely stock with Maps 6.1.0, Compass 2.1.1, and mine points correctly north. It's done so both in Michigan and Arizona (don't see why that would make a difference, but I thought I'd add that note).

a 3rd party compass works correctly, but the compass in google maps itself points 180 degrees off... This is getting on my nerves, It confuses the navigation and starts giving wrong directions when you're stopped. Anyone find a solution yet? I have reported this to google twice and the past two updates haven't addressed this issue, and it seems to affect some other phones as well.

Crap! You're right. I just checked and my Maps is off 180 degrees, too. Interestingly, as I was walking back into my office from trying it out, I received an update to Maps 6.2. It didn't help, though; still off 180 degrees.
problem has been fixed with google maps 6.3, came out today!
6.3 has me off by 90 degrees which is better than 180 I guess. It's also really shaky/glitchy in certain places. Oh well... They will get it fixed I'm sure.

Curious about some of these since most of them don't seem to be documented on the main thread, so I'm not sure if it's something on my end or something not working with the ROM. Any workaround suggestions would be appreciated.
--Built-in video camera app doesn't work (documented).
--Video playback doesn't work correctly. Audio is fine, video lags. Eventually audio stops to resync with laggy video. Happens with video files recorded before installing the ROM, which used to play fine on stock GB, as well as tested with video files dumped from my PC. Tried Gallery's player, MX player, and Rock player.
--Chrome crashes frequently (most notably when hitting the tabs button).
--Twitch.tv app plays audio with a black screen (youtube and other things work fine).
--Hardware buttons don't light up.
--Voice Search doesn't work.
--Google Books crashes immediately (documented). (seems to be fixed as of 8-23B)
--Live wallpapers don't work (black background). (seems this magically fixed itself without any updates or workarounds)
--Battery % seems to act weird above 90%, lately it's been stopping charging at 95% (or so it says), and the battery info on the lock screen says "Charged" rather than "Charging" at 95%. Reboot, battery pull, wipe batt stats, re-flash ROM, etc. didn't fix. This didn't happen for the first few days after initial install. (seems to be an Atrix problem with 4.0+ rather than a ROM specific problem)
Edit: 8-23-12B
Live Wallpapers working just fine here on latest 0815
The only issue I have really found is that I cannot get my chrome to phone to work... but I can use phone to chrome.

Chrome doesn't works for me too, I've read it needs the hardware acceleration from the driver that Motorola hasn't released yet...

I am not talking about chrome itself I was talking about the chrome to phone app that works with the desktop chrome add on. I should have specified a little more.

So is there a work around to install flash on CM10. Also mkv files do not work even with mx player correct? Anything else that doesn't work? A complete list would be appreciated!

Uh... Try searching.
Video camera does work on some apps, hardware buttons light up when you select "auto-brightness," Voice search works when you install the appropriate offline voice file, and battery % can be fixed with ravilov's battery app.

It works. Like anything else, you need to sign off/sign in to the service for it to recognize it again. Need to do that every time you flash a rom.

That doesn't work. I have logged in and out on phone and computer, I have installed fresh, I have tried clearing data, and reistalling with data from titanium. Any other ideas? I tried everything I can think of. And I can use the phone to chrome fine just not the chrome to phone...
Most things are running very well. I've tried about a half a dozen roms over the past week or so. One of the only problems I've found is issues with google now. It wont speak back to me, it's just shows the google results. Even on basic questions that it usually would speak an answer back to you, like scores of a baseball game or something like that. But that's not a big problem for me. Also, there's some issues with Chrome and some other browsers. Some browsers work better than others. To my surprise, I'm having the best luck with Firefox Beta and Boat Browser.

Google Voice Crashes
Great ROM. Thanks, epinter.
I'm getting regular messages for Google Voice stopping. I'm running the gapps v3 and the 2012-080-25 ROM but I was also getting the Google Voice crashes in 2012-08-23B.
I upgraded from CM9 without a user wipe (I did wipe cache) and went straight to gapps v3. Other than the Google Voice FCs, everything is running great. I haven't read about anyone else having this problem. Is it just me?
Much appreciated.

Update: I incorrectly assumed that Google Voice was part of the gapps package. A quick uninstall and reinstall of Google Voice through Play did the trick.
Now this ROM is running like butter!
Hi,
I got a Kingzone K1 MTK6592 phone last Friday.
Would be almost perfect to me if I didn't have this problem: (Firmware is deodexed and Xposed 4.2.2, some sort of AOSP-like Aliyun OS unfotunately)
The compass and the Gyroscope work perfectly well in the App "Z-DeviceTest" but not e.g. in GMaps (the arrow always points straight north) or other Gyroscope testing apps?? Even in MobileUncle no Gyroscope Data are available.
Anyone has an idea to fix this? The device has a magnetic compass for sure and other K1 owners report exactly the same behavior. So it must be something in the Software.
Please help!
iErp
bump
Noone got an idea? Am I posting in the wrong category for this?
Interesting thing I discovered, at least the compass is working in some apps but in others it doesn't.
The gyro doesn't show any sign of life although it is listed in the specs of the phone (like the compass) and appears in Z-DeviceTest.
All Kingzone K1 devices seem to have that problem.
Are there different methods to read the compass? Or is the gyro just mismapped as compass or something?
Apps working:
"Compass 360 Pro" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.proapp.pro.app.compass&hl=de
Brothers "Compass" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brothers.compass
Google SkyMaps
Apps not working:
google Maps
c:geo (Geocaching app)
Gabenative "Compass" App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gn.android.compass
I also have the same issue which is really annoying. Sent an email to Kingzone but I've heard their support isn't too great. Anyone else with a K1 also able to confirm the gyro on their phone?
I am active in the German Forum chinamobiles.org. ANYONE with a K1 confirmed this.
I have the same here, works fine in the test app, but with other apps it doesn't
Noticed it the first time in gmaps and with camera app when taking a picture with multiple angels, normally when taken you can rotate the phone to rotate the picture.
Will be a fix for it soon, we just need to make sure they know about the problem.
I have the same issue. Did anyone resolve it yet? I don't think it actually works in the compass apps either. Its more orientation sensor than gyro....
Hi all. I was wondering if anyone is having a problem with their compass, either in a compass app or Google Maps. I'm finding that no matter where I am and how much I try to "calibrate" the compass, it has a problem finding the correct bearings. My old S3 never had this problem and I'm wondering if it's a hardware defect or a software issue.

I'm having the same issue. I've tried the three rotation and the figure 8 calibration methods and both a compass app and Google Maps are showing incorrect (and inconsistent) compass readings. A few other threads (in other G3 forums) have noted this, some saying it might be the GPS heading or something. Hard to say for sure.
I noticed the problem after I downloaded Google Sky Map. The phone didn't track properly and went back close to North after a second or two. I was trying to show someone what the app could do and needless to say he was not impressed. I hope there's a fix for this soon.
I had installed the ZV6 update, but my compass issue persisted. I then grabbed the modem.img file from this thread and flashed it using the flash2 tools and my preliminary tests look promising.

I expected that it was, but I figured "What the hell, what could it hurt?" and flashed it. There was a definite improvement. Google Maps no longer thinks I'm constantly looking out my side window.
memory effect
Hello.
I found that issue have a memory effect.
I tried my own application and maps => ko
I started 3d gyro compass => ok ( don t know why... Maybe init sequence)
I re tried my application and maps => ok
So you cannot evaluate if an update fix or not if you don t do exactly the same sequence...

Hi. I actually followed what @somnifac did by flashing the ZV6 modem.img separately and I haven't had any compass issues since then. But since you have a different variant this doesn't really apply to your phone. I also installed HERE Offline Maps like you mentioned and I didn't get that message. Do you have all the latest updates on your phone? Perhaps the Lollipop update might fix this issue. Best of luck!

i think it's for Sprint only
when i open the app it doesn't appear, only if i touch the green circle in the bottom left it says that the compass needs to be calibrated, after i calibrate it it's ok,but once i disable GPS and enable it, it appears again, i hope it's not my device that has a problem, maybe i'll be able to get my hands on another G3 to sort it out. Thanks

It seems that i /m facing the same problem here. I'm running the AEROM v5 and out of the sudden the camera stopped working, the flash as well. Every camera app that i used only opens the front camera and i cant even use the LED light as a torch. I contacted the seller and suggested a factory reset , i did it with no success. i think that it might be a "missing driver". I do not know a lot apart from flashing roms, recovery etc. Trying to work it through.
Did you try to open the cover and check if the camera is connected properly at the board?
Sounds like hardware.. Any other experiencing this?
