Question Compass Issue - Realme GT 2 Pro

Hi all,
Need some help on the compass app. I a not able to calibrate the Compass. Calibration will start but after some minutes it seems to drop the data and start to circle and shows in all directions but not to the north. I am on the actual C.16 version in Germany. Any ideas ? I already cleared all data and cache from the compass app.
Regards
Flummi

Can you make a video recording of the screen how it behaves?

here the video

Try the calibration outside, I didn't use the compass application, I had it disabled, if it looks like it works

Try doing a factory reset.

How does the sensor behave, does it show one position or does it rotate like a compass?

Thanks Stano ..... i did a quick video , after factory reset

Has the compass also stabilized?

I got the same problem, when using gmaps, walking it works perfect at start but suddently it shows wrong direction and if i reset the navigation and start it right away it works again but later on gets crazy again... Must be software related...
PS: im on latest eu rom

On my gt2 pro calibration does nothing. So the compass app does not even start. Also gdpr version of the phone.

The manual test is not a calibration, it is a test of the Magnetic Sensor. If the value is stable in the manual test and the needle flies in the compass application, then the problem is with the compass application.

[Q] Google +: no map on location

Hello everybody,
i noticed an issue this morning with google plus.
As i think you know, latitude is going to disappear and i activated the location share on google plus.
But when i go into local, i can see all my friends sharing their positions, but the map doesn't show... as a matter of fact, i see icons on a empty display.
I tried to reboot, to clear cache and dalvik, also to remove and re-install google plus app, but nothing changed... have you some idea? what kind of problem is this?
Thanks,
Claudio

Hello Diablo67,
thanks for your answer.
But in this case, i should have also some problem with maps and latitude, don't i? But maps and latitude, they work fine
Moreover, my position in Google+ is good, i am tracked well... just my icon is on a blank screen, without any map under it

I would contact the developer about that,could be a specific bug.Log into Google Playstore and go to "Whats new"thats the bug list and what its not compatible with.
i have the same problem, it locates me fine but there is no map background.

same here. are you also using maps beta? the new maps preview ?
The workaround for the problem is to make Google+ a system app.
I had the same problem before and it helped me.

Thanks for the link. I have an interesting issue with my HTC one: everytime I make Google+ a system app everything is gone (app & libs) after the reboot. It doesn't matter how I copy / move the files: adb, ESExplorer or Titanium: after the reboot the files under /system/app & /system/libs are gone.

gyroscope sensor issue

i got the phone yesterdayright away updated it to miui7.3.6.0 global stable today installed asphalt 8 and found out sensor is not working properly the car just keeps on moving to right side
tried searching found a few thread on miui forum but no answer
is there a way to fix it or should i ask for replacement
Calibrate gyro
You should try calibrating your device, found same while playing real racing 3, there was a calibration options in the settings, it asked me to place the device on a full flat surface and tap calibrate or something, i did and the issue was solved! Tap on kernel version in about phone and you'll enter into device testing option where you can calibrate your gyro... hit thanks if it helped..

There no calibrTion in setting but tried on of phone through setting clicking 4-5 times on kernel then tested the gyro its shows nothing then restarted the device and again its working but after sometime its the same
Is it a software bug or a hardware issue

Here's a calibrate option to calibrate your gyro, it can be found by tapping multiple times on kernel in about phone, place your phone on a flat surface Like a reading table, at this time the x y and z readings should be zero, if it's not, place calibrate and don't move your device, after successful calibration it'll show calibration success toast message, check the attachment below:

Blurry Google Maps?

I've noticed that my Google Maps app seems to be running at a very low resolution, so everything looks blurry. I've tried manually setting the resolution to WQHD, but that doesn't seem to fix it. I'm on the lastest version of Google Maps, with Mate 10 software version B131C636. Anyone else have this problem?

Same thing happens for me.
I'm having a lot of issues with this phone (can't disable vibration forever, the lock when locking an app in the multitasking menu disappears when closing the app, undeletable notifications, screen gets so scratched, vibration turns on again after when you enter again in silent mode ...)
What resolution are you using when running maps? Settings > Display > in here you have several items to choose from but I believe "Screen resolution" is the one you need to try to manually adjust to see if it helps at all. If not then maybe a factory reset is in order...sorry!
I'm still having this issue
Hi!
I have this issue too in my Mate 10, I have the resolution setting @ intelligent mode.
I tried deleting the Maps data and doing a factory reset, same issue.
Still no solution?
No such issue here. I am using Mate 10.

It wouldn't make any sense.

Why ? Because you are 3 to have this issues, every mate 10 owner must have it ? Maybe it's firmware related, region (of devices) related, screen (maybe differente quality of hardware used).
Before claiming its all mate 10 issues, try to find out if you're more than 3.

There's only one way to test this.
It's to take a picture from a word, very close that we can see the pixels and compare it
I also have a blurry Google Maps on my Mate 10. Google Maps Go is even worse. Although, the maps inside the Google Trips app is just fabulous! So crispy and detailed! So Google definitely can do better even on a Mate 10. I reported it to Google, but got no answer yet.

Can't calibrate compass using Google Maps

My Google Maps blue dot has a pretty wide beam, and when I first start Maps it never seems to know which direction I'm facing until after moving 50ft or so.
I learned about the method to calibrate the compass by tapping the blue dot, selecting calibrate compass, and doing a figure-8 motion 3 times. However, it never changes out of "low" no matter how many times I've attempted it.
Additionally, Google Maps speedometer always shows 0 or --.
I have a new Samsung A50 Verizon with all the latest updates.
Is there any way to find out whether my compass hardware might be bad, or any other suggestions on what I might be doing wrong? I currently drive for a living using rideshare/delivery apps, so this is extremely frustrating for me.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm not sure if the A50 has the edge app.. If it does you can try installing the "tools" app. It has a compass and at the bottom there is an option to calibrate. This works for me.
For some reason calibrating the compass from Google Map Doesnt with for me.

What is the edge app? Who is the publisher of the app? Seemed too broad of a search on the Play Store

It's edge panel.. Part of the functions of the phone. I'm not too sure if it's included in A series but it is present on s and note series..

Question OK Google not working

For a while now (10-14 days) my google assistant has not been working properly. Specifically, it does not listen on the screen off. If I turn on the listening manually, it works as expected. I have looked for information and it seems to be something to do with GDPR. Is it currently possible to run 'ok google' ? I would like to add that the phone is set in Polish (PL) and I would like to keep this language

Try disabling and re-enabling your voice detection. Maybe clear data for the Google app and retrain your voice model.

If you find any solution, pls let me know.
I tried everything I could find. I've updated to Android 13 but it still doesn't work. I'm hoping it's a bug in Google app and waiting for fixes in updates.
I uninstalled Google app updates and now it's working again (working Google app version 13.48.11.26). So, it's definitely a Google app bug.
