I am using a Google Ion with the 1.4 hero rom. The compass is not working on the GPS Status app and the Compass app. I haven't tried any other apps with use of a compass.
Is anyone else have this problem?

I'm currently running Super Froyo with .16 kernel (scouring the forum indicated that the newest .32 kernel had issues with camera not working). I'm curious if anyone has the camera working w/ focusing? Some of the barcode scanning apps (eg: ShopSavy) don't seem to pick up the barcode due to camera image resolution up close.
If yours is working, could you share:
1. ROM + kernel version you're using
2. App that you tested with?
Is it possible to manually change the focus?
Thanks!
I just tried using google maps today and the accelerometer seems like it is spazzing out. The constellations twitch like crazy. This doesn't happen on any other app that uses the accelerometer (ex. Labyrinth, speedx 3d). Google sky wasn't like this on my mt4g. Is everyone else having the same issue? I'm running bionix 2 if that has anything to do with it.
Sent from my G2X running Bionix 2
I noticed thsi on stock rom too
I did an accelerometer test in the hidden menu (1809#*999#) and the accelerometer is noticeably twitchy, but it seems this only affects google sky map out of all the apps that I have used that make use of the accelerometer. I also tried changing all the sensor settings in google sky map but it didn't help.
funny i was wondering what was wrong mine did that on both the stock rom and bionix
I did that on my mytouch slide, my G2 and now also on my G2X.. i thought it was normal. *shrug*
[Solved]
On many ICS ROMs, it seems Google Maps cannot see the compass--I believe this because the direction arrow does not show (instead a blue dot appears). On some ROMs/phones, the feature works perfectly (Stock 4.0.2 and AOKP 4.0.3 for Galaxy Nexus). On older versions of Maps (v5.12), the feature also works.
Is there any good way to debug this? I've tried copying values from a GNex /system/build.prop into my phone. I've verified that this problem does not just affect my phone/ROM, but other phones running other ICS ROMs. Failing that, I assume the only way to file a bug is to post a message on the Android Google Group?
Edit: One other thing to try: I should try modifying the environment before launching Maps to be more like the GNex environment. I should also try completely copying the GNex build.prop to my phone (I need to make a nandroid backup first because this could prevent the phone from booting.)
Solved: This is stupid, but the compass rotation works only if auto-rotate is enabled. So if you don't like auto-rotate, use Smart Rotator to enable it only for Google Maps.
hi everybody~
i also have the same problem....i'm running Ice Cream Sony by krabappel2548 on Xperia Neo, the map could not rotate to the direction i'm facing....
however i tried other compass app from market and it's working
Hi, I found a solution. Enable auto-rotate for Google Maps. It's still a bug, but this way at least it can be used.
Or just downgrade to Map-5.12.
I have the HTC mytouch 4G slide an just flashed the CM 10.1-20130616-P21-D21-doubleshot.zip. So far everything seems to be working OK except I don't seem to have panorama available to me as I had in Gingerbread. Am I missing something or is this feature not included with this build?
Go into the camera and check my screenshot attachment for the location panorama
I would suggest using silverl's cm10.1 because its more updated and its maintained
One thing I've noticed is the compass doesn't seem to be working (at least not 100%) on certain TW ROMs. With more stock-ROMs, like CleanROM the compass arrows show direction in Ulysse Gizmos. In AxisM and MOAR the arrows don't show at all. Screenshots attached - correct version is from the Play Store.
Any idea how to fix this?
EDIT: Currently on AxisM R21. I tried changing from Ziggy to the latest Lean kernel to see if that was the issue, but it doesn't seem to fix it.
