Hey guys, compass shows wrong directions... The north of my compass is deviated from the actual north by 90 degrees... Ive already tried rotating my phone along all three axises... is there any other way to calibrate the inbuit compass??

It can be found in the display settings...
Calibration option is there in that...

Tried googling it but didn't find anything exactly like this.
Basically when I have auto brightness there are times when i won't move my phone whatsoever or any lighting around it and the brightness go from dim to bright couple secs back to dim and so on for no reason.
Could it be a faulty sensor or firmware related?
I had stock and few custom roms and its happening on all of them.
Idk if I should send to htc for repkacemt or are any you experiencing same thing and expect this to be fixed with update?
It's so annoying and although I could put a constant screen brightness I don't want to.
Thanks in advanced !!

I find that a lot of times when I'm holding my phone in landscape that my left hand covers the sensor. As I'm typing it will move enough to generate a change, and then move back to undo it. Just my .02.

Yes I don't hold in landscape and I will literally just put phone on table and the brightness goes back and forth without stopping.
And I'm positive no light is changing or ne movements ...

I think you have what I have and maybe its just a faulty sensor?
Then again if it gets brigght it dies adjust accordingly and otherway around its just it never stops and imagine reading even this forum at night on phone and every eight seconds gets brighter and eight seconds later gets dim and so on.
It's so annoying I think I'm gonna send my phone in
I'm just scared to because i had no other issues at all that others had and don't wanna risk a different problem ....

Hello, my accelerometer seems to be off, tilting to the left by about 10 degrees. That is really annoying. I have tried some calibration apps but nothing worked.
Has anybody had any success in recalibrating the accelerometer?
Do you know any app/script to something that i can adjust the damn phone to its correct level?
Help would be appreciated
You can calibrate in the settings

thanks, but this only calibrates my gyroscope on a flat surface. I am having problems on the Horizontal axis holding the phone up
P.S I think that the calibration does not work on the leaked ICS

My compass wont point to north any more,instead WEST direction is shown as NORTH now
I dont know how this happened
Foy,I am currently using chocobread rom,but i dont think its the roms fault
I tried realibrating the compass by moving it like 8,but that didnt work
And i didnt place my phone near large speakers/magnets
try calibrating it by moving the device in 8 like shape while the phone is facing the sky
i think, many of custom rom have bad sensor rotation...so, if you want to make sure why your compass wont point north, use stock first..
Tried EVERYTHING
Tried moving my phone like 8
Even installed a new ROM (Cyan Mobile)
It still wont point NORTH :/
anybody??

Try a Original Rom and see if the problem persist. Maybe is the Hardware.
Tried stock rom
Still have the prob
Move it like a vertical 8 it can calibrate it.

Its a app that's making it do that....do you have any apps that put ads in your notifaction bar or any crappy looking apps with no put in design? Then uninstall them.

Found the problem... It was an ad app ' top offers ' which was putting ads in notification bar.. It didn't know that was the thing causing the screen to turn on.. But now its fixed.
Installed the 'air push detector' and found the ad apps n uninstalled them hopefully it won't happen again.

Sent from my GT-S5670 using xda app-developers app
Try pressing it hard deep inside. Maybe it can be a loose connection. Mine also was not working recently. I kept it pressing hardly, and it worked
the thing is if i press it hard it opens the shut down menu. . .does nt lock.
