When I'm pointing dead north with the phone horizontal, I can tilt the phone vertical and the reading stays on north within a few degrees. When I point south or east and do the same the reading is off by 20 degrees or so. This is after recalibrating. It messes up Google sky for me because everything is off by about 20 degrees.
Anyone noticed the same?

Same problem here. Nexus S, Android 2.3.3. Sky Map is useless.
I was just about to open a new thread "Anyone else NS compass just plain wrong?"
Well seems so. Mine is partially accurate, sometimes. And then when it is you only have to do a 360 to see it go wildly wrong at some specific point. Like perhaps it will not accept East is a direction and flip out.
Every soft of manual calibration has failed to help, nor hard reset. After owning a Galaxy S i9000 i am willing to accept Samsung simply broke the chip somehow when building the phone. Here is hoping not..
So I'll just revive this topic and ask if anyone has any new ideas? Location appears to not be a factor, it just never works anywhere. No case on the phone either.
(And I am not Magnito)
i have the exact same problem.
Recalibrating the compass (Waving the phone in a figure 8 pattern) fixes the issue for me, but the problem usually pops up again within a day.
You can imagine the magnetic field of the earth has 2 components: A component that points towards magnetic North and a component that points up from (or into) the ground.
When your screen faces the sky, your phone uses the x axis and the y axis from the magnetometer to determine what direction it's facing. If north, then y axis reads zero.
When you tilt your phone vertical, you can still get a pretty good idea of heading from those same two axes (ideally X would now be the up/down component and Y would still be zero). However, if your phone is slightly tilted, that (typically much larger) up/down component bleeds into the Y and causes your heading to change. This has the advantage that you never need to read the Z axis.
This is why the best compasses include accelerometers to tilt compensate magnetic heading. If only our phone had accelerometers and the programmers used them.
Thanks for your description, so what is the conclusion? is this issue normal or a software bug?
I think I've got the same issue ,I've changed 2 nexus s , one is 2.3.1, the other one is 2.3.3, both have same isssue, check the video here:

My new i9020A has a horrible compass. Check it out next to my girlfriends stock 2.2 Desire.

hello,
Is there anything out there for android tablets that does what the apple smart cover does for the iPad? Locking and unlocking the tablet when closing and opening the cover.
thanks!
The ipad's smart cover uses magnets to detect when it is closed. For that function on an android tablet, the manufacturer would have to put that technology into it. The only other hardware that would work is a proximity sensor. The problem would be that when you put your finger or anything else over the sensor on accident, it would trigger the screen lock. Currently, I don't know of any application that uses the proximity for that purpose.

michaelnv710 is right you cannot buy an android tablet case that will provide you with the same functionality, but you can use a dedicated application. I would suggest you take a look at CaseSensor

Sorted thanks! CaseSensor does what I wanted and works really well on my Galaxy Tab 10.1
I don't care about the on off functionality, I'd just like to find one for my acer Iconia that's physically similar like the origami one for the asus or the one that Apple bullied samsung into pulling. Just for screen protection without the bulk of the folio cases which are annoying when I'm using it as a reader. I only use it at home. You'd think they'd be pouring out of China by now.
Hey guys,
I just got my Note PRO 12.2 (P900, EU) last week and bought the corresponding cover for it (http://www.amazon.de/Supremery-Samsung-Galaxy-Tasche-Tablet-PC/dp/B00JFRNEL6/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t).
While the article description states it should have the function to auto wake/sleep my device, this doesn't work. While a friend of mine got a Note 10.1 2014 with the same case (in the corresponding size, duh.) and the function is working. I also tried to hold his smaller case near the "Samsung" Logo and all other edges, but nothing worked.
Now the question would be: I'm sure there is no option so that it's turned off, right? Is the case faulty or is there any chance I have to send back my device? Also I'm running the Stock ROM with the newest update that I got yesterday.
Edit: Just got a new thought: I don't own the 905, so therefore there is no proximity sensor on my device.. Or is it working magnetically with all those "smart covers"?
Magnetic sensor . . about 1.5 inches to the right of the G in the Samsung logo at the top, and about 0.75 inches below the G.
Try it with another magnet and see if you can get things to work. As far as I know the only case/cover related settings are found in Settings - General - Accessory - Book Cover. On my tablet there is no setting to disable the magnetic sensor however.
I got HTC One E8 (M8Sx) model. Having gone through searching some sensors on my phone I found that I do have Magnetic Sensor (Pics attached). I used 2 apps to check this - Quick System Info and Sensor Box for Android.
Trying to see how it works, found it just doesn't work.
Has anyone tried it, or if there is any problem with this phone or it is not really there in this model but would just show in the list - that should not happen as one of the pic shows "X" mark on Temp Sensor which is obviously not there.
Any ideas?
i have the same model M8Sx and it has a magnetic sensor. you can check with test menu *#*#3424#*#* in the dialer, you will see a line for magnetic sensor test. I tested it with google cardboard where a magnet is used as a switch to do in app actions and it works.

That's the one.. Hall sensor is also commonly called as the magnetic sensor..
And the dot view uses this sensor to lock and unlock the screen when we open the cover..

Ok guys let me clear some confusions here.
Everyone who is referring to the sensor "Hall Sensor" is not a MAGNETIC SENSOR.
Hall Sensor is the one used to check if the cover (DOT Cover) is pulled or closed, if closed it would shut the display, if pulled (Opened) then switch ON the display, this is done by little switch inside the phone which is pulled by outside magnetic force.
Magnetic Sensor - THe device would show megnetic field strength as per the density of the metal behind the phone case. I have Samsung, Sony and old HTC as well these all show proper working of this action
I have attached a pic taken from Samsung Galaxy, running the same app as mentioned above "Sensor Box for Android" and as we can see from the pic it shows the density level of metal we check for test.
I am referring to this Magnetic Sensor and not the closing opening of cover sensor.
Does any one know of this? Has anyone tried installing the above app and tried testing on E8 ???
Any help would be good before I try Factory Reset the phone, which I do hesitate a lot and dont want to go thru that hassel installing everything again...

Hi
I checked Antutu and in Sensors it says "Temperature" - Not Supported (Means that sensor is not present)
Showing temp of phone is diff, that depends on the Core Chip (main CPU) Temp, which it has a function to measure its own temp.
About magnetic sensor, now I m quite sceptic of reseting the whol;e phone, need to find out which app does this, otherwise its no use of reseting and it might come back..
Anybody has issues with the barometric sensor?
Long story short:
1. Dial *#0*# and it will pop up an app to check the phone.
2. Go to Sensor
3. Look up for the Barometer Sensor (right in the middle). It should read the actual atmospheric pressure. It should change a little. If not, you probably have a hardware issue. Even hitting the Barometer Selftest can show a "PASS" message but it´s just wrong.
Long story long:
Yesterday I bought a brand new S6 from the local company and I really use the barometer a lot (incredible but some of us really use them). So when i checked the sensor with my usual apps I found that it wasn´t showing what was expected out of it. I live at 1500 MSL so barometric pressure should be around 850hPa.
Nevertheless, the phone sensor is "STUCK" (does not change at all, not even on the elevator) at sea altitude pressure (around 1012hPa or 7 msl)
I went to the company today for a replacement. Filled up a warranty, they didn´t care to look at the phone, and gave me another one brand new. While waiting on the room for the paperwork I went on to check the S6 and S6 Edge that were on the showroom to see the barometer working... None of the displayed phones worked. Then we opened my brand new unit and I insisted on testing the barometer, same result, stuck at 1011.8hPa or 12.08 msl.
Then the cueless but really beautiful girl that works on the showroom and introduces the customers to the "basic functions", didn´t really have an idea of what is a barometer or why somebody would be interested on it at all. She asked by phone to the tech department about the "issue" and they just said that "the sensor only works if you download an app" (really?). So we went along with the flow and waited for the girl to download an application... then she was really happy when she showed me the result: "Look, it works, it shows some hPa and some altitude..." She just didn´t knew what was the altitude of our city, so 8 msl or so seems like a fine number for her...
Anyway, the sales representative told me that they can give me my money back and just declare that I wasn´t happy with the cellphone and that it just wasn´t what I expected... That really got me... but still I didn´t got crazy at all, just explained her that they can´t sell any more units if they are bad and that I ´m telling them in their face and showing them that they are bad units, so it´s just irresponsible to sell them.
Finally they agree to call the "Samsung special guru representative" and he told them that he would like to show me tomorrow how the sensor works. So i didn´t want to take the phone but they insisted that I should keep it as it´s perfectly good and tomorrow some guy will convince me that we are indee at sea height and that our local mountains are not there... Let´s wait.
Meanwhile, I looked up everywhere for a similar issue but seems that nobody is having this problem or nobody really care about that sensor readouts. There´s only one other guy on the whole forum reporting this issue but he just does not make any noise about it.

Allthough you surely have done it correctly, it is important to realize the atmospheric pressure does fluctuate daily. So while on average it might be 1013mb/HPa on sealevel, it can and does go up and down by a lot.
So it is functioning correctly when it indicates 988 or 1034 while you are on sealevel, it all depends on the actual atmospheric pressure.
(I read your story as "you should always see 1013 when on sealevel", which is not the case. I probably misread it, but wanted to make sure nobody might make the same mistake and conclude the s6 is faulty when it is not)
Just went onto the *#0*# menu and looked at the sensor info, and although I have no idea what the local weather station is currently reporting, the readout is giving me around 997hPa, with the post decimal point numbers flickering around as you'd expect with micro changes in pressure (I'm on the bus). It also estimates I'm about 134M above sea level. All from the main sensor menu. Only when clicking on self test does the readout then freeze. But again, on a self test report, figures are frozen.
I'm guessing the devices at your store are probably a faulty batch, perhaps? Can you go to another store at all?
Ok. In order to "illustrate" the problem, you can download a small video with the issue attached.
The video was shot at 1460 mts or 849.7 hPa measured with a Samsung S4, and really close to gps height and terrain elevation data from google earth.
It's true than the barometer fluctuates, and that height can be off by a couple of hundred meters if we are under a really high or really low pressure system, but usually it fluctuates in the order of 30-50 mts during the day on the same place (because of temperature and some other stuff). So problem is not that I'm not getting a precise exact reading of my current height, but that I'm not getting any readings out of the sensor at all. Sensor is just "frozen" on same pressure as if we were on a controlled pressure chamber.
Feel free to download the video (or maybe upload it to youtube and make it public)

I see from the vid that there isn't even a hint of a twitch on the barometer read out at all! That's bad! I just put my phone on a table and left it alone for a while, watching the read out, and it was constantly flickering. Even if it was only ±.05hPa, it never stayed still.
Try going to another branch, and see if they have a different batch of S6 stock?

Yes, you are right.
On the Note 4, the problem was more related with high places (above 4000 ft) as it was detected by an airline pilot that tested a lot of different sceneries. So probably people under 1000 msl won't detect a "stuck barometer".
Also it can be related to the firmware or hardware version (maybe kernel), but not sure.
I just received a call from the local Samsung tech dept, and they are "detecting an issue" on the units. They are going to look up next week (don't work on weekends) and will be calling me with an answer. Meanwhile I'm gonna do some more field research...
So every time I want to check the Barometric Pressure I have to do the following:
1. Dial *#0*# and it will pop up an app to check the phone.
2. Go to Sensor
3. Look up for the Barometer Sensor (right in the middle).
There has to be a better way!

That´s the dirty way of getting into the raw data from the sensor without installing any app that can read and display the data on a friendly manner.
There are a lot of apps that you can use for barometric pressure (just look for them on the play store).
I use a special app for free flying that uses the barometric pressure to measure vertical speed, and it makes beeps according to the speed. This kind of app for free flying is called generically a "Variometer". The one I use has a lot of configurable features and it´s called xctrack. There´s another one called xcsoar really good too.
For the general public, there are a lot of free barometric apps that can display the data. Try sensor readout. Another way of testing a lot of the hardware sensors on the phone.
So, fast update... I see that nobody else is having an issue at least on the poll. Nevertheless, I got a call from the Local samsung tech dept and they "CONFIRMED" that there´s an issue with their units. They are shorting out if it´s a hardware or a firmware issue and they told me that they will inform me next week on their findings.
I also made a lot of "noise" with the cellphone company, as a lawyer, and gave them the heads up that they are "selling" bad units and that they "should" stop selling them while they fix the issue to avoid a massive recall. It was a free advice but it was the right thing to do...
S6 barometer not working
I got new S6 at end of April. I am in Utah area. It took me a week or two to decide barometer was not working. Went to ATT store. The S6 and S6 edge phones that they had were not working either. Wrote email to Samsung tech. They claimed to be unaware of any barometer problem. They email replied and gave various instructions to trouble shoot including hard reset. I have now been to five ATT stores and one verizon and not found any S6 or edge with working barometers. All S5 phones indicated working barometers. By now I have checked about 20 S6 type phones and none of the barometers work. Also checked two note 4 phones and barometer also was not working. I have been checking using *#0*# code which a techie guy at first ATT store researched. I Have many phone calls to ATT trying to get action. Have four contacts with Samsung tech support trying to get action. ATT has sent two replacements that also have non working barometers. I have been very firm with these support people that this issue needs to be escalated to higher authorities. It has proven near impossible to get any meaningful action. Currently waiting for supervisor reply from Samsung. I think he will just say send your phone for repair. I am trying to get ATT to send Samsung a phone to repair for me. They so far will not entertain the idea. Both ATT and samsung are nice and saying they want to solve this for me, but so far they really have evaded doing anything meaningful.

Thanks for the answer... It's nice to see that I'm not alone on the world. By the way, the "poll" seems to be unfair, as the vote is for user and not for phone unit... you have tested more than 20? I have tested only 4 but all of them are bad... that means 24 : 4... it makes a different kind of result on the poll.
Anyway, I see that UTAH (Salt Lake) have a similar height to Medellin. And the Note 4 barometer problem was reported to be present only above 4000 feet or so... Maybe we are into something here.
Update!!!
The problem seems to be a "software" issue. Samsung claims that the software that they have put together for the Colombian companies was faulty. They came, installed a new firmware on my faulty device and now the barometric sensor seems working. Tomorrow I will test it for real during a "hanggliding" flight, as a barometer recorder. If it holds up, then it was a software issue.
The comparison on software:
Faulty vs Ok.

Indee... Barometric Issue was solved with new "Baseband" (Flashing a new rom). Now that phone is running latest android, and baro works ok.
You seem to be having gps readings... I'm not sure if it's a translation error but they are two different issues. My issue was only with the barometric sensor that uses a pressure sensor. A GPS uses a radio frecuency receiver.
