Compass? - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hi guys. I have some problems with the compass. When I compare it with other devices it shows other directions.. is my phone broke ? Do u guys have this issue too ?

Maybe the gyroscope isn't calibrated property, if you can't do anything now, try a factory reset

I tried this at my desk at work and the phone shows North where south should be and South where north should be. I grabbed a co-workers iPhone and his pointed north perfectly. After shaking my phone a few times, it eventually corrected itself, but was easily thrown off by moving it again.
My only guess is that our phones are VERY susceptible to electromagnetic interference.

Or you can simply try to reboot.

no it asks every time to calibrate ,I dont know y.

I can confirm that my compass now works properly in my home. My office has hundreds of electronic devices connected to numerous WiFi routers. It seems to support my hypothesis that our phones are just very sensitive to EM interference.

You programmed it ? Isn't that the official release from 3?
It may drain the battery, doesn't it?

yes i noticed this first time yesterday, very strange. i have gps turned off, so this doesn't happen to me usually. wouldn't be surprised if they are trying to use the data for marketing or something even worse...
best to turn off gps for now i guess.

Yes, I did so.
It support android 1.6 and below, everything above that iv tried it on force closes while its loading contacts.
Yeah, Mine 2.2 FC
Working fine on Desire with cyanogenmod 6.0.2 Froyo2.2 and latest radio... The biggest annoyance though is that it does not work when wireless is enabled... I have Skype from 3 on my nokia and it works on the 3g connection regardless of the state of wifi...
It drains my battery very fast when locating by wireless network is enabled.
Android system disconnects the mobile network as soon as it is connected to the Wifi, so it is not capable of doing that.

Hi dear.
No, it's normal!
It only turns off when it's under pressure and a few apps run at a time.
For example, when I turned on phone data and I want to take a photo by camera or video, It suddenly turns off.
Or for example after calling, it turns off!
Please help me!:crying::crying:

You are getting help... Fearful as it sounds, it seems likely you have a bad device, most likely due to hardware. I'd return it for a new one ASAP.

Look if im in your position i would guess its hardware. You made everything possible to try to solve the issue.
But whatsoever you do the problem still exist so there must be something wrong with the hardware. So sorry my friend.

Issues with Google maps

Morning all,
Anyone else having issues with Google Maps on their Honor I seem to be able to move the map zoom in and out but can't type in the search box or click any of the menu buttons, tried uninstalling and reinstalling works maybe once of twice and then the same. Wasn't sure if it's an Emui issue or not as far as I know I'm on the latest version. Cheers

GMaps probs Honor 6X
Me too. I have problems with Google Maps on my Huawei Honor 6X even after installing or uninstalling reinstalling updates. It freezes and I can't click menu buttons. Only zooming in and ouy works. Perhaps we have disabled a phone feature which messes up Google Maps function.

Multitouch Issues

Hey all,
I'm having a few issues with my multitouch. Firstly using a multitouch app it picks up all of the fingers a different inputs but they flicker unless you're moving your hand around, so it's impossible to use it for games and such. I'm fairly certain that this is a hardware issue. Although it doesn't seem like it's completely broken as I can still register multiple touches, its just impossible to have continuous multiple touches. Any idea on how to fix this?

It should still be under warranty if you haven't rooted it. So I guess you should take advantage of it.
Sounds like the calibration for the active digitizer for your device needs to be recalibrated.

There are some apps for it.

Most probably it's a hardware problem.
Could it be that it's a lose connection? Or do you think the whole screen and digitizer assembly will require replacing.

Enter *#*#2664#*#* into the dialer to run the Touchscreen diagnostic test to see if your device's active digitizer is really to blame. I don't know the code that will recalibrate the active digitizer of your device. You would probably have to send your device to Honor to get it recalibrated.

This code doesn't do anything. I'm not sure Huawei will be willing to do anything as I have unlocked the bootloader for root.
