The compass works on my phone fine. Please if someone can at least install the app to check operation. Thanks a bunch.
Compass
All these views and not one piece of advice? Really? 34 people up to this point.......35 for who is reading this now......
And no one cares about a non functioning compass? Ahhhh
The Huawei Watch doesn't have a compass, so it won't work.

as far as I know that games uses accelerometer non gyro.
Try this

I use sensor track.

I would like something graphical that shows me the movement of the gyro instead of the "raw" numbers.

hmmm, my gyroscope moves when the phone is sitting on the desk.

The cube rotates only a few with my phone, I'm not able to rotate it completely.
is this normal?
Sensor track shows a live graph with three lines for the three dimensions.
What is the usefulness of gyroscope?

Hi, your gyroscope may not levelled or paralleled along horizontal.
Please try to calibrate it.
Gyroscope calibration is located inside advance setting.
IMO, if your gyroscope is levelled 45 degree along horizontal your quick glance will activated only if your phone is angled 45 degree along horizontal also. BTW, you can use the quick glance while holding it, other user think it will not work but actually their gyroscope is just not levelled along horizontal.
If you think I helped you, please pay it forward.
With any kind of favour,
many times as you like.
Until your spirit bright sparklingly.
Hey guys!
I tried to install 3D Live Wallpaper and well... it installed (on my xperia mini pro it didn't cos it lacks gyroscope) but it didn't work at all.... I also tried checking with Android Sensor Box from the Play Store and it didn't detect the Gyroscope so... Does this device actually has one? Could you please post your available sensors screen fromn Android Sensors Box? I'm scared my device is actually defective...
Thanks in advance!
Same here...accelerometer only.

Nope just accelerometer, light sensor, magnetic, sound, and orientation sensors. No gyro
I guess everybody thought this had gyro (even some serious tech websites) but checking on Samsung's website and some more recent specs, I learned that there's actually no gyro for any Galaxy Tab 3 7.0... Thanks for checking anyway
New Post
Have to post 10 times before posting in developer threads, using old threads to make random posts.
Greetings,
I was told by a comrade that XDA is the realms for us, mortals, to seek for guidance and enlightenment.
So, I acquired my new LG G3 last night. Everything is flawless and almighty, except for the compass: It won't point to the correct direction. It is always 90 to 180 degree inaccurate. This sure is a big letdown as I depend on navigation features frequently.
I have tried calibrating it with numerous apps like Compass, Bubble Level, 360 Compass, etc etc (basically most of compass-ish device out there) but none of them does any good.
Anyone out there experiencing the same matter? Is it possibly software issue? or maybe hardware issue? Is it fixable?
For additional informations, I include my phone informations here:
Model number: LG-D855
Android version: 4.4.2
Software version: V10h-EUR-XX (updated to the latest version)
I humbly thank you for the help
I take it you have done the mandatory twisting and turning figure of eight movements to put the sensors through their calibrations?
I find it takes a good few minutes before I have an accurate reading.
Decent compass apps I use are 'Field Compass Holo' by Chartcross Limited and 'Compass' by Espengineer.

woaaahh, it works, Sir! It works!
I have previously done the eight movement calibration countless times with different apps but never worked.
Then I attempted with the apps you suggested, and voila..!! Compass works perfectly now!
Please accept my humble gratefulness, Sir. I bow before you. Thank you

No problem... Pleased you got it sorted.
I have the same problem with my LG G3, do you mind going into more detail about how you fixed the compass?
So my compass appears to be installed backwards. In Google maps it points exactly the opposite direction. In a compass app it also points backwards. Is this happening to anyone else? Are there any fixes?
Try an app called GPS Status. It has a compass calibration tool.
