Hey,
I'm having a problem with my GPS and compass for a long time now. I installed multiple custom ROMs and currently using Havoc 3.2.
The GPS/location signal are fine. But in Google maps or Pokemon GO, the compass is not working at all. It keeps spinning and turning around. It never points in the same direction. Does someone know how to fix this? Did I mess something up, and is it possible to fix this or is this hardware related :crying:?

I've been experiencing issues with the gps for a while. For starters, it takes a long time for the turn by turn navigation to start. Just the other day it kept repeating the same street even though I was no where near that street.
I use Google maps, I removed the att navigation, and I'm using the deodexed rom. fyi.
Anyone else experiencing issues?

So, i'm assuming your Ion is rooted? With stock GB on my Ion, i had some very strange gps related stuff happening for the first few days i owned it. I was constantly losing the ability to go into compass mode in google maps, and once that happened...it would not regain gps signal, it would just constantly 'seek' with the blinking icon. If i didn't mess with it for a few hours, it would come back for a bit...but then get lost again. It wasn't just maps, my tracks app wouldn't get a lock either. However, it was always related to when compass mode simply stopped working.
I dug around a little and found people claiming that the orientation sensors can interfere with gps connectivity, and any compass app will reset that within the phone when you install them. Sounded gimmicky, but it worked (i just downloaded the first free compass i found), and i haven't had a single problem since with GB...and after the ics update so far.
But if you rooted your phone, and it was working fine before, that could be the culprit...and i don't have feedback for that yet, as i haven't rooted yet.
So you just installed a random compass app and the navigation worked?

Hi everyone,
I'm running Carbon 4.4.2 with PA Gapps; I don't understand what is my phone's problem, i mean:
I was playing Ingress, switched to compass mode and the view won't rotate, like my compass was broken, or "rotate" jerky (<-- google translate word, i hope it's right), not following che continuous rotation. I tried with maps, compass mode won't move. Then I recalibrated the compass (8-movement with hand) and tested the compass with some apps on the store, no problems. I tried Maps, no problems with rotation until i tried again the navigation mode, the view is stuck and won't rotate. Tried to reset, re-flash rom, change rom (tried SlimKat 4.4.2, but with PA Gapps, slim's didn't flash well) but now i'm back to carbon, now the "final" problem is:
Maps and compass works apparently fine.
Navigation mode doesn't work (jerky on ingress, stuck on maps)
If i use the phone with screen down (like i'm pointing the camera to the sky) it works smoothly
If i use navigation by foot in Maps it works smoothly and pretty good. If i switch to navigation by car it's stuck.
I tested the sensors with S Tools and they work (i'm not an expert abouth this but i think that if the movements on the axes change the sensors (gyroscope, magnetic, etc) work, can't say if they work how they should but it seems so to me..)
I really don't know what the problem is, anyone experienced something like this or knows what it possibly can be?
I thought it coul be a problem of "google services" (gapps) and installed waze to try something "not google", but it won't even lock the gps (but i didn't try outside for this one)
Thanks in advance, i'm desperate

Hi all, This is not getting exposure on the AT&T help forums so i thought i'd try here
I had been on CM12 for a while and at some point, not sure exactly when, my accelerometer stopped working, it would not autorotate landscape when holding the phone that way, all my photos were saved in the wrong direction etc. I also noticed that autobrightness completely stopped working.
I recently flashed the new stock based rom that is on the android development section thinking it was a AOSP or CM based bug, but I still am unable to get those things to work. It is very frustrating. If i try to calibrate the accelerometer, it closes out in settings instantly.
Anyone know what I can do to fix this?
Hi,
Every few hours my Compass and Inclinometer completely stops working. It only comes back after a reboot. Not a major issue but I was wondering if anyone else saw this.
Thanks!
Google maps Works perfectly
And GPS Tool shows 6 meter precision.
did you try toggling the gps on and off from quick settings? i occasionally have this issue, turning the gps off then back on typically fixes it.
Stock rom?
I have the same problem!
GPS toggle on/off does not work.
I have the Stock Rom and Factory Reset did not solve.
Any ideas what happening?
I've had the issue before. Reinstall the app/ Clear cache. Toggling the location service on and off works as well.
I sent a email to waze development team and they said they are looking if there are some problem. Also, I hope maybe the update (android 7.1.1) that is near the corner may resolve the problem. Also this problem is not everytime, since yesterday reboot it is working normally. Very strange.
