I've tried a couple of custom ROMs and am on CM9 for the Sprint version, and notice that the compass is haywire on them: seems like north/south is reversed, but it's also not stable- tilting the phone results in compass jumping all over the place.
Anyone know if there's a fix in the works? Anyone not have the problem with these ROMs?

Is there anyone else out there who has the newer hardware EVO who are having issues with the camera on custom kernels? As I understand it, the newest OTA update is a few camera fixes for the different hardware HTC started using.
From my understanding this is a known issue. I am using SetCPU on the stock kernel to at least underclock and save some battery, but would like to be able to use the full functionality without losing all access to the camera.
Just wondering if there is a fix? Or is anybody working on one currently? I have searched, but to no avail.
Recently I rooted my HTC desire and installed the froyo stock rooted rom, the person who published it says that he did not change anything in the Rom however I'm having problems with my magnetic field sensor. The compass app just goes crazy, doesn't point in the right direction plus Google sky maps also does not work. Please correct me if I'm wrong but my theory is that is the magnetic field sensor at fault. Does anyone know how to fix this?

you can calibrate by going to compass and waving it in figure 8 direction 3-10 times. this might help the sensor.
compass / gps only works once. root problem?
I am having the exact same problem with my rooted samaung r720 vitality. I am not sure if this problem existed prior to rooting but as I can't get a stock rom or back this one up I can't test it. I can't see why a root would cause this problem but who knows. I also have a problem withe gps it only works once maybe you can try this too. Download gps test put it in airplane mode go outside let it run for 2 mins after getting a fix shut off gps fix/ gps for 2 mins and then start it up again repeat this one more time (3rd time) then report your results.
With regards to the compass if you calibrate it it will work for a shortime but this is soon lost. I only have the problem with horizontal movement not vertical. It seem the calibration/ ofset settings are not being remembered.

fixed. used another persons nandroid backup of a stock rom. probably firmware was faulty not from rooting process.
I'm wondering if anyone else had this phenomenon that the clock just stops after three days?
I've read about a time bug in ICS, but i have no idea what's causing it?
It happens with the CM9 roms and the AOSP roms.
Anyone any idea what's causing it, or how to solve it?
PS, there are no active appkillers running.
Since 4.3 ROM I'm having trouble with my ZL accelerometer. It gets crazy sometimes, not responding or doing it wrong, thinking the phone is upside down for example. It's a real pain in the a$$.
To fix it, I had to enter the service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*) and calibrate it. Sometimes even this didn't work, Y axis got stuck, only rebooting made it go right.
The problem persists in KitKat 4.4.2. I don't know if it's a software problem (I didn't do a hard reset or tried reinstalling the ROM yet) or it's a faulty hardware (and the warranty is already expired, damn! ).
The service menu in KitKat is different from Jelly Bean. I can test the accelerometer in the service test menu (that little ball is not behaving well in my ZL), but there's no option to calibrate it.
How do I do that? Is there a way to calibrate the accelerometer in 4.4.2?
You can also suggest something to fix it definitively.
Great question,
I seem to always be pointing in the wrond direction in Maps as well.
I think it could be the same issue.
Anyone else having these issues?
Anyu sugestions.
I am running rooted - Stock 4.4.2
Cheers :highfive:
I Have the same issue with the accelerometer and don't find any solution for this
My s4's gyro sensor stopped working one day. After some research, this is a pretty common issue. I really hope it can be fixed with just software, but I am willing to accept it's a hardware issue. Nothing I've tried works, including flashing to stock and calibration. I'm stuck here, and I'm wondering if there's a way to switch between portrait and landscape using the auto-rotate button in quick settings. on lollipop, by the way. thanks
