My compass seems to have a mind on its own in google maps. Anyone else experiencing this?
Any fix suggestions without root?

do you mean that the map keeps spinning without you spinning the phone?

Well either your compass is broken or just needs reconfiguring, you have not got any magnets or anything near the device have you?
Yes. Mine is the same, just keeps spinning. While walking it makes it hard to know what direction I am headed. Given that I am currently traveling its a bit of a pain.
And no, I donot have any magnets near me. All things equal my galaxy nexus's compass worked fine, the note 2 doesnt.

How do you recomend calibrating?
For those who care I downloaded gps status and toolbox from the market and calibrated thw compass as well as the accelorometer and it seems to better. Not sure if that made a difference but ill test it tomorow.

anyone having a weak gps issue? i am. goog maps or navigate or telenav can't track me accurately. ot can find a location but it sucks finding me and navigating. ive been in every major city from san diego to ny to new orleans atlanta dallas etc... military and on vacation and no matter where i go the gps sucks. it does however have a crack on the top left corner over the front camera if it matters. i have the latest prl update and all

I think there is an issue if you leave your phone on for a certain number of days, the GPS stops working accurately. Try rebooting your phone
ive tried that. it still sucks.

You might want to exchange it. I use mine in L.A. and Orange County and it is pinpoint accurate. I was actually surprised how well it was working. It was exactly right on when I had to take an offramp to another freeway or during surface street driving. I am using Telenav
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I agree exchange it. Our gps on telenav here in Houston works perfectly, very quick and accurate, beating google maps every time.
download gps status and toolbox it will fix your issues. If not then return the phone is your best bet..
ok, let me try that. i drove through Houston last week and my navigation thought i was onbthe road but i was on the katy toll

Like playya said,

Download this, reset your GPS, if it still wont work I'd take the phone in for a replacement. My GPS wouldn't lock on last night, I had to use this to get it to work.
I had the issue above but once i reset the phone it seems to be very quick in pinpointing my location
working ok now. lets see when i get into san diego tonight service sucks here in pensacola

I tried the app but navigation just says searching for gps?
Any ideas?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
that's what mine said constantly. i used the app then restarted the gps and eventually out started working.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Unless I'm missing something, there's a thread hiding in the Dev section that's supposed to fix GPS troubles. I don't know if it's a different issue from what you're having, but thought I'd put that out there.
I tried searching for it. Can't find it in dev.
My gps sucks! It's useless
I tried the apps and resetting gps cache. Still nothing

I have a weird problem with my phone. Every so often, my phone wjll vibrate twice, in two really short bursts that arent powerful at all. It is completely random. And whenever im playing music, it will stop the music for 5 seconds. If anyone knows what this is it would be greatly appreciated because this is happening on my new phone, as well as my last two galaxy s 2's (ive gotten 3 replacements)

What apps do you have that give off frequent notification? Do you have facebook, friendcaster, word w/f, etc.? Can you give us a small run down?
you can also download betterbatterystats (free here on XDA) and look at what frequently runs perhaps it appears as a wakelock.
or you can always look at logcat

It's a kernel crash. It's a part of android. It usually happens to let you know that it crashed but android reloads where it last left off. Hence the reason for the gap in music. If you press home immediately after you will catch it trying to finish reloading.

Try running master's kernel cleanser and reinstalling the kernel, that's a place to start

Is the same app running every time it happens? It may be a 3rd party app that isn't completely compatible running on your phone. Try deleting any third party widgeta.. then going into your task manager and clearing your memory. Then add one widget at at time til it starts doing it. If it doesn't do it, then open one of your e eryday apps at a time till you have the vibrating again. You may find some crappy lil app that you installed is causing all the problems.

My gps is constantly going off recently which never happened before. I can't figure out why, though. Hoping there is a way to tell which app is causing it

You could get BetterBatteryStats to see which process triggers it.
Although, if you have it turned off and location access off, it shouldn't trigger on it's on. Unless you gave permission to a app to do so (like facebook).
Anyone ever have the home, menu, back, and search keys not function properly? Doesn't seem to be an issue with the ROM as I have tried a couple and have the problem on both all of a sudden.
By not function properly, I mean not function at all. Hitting those buttons has no effect.
Any ideas?

Started happening on ascension oblivion after about 3 weeks of using the ROM. Switched to chillybeans cm10.1 to see if that would fix it but no luck. I have also tried doing a few full wipes and reinstalling both ROMs.
Thinking about going back to stock to see if that fixes it, but really don't want to.

Look up liblights fix. works for me every time. flash in recovery boot go into terminal emulator
type
su(enter)
liblights.sh(enter)
n choose zero
type "reboot" (no quotes)https://www.dropbox.com/s/cxg5emnjhhsc7bh/Lights_Library_Config.zip
Turning them on didn't seem to fix my issue. However turning them off completely and using the navbar in cm 10.1 is working for me for now. Thanks for the tip.
Is it possible that the buttons not working is a hardware issue?

Do you have a screen protector on? I've never heard of em having issues though sorry to say.. of course i twist mine a little side to side outta boredom.. Semi take it apart you might have dust or dirt in there
No, don't have a screen protector on. I haven't heard of them not working either. Unfortunately, my phone is my only source of internet access for the next few days. So its not easy to do much research.
