Does every have issues with this in apps such as Google Sky Maps? Tracking of stars/planets are WAY off. I'll turn the phone around, point it up and down, and the screen either barely moves, or jumps so far out of position that it isn't useful either way.
Anyone else have this issue?

I finally was able to download the latest radio and get GPS to work (it wouldnt do anything prior to the download) but now I have a new issue. When GPS is on and tracking my location the blue triangle that shows your location and direction of travel keeps going sideways. It will be straight for a minute and going my direction, then turn 90 degrees counterclockwise and stay that way (moving sideways). Any fixes?/
My apologies if this is discussed elsewhere, but I have not been able to find the answer.
While using Google Maps Navigation with the phone's screen off it seems to shut off the gps receiver as it tells me GPS signal has been lost about 30 seconds after the screen turns off. As soon as I turn the screen back on it reacquires satellites and resumes navigation. I like to keep the screen off so the nice robot lady can tell me which way to go and I am not tempted to constantly look at my phone screen. If anyone knows if this is normal or a way to keep gps on while navigating I would appreciate the info.
Resolution?
Did anyone ever respond? I have the same issue myself.
I have the E980 and am really happy with it, but lately it's been acting weird where it will just randomly wake up and go to the lock screen for no apparent reason, no new texts or anything. Even if I physically press the lock button to lock it back up, it keeps happening. Has anyone else had this issue and know how to fix it? I'm also *relatively* new to android, is there some setting I don't know about? Thanks!
Hey I actually figured it out! In case anyone else has this issue, get WakeLock Detector from the Play store. It figured it out for me instantly, it turned out to be some Tron Light Bike game
Hello.
It seems my phone need compass calibration (rotating phone in 3 axles) pretty much every time I open any application that uses compass.
In google maps for example the arrow never points to the correct direction, no matter how much I rotate the phone. In fact the compass doesn't work for a while in any app, it takes quiet a few seconds or even minutes before it shows some life, usually it starts working after gps lock, but even then it can be off by 180 degree...
In GPS Status app it's very noticeable. I can place the phone on a table and start rotating it, the compass stays still or jumps all over the screen, depends on the phones angle. Then when left alone the compass arrow constantly moves.
Anyone else have this issue?
Yes, I have the same problem. Very unreliable in TW ROMs, and isn't working at all in CM11.
Mine works fine, it does need calibration once in a while, but once I do that it stays good. Can't say how it works with maps since I always use North up, I get too confused if the map rotates according to my movement. Do you use s-view or any type of magnetic mount etc? That could affect compass and require frequent calibration, I think.
So Just got the 360 as a birthday present to myself. However I am having buyers remorse right now. I want to keep the screen on in ambient mode however it does not work. I have tried with it on and off to no avail. Screen just turns off after 5 seconds. Why is this not working? Am I missing something? I have searched Google for hours and found nothing. This is driving me mad. Also my wrist gesture do not work i was under he impression that when you bring the watch up to your face the screen will come on. Is it possible mine is just a dud?
Any thoughts on how to fix this, as well as any apps that may force screen to stay on?
Turning the wrist with the watch towards me in a single quick move is sufficient.
So the issue was a broken gyroscope or accelerometer. Returned to store for a new one and ambient works fine as does the raise to view time. If any noobies have this issue I would suggest returning for a new one.
