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.

Go into Diagnosis(call ##634#) and enter *#0*# and press Compass near the bottom right of the screen.
There, you have a built-in compass app.
It seems this trick also works on NoDo, just that it's more jumpy whereas Mango is perfectly smooth.
If it doesn't work, you may need to re-calibrate your compass.
Refer to the video on how to do it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP3d00Hr14o
I know it's an iPhone in the video, but just follow the same figure 8 motion with the compass activated. It should work after you do it.
UPDATE: For those on Mango, it is highly recommended that you uninstall your Diagnosis app and re-install it to get the latest version, Diagnosis_DU ver0628
There are reports that this does not work on HTC Devices. As of now, I can only confirm that it works on Samsung Omnia 7
Sorry, but how do I get to "diagnosis" screen in order to enter the code?
Go to phone, and dial ##634#. After that, when you exit, the app will appear in the app list on your phone.
Mine doesn't show any reading under the "Deg" value nor does the actual compass image turn. Is that what's supposed to happen?
Only the X, Y and Z values change...

You can try rebooting your phone.
If it doesn't help, you may need to re-calibrate your compass.

I followed your steps but my omnia's compass still stays uncalibrated. It works on compass 7 but not in diagnosis. Did i miss something
Doesn't work with HD7, does it? oO

Uninstall the diagnosis app then reinstall it. Now, it should show Diagnosis_DU ( ver0628) at the top left. Then, try accessing the compass again.

Not sure. I'm using an omnia 7.
You might want to try and update the results here, so other users will know as well.

I did that and it doesn't work. Could have been an issue with my device, so I thought I'd better ask.
It's not working on HTC device.

Uninstalling then re-entering ##634# updated my diagnosis version and now compass works! Awesome tip and thanks
Worked for my Omnia 7 too! Thanks!
The few I tried were all jittery and didn't move.

I think your confused as to what I'm referring to. I'm talking about apps to find out where planets are.
the one v does not have a compass so programs like sky maps won't align themselves with the sky automatically and they act all jittery. you need to turn on some sort of manual mode and drag the map around with your finger. i use google sky map this way.

Thanks. I was wondering if there was one with a GPS compass. My GPS apps can tell which way I'm moving when I am. I was reading about 2 or 3 different kind of compass modes. The compass is the one thing I'm regretting buying my One V over. Probably gonna switch up to a OneS. Thank you for the helpful response. Cheers.
Hi guys sorry if this is a silly question but I am wondering if the accelerometer on the Sony Smartwatch 2 is activated on the default firmware. I know the Pebble's wasn't until the recent update. According to reading there definitely seems to be one: https://developer.sony.com/develop/wearables/smartwatch-2-apis/guides/hardware-specifications/ but I haven't found an application that actually uses it.
Is it possible to to use it to track your steps via the accelerometer without having to have the phone in your pocket (but obviously having to be within Bluetooth range)?
Unless perhaps my accelerometer on my specific SW2 is broken.
Thanks in advance!
If you download the examples from Sony for developing for SW2, there is an axample app for the sensor.
Anyway the sensibility of the sensor only makes it suitable for detecting movement and turn on screen accordingly and no much more I guess
It's active. I know of 3 apps off the top of my head that use it. Yes, it can be used as a step counter. I know of one app that uses it for that, but it only works when the app is open.

Thanks for the reply. Could you tell me which app it is that counts steps?
According to the attached picture extracted from the Sony site there is definitely an accelerometer capable of being a pedometer. The app I have (walkmate) only counts my step with my phone in my pocket - i.e. it is only using the watch as a display and not a counter.

Hi everyone,
I just updated my Sony smart Watch 3 and the compass option has disappeared off the map app. I only have centre, searching around you and +-. Prior to the update I had the option to let the display to rotate as you moved which was really good. Has anyone else got the problem. All my apps on my s5 and the watch are up to date.
cheers

I just thought it was me, I have posted a thread on the Android wear help forum too.
What version of Maps on your phone? Maybe 9.13.0 killed it? I still have it with 9.12.1
Edit: well crap. I may still have the compass rotation, but just realized I have the compass bug that makes it unreliable.
Here's pumpytums' thread on the google forums. Google is looking for feedback from users on this.

Thanks for that you are exactly right I downgraded to 9.12.1 and compass function came back.
So the temporary fix is to keep maps at 9.12.1

Does anyone know of a setting or anything that would keep the compass from working? I've tried doing a hard reset twice now and it still won't work. I may try returning it and getting another watch if I can't get it to work.
There is no compass.

I swear I used to be able to use a watch face with a compass and it would work just fine. Also would work with compass apps on the phone.

Can confirm, there is really no compass. No use in getting the watch replaced.
Which watchface were you using?
Dark suite and classic watch faces have compass. You guys are silly hehehehe
