Guest whashnez Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Hello! OK so I installed several ROMs. Many of 'em. GPS is getting on my nerves though. I have NDrive. It is not stable at all. It rotates, it reports my position as off road, it gets stuck. Compass is not accurate at all either and Sky maps does not make any sense if I move the device. ALSO When I tap and hold on screen to scroll while eg in contacts, if I keep my finger on the screen it is not stable it goes up and down a little bit. I am now on H3 blues, though previously I was on CM 7.2, and before that CFX CM9. I mean, come on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aamiel Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 On many apps, compass is wrong on CM based ROMs so that is not a surprise. On other ROMS you need to calibrated the compass from time to time by rotating the phone on itself a few times. Also phone GPSs are not that good if you are just beside the road don't be surprised within 5m of your location is not bad really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How exactly can I recalibrate my compass (magnetometer)? Just by moving it around? How? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest C3C0 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Put it on a flat surface and drive with it like with a car in an 8 shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest whashnez Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Put it on a flat surface and drive with it like with a car in an 8 shape. Whenever? For example even on the lockscreen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aamiel Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 To calibrate the magnetometer, you need to be running an app that uses it and while the app is running, drive your phone around the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've definitely also noticed it. I just think the digitizer isn't very precise, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest omegavesko Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I haven't had many problems with GPS myself, but you're right, sky map is completely unusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
