Compass - Radar navigation issue

[Removed] shared this problem 12 years ago
Solved

Compass / Radar is not working correctly on my HTC Desire with Android 2.3.5. Actual position is shown correctly, but not the direction and distance. Does anyone know a fix for this?

Frostik, if there is some issue, I need more information.


Firstly are you using original rom? Then try to calibrate your compass first (do some movement with phone in all directions).


Distance have to be correct. There is no possibility for mistake. At least I`m sure there will be many emails with this issue. Orientation may be wrong mainly because of wrong calibration, so check it please

Hi Frostik-


In Locus, you can simultaneously have a different point selected for guiding and for the compass target. I suspect that may be the issue here.

are you sure Starman? When you enable guiding on map on one point, and on second point you press "Compass", guiding will be switched to second point also. So guiding and compass point only to one same! point

Hmm. That is odd. Now all I can see is the behavior you describe. Perhaps I confused your new map center-to-gps line with the guiding line while I had the guided point off map. Anyway, I stand corrected. If you wish, delete both my posts so as not to propogate confusion.

Hi Menion,


I was outside today doing some tests. I don`t use original ROM, but compass itself works fine (shows North correctly). Also the distance to the point seems to be fine (but I`ll try it in one of the places where I experienced the incorrect value, I did not pay enough attention to the location error). Anyway, the direction is comlpetely incorrect.


I want to try the original ROM, or at least the one with Android 2.2, which was the latest offical version, becasue I experienced similar behaviour at more Gingerbread ROMs.

you have correct orientation to north, distance to point but wrong direction to point? Eh ... so wait with testing to next market version. Aren`t you testing A4.0? Because there may be small issue with current version ...

Hm, in installed apps I see Locus pro version 1.16.3, my Android is 2.3.5.
