My Xperia10plus cannot use the compass, and the specific data of the compass can not be detected normally in the native version of SailFish AIIDI64 (but the magnetometer can be used normally). The inability to use the compass caused various map software running on "Android Software Support" to not correctly locate the direction I was facing. I am not good at finding paths，This function is very important to me, and I hope to solve this problem.

thanks I can confirm that compass is not working on my X10+ either. The application 'Compass' from @lpotter in the Jolla Store is clearly showing the issue as well.

JollaCompass (scaling added) from ade works for me. OrienteeringCompass (scaling added) from ade does not. Even though I have a Xperia X Compact it's probably the samd issue with 3.3.0.14. Previous version worked without problems. Also you need to calibrate the compass once in a while by waving the phone in an 8 like shape. Try it. Works wonders sometimes.

OrienteeringCompass (scaling added) from ade should work now on 3.3.0 Rokua with the version 1.0.4-1.

In my case (Xperia 10plus, SFOS 3.3.0.16) native apps don't work. Some compass apps from Openrepos I tried, as well as Pure Maps don't show the correct orientation. However, the Messwerk app continuously shows changed data in all axes when rotating the device.

What's interesting is that Android apps do work well. Both Komoot and Here Maps rotate the map correctly according to device orientation.
