Revision history [back]

On previous version, compass didn't work on Sailfish apps, but it worked on Android apps. On my device, it's highly inaccurate. The error can be up to around 90 degrees, depending on device orientation.

Jolla people promised they will fix the compass in the current Sailfish OS version, so I waited for it before raising this question. Compass now works on Sailfish apps as well, but it's still inaccurate.

I've tried to calibrate the Hall sensors using GPS Status & Toolbox app, without success. HERE WeGo prompted me to calibrate the compass by waving my phone around which I did. Nothing happened.

Is there any way of calibrating the Hall sensors (and accelerometers for that matter) using a native Sailfish app, or something? Or, maybe, fixing the Dalvik so that Android apps could do it?
