Default [Q] Compass not working in CM7?

Hello, I'm using fjfalcon's CM7 (2012-05-06). I noticed the other day the compass doesn't seem to work. In Google Maps, I get a location but no orientation, and in c:geo (a geocaching app) I get location but it assumes I'm facing North.

I also downloaded a few compass apps (Compass and Smart Compass) and neither of those got a reading (assumed I was facing North).

Does anyone else have the same issue?

I just tried doing that for a while and it didn't have any effect. One thing I noticed is in the video the demonstrator's compass moved. Mine stays locked at North no matter what I do.

I've always had luck doing the calibration moves with Ulysse Gizmos

Just tried using that app. No results. I also tried calibrating while using GPS Status & Toolbox and got no results.
