2424.10.11.1 compass and firmware

---

I have a Samsung Omnia 7. But the compass is not working. I have updated my phone through Zune, to Windows Phone 7.5.

I have one problem: the compass is not working. With Google I found some people with the same problem, the all talking about the this: 2424.10.11.1 (the firmware).

Is this firmware outdated and how can I get newer one, which maybe solve the compass problem...

OS version: 7.10.7740.16
Firmware revision number: 2424.10.11.1
Hardware revision number: 3.15.0.4
Radio software version: 2424.11.9.1
Radio hardware version: 0.0.0.800
Bootloader version: 5.9.0.6
Chip SOC version: 0.36.2.0

mine is fine, but sometime it has interference and even after successfully calibrated it still point to the wrong direction

My firmware :


OS version: 7.10.7740.16
Firmware revision number: 2424.11.11.1
Hardware revision number: 3.15.0.4
Radio software version: 2424.11.9.1
Radio hardware version: 0.0.0.800
Bootloader version: 5.11.0.3
Chip SOC version: 0.36.2.0

PDA : I8700XXKK1
Phone : I8700XXKI1
CSC : I8700XECKK1

And the Compass is ok.

But I've no idea how to force the firmware update, but i give you the last firmware revison number, you maybe can find info with that.

Have you ever updated your radio ROM without updating the firmware? Well, I did. I was on JJ6 (10.10.6) originally, then somewhere after NoDo I updated the radio to KC1, but not the firmware as I didn't want my windows to be reset. Unfortunately, this meant that the firmware stayed at JJ6 after all the subsequent windows updates. And I had the same problem - the compass didn't work.

I just completely reflashed my phone to JK1 (10.11.1) using the firmware that can be found on samfirmware.com, and then went to the whole update process. Now, I'm at:

OS 7.10.7740.16
Firmware 2424.11.9.2
Hardware 3.15.0.4
Radio Software 2424.11.9.1
Radio Hardware 0.0.0.800
Bootloader 5.9.0.6
Chip SOC 0.36.2.0

And the compass is working now!
