compass not pointing to North

---

Few days ago I installed skymap and I have shown that the compass is not pointing to North. It points to West . I have tried to fix it recalibrating the compass and placing a hard reset but I have had no luck.
Does anybody know how to fix it?

Sounds like the story of my life.

I saw the same one time in a house. It was because some electricity go through radiators and do a magnetic field

I had this problem before, and just checking now, guess what mine is also pointing west....
Last time it took about a day to right itself, I don't think it is magnetic fields because it would point west in various locations. Indoors or outdoors. Not found a solution yet,

Don't know if this helps - I got mine 'unstuck' by holding in 'portrait' mode, but completely horizontal, with the HTC Compass app open. Then rotating it slowly on it's long axis - i.e. as if you are turning a key - did this back and forth a few times, all the way round. If you watch the screen, at 'half-way' point you see the compass flip back on itself. This seems to have corrected it now - for now at least!

Don't know if this was a fluke, if it's a hardware thing, or if this has just reset some magnetic field. Doing the '8 shape' movements to reset the compass did nothing for me....

Hi guys,

Same problem here.
I bought an unlocked, carrier free HTC Titan in US, brought it to Brazil and the compass is always pointing to south instead of north.
I tried everything, including the hard reset. Still pointing to south.
I hope a firmware update or something fixes that. Really annoying!

Model: HTC TITAN X310e.
OS version: 7.10.8107.79
Firmware: 1600.2200.20104.401
Hardware: 0002

Mine seems to point North just fine.

AT&T HTC Titan
OS 7.10.7720.68
Firmware 1600.2200.11004.502
Hardware 0002

Even though I like my HTC Titan a lot, I have to admit that my compass doesn't work.
(North points sometimes to the NE, sometimes W, or S, etc)
Looking for the problem I found this thread, and also this other thread in WP Central.

Drawing 8s or the other method of holding it in portrait mode didn't work, so if somebody finds another method to recalibrate the compass (rather than a Hard Reset of the device), please let us know.
Thanks.

what's the app?

It is the HTC Compass, but I also noticed the problem applies to other apps like Wikitude.
