Hi All
for the first time in my Android life, i've kept my phone 100% stock
However, im curious to know if the compass issues have been fixed by custom rom devs?
By issues, i mean Maps constantly telling me to calibrate the compass, and GPS intensive applications (such as Pokemon GO, or others) appear have some minor tracking issues.
I've done some quick searching through the top ROM threads but was unable to find anything
Any thoughts?
Forgot to also add the sensitivity with the screen rotation. I guess that's the gyroscope?

I've never had a good compass, and I don't know what the big problem is.

Compass is not working (model 9023 Dutch). I'am not the only one reporting this. Apps like streetview are not working in compass mode.
When running GPS status the needle is pointing everywhere but the right direction. Callibrate does not work.
Anybody an idea if this a hardware or software issue?
there have been reports that the nfc chip affects the compass. try removing the back to see if it helps. though the back plate is only one part of the nfc system i think.
I tried it without the backcover with no results. Nfc is turned of btw because its of no use in holland.
me too..my i9023 have the bug..
who is same too?
You should star this issue so Google is urged to fix it!
The following quote is from another "defective compass" thread:

compass needs calibration
Hi,
I have the same problem on i9023, the compass needs calibration after each boot... without calibration the compass is stuck...
In which file calibration results are stored ? because those results seem lost when the phone is turned off
I gave up. The compass is a failing in every way. I could sent it back, but there are reports that a replacement has the same issues. The sensors are a piece of crapp or the software can not handle them properly. Either way this sucks.

Compass not working
Hey,
I've tried calibrating the compass on my Nexus S numerous times.
We have 4 Nexus S' in the house, each with the same problem.
Compass never calibrates.
Google SkyMap doesn't work because of this issue.
Does anyone know if there is a fix?
I've noticed some links to report it to google so that's what I'll do but does anyone know why this is happening? I tried the backplate removal, nothing.
On all 4 phones I am running : I9020, KD1, GRJ22. Android 2.3.4
Hi, you can return your phone(s) because its a design failure. But I didn't because the nexux S is still a great phone. There a threads about this issue, but amazingly enough not that many that samsung or google feel the urge to take action. I would expect massive complaints, but probally a compass is not a first requirement for many people. Strange because even Maps is not working good if you navigate during walking.

Is anyone else having a slight misalignment on the touch screen?
For me touch is shifted about a millimeter or two to the right.
I've checked on both my N4 and my sister's N4 and both of us seem to be having this slight misalignment.
Both of us have REV 11 N4's. One was obtained through T-Mobile in January, the other was obtained through Google Play just last month.
I've checked on a few roms. I've tried CM, PA, and Stock with a multitude of different kernels (Franco, Faux, Trinity, CM, and stock).
To check:
1. Enable "Show touches" under the Developer menu.
2. Touch a part of the screen where you'll be able to see the touch bubble and hold it there.
3. Look at the screen at angle to see under your finger.
It's not a big deal, just something I've noticed when I had difficulty trying to use PIE on the left side of the screen. Although, I still would love to be able to get the screen recalibrated to have more accurate touch sensitivity to eliminate the difficulty that I have with CM's PIE.
Another question: Is anyone aware of any LG diagnostic tool to calibrate the screen? I remember back on the HTC sensation there was a file that you could load through HBOOT and get your screen calibrated from there.
Photo attached.
Oh wow I never noticed this , I have the same thing, never really had problems with it
Btw I have an older model , so its not just a Rev11 thing

Mine looks like its right on when I test. Maybe just a hair over to the right but nowhere near as far off as yours. Rev11 302K

I'm pretty sure you have OCD. So, take some medicine. Your phone is fine, stop crying. :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::good:
Nope...
I thought I was just trippin when I noticed the same thing last week
Just tested and confirmed, pretty significant misalignment by about 1 cm, which is a LOT when you're talking about a <5" touch screen..
My next thought is, is this a software issue?
We need more people to test and confirm. But I believe that is what we will find. Software issue.
Anyone with a Nexus 7 on stock 4.2.2, please also test and report.
Wow never thought anyone else was experiencing this, mine seems to be off since I always have to touch a little higher than what I'm going for even nav bar.

Notified the same thing while playing Draw Something, I thought I was mad
Tapalked with my iNexus 4S
Nobody tested a Nexus 7 yet?
I'll test my wife's when I get home and post the results
Could not reproduce the issue on the Nexus 7. Looks like it's specific to the Nexus 4

I would think that it's a software issue. My HTC sensation was able to have it's screen recalibrated. I think LG would have some kind of tool to be able to do it.
Same exact issue here but I wouldn't even notice if I didn't try

For me its OK all stock
Mines fine, right where it should be.

My Nexus 4's compass is only pointing south. It shifts slightly to the east/west when I turn but doesn't move very much. I've made sure that there is no magnetic interference around, took the bumper off, and have tried several reboots. I noticed this a few days ago in the Ingress app, and confirmed the issue with a compass app. I am running the stock ROM (rooted) on the latest version of Jelly Bean (JWR66Y). I suspect it may be a bug in the software because my sister (in a completely different part of the world) is reporting that her compass is also stuck on south on her Nexus 4 (also stock but not rooted). I suppose it is possible that we both have faulty compass sensors, but since this is a recent issue that I only noticed sometime after the recent Jelly Bean update, I was wondering if others were experiencing this issue as well. Thank you for your responses and potential solutions.
Have you tried calibrating it? Hold your phone in your hand and make figure 8s with your wrist. I have no clue what that's supposed to look like though

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have already tried to calibrate it several times since I noticed the problem.

Happens to me when my Nexus is placed in my wireless charger in my car.
Could you please report if your touchscreen has gotten better or worse afer the update?:fingers-crossed:
Some people are saying that it fixed everything for them, but I just saw someone who said that multitouch has become unusable...
For me it definietly made it, and as I see it became smoother...

It's vastly improved for me on 4.4.2

But the ghost touch bug is still present. I think this is hardware issue but cannot find any service manual to investigate
Good as gold as with all releases since 4.4
nothing changes
I've seen a little bit of improvement, but I also only had problems under some app-specific conditions. Though, I've noticed the N7 is unusually sensitive to hand/finger temperature. If my hands are even remotely cool, I can't get anything to work. Meanwhile, my S4 in a condom Otterbox Defender reads touches just fine even with freezing hands.

Its not good! i have problem with multitouch and battery life is down!! and i see a bit lack in this new version!(4.4.2 - Nexus 7 LTE ) .... pls Help me .... how to fix it?

Just updated from 4.4 to 4.4.2. I feel the touchscreen is improved a lot. The transition is smoother.

4.2.2 almost fixes my DEB model
Hi,
My tablet is one of the unlucky ones which were not fixed by sfhub's patches.
Fortunately, the 4.2.2 OTA makes my tablet smoother. Except for 1 inch strip of non-responsive space (little below the top vertical position), things work fine. I see no ghost touches and multi-touch works fine as long as I dont touch that 1 inch part.
Hmm, it takes 3 OTAs and lot of belief in customers like me to get to this state!
Perfect so far since 4.4. Also, tested ungrounded with one and two fingers with Google Maps and no issues.
I haven't tested 4.4.2, but I WAS using SfHubs ts20 on 4.3.
I flashed the TouchScreen Unlock and then back to 100% stock 4.3 and updated to 4.4 naturally using the OTA procedure. Then updated to 4.4.1.
I tested all along the way and it seems to have helped some. Typing isn't as big as a problem but there are still missed touches and generally sucks trying to play action games. 4.4.1 seemed to help a bit again.
I'm going to try this again with 4.4.2 since I've heard good things. If this doesn't fix it, I'm sending it off to Asus. I've heard they are now replacing the touchscreen driver boards with different ones which basically means it is a hardware problem and they know it.
I haven't tried the "stock" drivers yet, still using TS09 but I will revert back tomorrow.
I got a old Nexus 7 from my mobile operator the other day.. damn, what a dream touch wize.. Why cant Nexus 7 FHD work like this? :/ I can actually TYPE on the old Nexus.
Mine seems to be mostly resolved since 4.4.

I would appreciate if anyone can help.
I cant stand TW, but running CM13/AOSP I have realized that GPS timeline tracking that I use for Google Maps, Flo & Waze is not as consistent as on stock or ported TouchWiz! I have just had a look at my google timeline the last week, skips in fixes both on the move and when at home or the office, with TW ROMs It would consistently have pinpoint accuracy, auto-drive gps recording was also on point.
I noticed in an app [TopNTP 1.1 by Zatta] If you preview the gps.conf script for Samsung devices, there is extra sensor data added - Could this be the difference?
Can anyone explain how I get this accurate GPS experience back? any method or gps config you would like to suggest would be appreciated
Have you seen the gps fix in development .Not used it myself as cannot stand non TW.

No I havent seen it, Is it in note 3 development forum? I have had a look across all forums and found little reliable info.
PS- A while ago you suggested I switch from twrp to cwm_philz; I now use philz and ROMs have been so much more stable, it didnt seem logical at first but now I know why people swear by using philztouch recovery.. thanks.
