I'm thinking about taking my Eris back for the following issue: the magnetometer is totally nuts. Is anyone else experiencing these symptoms?
Possibly related symptoms:
any reset procedure or something I should try before taking it in? Thanks for the help.
- jumpy/erratic/nonexistent compass mode behavior in street view
- ditto for google sky map
- "Compass" app (by Snaptic) always tells me I have an abnormal magnetic field and to recalibrate
- recalibration only lasts for one app launch, if that. I have to recalibrate every time I launch an app
- i look like a damn fool waving my phone around in awkward figure 8s all the dang time
- both Compass and the "Metal Detector" app routinely report values between 200 and 220 (out of 40...?)
Possibly related symptoms:
- battery life sucks (not actually related i dont think but i can dream)
- zero bars in places my old phone (same carrier) got full bars, dropping to 1x all the dang time, etc.
- GPS will sometimes report me in other parts of my state, hundreds of miles away (yes, GPS, not wifi network detection)
- GPS jumps around like crazy and takes a long time to update correctly (on a regular basis)
any reset procedure or something I should try before taking it in? Thanks for the help.
