I've just got the OTA 4.4.4 update on my UK M8 on vodafone and the compass is now responding in Google Maps and Locus and points the correct direction. Accurate Compass still complains it needs recalibrating but seems ok to me so problem solved by the looks of it !

I contacted HTC today regarding my ticket and was told they are aware of an issue with ALL M8's following the update and a bug fix/es is due in the next release. I was talking to UK support and they put the release date as mid october 'so anytime now'. Obviously I'm not 100% confident that this...

at least this rules out any carrier specific firmware mods..it's also worth approaching a high street outlet if your supplier has one. Carphonewarehouse said the HTC reps visit every couple of weeks so they would raise it with them...worth tackling it from multiple angles as until I have a...

I took the phone back to carphonewarehouse And showed the guy who swapped for a new one no probs...luckily I'm still in my first week of contract. In store, all seemed ok with the new one....googlemaps rotating the pointer correctly. Having had it a day at home I noticed the compass needed...

it's not just you...Had my new HTC One M8 from Vodafone last week having vowed to never get another HTC after 5 replacements of an HTC One X over the last 2 years. Tried to use Locus maps yesterday and thought it was odd the map view wasn't rotating..tried GPS essentials and no response on...
