My compass is spinning like crazy on my Android N - Nexus 6P

On my nexus 6P (Android N beta) my compass will NOT stop spinning around in a circle like crazy.

It was working yesterday and I have not updated since then so I don't know what changed. From what I can tell the compass says it's calibrated and it works.

Compasses all work the same way.

Turn the phone 3 times in each axis and it should work again. (You have to do that every time you want the compass to be accurate.) If not, there's a hardware problem in the phone.

Or realize you are using beta software and without fail, something is usually broken.

ninja edit: And a quick google search about this shows a lot of people with the complaint of "sensors not working in N beta preview 4". So there ya go.
