Compass issues, how can I fix it?

[Don_Henry]

Maybe I was sold something other than a Nexus 5x in a Nexus 5x box. I got out my old compass, fired up Google Maps and the little dot showing "You are Here" pointed north when the Nexus pointed north. Apparently, my compass is okay. But that's not half the problem. I don't have a problem with battery drain. I charge my batter every three days or so. I haven't had a problem with lagging or stuttering. My notifications do offer me the appropriate alternatives for reply or delete or whatever. My sound seems to be fine and I use my Bluetooth earphones to listen to music when I walk my dog. No problems there, either.

So, maybe my Nexus 5x isn't really a Nexus 5x. Maybe it's something else that will run Android 7 beta 5. It's too small to be a Nexus 6p. Aha! It's the super-secret Nexus 6p mini.

I must have the same secret Nexus model that you do - since I have the same experiences that you do!

Keep it quiet or there'll be a high demand for the mini-Nexus 6p.

Re: Compass issues

I just got my 5X yesterday and the compass seems to be screwed up. It starts off at least 60 degrees off and when I rotate the phone it sometimes jumps 90 degrees or more. It also changes when I go from having the phone parallel to the ground and then tip it up to perpendicular. This seems to happen with any app that displays direction. I've tried all of the figure eight and rotate in different axis maneuvers with no result.

Any suggestions?

i have solved the same problem by removing the magnets was seamlessly embedded in the phone case.
