Dammit!

My compass is acting out a scene from the movie predators. Tf!!
My wife's is good, as always.

yeah, mine is off too. I dont use my compass much so it's not a big deal to me, as long as my maps can show correct directions... Hopefully Sammy will get this fixed soon. I can see this being a big issue for alot of folks that use it.

Do me a favor please. Go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post your Baseband Version. On the Samsung forum, everyone, myself included has been reporting their baseband version ending in CSAA with NO ONE Reporting anything else. Was wondering if that is the bad guy.

Sure no problem , you use the forums in the Samsung plus app?

 

[Brad Bilger]

Yes Sir. There is a thread in the Note 9 section over this same bug. One of the moderators has reported it to R&D and they are requesting input from the users. If you are having a problem, They are looking for your Model number, Baseband Version and Carrier. They seem to be trying to pin it down.,

With the compass not working properly, does navigation via Google Maps still work?

 

[B. Diddy]

Nav should still work, because it relies on GPS. It'll know which direction you're going based on the accelerometer. The only problem it'll have is knowing which direction you're facing if you're standing still, since that would rely on a compass: https://android.stackexchange.com/q...-compass-to-show-the-direction-you-are-facing

Boy, there's a couple of idiots over there, hugh Brad?

 

[zoggybottom]

Thanks!

 

[jimd1050]

Thanks!

...aimed at the couple of guys ranting, not wanting to help and immediately wanting a new phone!

 

[mustang7757]

why isn't the compass in the edge panel a widget that we can put on home screen? Would a compass from play store be a better option?

Don't worry, I'm pretty sure zoggybottom was saying thanks to me for posting my link.

Now all of a sudden, all my compasses are working! For how long I don't know. I wonder if they snuck something in with the security update. Would there be a changelog for what they sent out?

What is your current firmware version?

PPR1.180610.011.N960USQU1CSAA . i believe that's it, build number? Anyhow mine has not been working just like everyone else's. Out of the blue I tried it this morning and all my apps with compasses are working and none of them worked since the update. The only things that were done to this phone since last night was I installed Night Sight and there was a security update, nothing else. Go figure
