No app recognizes digital compass sensor in my Alcatel Pixi

According to every single datasheet I found on the net, my Alcatel One Touch PIXI 3 4013D should have a digital compass sensor. However, every compass app I install says there is none. Should I turn it on with some obscure configuration option? There's nothing about it in any of phone menus. Any better ideas?

I have the same problem with Pixi 3 4009E.
I downloaded GPS status & toolbox and when I opened it a message said:"this phone doesn't have a compass sensor"!!!!!!!!
Is it really possible?
