Compass interference message - anyone else getting this repeatedly?

[eoren1]

Every time I access the compass on iPhone4, I get a message that there is interference and the phone needs to be moved in a figure 8. This occurs with the compass map as well as when switching to compass mode in the Maps app. Anyone else seeing this happen?

I got this nearly every time I used maps on a trip to England this month, on a 3GS running OS4 GM. I think it must be an OS4 bug.

When I start it up it usually says that but I move it around for like 2 seconds it starts to work

Yes, ever since the first day of the 3GS. The compass in these things barely works.

Haven't tried the compass on iPhone 4 yet, but Compass Interference happened just about EVERY time I tried to use it on my 3G S, under both 3.x and 4.x.

I got this message when I opened the app in my car coming home from the AT&T store. I assumed it was from the built-in compass in my car.

I only get it in my car using Google maps. It's because my stereo. Otherwise, my CoPilot Live works wonders even in my car now that they've fixed the display issue.
