The native compass app is not working at all when its set to true north, the pointer is just pointing at exactly north the whole time and does not move anywhere when i rotate the phone, and it does not show any degrees, just two horizontal lines.
When I tried another compass app from the App Store the pointer moved in that app, but it was clearly pointing in the wrong direction.
When I turn "true north" off in settings the native compass app starts to work again?
Anybody knows why this happens?
Is it possible to manually calibrate the compass?
[doublepost=1556436806][/doublepost]EDIT: Okay so it seems I found out what the problem was. I had the "compass calibration" setting in privacy settings/location services/system services turned off.
I turned it on and now it seems to work okay. But i´m still interested if one can manually calibrate the compass somehow. I think I read something about that there are apps in the App Store that allows you to do that, don't know if that info is accurate though? Or is there no need at all to be able to manually calibrate it, does it always do it automatically?
