Hello.

So it's been a few days that the compass on my s24 ultra points the wrong way. Even after calibrating.

Unaceptable for such an expensive phone.

Any solutions? Or is just broken?

Thanx.

Hello. No. It was in the edge app (where there's the tally counter, level, torch, ruler...).

However I found the culprit. It was the magnets on the case. I've cut them off, now works ok.

Thanks anyway.

Best regards

Is it a compass within an app like Google Maps?

My case hasn't got any magnets but the compass still points the wrong way. Am I missing something?

The issue happens when orientation lock is enabled and you lock your phone. 

To solve this issue you may disable orientation lock, rotate phone from portrait to landscape and then back. This issue often happens in Google Maps.
