Xperia Z3 Compact Compass wrong direction

XperiaZ3_Compac — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 14:11:39 GMT

In Maps the compass is facing roughly 90 degrees West of the correct direction.

I've tried waving it around in a figure of 8 and it changes slightly (sometimes more accurately, sometimes worse), but eventually it seems to revert back to being wrong by about 90degrees.

Any solutions ?

Are you using a magnetic protective case?

You might want to repair your phone with PCC

If PCC doesn't work then contact your local Xperia

Have a similar issue but in my case compass direction differs in ~60 degrees compared to other Android devices I have on hand.

Compass calibartion doesn't help. I'm just curious could it be a disturbance from Sony DK48 Magnetic Charging Dock I'm using to charge the device ?
