Compass not accurate

[keizj]

Compass unable to be calibrated in Google Maps.

I have tried the service test (1. Open the phone app 2. Dial *#*#7378423#*#* 3. Service tests 4. Compass 5. Calibrate the compass) and calibrated the compass.

However, Google Maps still shows low accuracy. There's a similar thread in Xperia XA1 as well so it's not just affecting XA1 Ultra users.

1) avoid of any magnetic near you

2) remove case and try again

3) are you living near Airport?

4) any High Power Generators or Convertors near you? try to collibrate outside of your home.

5) check your home for any electro magnetic waves, high power cabels inside of walls, Radars near you, working Microwave devices, UFO objects, Cell Towers, Satellite transmitters....etc

PS: Google Maps uses LBS and GPS for navigation, and not a Compass !
