Compass needle unstable

[alien12]

Hi everyone!

I have a problem with my compass. I became aware of the problem when I started using Google Sky Map. The display twitches even if the phone is laying on a flat surface. So I downloaded Smart compass to see if this problem is persistent - and it is. In Smart compass the needle is constantly jumping/twitching and the degrees vary by 1 to 10 degrees. As stated, this is very annoying when using any app that uses the compass.

Thx for any help!

Same problem here, it makes the compass, the sky map and many other apps unusable. Is there a fix for this issue already? Or should I return my phone?

I had the same problem (http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/440581) . it's a hardware related issue (probably board) you must return the phone. Xperia P and S has the same issue.

Thank you. So, did you get a good one or did you have to switch to a different phone?
