Xperia Sp Compass

Hi SonyMobile,

i would buy sony xperia sp but i need to know i compass works (well) on this phone.

In the whitepaper there is "magnetometer: no", but this video

and this image

show that there's a magnetic sensor.

So, has xperia sp the magnetometer or not?

And if not, why at these links we can see that there's magnetic sensor working?

Thank you,

Stefano

P.S.

Anyone that have this phone can try to use a compass application and say if it works or not? Thanks very much!

*#*#7378423#*#* -> Service tests -> Compass

It shows values of sensor. It's working so compass is present. If I do remember correctly compass is the same chip as gyroscope.

You can buy this device if you need compass...

BTW. This phone is awsome. :smileygrin:

Battery is quiet well. Slightly_smiling_Face I'm suprised of phone on time. Slightly_smiling_Face

Camera cloud be better, but think we can expect SW update which will improve camera quality.

Good phone - nice price. Slightly_smiling_Face

BEST CHOOSE IN THIS PRICE AND CLASS...
