GPS navigation problems after upgrading to 23.4.A.1.200

balaustre — Thu, 01 Oct 2015 15:36:45 GMT

After updating my Z3 Compact to firmware version 23.4.A.1.200, when I use a navigation app my position (the dot) is displayed correctly but my direction (the arrow) is displayed towards the opposite direction. Navigating is not convinient anymore, because if I go North my devide believes I'm soing South and, therefore, gives me the wrong commands. ¿Is there anything I can do to fix it or do I have to wait for a new update that solves the problems caused by this one?

I've checked with Google Maps & HERE Maps and they work as expected. You could try to calibrate your compass sensor. Just look for any Compass app on Google Play. There are quite a few of free ones.

Another way to do it is going into Service Mode:

Enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialler.
Select "Service tests".
Select "Compass".
Follow the on screen instructions to calibrate the compass.

Hope it helps.
