Compass Application ?

Is there an application available for the E71 that turns the device itno a compass ?
Something that shows direction of travel North / South / etc
Nokia maps has something similar in 3D map view, (very small and not reliable) but I wanted a pure compass feature.
It's very useful when navigating across open country by traditional map and I just wondered if something was available? and where I can download it?
If not 'Noka' can we have this feature developed please ???

That's right, the compass is based on the GPS data. It seems this is included with E71 , same application which is in newer devices lkike the N97. Not sure folks at Wikitude http://bit.ly/afjRJV are saying E71 doesn't have a compass. It's not a real compass. What it does is whil you move (you have to to calibrate the compass at the beginning) and it takes the data from GPS satellites (maybe also cell towers) and adjusts the directions of compass. If you want to read more about this concept application you can read it hear (don't recommend installing it because this particular compass app is experimental).. http://bit.ly/buCAyV. Perhaps somebody who knows this stuff better can clarify.. And here is the pic and shows compass in action (the one that comes with your phone): http://i39.tinypic.com/11maseu.jpg. Hope this helps.

Compass missing

Hello I'm using Nokia Lumia 720 recently I have reset my phone to factory settings and the cog wheels didn't go for almost 3days I approached Nokia care they fixed the problem and updated it to amber...after the update or reset my camera button is not working and I'm unable to download here citylens app an it is asking for compass ...as per my knowledge 720 is equipped with compass ....can you please help me solve this problem

Hmm... I've had a couple 8900 models and neither had a compass.
It's likely a third party application on hers. On her device, go to the application, does it say the name of the compass application?
Or, go to Options/Settings > Advanced > Applications and scroll through and find the application. Click on it and what is the developer name?

IPhone 4, Flip leather case and the 'Compass' app..just some info

Hello Members, and anyone new to the iPhone 4 with a 'Flip' type case that has a magnetic clasp.
I had just got my new Iphone 4, and after fully updating it to iOS 4.1, I'd successfully managed to fix the screen protector that came with the all 'leather' flip case, and proceeded to slide the Iphone into it's new luxury coat closing it securely.
Leaving it while, and then coming back to my Iphone, I started to explore the device and went straight for the 'compass' app, just to see it working....
I notice it wasn't operating correctly, the app would either be really difficult to calibrate, and when it did, the pointer would not be stable and jerked around a lot.
Anyway...I found the 'flip' case to have been a bad choice purely because of a design flaw, see the phone kept wanting to slide out as I would use it, so off I went to buy another one.
I settled for one which was made of plastic, it was a black 'enclosure' type and even included the screen protector built into it, so no having to mess about with sticky thin films either..great, just snap the two half's together...job done!
Again, back at home and in the same location, I again started to explore the iPhone going from browser to app, and again fell back onto the 'compass' application, only this time it worked flawlessly, no having to 'calibrate' and re-calibrate, no jerking from the pointer, it worked smoothly and faultlessly, and then it had occurred to me as to why this might be.....?
The Iphone's directional tech is influenced by magnetic fields, regardless of whether it's 'geographic' north or 'magnetic' north, and was being influenced by the magnet that was contained in the clasp of the leather 'flip' case, I new this could only be the possible reasoning, as I'd been trying to get the 'app' to work all the time even when I'd crossed my local park while still in the 'flip' case on my way to the store, with always the same bad results, it was only when the Iphone was in it's new case did the compass app work correctly.
So, just a consideration to any new users of the iPhone 4, that's using a case that's got any kind of magnet, and that's having the same issues that I suffered, remember to 'calibrate' and try the 'compass' application out of these type's of case's before thinking there's a software problem, or fault with your Iphone4.
Kind regards
Livio

Figured it out! Compass Calibration was off in Settings - Location Services

How can we automate compass rotation using UIAutomation

Gen2 Ipod Touch ios 4.2 compass available?

Is there a compass for the Gen2 Ipod Touch, iOS 4.2?
One with a magnetic declination adjustment, preferably?

ps, need not be magnetic, a sun compass application would work fine for me, if the ipod doesn't do magnetic compass direction -- havent' found one yet

IPhone and the new compass. Cords Version

I love the new compass application. I have one suggestion. The cords that are show in the bottom of the screen are in: Degrees, Minutes, Seconds. The new standerd and what alot of people (Geocaching.com) are using now are in: Degrees, Decimal Minutes. On one of the future updates, can this be added and have a selection between the two?
Thank you very much.

I'm also very curious if podcast support will be there for the wifi store That would be awesome!!! Hopefully it'll honor the settings in iTunes (I currently have it set to MANUALLY update).

WT310-105 compass issue

Hi, I'm using one of a lot compass applications and they are not accurate.
My wt310 shows the north at the wrong direction (but the 90, 180 and 270 degrees at the correct direction)
I tested also the MS SensorDiagnostics (downloaded from Intel.com) and same result.
Did someone meet this issue? Maybe something broken inside the tablet?
Thank in advance.
Pablo

@Pablo:
Never noticed the ecompass performance, but after reading your post, I can say I also exerience strange readings from the ecompass especially around North, using a simple app from windows store. I tested it on both the WT310-106 and the WT310-108, as I own both types.
No real issue for me as I don't use the compass, but it may indicate that there is something wrong with the e-compass in the WT310-series!

I had a similar problem with my E72 mate, and I found the best thing to do, is get out on the road, and use the sat nav feature to guide you somewhere, I did this, and found the compass to calibrate itself Hope this helps

K1 compass problems with 3.2 update

Any other K1 users have the following problems since the 3.2 update?
* Compass application (get it free at the Market) is off by 90 degrees (north points east).
* Google Sky Map (free at the Market) no longer tracks with compass and accelerometers, hence no augmented reality mode. "Star Chart" now also fails.
A Google search reveals a similar problem on the ASUS Transformer after their 3.2 update. My understanding is that ASUS had to release a hurried patch to fix it, although I haven't yet read very deeply about their solution.

Could anyone report whether this is now resolved in the latest update?
One of the things that we found (and might have affected Jamez's results) is that have the phone in close proximity to the tablet may change the results.
Any update on experiences out in the wild?

VZW Customer NO MORE After 8-1/2 Years

I have had VZW service since May 15, 2001. I've always had a contract and upgraded phones every year or two. That all changed tonight when I terminated my contract after 5 trips to the store in the last week, each over an hour, and totally fruitless. The kicker is that they made NO EFFORT whatsoever to try to keep me as a customer. Apparently, "Verizon Wireless because we aren't 100% satisfied unless you are" doesn't apply, and clearly they have enough customers paying over $125/mo for phone/data plans to care if I was one of them or not.
Sorry for this being so long... In January I decided that I might want to have corporate Blackberry service where I could get my work e-mail on my phone so I bought a Blackberry Curve. The phone was fine for a while, but I started having problems with it. I took it to the Clear Lake TX store at Baybrook on several occasions. Several months ago it started chirping in my ear. I brought it to the store and the rep put in a ticket with the "network." I got NO response whatsoever on this ticket. Then it started turning itself on and off at will, I couldn't back it up without errors and it was suddenly starting to drop calls left and right. I finally got really tired of it so I took it back to the store and I told the rep who waited on me that he was about to get the phone back. He messed around with it a while and then came back and ordered me a new phone. He told me the new phone would be delivered on Friday and I had to be there to sign for it. I happened to be home Friday afternoon and waited 5 hours for Fed Ex who never showed up. I went back to the store Saturday and waited 45 minutes to ask what happened to my replacement phone. Turns out it is 2-day delivery - it would have been nice if the tech had mentioned that before I left the store. Another 45 minutes lost.
The replacement phone came on Monday. I picked it up from my apartment office, ran a couple of errands and went back to the store. One would think that on a Monday evening when there are less than 6 people in the store and no one on the list that you'd be able to get waited on in less than 30 minutes. Apparently that is too much to ask. I was there over an hour.
Finally, I got someone (I hesitate to call her a tech because I've only ever seen her stocking accessories and not helping people back in tech support) to help with the phone. I had not opened the box or inspected it before I took it to the store - big mistake. First, when your phone is over 30 days old, you DO NOT get a NEW phone, you get some refurbished piece of crap that someone else has beaten to death, evidenced by the corrosion in the USB port and inside the phone and the gouges out of the case that didn't come off the phone. I paid money for that phone back in January. There is NO reason that I should get someone else's used crap back if mine "breaks" when it's still under warranty. Second, if I have a VZW online account and am paying for backup service, why in the heck can they only get the contacts out of the phone? Seriously.
So I don't figure out until I get it back home over an hour later and it's too late to take it back to the store that it's been beaten up by its previous owner. I also find out when I get it home that it's got missing pieces of software - how that happened is totally beyond me. Then this new phone also somehow dropped the mobile network this afternoon. Not sure how that happened, either, because it was turned off all day. So back to the store I go. Again.
Again, there aren't many people in the store but all of the technicians are tied up. A sales guy comes over and wants to know what my problem is. This is a first, so I tell him about this replacement phone that I got YESTERDAY and the girl who helped me should done something about because it was in unacceptable condition. I told him that I've been a customer for 8-1/2 years, that I've not had any real phone problems until recently with the Blackberry, and that I've been here 5 times already and that's unacceptable as well. He goes in the back room and comes out with a manager who starts looking through my account and then goes off to get me yet another refurbished phone insisting that nobody gets a new phone replacement after 30 days. Why? They go back to RIM so what's the difference? She hands the phone off to some other tech who's apparently already busy with someone else and when I try talking to him about the phone and asked if the new software load will allow me to access the GPS with 3rd party apps because the geo-tagging isn't working with the camera, and he goes off and comes back to tell me no, it won't and that the only VZW phone with the GPS unblocked is the Tour, which isn't true. He stood there arguing with me about the GPS access on the Curve and the Storm. It's not blocked on the Storm and a simple Google search would tell him otherwise, but he wants to argue. I said, "Fine, you can keep the Blackberry. I've had enough. I want to use the features of my phone and I can't so give me a simple phone instead or they can cancel my contract. He tells me he's going to get the manager and very slowly walked into the back room and after he came out, my issue was supposedly handed off to another tech who was on the phone during the entire discussion I had with the other two people at the counter. I told the guy who was trying to do the transfer to this other refurbished phone that I want to go back to a regular phone and be done with it. He tells me that I can't UPGRADE on my plan and so we go back and forth about the fact that going to a $29 phone isn't an upgrade and I finally get tired of this bantering with these guys so I tell him to cancel my account. He says, "Fine," and goes in the backroom and goes to get the manager again. She comes back out, asks what we're doing, I tell her that I want to access the GPS on the phone and if I can't to take me back to a regular phone. She says no, my choices are to take this other refurbished Blackberry or I can cancel my contract. I said, "Fine, go ahead and cancel it then." She starts that process and when I tell her I am not taking this piece of crap phone with me, she says it's MY phone and we go back and forth about the fact that MY phone is in a box on its way to RIM, it's not MY phone. She tells me that if I leave it there, it's getting donated and she doesn't give a crap what I do with it but I'm not leaving it there. Fine. She takes another 10 minutes to document this in the computer, hands me a receipt to tell me that I now owe them $140 to cancel, and then spends another 10 minutes typing before she tells me I can leave and hands me the phone.
There is one technician there that I like to deal with - she was not working 4 of the 5 times I was there and she was busy with someone else when she was there. Out of my control, but I'm betting I'd still be a customer tonight if she were working. And she's NOT a manager.

I said before that I had always had good experiences with VZW until last Tuesday, including this particular store. I've never had a problem before that they did not solve to my satisfaction, and I've referred more of my friends and family to VZW than I can count.
I guess maybe it could be just the store. Yeah, I know my tone changed and but I still trying to be nice. I did feel pushed into a corner because after I thought about it, the supervisor was all but challenging me to take it outside, which I would never do. It was almost like the techs expected something like that or it to get really loud with her out there.
Unfortunately, I have received zero communication from VZW at all since this happened. Not from the store manager, regional manager, corporate... no one. I would have thought that terminated accounts ould get someone's attention somewhere and they'd be following up to find out what went wrong or how they could do better. I mean, their business is all about numbers and not only bringing in new customers but also keeping existing ones. But I've heard from no one. What kind of customer service is that?
First, I end up with a phone where I think about all the great things I can do because it's got all these features. I paid for the navigation plan. I wanted to be able to geotag my pictures and send them to Flickr. Didn't work. I wanted a compass application. Wouldn't work. Then I found out that VZW blocks access to the GPS in the Curve because they're apparently afraid no one will pay for their service if they let other apps access the GPS.Then I found that they were going to unlock it but I still can't use those features of my phone. VZW is the ONLY provider to do this. When I asked about it again that night because they'd gotten a brand new software load, they said no, it still didn't do that and they block it on all their Blackberries except the Tour, which isn't true.
Failures
GPS is a feature I want to use and I don't get to use it even though I paid for it. I don't want to have to buy a Garmin for crying out loud. I feel that VZW misleads customers by not making it clear that they will not allow other non-VZW applications to access the GPS when they know the other providers do.
They submitted a network ticket to test a chirping noise on calls and never followed it up.
When I brought the phone in because the chirping was getting worse, the guy told me he was ordering me a new phone because he didn't have any in the store and it would be there Friday. I thought I was getting a new phone, not a refurb.
I waited 4 hours for this new phone to arrive Friday and it didn't. I went back Saturday to find out what happened to it. That's when I learn that it's shipped Fed Ex 2-day instead of overnight. Couldn't the tech have said it was a 2-day shipment?
When the phone arrives, where's the quality control?
You can tell right out of the box that it's been less than gently used, and in fact was most likely abused.
No one at the store will acknowledge that it's got physical evidence of abuse. They tried to tell me that the USB port wasn't corroded, it was just well used. Right. I know that ports that are well used are shiny, not dull. The cover doesn't come off without a pry bar and the inside of the phone is dirty.
Doesn't the person who puts my contacts into this phone notice that
it's been abused? Why does she just hand me this phone and expect that
I'll be happy with it?
The refurbished phone somehow has portions of the BB software missing. Don't know how that happened, but isn't someone supposed to be testing them before they go back out to be given to customers or resold?
When I come back Tuesday with it, I'm challenged by 4 people who want me to believe it's in acceptable condition. Then I'm informed that their policy is to give me a refurbished phone period unless it's within the first 30 days. Why? When I buy one I'm given the option to buy a new or refurbished phone. Why do I not get a choice when you can tell that my phone hasn't been abused?
The tech who ordered the replacement finishes up with the people he was working with and runs in the back room. He didn't come back out until after I left. Coincidence? Maybe.
The tech who was at the workstation next to him was supposed to be working with my phone issue but wasn't. Couldn't be bothered to look at me when I talked to him - he was too busy messing with someone else's phone. When we talked about the GPS issue and I said I just wanted a plain phone if they weren't going to give me all the features, he just said I'd have to talk to the supervisor. I said fine and thought he went to get her. He didn't. And he took his sweet time going back there.
The guy who did end up waiting on me just said I couldn't change to any other phone because I wasn't eligible for an upgrade. Don't know what part of getting a plain phone is an upgrade from a PDA, but it was just one more nail in the coffin at this point.
The last straw was the supervisor coming back out and refusing to work with me at all, and now that I think about it, made it clear that I was wasting her time that she had better things to do.
So Buttens, you're right. All they had to do was work with me to get me to a phone that worked the way I expected. I was happy enough with my plan. I would have been willing to put out some extra cash to get that device working properly. But they didn't. They let me walk. And walk with a phone, that if I chose to go back to VZW, would still need to be replaced because it's not right. I just don't have the energy to go through anything like that again right now.
lrando - I don't find it acceptable that I would need to hang up and call back again to get someone who will work with me.The first person should be empowered to deal with the issue. If not, one escalation to a supervisor would be okay, but the initiation for that should come from them - like "I have run out of options for you, please let me connect you to my supervisor." They don't do that. You have to beg.

Help about location based classes

Helo. i need some help about location classes(i use J2ME). i want to develop a gps compass application. when i connected to gps, orientation is shown on a compass.(for example if i go to northeast direction, compass indicator shows the direction between nort and east).

Nokia Belle update problem

Hi all,
I recently updated to Nokia Belle and it looks so great. However, I was shocked when I couldn't find the compass application that comes preinstalled on Nokia N8. In addition any application that uses the compass is giving wrong values. Furthermore, the GPS is not determining my right position!
Have anyone confronted such issue? is there a way to reinstall nokia Belle?
Thank you

course you can re install belle. just connect phone to pc by usb and open suite and re install

The Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, 8th edition. Integration into the spotlight

Hello there!
I have just purchased and installed the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, 8th edition, from App Store. Does anyone know how to integrate it into the spotlight?

Someone else here may have other suggestions, but I was able to find the following information on Oxford's support site. It may fix your problem, though it doesn't specifically address sound not playing (it does for the Mac version). I'd suggest you keep the old plugin files until you verify that the new plugins don't cause worse problems.
Q. I have QuickTime 7 for Windows installed. Why do I get an error message "Quicktime plug-in requires the Quicktime system extension version 5 or later" when starting the OALD7 Compass CD-ROM?
A. The Compass CD-ROM was developed before QuickTime 7 was released, and there are some incompatibilites which can be fixed as follows:
If it is open, close the OALD7 Compass application.
Download the pluginsQT7win.zip patch file
In the directory where OALD7 is installed (usually c:\Program Files\Oxford\OALD7\), there is a directory called plugins - delete all the files in the plugins directory.
Move pluginsQT7win.zip into the now empty plugins folder, and unzip the 4 files there.
Sound should now be working - if you have any further problems or queries, please email the helpdesk.
I hope this helps.

IPad Air iOS 7 applications missing - calc, compass, voice memo, passbook

Does the iPad Air with iOS7 come with the following applications that are on the iPhone 5s?
calc
compass
voice memo
passbook

As to the why only apple knows. The beauty of the iPad is you can download any number of free apps, try them, then delete the ones you don't like. For weather I use Yahoo and NOAA, calc I use Calculator °/°°, Siri for stocks, GoSKy Watch for compass, the rolodex feature isn't there because it's not needed. The others I don't use so I can't recommend.

Compass Application ?
