[tone][loire] compass does not work reliably #22

Closed oshmoun closed 6 years ago

oshmoun commented 6 years ago

Platform: loire, tone Device: kugo, suzu, kagura Kernel version: 4.4 Android version: 8.0

Description The compass does not seem functional, some apps tested do not report any compass value, these include Google maps and GPS toolbox. Other apps like Phonetester report errant values.

Symptoms Google maps doesn't show the current orientation GPS Toolbox always reports 0° Phonetester reports values in the range from 300° to about 50° (going through 0°)

How to reproduce Try to use any apps that makes use of the compass it sometimes might decide to randomly work, but a couple reboots should help reproduce the issue.

I checked compas functionality in Phone Tester and it works normal

Please install Phonetester and check it compass is corectly reported

NOTE: Google apps are not supported by this project!

Can confirm that Phonetester shows a working compass. Will test more apps then and see if the issue really only affects apps that use Google's services

I had a non working compass on tone a few times. Was fine after power off and restart. Normal reboot has not helped (may be related)

oshmoun commented 6 years ago

issue confirmed fixed after iommu rewrite https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/kernel/pull/1508

oshmoun commented 6 years ago

It seems the issue is not quite resolved! It happens randomly upon boot, and sticks until rebooting.

The issue is now (hopefully definitely) resolved with the removal of the sensors service https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/device-sony-common/pull/362 Compass has so far survived all reboots here
