FP5: Compass is wrong by ~90°
- /e/ version: 1.17-t-20231109350751-stable-FP5
- Device model(s): Fairphone 5
- Developer mode enabled: no
- Device rooted: no
- Trackers blocker enabled: yes
Summary
In any app using the compass, the direction provided by the compass is wrong (by around 90°)
The problem
Steps to reproduce
- Open for example com.android.gpstest.osmdroid
- wait for a GPS fix, and switch to the map, so that you can see your location AND the direction you point to (from the internal compass)
What is the current behavior?
The compass shows a wrong direction. You can easily check by moving a bit: you'll see that the map will show you moving "like a crab" (i.e. not heading in the direction you're moving)
The compass seems to indicate a direction around 90° on the right of the real direction
What is the expected correct behavior?
Compass should indicate the right direction
