Compass Problems

Can someone check and tell me if their compass changes bearing when it's laying down compared to standing up? Mine will change almost 10 degrees somtimes. I've tried several different compass apps, but they are all the same. I'm trying to decide if it's my hardware or just a general issues for all evos.

Re: Compass Problems

Calibration of the compass - xda-developers - i like his answer, but it doesnt neccessarily answer why its off so much when just laying down VS standing up

YouTube - Best Compass Calibration Method (iPhone/G1/etc.) - this one says for iPhone but the user said worked on Hero

also mentioned "Analog Compass" app(free) is said to have a free calibration tool..

just google "EVO Compass" - youll see theres been alot of Threading about this on the web
