Hi!
0This is Sergio from Spain. New in the forum. Just want to give info about this issue. Please excuse my english, it's noy my native language.
Received my new 9500 pro, and same problem with compass BUT, only with some apps.
With "stock compass app", it works ok
With "GPS status" it works ok also.
But i tried with:
"AndroiTS"
"GPS essentials"
"GPS Test"
With the same erratic result.
If i return to stock or GPS status it works perfectly.
Android 8.1.0
Compilation V1.0_20180827
I tried also the "magnetized screw issue", but it seems not to be the fault reason.

Hope it helps.

Thanks

There was some OTA update some time ago. Having BV_BV9500Pr0_V1.0_20180827 I can sill see the "North" is at the "Volume -" button no matter how I rotate the phone.

After an update few days ago to 20190116_1454 I calibrated the compass and since then is shows the North where it really is. Thanks for update, BV!
No factory reset needed.
