Help compass points east instead of north

I noticed that after I upgraded to ZVI (ICS) in the maps app the direction that it shows me as pointing was wrong. I got a simple compass app and it shows the compass as pointing east instead of north. I upgraded to ZVK and had the same issue. I tried other compass apps and they all behave the same way. I tried all the compass calibration tips I could find on the internet and nothing fixed it.
I went back to ZVD just to check and the compass works normally (points north). I assume it's just a software bug that will never get fixed because this is now an outdated phone and LG doesn't care and no one else can fix it because the bootloader is locked now...sigh...

Does anyone else notice this issue or is something just wrong with my phone? Can someone else with an LG Viper check and see which way their compass points with the ZVI or ZVK software?
