Help Compass problem

Hello, I would like to ask other users of LG Optimus One about compass. I don't know, if it's defect, or it's normal, neverthless on my Wildfire, there were no problems with Compass like that.

When I launch Compass app (or in Geocaching app I will choose to navigate via compass), it lasts about few minute until compass begin to work! Until that it's stucked and north arrow points everywhere I turn myself - it doesn't rotate in way of magnetic field. It moves around few degrees, but randomly. Until few minutes it starts working and north arrow points to north correctly. But when I turn off Compass app or Geocaching and launch it again, I have to wait again few minutes until it starts working

I tried Google SkyMap and the problem is the same. I tried to calibrate it via moving phone in way of figure 8, it restarts the sensors, but it doesn't help.

Sometimes compass starts working correctly immidiately after Compass app launches, but it's really rare.

I have original ROM version 10a (no root).

Thanks for any help or advice!
 
So I figured it out via moving it in 8 figure. But the problem is, that calibration is lost on every app new launch. Dont know what to do, someone has this problem too?

Its really annoying to calibrate it every day on every compass-app launch :(
