I have searched this and found nothing,so, i am on T-Mob with my Desire and have just realised i have no Digital Compass.Or am i looking in wrong place ? ,have tried manage apps ,and its not listed ,compass mode works ok in Maps,so whats happening?.:confused:
 
Hmm not sure, not seen one on the Desire itself. However I have installed the free compass from snaptic which is quite good. Just have a look on the market for that.

Theres a vid of it on youtube ,YouTube - [XDAdesire] Digital Compass on HTC Desire | Backgrounds | Settings | Compass Styles
Not found one as snazzy and customizable as this on Marketplace ,apparently from what i can find on Google ,T-Mob removed it,dunno why,was wondering if anyone had the apk for the official one that should be pre-installed.

That's the one I have on mine,it's just called "compass" you can change the style of it to look different.

Compass - Android app on AppBrain
 
the desire has a digital compass inside it, obviously, but as far as i know doesnt come with a specific app for it.

like said above, just search the market for 'compass'.
 
Do you have to calibrate the compass? On my old N97 I had to rotate to phone is a weird pattern to get it to work, and even then it didn't always work.
 
Yes the one in the video is just called "compass" on the market, I have it on mine and its great.

Banzibam, yes you do have to calibrate it by waving it around in a figure of 8 pattern. The guy in the video does this but he obviously doesn't know what a figure of 8 is!
