I have a new LG K8 2017 model phone. I hadn't realised that the compass doesn't work on google maps until now when I am travelling away for the weekend and so need it! The maps works and the blue dot moves, but it doesn't show the way you are facing. And I think I know why...
I downloaded a compass app and got an error msg saying no magnetic sensor. I checked the specs of my phone description online and it seems to say it has a magnetic sensor for compasses. I also downloaded CPU-Z as reccomended by googles searches, I don't see a simple magnetic sensor setting on there but I presume it isnt working.
What could be the cause of this magnetic sensor not working? It makes it much harder to use Maps without a working compass, please help thanks!
