Hi there,
I just bought some Chinese knock-off called Star x18i (that looks like an SE Arc) based on Android 2.3.6. It works fine, except a few sensors, that don't seem to work properly : magnetic field and gyroscope.
I tried to install different compass apps, but it doesn't work.
I installed Data Monitor app.
For Magnetic Field, it indicates :
Sensor information:
Name : AMI304 3-axis Magnetic Field sensor
MaximumRange : 600.0
MinDelay : 0
Power : 0.25
Resolution : 0.0016667
Type:2
Vendor:Aichi Steel
Version:1

But when I launch "Monitor sensor" in the Data Monitor app, I get real-time figures for plenty of sensors (accelerometer, Proximity, gravity, linear_acceleration), but nothing for magnetic_field nor gyroscope...
Does it mean that Magnetic_field is disabled?Or that it doesn't simply exist on the device? Is there a way to enable it?
By the way, my device is not rooted so far, do you think that could help?
Thanks a lot for your answers guys!
Did you figure it out? I've got same problem..
Same on here.
I have an A9220, with *LOTZ* of sensors.
But the compass, the magnetic field and the gyroscope refuses to work
According to AndroSensor, they're "Waiting for event"
Waiting forever, I guess.
Exact same problem
Hi guys,
I have precisely the same problem! Did anyone get a fix for this, in the end??
Cheers!

same problem , it's old thread but no answer , so maybe posting here is better thn new thread , magnitc sensor do not gives reading after rom flash , although i replaced files with *sensor* from stock to the new one rom how to fix?
On some devices like Htc One, your chineese tablets and my tablet Prestigio 7.0 hd i installed cpu z on them and there was nothing about a compas module, my s5830i has a compas module so i can use it and cpu z is showing it.
Are the aps you want to run on your devices saying that you dont have compas modules?
If they are you dont have it.
Some may not report it, but i dont thesee tablets of yours can do it.
About the rooting try kingo android root on your pc (nothing is sure)

I don't know it then, you nees a good developer to do it right if you done it on your own

I know that there are times when a company will use a similar firmware for their devices. On my old S2, it had an option for HDMI-Out in the settings, but that hardware was not available in my device. Perhaps a similar thing is happening here? Also when I pulled up specs for your device, I saw nothing about a compass.

I see the Ultra is not supported for this App. Disappointing considering we still can't download with Iplayer.......
Devices which can use Anywhere app
Sony Xperia L (C2105)
Sony Xperia SP (C5302/03/06)
Sony Xperia Z (C6602/03)
Sony Xperia Z1 (C6902/03/06/43)
Sony Xperia U (ST25)
It's Virgin's responsibility to update their app. Send them a mail and ask if they can update it.
The Ultra is missed by a lot of developers. I've had a good response rate from developers and they have all said that they acknowledge the issue and will get an update done.

They have only just added any Android support - took them ages. Use the "Contact Us" form on their website to request it to be added, that's what I've done.
If you are rooted there uses a module for xposed called play store fixes which tricks it into thinking the dpi of the phone is different.

I don't believe it's a DPI issue, it's model.
Answer from Virgin Media, not good news:
Thanks for your e-mail to Virgin Media about the availability of the
Sony Xperia Z Ultra on TV Anywhere.
We understand your concern.
Right now, we're sorry but it doesn't look like we've got any plans to
add Sony Xperia Z Ultra on TV Anywhere App. We're always working with
the providers to bring our customers even more choice on Virgin TV, so
keep your eyes peeled! And check out www.virginmedia.com for the latest

I don't see why there's a problem, there are many android devices with the same screen resolution and processor.
I would try one of the market helper apps, or xposed, to make Google Play think you're on a recognised device. I had to do this with previous phone, Note 2, to load the tesco clubcard TV app.

Doesn't the phone have to be rooted to use xposed? If so, then the app won't work anyway on rooted devices according to the comments in the store
A late reply but I have a One X which is also not supported. I used Device Spoofer to make my device appear as the HTC One. I was able to download and install the app from the market. In addition the app's record, remote control and program manager functions work perfectly however the ability to watch programs on the phone is blocked by a root checker.

You can only install the app on an approved device though (officially). The TVguide app has record functions but it doesn't have have network remote features.
Why do they do a root check? You can use the software on any PC, with whatever hacks you want installed, but there's some obsession with root on Android...
Hi, i've found a chinese torch app that actually is the only one that works decently on my cubot gt99, but there's a problem, it randomly crashes
camera flashlight! It there anyone among you developers that would try to fix it? :fingers-crossed:
C'mon brave coders!
I forgot to mention that it worls for sure with any mtk device;
at least let me know if it works with other phones too, so i can do a compatibility list!
It works at AMOI N828.
I just made a few tests without problems

HI!,
I can not help you at the moment , I'm new and I have no experience, so if I have a problem similar to yours.
I bought a similar device with Android 2.3 and has a few problems, some serious and others not so much. :silly:
What I have wanted is to change the Android OS by WinCW 6.0, I think this is the most reliable time the Android, in addition to better display screens in Android is very poor in this regard, but I do not know if this is possible .
It is an extensive list of problems, but the more I dislike (also the GPS IGO, the bottom image is cropped) is that the unit can operate the DVR front camera, but running it is very erratic and unstable.
The seller tried to start to solve but then I did not respond more and presented other problems and I had no more response.
Greetings.
Hello,
We have just launched Smart Unlock app and we need to know if is compatible with Samsung Galaxy S5 because we do not have this device.
Can you please test it and let us know?. Its a 7 day free trial but we can offert a full refund if someone want to buy it, we do not want to take any profit for xda members helping us to test our app.
Tha app is Smart Unlock and extends dafault smart lock functionality by adding wifi trusted devices, bluetooth or wifi, so usar do not have to wirte the lock pattern or pin each time while they are connected at home´s wifi or car´s bluetooth.
Hope you like it and it works properly on galaxy S5, thanks for testing.

Cool, I wonder why is not working on Note 4 , I have removed availability on google play for Note 4, We will try to fix this soon.
Actually this funtion is built in already. You can find it under Settings->Security->Scroll down all the way->Smart Lock
In native smart lock there is no support for trusted WiFi devices. In smart Unlock yes.
Tested on Android 4.4.2, touchwiz, haven't worked on my G900F (International S5 version) using wifi smart unlock. Not sure about bluetooth.
Hello,
We have created a forum thread for this app.

Hello, Thanks for your reply.
When you say "didn´t work", what do you mean exactly? Once you are connected to your wifi and you add the wifi to Trusted devices, you should see in the notification that the devices is "unlocked".
Do you see this notification? Yesterday we solved the issues with sony xperia z2 and z3 and now we would like to focus on samsung series, Thanks for your help.

Correct. And yes I saw "device unlocked" but then, when I pressed the power key to lock my device, then pressed it again to wake the device, I still had to input my pattern password.

Ok, so I can guess now what part of the code is being ignored by S5.
Do you have 4.4.2 stock rom?
And, maybe is a noob question for S5 users, but I´m not samsung owner and I dont know specific samsung software, so any help will be appreciate.
Is there any unlocking tool specific for S5 / note4 devices? For example on Z2 series there is a "Smart Connect" app that has included something similar to smart unlock but native on sony devices, also in Z2 there is a native option for unlocking near some BT devices, that was creating conflicts between our app in sony.
Hope we can solve the issues on S5 and Note 4 because are the only devices with problems using Smart Unlock.

Ok sorry, you are right, as you said before you are on android 5.0
I guess we will need a S5 to find a working solution. As I can read in this thread there is 1 user on 4.4.2 and you with android 5.0 and is not working for both of you.
I will try to get an S5 tomorrow, I will keep you informed with a test apk soon. Thanks for your testing time.

No prob.... just PM me or post here (mention me) and I'd be glad to test the new version.

HELP !!!!!!!!
Just imported an Oppo Find X here in the UK - and have managed to get most things working except Android Auto. I have given Android Auto every permission I can - and shut off all battery and app freezing elements but still when I connect Android Auto to my car (which has worked find with any other Android Phone) I just get a black screen on the head unit.
Does anyone have any idea how to get Android Auto working properly? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!
I bought an Oppo find x in Malaysia and use it in the UK. Android Auto works fine, although I don't use it or particularly like it. Sorry, but all I did was click on it and approve the 6 or so permissions.
The only apps I struggle with are, oddly, the clock (as the android alarm doesn't always work- but I just switched to the Oppo clock and that does) and Google Now (which works when I tap on it, but not automatically).
Is yours the global rom?
I imported one fro China and android auto doesn’t work for me either
I have thé same no Android auto to my Oppo chinese rom
Same issue on Chinese ROM, imported to UK. Screen just says to check phone compatibility.
Did anyone find a work around for the china version?
Much appreciated

It's as near as a bricked phone you'll find software wise. I've sold mine, thank god.
I've managed to find and buy a global ROM version and can confirm Android Auto (along with everything else for that matter) works perfectly.
I have an oppo find x with China ROM, there was an OS update few weeks ago to ColorOS 5.2.1, reinstalled Android auto on Friday and it was working perfectly on my Chevy Volt
Real me 2 pro not able to connect car by using android auto
I am facing same issue with real me 2 pro. When connect to android auto display tell to reconnect and try again.
