Astronomy apps gyro/compass issue? - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

I just received a Mate 20pro and may have found an issue. I'm wondering other are having the same issue.
I've loaded 3 astronomy apps: Sky Chart, Star Walk 2, Sky View.
If you enable compass mode so that as you move the phone it's shows you what's in the sky.
Hold the phone in front of you and turn around in a circle to a 360 degree turn, after a turn or two, the apps start doing a barrel roll.
I tried numerous apps to calibrate the sensors, but no luck. Oh and Sky Safari does not seem to suffer from this as badly, but still has issues.
Here's an animated gif I created.

If anyone could verify if this is an issue that would be great.
Thanks

GPS Problem [ Solved ]

Using GPS essentials app, I noticed it takes at least 8 satellites before I get a lock. I was wondering if there is anywhere to lower the number of required satellites to get a lock.
Not sure if this is even possible.

I hate the name of this app, but have you tried "GPS AIDS" yet?
That program was made more for SGS people, but other devices use it too with positive GPS lock results...
I'll try that app. I've used faster fix and other similar apps with no luck.
I finally found out why my GPS was slow/delayed to the point it was useless.
I took my phone apart. I noticed the cable that connects the GPS to the antanae was pulled out only by 1 mm from the clip that grounds it to the side of the case. It looked like it was plugged in and should work fine. But it did move slightly.
After I pushed it back in and rebooted I had a GPS lock in seconds. Not sure if this is the same problem any of you are having but it is possible.

[APP]wp clock

I stumbled on this "clock" browsing the interwebs while I was getting whooped in fantasy football today. It is not actually a clock but a "typographic live wallpaper". What I like about it is that it is simple and at the same time displaying lots of info. You can customize what info you want to see. You can also set the background to slideshow displaying pics from your gallery.
Here's a few screenshots that I took with the slideshow delay set at 30 seconds.

Here's a link to a youtube video of it in action. I recommend you watch this video if for the music alone.

In case you are wondering about the theme I applied to my phone it is the wonderfully simplistic X-Power+ Black for any KH7 ROM! [1.1.1] ported by jivy26
You can find it here

Been runnin this live wallpaper for a day now and have experienced no discernible battery drain. Been off the charger for 9 hours with moderate usage and battery is at 66%.
Ive actually had this on my Captivate and have had it on my GS2. I like it, its different.
It's too big... and by that I mean it only allows me to use the bottom row of widget space without covering up any of the clock. The second to bottom row starts to cover the year. If it was a big shorter vertically then I'd like it. Perhaps there is something in settings in the full version... I dunno.
Love this. keeps my home screen looking nice and clean.thanks for posting.

[Q] Various problems after screen repair

I broke my screen a few weeks ago, so I repaired it. It (digitizer+display) working basically ok, but I got some other problems.
1. I get fc´s everywhere, sometimes the apps work, sometimes not...
2. I can´t play any music or videos (exept web streaming videos like youtube)., all my music apps get immediatly fcs.
I already tried lots of roms (MROM, Neutrino, Topsmarts...., also ics ones) and different music player apps, but it won´t work.
Do you think something might been damaged during the repairment?
Edit: Oh, I almost forgot, my CPU won´t toggle anymore, runs at max. all the time...
Possibly ribbon cables not seated correctly.

You may have a 'phantom touch' somewhere which is somehow keeping your phone active. Try downloading a digitizer test app and seeing if your phone thinks it's being touched when it's not.

But that would not explain all the fc´s, would it?

Charge Indication screen keeps showing up on lock screen while charging.

Hey guys,
I've got the S6 Edge and have recently noticed that occasionally a screen pops up indicating the charge status on the lock screen when I'm charging my phone. On the screen, it has a round and green charge meter. Under that it says which type of charge it currently is doing: speed, continuous, or trickle. Then there seems to be a big ad for installing Samung +. I had previously never seen it before. To my knowledge, I've never changed settings that would enable it. I'm currently trying to disable it, but I don't see the option to do so. Could it be associated with a specific app? Any help would be greatly appreciated! (I've got two screenshots of the indicator I'm talking about, but the system won't allow me to attach them until I have 10 posts.)
(I apologize if this topic has already been covered. I tried using the search function and was presented with mostly Quick Charge issues. If so, send me to that thread and I'll delete this one.)

My wife's phone (Moto G 2015) is having the same issue. No idea what it is and we've uninstalled a ton of aps already.
This started happening to me today and I've figured out from another forum that it's because I had a Go app installed. I had Go Weather installed which I've used for years because I like the widget. Unfortunately it gives no indication that it will alter the lock screen and there's no option to turn it off which I find unacceptable so I've had to uninstall it now.

Best book reader or trick for landscape/portrait mode

Hey there!
It would be awesome if the available ereader apps would display 2 pages in portrait mode. Most of them do it but in landscape only.
No matter what rotating apps and tricks I have tried I cannot get the apps to be in 'landscape' while the phone is in portrait mode. Everything seems to affect system and app at once.
Does anyone know of a book reader that has 2 pages in portrait mode I can stretch across both screens (I have the workaround installed) or a rotating trick?
Thanks folks!
Unrelated: update and normal gestures finally! Woot!
Use Libera https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foobnix.pdf.reader, you can all so download the pro version for free on F-droid. There is an option while reading to display two pages at once. If you use that with the widescreen mode app it will work.

Thank you very much! After trying 15 or so you just give up and ask! Haha
Thanks again!
Hallos, I am not sure how this relates to Ereaders but i noticed that in some games the landscape mode turns in the wrong way.
I use Control Screen rotation to corrects these issues and it worked very well for me. It can be found here:

I just use it when i need it. hope this helps.
