Hi! I see you're having an issue where the compass directions in the Marie Diamond app seem reversed. That’s definitely something we can look into together.
Just to clarify a bit: - Is the compass in the app showing opposite directions consistently? For example, North pointing to where South should be? - Have you noticed if this happens only when you hold the device a certain way or at certain locations? - Also, is your device’s location setting and compass calibration working properly outside the app?
Often, compass apps rely on your device’s internal magnetic sensors, and sometimes calibration can be off causing reversed directions. Here’s what I suggest to try first:
1. Calibrate your device’s compass On Android 10, you can usually calibrate the compass by moving your phone in a figure-eight motion a few times. This helps reset the magnetic sensor accuracy.
2. Check device location and sensor permissions Ensure the Marie Diamond app has permission to access your location and sensors. Go to Settings > Apps > Marie Diamond > Permissions, and double-check.
3. Restart the app and device Sometimes a fresh start can resolve sensor reading glitches.
4. Verify if your device’s compass works in another app Try a standard compass app to see if directions are correct. If they’re also reversed, it’s likely a device sensor/calibration issue rather than the Marie Diamond app itself.
If these steps don’t fix it, there might be a specific app setting or update needed. Sometimes apps interpret magnetic sensor data differently depending on device or software version. If you'd like, I can guide you through more advanced steps or check if others have reported similar issues with your device and app version.
How do these steps sound so far? Have you tried any of these already?
