Compass calibration

[kking009]

I got a new tablet and every time I've tried to use it gives me a compass error and says it needs to be recalibrated, however calibrating it doesn't help I still get the error. If I use my iPhone though I don't get the error. Has anyone else had a problem like this?

Strange...Android tablet?

Yes. I've flown it with the error(probably not the best idea) but it's flown just fine. I just don't want to keep flying with the error

I know that there have been a shitload of issues with Android and the latest updates, but I don't recall the compass error being one of them. Sit tight and I'm sure that one of the Android members can assist.

Which tablet is this ?? And does it have any magnets built into it for clip on covers ?

 

[kking009]

It's zte trek. I'm not sure if it has any magnets or not.

It's not on the list. I knew that when I got it though. I had read online about other people who have used them.

And you're seeing that error message when your Mavic is sitting outside on the ground?

Yes. Every time. I've recalibrated it will say calibration is complete but the error will still be there. I have flown it with the error and it flies fine I'd just rather. It fly it like that.

I also just wanna add that in the settings when I go to recalibrate it says everything is fine. It says the exact same thing on my iphone which i dont get the compass error on.

One of your compasses is either disconnected inside of your Mavic or it's faulty and needs to be replaced.

Do you know then why I don't get the same error on my iPhone even though it says as well that one of the compasses are disconnected?

No. I'm assuming that error will go away after you fix the compass problem.

 

[kking009]

Okay, thank you for your help.
