TrisectDevelopment Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Dec 14, 2015 #1 I have a Doogee X5 Android phone and I need to make an App the can find true north. I found a compass App on the playstore but it will not give me anything. It can find the geolocations and so can my App, but not true north(heading) I need this for my App but cannot test it. Does any one know how I can enable this on my phone?

It will give you info on all of the sensors on the phone. You can also search for "compass" and download a free "compass" app to see if your phone can use an app like that. Upvote 0
