The compass in my Xperia X is also rather "interesting", I think it worked fine under Android (installed SFOS immediately after checking the hardware) but it seems I can't calibrate under SFOS. Sometimes it works, sometimes it is completely off.

As things stand, I'm happy that Pure Maps does not use my erratic compass, it would be super annoying if the map view started rotating every time I stopped (But how much should an app be built to handle random defeciencies lower down in the stack?)
