Important note:
The compass app depends on the performance of your android device. If it works perfectly, it means that your sensors are perfect, too. Hold compas in fixed magnetic field, away from computers, other phones, cables and electrical devices for accurate measurement results. Large iron and steel objects can influence the magnetic sensor in your Android device, causing it to point in the wrong direction. This is called deviation. If you suspect this is happening, simply move away from the object several feet and the problem should correct itself.

No magnetic sensor in my new Samsung Galaxy Tab A! This simple app is probably the best and quickest way to test for the presence/absence of a sensor in your device. If all you get is a non-moving picture of a compass, then your Android device is also crippled.
