Those Magnetometers are soo cool! I had one in my Android Phone (Dell
Streak 5") and with it I could use great Apps like 'Google Sky'! You
know with gravity and magnetic information and your location, (either
manual or GPS) it can render the sky as you move the phone and
compare. And I always have a hard time to recognize constellations and
planets without it!

Now to the Question: Isaid my phone had that sensor, cause I noticed
that at least one axis has gone bad! I wonder if anyone knows enough
about how these magneto sensors work to suggest if it just needs
demagnetization or if it really breaks if it for example is exposed to
a too strong magnet close by?

Thanks for the Info Russel!
By the way to replace the phone with one with a good st of sensors -
any recommendations?
