Hello Skull. I just tested because of your post. The compass was not working for the first 10 min I was testing. I did the calibration several times (hold phone and swerve it in a figure-8 with your wrist and arm for about 20-30 seconds). I tried 2 apps and it was still all out of whack.
Anyways... I then tried this app Z-Device test, tested gyroscope, then tested compass with Z and it worked fine right away.
Then when I went back to the other compass apps it was also working fine.
I don't know exactly what it was that fixed it...Z-device, or the calibrations... But working great now.
First thing I would try is swerving it in figure-8 for about 30 seconds and see if that fixes it.

the 8 movement hasn't solved my problem, also tried Z-device with no luck. I will keep trying
