Dell Pro appears to be at the receiving end for all the wrong reasons.After being revealed that Dell Venue Pro cannot be used as an Internet Sharing Hub Or center,Users are now reporting an apparent bug which renders the compass useless.A deeper analysis of the Phone system logs from the mango update appears to indicate something wrong with the compass driver file.
This is the case with most of the people who updated their Dell Venue Pro to Mango & instantly noted something weird with its digital compass.Attempts to read the phone's orientation consistently returned results of 100 degrees,irrespective of the relative direction of the phone.Rule of the thumb states that the bug lies with the Mango update & it appears that a particular file,compassDrv.dll is missing indicating that it might have been erased during the Mango update.
Although its too early to blame this new induced bug to be a consequence of forced Mango update,also it included files which were copied from the OS update which invariably altered or deleted the device specific drivers.So the next time they wont indulge in a force install & it can be assured that DVP firmware 219 will not be a part of the next Official Mango update expected soon.A fix might just be on the way.
