The Magnetic Field Sensor on my HTC One M8 has stopped working. I believe it was when the firmware was last updated. The effect is that my compass app and Google Sky Map no longer work. If it is a firmware problem, then other users will have the same problem - otherwise it's a problem with my phone.
So that's my question - do other users have the same problem? If so, then I plan to get on to HTC to find out when they are going to fix it.
Googling the problem shows that an identical problem has happened before when the firmware was updated, but I couldn't find a reference to the latest update.
Looking at the list of sensors using the CPU-Z app shows the value of the Magnetic Field Sensor to be fixed at 0.0µT.
(My phone: Android version 5.0.1, HTC Sense version 6.0, Software number 4.19.161.2)
