Agreed. I was taught that the full term for that pole is the "North-seeking pole".By definition, the north pole of a magnet points north

Go to dial keypad, type:I may be wrong, wouldn't be the fist time. I always thought it was part of the GPS function.The movement direction would determine which way you were facing, that and it can be derived from constellation of satellites, which is how I assumed it was done.
Looks like I hit a nerve with what I thought was a simple question. Now to find out if their is a compass feature on my Samsung smart phone.
I had trouble gluing a large rare earth to my phone case today.
If you've been attaching magnets to your phone you may have permanently magnetised something in the phone. That could mess up any compass app the phone has.Now to find out if their is a compass feature on my Samsung smart phone.
Having seen you mess with other people, this looks like more of the same. Especially since you have already threatened me with it. Cried wolf lately?Go to dial keypad, type:

Select "Sensors".
Quit being so damn paranoid. You'll know when I'm screwing with you.Having seen you mess with other people, this looks like more of the same. Especially since you have already threatened me with it. Cried wolf lately?
You would think that is true, but Physics.Org disagrees. http://www.physics.org/article-questions.asp?id=65 For the red on most compasses to be a North poled magnet on the pointer, it would need to be of South polarity.By definition, the north pole of a magnet points north (hence the name ).
I think you miss the point.Again, a compass is off topic.

Now that is confusing.You would think that is true, but Physics.Org disagrees. http://www.physics.org/article-questions.asp?id=65 For the red on most compasses to be a North poled magnet on the pointer, it would need to be of South polarity.
