For the star apps to work, the app needs to know what part of the sky you are pointing at. On my new phone (Samsung) the app turns on but cannot tell me what star I am looking at, because it does not have a compass. Thanks guys, would anyone know about down loading the compass into a Samsung fone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tukaram (Tim) Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 I think it is a built in hardware piece. You either have it or you don't. This Samsung J5 is the first smart phone I ever had that did not have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
