I've been trying to figure out the cause of a compass related error
for a while. After debugging and standing out in the rain slowly
spinning in circles for a while, I finally found out that my device is
reporting back yaw values inconsistently.

For example, the range of offset from magnetic north is +/- 46
degrees. The average offset is just under 20 degrees. Depending on how
I orient my G1, the error can go to 46 degrees off of magnetic north.
Has anyone here experienced similar results when reading yaw from the
sensor? I've gotten a number of reports from others complaining about
inaccuracy with compass type results and am wondering if this is a per
phone error or if all of the G1s have poor yaw/orientation sensors.
