Google Sky with Venue 8 Android
Hi All,
Has anyone gotten google sky to work with the Venue 8? The App loads and runs OK, but the pointing at stars (auto alignment) seems way way off. You can spin around the room and a single planet remains on the screen.
I loaded sky eye, and it said the venue 8 was missing like several hardware features. I can't get back to that screen now but I am wondering if anyone has had any luck with either of these apps. They are both pretty nice.

More info on this. I got back to that screen on Skyeye (had to remove it and reinstall) but it says the Venue 8 is missing a Magnetometer, a Gyroscope and Sensor Fusion. It says it does have an Accelerometer but this is not enough to allow for "auto mode" in the app.
Its odd as both these apps work fine on a cheap Android 2.2 Motorola phone (the auto pointing feature (auto mode) as well).
