iPhone 5 compass does not calibrate or move.

I must have rearranged the screws after replacing the battery in my iPhone 5 because my compass stopped working. I went back into the phone after reading this post and I put the screws in their correct locations. Well, at least I though that I had. I also found out that a magnet attracted all of the screws so I used a magnetizer/demagnetizer (purchased at a hardware store) to demagnetize the screw at the top right. This solved the problem for a little while but the problem has now come back and the compass will not calibrate. I'll go back in and loosen the screw to see what that does. I'll post an update.

What is the update?

I tried that and the compass is still stuck. It only points to North. I do not know what to do next.

I don't know anything about the screws on an iPhone 5 (I can't see any), but this solution worked fine for me:

I have the exact same problem with my iphone 5s after replacing the battery. Not knowing that it matters, I used a "regular" magnetized Philips-Screwdriver which it seems has magnetized basically all screws and probably some more parts in there. I didn't even know, that the screws holding down the little shield on top of the screen connectors are different (one being made of aluminium, as it seems)

Now: I tried all of the above, including leaving screws out entirely -- no help, compass is totally stuck and can't be calibrated -- HELP!! Please!

One thought: I used to have (maybe still have) a demagnitizer for audio tape decks. Back then those were used to demaginitze the heads of cassette recorders for improved sound. Looks like a pen, with the tip being the demagnitizing end. Does ist sound like a good idea to use this on all the screws, the little metal plate and probably even in the phone (upper right corner)?

Thanks!!

I just realized that in may case not only the compass is stuck, but that also the orientation sensors don't work. I.e. when I turn the phone into landscape mode the screen stays in portrait (and I can hardly watch youtube videos anymore...) -- how can this be related?!

hi im was having problem to calibrate my iphone 5s with compass after too many solucions form forums and youtube nothing dident work so i try to take a part and remove motherborat and put it on alcoholl 96% for 3 min and rub it, after rub it i dry it wery well and let it dry in room temperature for 1 hour, after thet essembly it and dont put any screw with metal plate. and it works werty well so i take a risk all of that so im happy with that solucion, by every one and sory for my english i hope every one can understand......
