Hi Tropolite,
I'm glad to hear that the 'Compass Fixer' app resolved your issues. My understanding was that the correction it applied to true north was limited to the app itself and would not affect any other apps, such as Nokia City Lens. The issue is at the Magnetometer API level and could only be addressed by Microsoft. One app should not be able to affect this API and have an impact on any other apps.
Full disclosure, I make a similar app (Compass Bearing) that attempts to make corrections. I'm not aware of any way to manipulate the Magnetometer API to correct the declination or overflow issues across multiple apps.
Regards,
Daniel
