Description

The WP8 implementation of getHeading() checks every 100 ms, if the sensor returned already data. Since watchHeading calls also getHeading, this can produce the error 4 (ErrorFailedToStart). This happens quite often with a frequency < 300 ms.

Unfortunately, the default value for frequency is 100 ms.
