The satellite icon jumps out of the circle. The Pointing screen points in the wrong direction.

SpaceLinq uses the phone's internal compass.  Sometimes the compass "gets lost."  If the satellite icon jumps out of the circle or the Pointing screen points you in the wrong direction, it may be because the compass needs to be re-calibrated.  To re-calibrate the compass, hold your phone and tilt it toward the ground.  Move it in a figure eight several times.  This should reset the compass.  Try sending or retrieving messages again.
