I just recently updated my phone and it seems like the switch from portrait and landscape doesn't work quite as well. The angle at which I have to put it on landscape is steeper and it's really annoying. Anyone else have this problem?

edit: I know the firmware went through coz the lock bug isn't there anymore. but when I connect via USB it still tells me "charging" . Just saying

hey there, what you are referring to isn't the proximity sensor lol. the proximity sensor is basically used to detect when your face is close enough to the phone (i.e. when pressing your ear against earpiece), so that the display switches off to stop accidental presses of the screen, and to conserve power by turning the backlight off. anyways what you are referring to are the sensor settings for the accelerometer in your phone. i don't have a N97 so can't vouch for what you're saying, although it may not exactly be a bug, rather a tweak of the accelerometer settings. from memory, the N97 charges via USB, does it not? this behaviour will be automatic upon plugging the cable into your PC. i doubt that there is an option to turn it off, though i am not exactly 100% sure about this. this behaviour may be changed in future firmware updates or it may not, as the phone relies on USB charging as its sole charging method. but its not really a bug as such.

please throw some kudos our way, it would mean a lot to us

It is normal for the phone to start charging when you plug the USB connector in as long as there is sufficient power to charge it.

As for the N97's accelerometer, remember, it is an accelerometer, not an "orientation sensor", so if you lay it flat on the table and turn it around or hold it at too shallow an angle and turn, it won't detect any change. And before anybody makes the stereotypical comparison, it's pretty much the same with the current iPhones too, I've done a side-by-side.

It's like a fluid gauge, if you know how that works, you should understand what I'm saying.

Yeah I know what you guys are saying, and sorry for using the wrong term

But yeah to me it was better before I updated the FW it responded faster lol. I even tried HW reset, reinstall the FW..Nothing D: hmmm..

Oh and mk about the charging thing aha.
