I hear the word 'firmware' being used, which is closely monitored and
work on by the manufacturer (HTC, Motorola, Sony Ericsson). I can
unserstand why google would have nothing to say, since this is likely
100% controlled by the phone manufacturer who wants to extend battery
life by turning off peripheral components in sleep state. My advice is
to work around it.
I'm sorry, this is silly. The only way to "work around it" is to
lock the display on! Which completely and utterly defeats any
battery savings they might have got.
I'm perfectly happy with the accelerometer by default being
off when the display is being slept, but there needs to be a
SDK programmatic way to turn it on for apps that need that
functionality. Please don't fall for Apple nanny-state silliness.

Holy crap, this again?!?
I just discovered this because we ordered four Nexus Ones to do some
demos of our research on the Discovery Channel. All of a sudden what
was working perfectly on the G1 stopped working altogether on the
Nexus One. If you read the archives of this list, you'll see that I've
harped about this a lot in the past, and was delighted when it was
changed in Cupcake. Now they've gone and broke it again. And I just
spent hundreds shipping these things to Canada.
Argggh. So Google, are you going to remain silent on this issue again,
or will you let us know at the very least why this decision was made.
You've pissed off a lot of developers. Not to mention that your Nexus
One phone won't be featured on the Discovery Channel bit that is being
filmed tomorrow. Tough luck.
Cheers,
Jordan

I'll third that on wanting to know what's up. Some insight as
to whether this is a hardware issue on some platforms would be
pretty nice too... the same thing happens on the iPhone but getting
any insight from them is impossible.

Thanks Lance. I saw that... it is one of the highest ranked issues
out there and the comments are being abused quite a bit, but there
does not seem to be any response from Google about whether or not they
plan to correct this going forward, or if they feel it is something
that even needs to be corrected.
I've been trying everything I can think of to find some kind of
workaround, but so far have failed to do so. It would be great to get
a response from one of the Google engineers on this and I think it
would hopefully at least put the issue to rest, even if the response
is that they do not plan to change this going forward. I hope that is
not the answer, but at least we would know.
The odd thing is that thesensorsappear to behave somewhat
differently depending on the actual device. For example, there are
different behaviors between the Droid and the Nexus One, despite the
fact that they are both using Android 2.1. So possibly some of the
issues are related to the variations in the hardwaresensors
themselves, but that is just more speculation.
Dianne, if you are out there, I think there are a lot of people that
would like to get a response on this one. Thank you!!

As I understand it, there seems to have been a change in the OS that
prevents the accelerometer from running when the screen turns off and
the phone CPU goes into its power saving state. Can this be
confirmed? I have gotten around this by using a wake lock, but this
is a much less than ideal solution as it drains a lot of battery.
If the accelerometer was disabled in low power mode to save the
battery, it may very well have the opposite effect in many cases, such
as mine. A partial wake lock seems to be required to keep it running,
which is obviously much worse than if just the accelerometer were
running without the need for the wake lock.
Are there any other workarounds anyone knows of to getting
accelerometer values while the phone is in low power mode? Also, are
there any plans to change this in future versions of the OS? If there
are no plans to change this, I would definitely like to petition for
this to be changed.
Thoughts? Ideas? Workarounds? Thank you!!
