I recently received a comment in the market by someone claiming that my app has caused the accelerometer in their phone to stop functioning. I'm taking this comment with a grain of salt, but I thought I would post a message and see if this is possible in any way shape or form, or if any other developers have heard of this from any of their users. I am highly doubtful that this is the case as I have used my own personal phone to test each of my applications and I've probably abused it much more than some users, and it still works fine.
I did receive an email from a user, on my first app, stating that the application did not respond to any movements. The indivual ended up getting a replacement phone as their accelerometer was deemed defective. The code in all my applications only register the accelerometer and orientation sensors. When the application is killed or paused, I unregister them just to be sure. Anyways, no one has emailed me to say that their accelerometer has been damaged so I'm not too worried, but I'd like to take the neccessary steps if it is possible, or at least provide a warning to the user.
