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 the sensors appear 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 hardware sensors 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!!
