You can force the sensor to remain active when the screen blanks by setting the property "alwaysOn" to true. (http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1.2/sensors-api.html#meego). Not familiar with PySide, but I'm sure there's a way to set it. This is the preferred way. >For my application it is essential to have access to the acceleration sensor >all the time. >In Memo5 it was posible with reading out >/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-3/3-001d/coord >Is there a similar way for Harmattan? >(I looked quickly in /sys/class/i2c-adapter but could find the sensor there) You can listen to /dev/input/accelerometer, but note that sensord will adjust the driver properties based on client requests through its API. So the rate that you are getting samples with may vary depending on other applications. There is also a debug handle /sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d/coord which you can use to get the current reading, but using the mobility API is preferable. // Timo _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines
