Re: [android-developers] Display.getRotation() incompatible with accelerometer data
I exchanged emails with producer of this tablet and service person acknowledged that's a bug in its firmware. They are not planning any fixes/updates. Based on that I claimed my money back in store where I originally bought this device.
