Hi Raul, I can't confirm this. Or am I denying this? lol. I'm confused now. Well, I'm trying to say, I don't find myself needing to make broader gestures on my iPad mini for them to register more consistently. One of the first things I did was set the switch on the side of the mini to toggle orientation lock instead of muteing the device. I couldn't stand it when orientation would just flip on me. haha.
