Thanks for all your replay!

In my nightmare journey with the N9 I've tried different thing for resolve the issues by myself but no one ever fixed my problems.

When I've got the rotation sensor broken I've tried to adjust the settings in sensords.conf but was a no go; with the proximity sensor issue I cannot do anything.

With the earpiece sound volume I've tried to force volume with alsamixer but also with volume maxed to 100% the voice was so low as a distant whisper, I think it's an hw fault too this time.

The last N9 that come back was a new N9, dunno if was refurbished or not, i cannot check the imei, the product code is not listed on NavFirm+ but the OS Variant correspond to my first N9 CV - Switzerland.

Tomorrow I will bring it to the NCP and I won't see it until September...

Thanks for all your replies, I don't think that the N9 itself it's a bad product, instead I think it's a gorgeous one if only it works, mine not.

I think that this story is significant of where Nokia is going with her own foot: straight to an hole...
