Can you run these two commands with the light sensor uncovered and covered (with your thumb or something) and the keyboard opened and closed (use the onscreen keyboard):
Code:
cat /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0029/lux
cat /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/slide/state
and let me know what you get?

Thanks.
Hi, I have the same problem as previous posters - autolock is active, i can see the popups about turning it on and off but nothing happens.
When I read the light sensor with your command I get 7 with opened ine and 0 with covered. Its strange on the second command - its always "open" regardless if the keyboard is closed and onscreen keyboard was used!
Mayby this is the problem and this is a hardware error?
