Hi Boys and Girls,

I noticed the approximator on N900 DOES NOT WORK properly under fluorescent light (ie. energy saving light or fluctuating light in certain frequency.).

If you would like to test, please:

1. get a energy saving light.

2. dial someone or your other phone under the light above.

Then you will have problems (some or all of them)...

1. Mic does not work.

2. Speakers (both) do not work.

3. Screen turns off. (this suppose to happen ONLY when the approximator is covered by your face or finger.)

When you move N900 away from the energy saving light, the approximator and the phone function will back to normal (if your ambient light is not fluorescent light!!).

How serious of this problem can be?
The phone function will not work properly under shopping center lights, because most of them are fluorescent type of light.

I can not confirm if this is a hardware or software problem, but if the iphone's has the same approximator then we need a firmware update soon.

Please consider the phone function under emergency situation.
Any solution suggestion are welcomed.
