Also I have searched for .acceleymymote in home/user using CuteExplorer and there is no such file there.

Would really like to make accelerometer less sensitive. Can any anyone tell me what im doing wrong please

I use nano-tiny, a console-based editor (in xterm). Don't edit anything in or under your home directory (/home/user) as root or you're going to cause problems.

I don't know if any of the gui editors can access files in user home directory, but you might try leaf edit, which is Extras.

How to Change Accelemymote Settings
Edit: I just tested it. Install leafpad from app manager and then open an xterm (NOT IN ROOT MODE) and type:
leafpad .accelemymote/main.cfg

Edit (increase) the max_roll and max_pitch lines. Save.

Tada!

The values in brackets [ ] are the defaults if you want to return it to original behavior.

The other value of interest is the offset_pitch, which determines what angle from flat is neutral.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?
