Sorry are you suggesting that all android phones suffer from the same bugs? Surely the software issue here is a problem with Nokia. If someone else had released a maemo phone would it have suffered all the same tons of bugs in the N900? I would be suprised if that was the case. If all meego phones are going to have the same software bugs irrespective of the device manufacturer then maybe I should seriously consider just jumping to android now because from what I can tell it doesn't suffer from the loaded bugs I get on n900.
OTOH yes Maemo is Nokia and many would argue that Nokia should get out of software altogether much like HTC. But Meego is different in the respect that the vanilla image and reference UX have not been developed by Nokia (although the community edition for the n900 is likely to contain Nokia's Harmattan UX). I for one think that the Meego experience will be drastically different than Maemo... for better or for worse

And the phone doesn't seem capable of recognising a change of orientation when the screen is blanked. It's always:
* take phone away form ear & hold in landscape
* screen comes back on
* WHOA! wrong orientation!
* screen goes off again
* screen comes back on a couple of seconds later in landscape mode.
* maybe those clicks you made while the display was jumping around registered - maybe they didn't. Who knows!
It's as though it doesn't bother to check the accelerometer until after it's unblanked the screen (& made the wrong choice).
It's painfully clumsy with an overclocked kernel & no tasks running. Truly the phone user experience is prehistoric!

this is why you force the phone app to use portrait mode all the time.

It wasn't meant to be bought, Nokia even said so themselves. Only most people only found that out after they bought it.

Hey guys,
I can understand your reasons, but of all, only about 5 posts are actually helping the OP's question.
Pretty bad rate, but fortunately we did let him know about the solution.
Could you please move algong and continue flaming in another thread, and keep the off-topic stuff from here?

Ok Im i suppose re-activating this thread....there is no solution in this thread for the OP and my problem.
Locking the orientation to landscape does not fix this issue as most of the time the issue is that the screen does not wake up, i.e stays blank.
I have been in so many meetings where i forgot to mute the phone, it rings and i cant cancel the feckin call, i actually have to whip the battery out. People looking at me and asking what am i doing...i tell them im just putting it on silent......its a linux phone dont you know i tell them....its a feature.
All joking aside is there no app that would allow the answering of calls by sliding out the keyboard or pushing the camera button ??
Thanks in advance

First of all please test if your sensor is working by running the following command in Xterminal:
Code:
while true; do cat /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/proximity/state; done
