Something strange in Froyo

[dgoldsmithac]

Frequently when I select an icon to launch something, the phone jumps to landscape mode, even though I haven't turned the phone. If I hit the back arrow, it usually fixes it. Seems like in 2.1 this didn't happen as much.

Is there a way to adjust the sensitiviy?

thanks

I just saw this as well for the first time today. Before today I hadn't seen this, and I installed both 85 and 91 right when the manual installs first came out. It seems to be pretty random. It's not often, and I can't find a rhyme or reason for it. Maybe it's just that I'm opening an app with my phone lying down or slightly tilted, but I'm not sure.

I also noted it takes a few seconds to recognize it and flip back to portrait even though the phone is completely upright. Mine usually fixes it automatically though. I don't have to back out. Try tilting your phone sideways and then upright again. It should correct itself automatically after a few seconds. Also, is your phone sitting on the table or something when you're opening stuff?

in my hand, however I don't think it's moving all that much. And it doesn't correct as quickly as I'd like it to, even when put vertically.

I haven't had this issue at all, but I've only
used the first version of FroYo that was
leaked and now I'm currently using CM6.

If you all are rooted, I was suggest trying
CM6 out off of CyanogenMod's (or XDA's)
site.

Try downloading the app Tricorder and see if your accelerometer has issues perhaps.

yeah.. sometimes happens to me.. but cannot exactly tell the behavior.
