Turn off G-sensor / accelerometer ?
 

Apologies if this has been covered ad nauseum--I did look first.

I'd like to turn off screen rotation, and auto-screen rotation as well. I don't use either (besides, the screen-rotation RARELY works right--very unresponsive). Is there a way to do this?

I've disabled the g-sensor on my TP. However, it disables it in all programs.

Teeter no longer works
Flip to mute no longer works
Opera no longer auto rotates

I'm sure there is a feature buried in the advanced config of opera or the ini that will allow you to disable it for just opera.

That's exactly what I want, how did you do that?

Same here. How did you disable the G-sensor?

To completely disable the accelerometer, see this post I made some time ago. It has help my battery life as well.

I wouldn't bother fully disabling it, just disable it in Opera. Few programs even use it yet.

I also don't think that it helps out battery life that much at all.

how do you disable just in opera? i would love to do that, its pretty annoying having it switch on me when im laying in bed and i tilt it a little too much! and i dont want to lose the tilt for pictures though...

Ditto. A complete pain...

I agree. It would be nice to know this.

It would be different if it was responsive enough to happen when you actually turn. There is nothing like turning a little and then back and 3 seconds later the screen flips for no reason! Very annoying!

I think we need a thread listing the applications that use it, the associated settings, and if its required (Teeter). I'm guessing there may be some apps that run in the background with the sensor on for no real reason.

(Idea for app! when it senses a sudden drop, airbags inflate!)
