Thanks for the answers, Makes sense now, I am using the myTouch 4g and LG ally, sadly both of them I guess turn off their sensors. Its good to hear that the Nexus and some 2.3 device keep it on and hopefully other manufacturers adopt this.
I guess i'm going to try and find a work around. Any suggestions?
