Ah sorry my fault, I think I may have mis communicated my original
issue. I wanted to know if there was a way of detecting the actual
phone orientation rather than the screen orientation (I want my
application to always stay in one orientation but still be able to
detect the current orientation of the phone).
I noticed that although all orientation detection functions stay
constant once I have set my requested orientation the "INFO/
WindowManager(567): Setting rotation to" message still seems to detect
the Orientation change.
