Hi Abhishek, The expectation has been that the accelerometer chip should power down once the driver handle is released. Seems like we can't trust this to be the behavior everywhere, so I think resetting the poll parameters would be a good idea (and generally good behavior anyway). Perhaps we can make it more generic than just accelerometerAdaptor: standby()/stop() in DeviceAdaptor could set interval to defaultInterval, assuming default is always the most power consumption friendly value available. Then resume()/start() would set the correct value by running the evaluateIntervalRequest() again. This way every adaptor would follow the same rules. How does that sound? // Timo _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
