936730 - [Helix][1.1 HD] Browser orientation loads inverted

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Vendcom, defect)

Description

[Tony Chung [:tchung]]

Attachment: screenshot

The orientation sensor seems really sensitive, and most times starting up incorrectly.   This could be a driver issue, but this is an unacceptable user experience.   See Screenshot.

Repro:
0) insall the 10/25 base image from helix
1) install 1.1HD nightly build on Helix device
Gaia:     3dca30b3c4a7c6ed0bd23a717f846959e94b96c2
Gecko:    http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-b2g18_v1_1_0_hd/rev/1d8b95908208
BuildID   20131106042203
Version   18.0
2) have the device erected
3) Launch Browser App
4) Verify the orientation of Browser is inverted.  you can rotate it to get it back to the correct orientation, but 9/10 times, it launches up upside down.

Expected:
- fix the orientation correctly on startup for apps that have this orientiation true.

Actual:
- loads upside down.

This should be fixed in the OEM build.  see bug 908630

This problem does not exist on the OEM builds as they compensate for the sensor values within their gecko. The device does not have an orientation sensor so the values are calculated.

I recommend lets not block on this for v1.1HD as this is a device specific branch and problem does not exist on the commercial build.
