Experienced DELAY with ROTATION-SENSOR?
Have you guys experienced a delay with the rotation-sensor when viewing pics?
This morning it seems to work fine.
BUT yesterday, I was viewing pictures, and it took some time for it to rotate my pics--sometimes not at all. When it didn't, I had to rotate a complete 180 to work. (I asking this because I am expecting it might happen again.)
I am thinking heat might have something to do with it. When it's hot = delay. When it's cool (like first touch in the morning) = okay.
Anyone experienced this?

For me, it also depends on the tilt. If I have the iPhone completely upright, the accelerometer works without a hitch. If I'm angled and then I rotate, it might take a bit for it to realize it's in a new orientation.

That sounds like a tip, thanks.

Accelerometer and Games
I have read somewhere that they might utilize the accelerometer for controlling games, possible games that would be made for iPhone.
If this were true, the accelerometer has to work perfectly.
But iThink this might not happen.
Thus, touch-screen games would be the only choices?

Definitely changes sensitivity in regards to tilt so it doesn't keep spinning on someone who is using it tilted. This morning, for example, I'm on set and it won't spin the album covers in coverflow. Really frustrating.

I tap the top of the phone with my finger when this happens. Works great.

tap the screen at the top or the phone?

The edge of the phone, the body, whichever edge is up.
Not sure if that is clear, if not I?ll try again.

But why is it doing this so quickly? The rotational forces should be enough - tapping the unit now to make it work, just 7(+) days post launch.
