I have since done a Comprehensive reflash of my device.
I now have a near factory firmware PR1.2.(singapore version 005)

Still no luck. Both browser and firefox launch and go over to landscape.

Also i tried 2 games in the ovi store: gool maze and Tilt N fun.
Both these only recognize top-bottom tilt motions..meaning lengthwise.Breadthwise(left right) tilt is not recognized.

Then i just whipped my phone hard and fast to the right/left and then there is just a slight deviation but the balls in the game return back to top-bottom alignment.

It is possible this could be a hardware issue. I am taking this to Nokia today.

Again, i checked this link:

Maybe sensitivity is an issue.

Has anyone had this with the APAC firmwares?

Generally how is the browser supposed to behave? Is it supposed to switch normally to portrait/landscape on normal tilt?
