Ok, I was just about to ask - then why couldn't I install the package from devel repo but again thought of giving it a try before I go ahead and now it worked despite the scary warning messages in the package page. Thanks nwz...

I cannot upgrade to the latest version using app manager. Says just that package is damaged or something like that (I have finnish language in my device, so don't know the exact english translation).

Edit: from x-term I get size missmatch error.

I had the same problem when I tried to update via App Manager coz other times I was only using the local .deb files I have. However, as a final test I just installed V0.1-4 and again tried to update via App Manager and this time it worked and updated to V0.1-5 so you can give it a try (Click the "update" button in App Manager before just to be in the safe side as the problem I'm guessing (Can it be the reason?) is I uploaded the same 0.1-5 twice trying to include bug-tracker as well though it wasn't ready and its not showing anyway )

EDIT: Now its freaking me out. Tried again from App Manager and didn't work. However, from x-term "sudo apt-get install psswitcher" upgrades to newer one fine. Why not? Why? NWZ, I'll upload 0.1-6 and hopefully it will fix things.

I'm up to 1.7 now and no more distance setting, no keyboard, grayed options... what's wrong?

^^ same here.

Distance option didn't have to be there in the first place. I had mistaken it for proximity but actually it is for light sensor . However, had the result from setting the distance been the same throughout all circumstances which I mentioned earlier in this thread, I wouldn't have bothered to remove it at all, instead it would be cool but as it turned out rather irritating and pain esp using during night time, I had to get rid of it.
The reason to disable options are that using proximity and others - keyboard and cam key, at the same time will be a disaster coz when proximity is used as soon as you take phone away speakers will be on. Imagine yourself in the situation pressing camkey to turn off speakers but it turns on back again..
So you need to uncheck "Use Proximity" to enable both other options and just checking one of these(other) options will disable "Use Proximity" for the above reason.
Also, the "Open dashboard when turning on speakers" option will be disabled if no options/shortcuts to toggle speakers are selected coz it makes no sense without them.
Hope it clears out everything but if its some kinda bugs you are talking about then plz let me know what it is and how it occurs coz the bug tracking isn't working yet and I haven't heard anything from "Andrew" if he's incharge coz last time he contacted me for this matter.

Hey jaeezzy thanks for a wonderful application, but wouldn't it be easier to open a garage for this? And also upload it to Maemo Extra-devel or Extra-testing which ever it needs to be in? This would make it much easier to report a bug and also to obtain..

And again, thanks for you efforts and for this application, will try to test it asap when I get the chance to!

Good job jaeezzy - great app! can I make a small suggestion for future versions? How about an option to override the automatic speaker turn-on?
Sometimes when I'm @ work in the office, when people call me and I answer it immediately turns the speaker on - so far, so good - sometimes that's really useful, but usually not while I'm at work which could sometimes disturbs others, even if its for a second 'till I put the phone to my ear...
I suggest a simple automatic-speaker-turn-on-override, like if I answer a call while the camera key is pressed, the speaker will not turn on by itself... I think this could be very useful, especially due to the fact that the camera key is no use while taking calls and because its very convenient to press and hold it while answering a call, because of its position and due to the fact that you usually answer a call in portrait mode...

Just a minor suggestion - and in the meanwhile, keep up the good work

thanks, that makes sense. im trying to use the proximity only. when i first installed the default proximity setting had me having to smush the phone against my face for the speakers to turn off. i then set it to the higher setting and it made it so i could hold the phone comfortably to my ear to get the speakers to turn off. this seemed to work better for me. now without the settings it seems to be set to what the default was and im back to having to smush the phone against my face so i just disabled it all together. so that setting had some kind of effect. would it be possible to set the default to what ever the max was (40?)? it just seemed to work a lot better for me and now its just uncomfortable to use.

@bandora: Ya you can download the application from extras-devel but coz of the trouble one might get into for using extras-devel I've put it here as well coz I'm quite sure it won't do any such serious damage to N900. About the garage thing, I dont know I'ven't even thought of trying it as when I first tried uploading package it was couple extra steps for free package while not much for non-free so obviously chose the easier one

@efekt: ya you are right. I have thought of implementing this one: If one doesn't want the speakers on while using proximity(as its not required while using other two options) one will press the camkey while answering the call(it will kinda deactivate proximity) and if wants to activate back(I'm talking in one single conversation) one simply presses the camkey and take the phone away from ears and its back... However, I'm not sure how much interference its gonna have with shortcutd's long press action. nwz, 'll give it a try and update here.. any thoughts will be appreciated.. btw thanks for the feedback/suggestions..
