RE: Device light and proximity sensor

Yes, given an implementation I could create a test. But it might take someone with device-level debugging tools to draw accurate data from the CPU and/or battery status. So an OEM or platform vendor would be better to run specific tests on their platform(s). It could also vary by platform, per the implementation approach, so I don't think a limited test sample would be conclusive.

Thanks,

But in both cases, my main concern is the delivery of superfluous events, which I believe would cost in terms of CPU battery etc (I don't have actual test results to validate that assertion).


This is an important concern, and we should test it to see what energy difference it can make.  Will you be willing to run that experiment?
