Re: Device light and proximity sensor

We implemented device orientation, device motion, device proximity, device light in Firefox for Android.  You can take a look there?

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.
