[Bug 2062424] Re: When accelerometer detects rotation, it goes into airplane mode

[joaquin]

Here:


dmidecode: HP ENVY x360 2-in-1 Laptop 15-ew1xxx

As of evtest: there was no device clearly labeled accelerometer or mode,
so I tried running it for the more ambiguously-named peripherals.

Some devices that produced evtest output while I rotated the laptop (90
deg to the right and back):

Title:
  When accelerometer detects rotation, it goes into airplane mode

Status in systemd-hwe package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  On a HP ENVY X360 15-EW1073CL laptop, when the accelerometer detects
  rotation, it will go into airplane mode.

  I tried installing KDE plasma to see whether it would fix the problem,
  but the problem persists. However, I suspect that it's really not
  rfkill the module containing the bug, but rather some other system
  that associates orientation change to airplane mode.
