New test case - more worrying the screen rotates itself after having
laid on the desk a while:

1. Open the app scope
2. Shake the phone and put in on the desk kind of quickly (a protective case is recommended) such that the left edge of the phone touches the desk before the right.
3. Wait a few seconds making sure the screen is not rotating while the phone lays on the desk.
4. Tap the Settings icon.

Expected: Rotation does not change after Settings opens.
Observed: Screen rotates to landscape as soon as Settings opens.

** Summary changed:

- Unity8 is over-sensitive to brief (accidental) tilting, making the screen rotate when you don't want it to.
+ Screen rotates itself to landscape when the phone is laying on the desk

  Screen rotates itself to landscape when the phone is laying on the

Bug description:
  Screen rotates itself to landscape when the phone is laying on the
  desk.

  I might be mistaken but this bug seems to be a new issue that arrived
  with the full shell rotation feature in wily. Using a phone while it's
  laying flat on the desk it sometimes rotates itself to landscape.

  Seems like we might have some over-sensitive accelerometer logic.
