Less sensitive should be considered a bug, and not a feature request.
The sensitivity is such that a minor tap on the side of the phone causes
it to change orientation to landscape and back. This is so bad, that in
some car journeys it's flicking to landscape and back frequently just
from the jostling of the car.

There needs to be some better handling there, like maybe a 0.25 second
delay before it considers the orientation to have changed. Or, just some
way to recognise and ignore taps and jostles which haven't actually
changed the orientation of the phone.
