Known problems/quirks

1. Occasionally the proximity sensor registers "out of holster" when it's already out of the holster.
You wouldn't notice this unless you having logging set to Verbose. It plays a short tone when
Silence! detects it is already out of the holster.
2. Certain surfaces, like wood lament surfaces, don't register with the proximity sensor.
