How does the Holster function work?
Don't know if this has ever been asked.. but how does the "Holster" function work on Blackberries?
How does the phone know it's being holstered?
I've seen the settings in profiles for when "holstered", and have been wondering how this technology works? I mean there isn't anything electronic in the holsters, right? It's just plastic, so how does it work?
Also I've been hearing about "Sleeper magnet", what is that?
So far I only have a generic plastic holster that looks like the Seidio but it's a generic version that cost me only $7 at a local no name cell phone accessory store. When I put my phone in it and the backlight is on, as soon as I sit it in the bottom notches to click it in, the backlight goes out.
And with the OEM leather pouch, as soon as I slide it down into it, when it hits a certain point I can see the backlight go out. I'm assuming it's going into holster mode when these two things happen?
Thanks for your help in answering these questions in advance.
