I think I've stumbled onto an explanation of why sometimes the profiles menu is up when it shouldn't be. That is, it's the same as if you clicked on the Profiles icon and didn't choose a profile... like it's waiting for you to press the enter key or click the trackball.

First, we know that the application currently can't switch profiles while holstered, and instead it plays a tone and vibes so that when you unholster/unlock the device, the app will come active and use keystroke injection to change the profile.

Well, I use my device as my watch; and often check the time by pulling it out of the holster and then sticking it right back in afterwards. At the time of a scheduled rule change, I got my tone and vibrate but I didn't want to pull it out then and there to let the rule change the profile, so I forgot about it. Later on, I went to check the time, made a note of it and as I was starting to put the device back into the holster, noticed that the rule was starting to kick in and do a profile change to the profile that was scheduled to be active a half hour ago (that I never got around to letting it do). But although I noticed the popup screen starting to come up for the app doing the rule change, habit took over and I had it holstered before I realized it.

When I pulled the device back out, it was stopped in mid-stream; half completed in making the profile change; and it didn't continue. I just clicked the trackball to finish it off.

So I did a bit of playing around with it, and I can duplicate it somewhat consistently if I time it just right (or, time it just wrong, depending on how you look at it). Again, this would only occur after a scheduled rule change while holstered -- if you unholster it and holster it again before the Profile Scheduler has finished doing it's thing.

I don't consider this to be a bug, but I am posting this as a possible explanation to others of what might be experienced. As a side note but related, I have 3 holsters: an Otterbox 1933, an OEM holster, and a nice Milante Abrutti (sp?) holster. However, the Milante holster does not have it's sleep magnets in the exact right place and I can see the screen turning on and off while it's still holstered. So I never use that holster any more, but I can see it causing all sorts of problems with apps that use keystroke injection throughout the normal course of a day.
