The accelerometer allows the device to detect the physical orientation of the device so we can use that information in our application. For example, if you open the calculator application on your device, in vertical view it will behave like a regular calculator. If you change the orientation to horizontal, the calculator will turn into a scientific calculator. However, if we don't manage the screen rotation efficiently, it may cause issues.

With some mobile applications, screen orientation initiates network connection just for that event. This wastes the device's battery power and consumes network resources.
