That's a bugger - power switch

---

Anyone else accidentally pressed the power button whilst using the HW keyboard? It's a better power switcdh in that it's easier to use, but it's also more sensitive and when I'm holding the phone in two hands and typing, I've accidentally hit the power button a few times.

It's still a million times better than the TP though.

But aren't you supposed to push AND hold it for it to power off? Or do you mean that any slight touch and it turns off the screen?

I've not done it myself no, but it comes up with a warning before switching it off anyway.

I've done it quite a few times .. you accidentally nudge the button and the screen goes blank ..

yeppers, im doing it but am learning not too lol

i'm starting to do this too! quite frustrating sometimes!

I was going to add a poll to see who could clock-up the most accidental-power-switch-whilst-typing hits but I can't see a way.

So I'll start the ball rolling:

3 (so far)

I've done it 7 times since yesterday.

4 of which were in a 10 minute gap last night when I couldn't figure out why my screen was switching off by itself. I was getting ready to RMA it when I remembered this thread and slapped myself.

I've already lost count of how many times I've switched the screen off, really frustrating!!

This is the only niggle I've come accross so far that I cant fix easily... I'll have to chop off my left index finger! lol

Funny. I never accidentally turn it off

I guess it's the way I hold the phone that's different than you guys. Because I can't think of a way why you can accidentally press the power button!
