VZW Screen Locking

---

Anyone else having issues with screen locking with the VZW version? Even when I push the power button at the top my screen comes back on in the holster.
Apparently (a Sprint owner can confirm) the Sprint version has "long press end key" built in to lock the device. I noticed that if I locked the device while using TFLO3D it would somehow get unlocked without me manually doing it.

Anyone else having same issue?

I am installing S2U2 now ... will report back

Also I downloaded LockMeLite

I have the VZW TP2 and have had the same problem, usually when I would slide it into my side pouch. It's annoying.

I would rather have it lock automatically then unlock. I think there might be something built in to it that if the proximity sensor and buttons are pressed that it auto locks. Even though at times I get annoyed that I have to unlock it, I would rather that happen then pocket dial someone...

i have not confirmed this but i think that if u have a magnetic holster, than the magnet is active like the switch that turns ur phone from portraight to landscape when u slide out the keyboard. when u put the phone in the case it passes the magnet and thinks that u just opened the keyboard

I have seen blackberries and model-specific holsters which do that, but I believe something else here is to blame. I have noticed this issue in my pocket, and unless parts of my anatomy are magnetic, I would have to assume something else is going on.

Yeah it does change the orientation of the screen as well so you could be right.

Yep, i was shoving it into a Blackberry holster. (until my orderd one gets here)..lol...so yeah, something definitely is going on.

i could just wave my phone infront of my case and the screen will turn on along with the orientation changing

So, is this specific to BB case which use to magnet to turn off screen when holstered (very smart), or is this an issue with all magnetic closure cases???

I haven't even found a TP2 CDMA belt case without a magnetic closure.

its an issue with all magnetic cases
