Appearently not many knew about this, but is reported before. The case is simple. When the phone is locked, you can still turn it off with holding the power button. Just lock your phone and hold the button. You will see what happens.
It's not a hardware issue, it's just like that. So when you carry your phone in your pocket, you take a sit in your car, it can be that the button is pushed inside your pocket. Result, phone turning off and many times also back on again and waiting for you to type your pin. This is very frustrating!
It probably will depend if you have a sleave around your phone, or if the button is a little inside. I have the Mozart where the button is just on top and easy to push.
The solution, disable the power off function when the phone is locked. How hard can it be to fix this?
I always carried my phones around in my pocket, and this is the first one that actually is able to turn itself off. And nope, I don't wear thight pants with very small pockets. My avatar yes
It's just one of those little stupid things that Microsoft didn't think about. Normally I would say no problem, fix it with an update, but nope. They didn't. It was already reported 10th of November 2010 and still it is like this.
