Overly sensitive screen?

[dougdeep]

I was thrilled about the sensitive touch screen, but I've found that it's way too easy to accidentally dial or worse with this phone. I have to explicitly turn off the screen before putting it back into my pocket, or I risk seeing settings changed, contacts called, or whatever else my thigh can do.

Anyone else?

I don't think it is the screen, but rather the nature of having a touch screen phone. I have done it a few times and am learning to make sure I hit the power button on top to lock it when I put it in my pocket. The phone doesn't know it is in my pocket.

So much for being a "smart" phone...

I employ the same method as you, turn it off before pocketing. It's not my first Android phone, I had a hero before this and didn't have the same problem. I am kind of wondering if I just didn't realize I was hitting the call end button on my Hero everytime I pocketed. I dunno.
