xoom sporatically asks me to power down

[pnico]

Hi can anyone tell me why my xoom randomly asks me if I want to shutdown??

 

[DrWu]

you're accidentally holding down the lock button on the back while you're holding the Xoom. Happens to me sometimes too, I have to train myself to hold it differently.

Oh also are you left handed or right handed? I'm left handed and I have a theory that this may only happen to left handed people.

I'm right-handed, so I hold the Xoom in my left hand because I want to touch and swipe and slide with my right hand. (Wouldn't most left-handed people be holding the Xoom with their right hand for the same reason?)

Anyway, I had done this a few times myself, so like DoctorWu I had to do some remedial training myself...

I have a gel cover on mine and anytime I take it off I have the same problem. Had me worried for a bit til I figured it out.
