There is something wrong with my phone. When I tap the phone slightly or even maybe twist it just a bit the camera ends up turning on.

I think this has to do with a switch being too close to the casing of the phone. Is there a way to shut off the camera from being turned on by disabling this switch through hardware? If not I'm going to have to call Sony to get this phone replaced.

I'm hoping others have run into this problem.

This phone has not beed dropped, it's fresh out of the case.

I use to have this problem.Sent to service will do the trick.This happened because the housing is not fitted properly.

Yeah, I called it in but the only thing is I'm going to have to wait. I need to finda cheapie phone while I wait for it to get fixed.

Did they send you a new phone or did they repair the problem?

Depends on how valid is your warranty.
