Power problems, T68i switching off |

It seems that my T68i keeps swtiching itself off, and I am either left with a switched off phone or sitting at the PIN screen. As if the phone has been switched off and then on again.
Having played around with it a little bit it appears that even with the "keylock" on if you hold down the On/Off button for a period of time the phone will switch off. This is my problem, phone in pocket etc sit down and the buttons are getting pressed by mistake. My question is, is this right? Should my phone be doing this or is there something wrong?
I don't really want a phone that can be switched off by mistake with a keylock function. |

with keylock on, you can still turn on and off the phone (well, just off really) and it was intended to be that way...doesn't make sense to me either. but ur power problem is common i think. about once a week my phone turns itself off, and i always take it out of my pocket to check, and i turn it on, and i have like 5 voicemail cause it's been off for 6 hours or so. it might be just us, but i'm experiencing the same annoying problem. |

Thanks for the reply, I suppose it is at least better to know that it is a "undocumented feature" and I am not the only person that gets this small feature.
Thanks again.

It's a feature, and well I don't think it is undocumented. I think it is mentioned in the manual (not 100% sure about that). It is a reset for the phone. If you hold NO for 10s the phone resets. Just like if you hit ctrl,alt,del on your pc.
This is made because it's much better to reset (if the phone hangs) the phone than to remove the battery when the power is on. Removing the battery with the power on could destroy something. And on for example the T65 you can't remove the battery, at least not in a easy way.
If the phone hangs you should press NO for 10s and not remove the battery |

The press-no-for-10-sec is a feature not a bug.
But my phone almost always switches off while I'm browsing graphic intensive wap sites. It never happenes if I only browse an all text wap site so I'm inclined to blame the SW. |

Some times my phone also switches off then back on again and i get the Pin screen. This has even happened when in a suit pocket so no chance of the keys being presssed. |

I know it isn't really a bug but it is bugging me. 
I don't want my phone to switch off when it is in a pocket or something, as you wouldn't believe how easy it is to hold down the On/Off button for 10seconds.
Thanks for the information, at least I know why it is doing it. |

Another option is to upgrade your SW to the latest or at least the R2E006 in case you haven't checked yet |

That has nothing to do with the problem that it shuts down if you hold the No button for 10 seconds while keylock is on!

It is a rather weird feature and I expect to some a rather annoying one but I doubt there'll be any resolution on it though... |
