Anyway of lowering the sensitivity of the front buttons?

Is there a way to lower the sensitivity of the front buttons? It seems that I can barely handle my phone when it comes to playing music or using gps without hitting one of the front buttons. This happens even when I am holding it on the side it seems.

This is really bad as it results in restart games, lost typed data in youtube and having to retype and just all around annoying.

Amen, glad I'm not alone. Never found anything yet. Chalked it up to all those previous resistive screens of the mogul,tp, and tp2. Been a learning curve. My arch enemy was the search button. A love/hate relationship lol. More love than hate though, just less "bulldoging" with time.

Is it me or is the search button the most sensitive out of all the front buttons? i mean every day i accidentally touch it.

the worse part of those buttons is they're so sensitive you don't have to touch them. sometimes hovering close to it is enough

It's no more sensitive than the other buttons. Its just that it's the button that ur most likely to hit because of its location. Some tips to avoid it are to enable word correction/completion and type at a more steady pace. Hold the phone along the bottom edges rather than by the base and when passing it to someone to show them something,lay it down into their hand rather than handing it to them. There are also cases available that have a separator between the screen and the buttons which will also help. That's pretty much all u can do.

I think it must just be the size and design of the phone. I haven't had this issue since switching to the Titan.

Yeah, I was always triggering search on my Arrive. The Titan is so big I can't get anywhere near the buttons by accident, lol.
