Re: Magnet in case turns LCD on

My first quick post was just a smartass answer. I guess I am an older member than I realized. The PPC-6700 and 6800 came with magnetic cases, The screen will power on with a magnet due to this being how screen rotation works. It isn't a problem pulling it out, but it is a HUGE issue when putting it in. Especially given that hitting the talk or d-pad will dial the last person called. I have had some VERY awkward calls in the past with this issue. VERY awkward indeed. HTC went to Velcro cases with the 6950 and I HATE it. The sound drives me batty. I used to wear slacks and a belt every day and I carried mine in the magnetic case. When you learn about the turn on issue you make sure to be more careful of putting it in, you can never make that Velcro silent though. Unless you watch Garden State. They will change your life you know...
