Exactly. Wouldn't want the device to make un-timely phone calls without your knowledge. And as slim as the battery life--why should the screen turn on unecessarily?

It is not a WM bug. I have other WM devices that don't do this. I've only seen this on HTC devices. It seems like when the device goes from 1xRTT to EVDO and/or goes from poor coverage to cell-site acqusition, the screen lights up. PITA.

Have you tried S2U2? It's the only way I can get thru the day without mistaken calls.

Yeah, but are those other devices WM6.1? I never had this issue until I installed 6.1.

The Touch, with WM6.0, did this. I have a 700WX, with 6.1, does not do this.

Hmm... My Verizon 700WX never does it.

My Alltel 700wx never did it... but all of my HTC devices have and do.
