And for the first time it shut off on my while I was ordering pizza over the phone! Any help is verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you unlock your phone recently?

try this one...flash dance

flash back to stock...and flash your ROM of choice.
don't ask me how...(think there's a tead somewhere here or xda that explains the nuts and bolts...) but flash back to ROM fixes quite a bit...

if you have done this already...I'd suggest a hard reset and check what else you've installed on top of the custom set up...

Also, flash back to the last stable ROM that ran your device...and start again from there...

I've had my phone unlocked since it came out and have been flashing ROMs constantly.

As of now, there is no "fix" for it. So find a lock program that will prevent you from pressing any buttons accidentally if needed.

You can try changing radios to see if that helps, but it won't completely stop the random turning on.

[COLOR="rgb(75, 0, 130)"]I haven't so much as to flash back to stock. But I have flashed back to the last stable ROm since, and it still does the same thing. It just shuts itself off. I've noticed it does it whenever I slide it open to text, and as soon as I'm done sending, I slide it back to portrait and it shuts off. But just recently, it shut off right in the middle of a phone call.[/COLOR]

according to what you are saying, i would recommend flashing all the way back to stock as that will hopefully reset everything and remove any problems on your phone. (I misread your original post at first)

Funny. Mine turns itself ON.

I had that problem. I found out that srs wow hd. was causing it. I removed that and it solved the problem. I hate doing that cause I like the way it makes my phone louder for music and overall performance. but it isn't stable on the tp2. I hope this helps if you installed that app

Nope, Never installed that app. I'm going to have to flash back to the original stock Sprint ROM and then clear wipe out the storage. Sigh... Pretty sure it doesn't wipe out my storage card, right? Hopefully. Thanks for the help! I just rreeaallllyy hope its not the phone itself.
