Re: Love at first sight...then

It's been reported that this is a mechanical issue of poor electrical contact between parts on the front and back halves of the phone, just above the volume-up button. If you're just a little daring, you can fix it yourself:

Verizon reportedly has acknowledged there's an issue, and has a hardware fix. I don't know about AT&T.

T-Mobile reportedly had (has?) a separate, firmware, issue where it'd keep locking and unlocking. Some people say it's fixed in recent firmware, others say it's not.

I predict that this is going to become a big issue due to Pokemon Go.
