Default My 8120 Pearls screen will come on, and scroll on its own.

I always put my phone alone in my left pocket, screen facing inside and the phone is upside down.

Sometimes when i pull it out, which i do with caution not to hit buttons, or drag the phone on my pants, i find the screen has turned on and my selected icon will be different than i left it, like the phone scrolled, but i NEVER touched or let anything touch the wheel, or any buttons.

The only thing i can think is that something either in my pants, or my belt, is magnetic and causing the phone to do this? anyone else have this happen?

And you don't think that it's very likely that the trackball is dragging against your pocket?

I just don't think so, I put my fingers against the inside of my pocket while i pull it out so the screen, buttons don't drag. Plus it would have to drag pretty hard to turn the screen on by clicking it, then scroll some, idk.

I was hoping someone else had this happen, but i guess its not a big deal, it doesn't happen too often. I might start keeping the screen on the outside of my pockets.
