Loving my passport, however I notice that almost every time I pull it out of my pocket, I have an insane amount of pocket dialing type stuff going on. i.e. several home screen links opened, bbm clicks into profiles, compose messages and multiple drafts, it's a huge mess.

I've been playing around with turning off the lift to wake feature, setting the security timeout to 5 min. Wondering if anyone else is facing these kind of issues? I never had this prob with my q10.

Lock your device

Settings > Display > Swipe to wake (OFF).

Yes, it'll be less convenient to wake the device but that will most likely solve your accidental pocket press issue.

Yep... swipe to awake must be turned off, it'll have you calling everyone in your recent calls list.

I'm hitting the power button to turn off the screen like I do with my q, and I have the swipe to wake enabled as well but I never had these issues on my q10.

The lower security timeout is helping but I just find it weird that it seems much more sensitive.

if you go to advanced interactions and disable "flip to save power", it will fix that problem. I had the problem too, with both my z10 and passport, while did not have the issue with 10.2.1 on z10. turning that option off solved problem for both

Remember, huge difference between Q10 keyboard and Passport keyboard. Passport keyboard has capacitive touch. Your accidental dials could be keyboard swipes, not screen related which would explain why you didn't have this problem with your Q10.

I also am using Advanced Interaction feature by enabling Flip to save power. Works great!

Also, like with any touchscreen phone, never put the screen against your body. Took the habit of putting it the other way and never got a pocket dial anymore !

Have to disagree as i always put my BlackBerry screen against my skin. Never unintentional dialing occur to me. May be I am lucky.

It's interesting how there always seem to be a few that have frequent inadvertent dialing issues with these touch screen devices. I've never had an issue. Maybe has to do with the pocket material (some transmit leg skin capacitance more than others)? or perhaps whatever else is in the pocket with the device?

I really hope they come out with a holster for those that would rather not find out.

or maybe you're low on electrolytes!

I am wearing cloth so the screen never actually touches my skin! Having back of the phone facing out also help preventing any accidental bump to your breakable screen just saying.

It most likely has to do with the screen that you have up when you pocket the device. My Z10 defaults to the call log after a call, so any time I touch the device in my pocket, before it goes to lock screen will dial. I don't think that the post call screen always defaulted to the call log. It started to happen to me on my update to 10.2.2.1531. I could be wrong about when the log became the default screen, but that seems to be the issue for me.

Not at all on any of my phones. Set a password and lock your phone when you put in a pocket or where ever it has a chance of being used.

I don't have flip to save power enabled. All those advanced interactions are disabled.

Even with the locked screen, the bedside mode is engaging and destroying my alarms while it's in my pocket. *never* had this on my q. It's driving me nuts

Sir I will try that next. I always put screen touching my thigh as a way of protecting the screen in case I bump into something, but I may have to compromise

Also I've always had a password since my blackberry 8700 :P

Putting it screen side away from my thigh did not help. Even specifically locking the phone didn't help as it is wrecking havoc by going into bedside mode, messing up my alarms, and then hitting the try alarm button and playing the alarm while in my pocket. This is getting crazy, am I the only one that has it this bad???

Turn off swipe to awake. It will continue to pocket dial otherwise.

Not all the touch screen phone have this problem, because, in my opinion it is a problem. In fact at list IPhone doesn't.

The same problem as touch anywhere on the screen to mute the ring.

Have to agree with bobshine, I got a few pocket dials in the beginning. I turned the phone around (screen out) and they have stopped.

I am having this problem (and more, see below), and it is really annoying. I don't remember this being an issue with my Z30. And I never had this problem with my Nokia N9 that you could double tap to wake. I think it's something about the Passport, for sure. I'd much prefer if a double tap could be implemented.
I find the Passport screen to be too sensitive sometimes (like pocket waking), and not sensitive enough at others. For instance, I often can't wake it at all with the swipe (though it is always with this setting on).
I also have the problem of the finger taps not being precise enough. For instance, when trying to click small links on a web page. It just won't click where I want it to. The Passport screen just seems to be poorly calibrated for these things, especially at the top of the screen. Often email notifications at the top will not register my tapping to open them. And again--none of these problems with the Z30.
