Motorola V710
Side buttons and carrying in pocket?
Got a v710 with Alltel based on research regarding signal strength and coverag in NC. I'm impressed with the ignal strength and coverage so far.
A couple of times I have left the house with level 6 battery and discovered a low battery by afternoon without having used the phone at all. I carry the phone in my pocket and I think that the side buttons are getting depressed, activating the backlight/screen and draining the battery. Finding my ring profile changed and some all black pictures support this theory 🙂
Locking the phone doesn't seem to deactivate the side buttons with regard to the screen/backlight. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?
thanx!

Well, carrying it in your side pocket is pressing buttons: Try a case for the phone like the VZW leather case or maybe even a body glove. I never have problems with my v710 pressing buttons on me, but then again I don't wear tight Wrangler jeans either 🤣 But then again, when the phone is in my pocket on vibrate I never feel it either 😡

If you hitting the side button and activation the screen or changing the ringer settings, you can lock just the side buttons instead of the whole phone. This works very well and prevents the problem you are having.
