Volume (by 7 users)
My master control volume keeps being turned off. If you accidentally press the buttons on the side of the phone while carrying it, the ringer volume will be turned off.

i have the same problem but i found a solution for mine.i see where one of you wrote lock your phone and that doesnt work. i actually have a case i keep mine in but i turn the phone around backwards in it so the face is facing my hip. i have a simple heavy duty cloth case with velcro but im sure any case would work. it took me 36 hours and about 15-20 times of my phone going to silent to firgure this out. hope it works well for yall too, good luck

The best solution I've found is to lock the phone. I can still receive calls without unlocking it and can make calls to 3 numbers on my emergency list(plus 911). I completely agree there should be a software solution to this problem.

That problem (stoopid external buttons turning
off the ringer accidentally, even in a holster)
has been driving me crazy since i got the phone.
Even worse, there is no obvious menu item
that corrects it.
A few days ago I discovered the phone was
silent and I was missing calls... I went through
the whole infuriating menu tree about games and
Web surfing etc. I didn't have my printed manual
(I was in the de Young Museum in GG Park)
and why the hell should I need it anyway?
I want a copy of the manual in machine readible
form (editable, NOT a .PDF file locked up) so I
can make a cheat sheet.
Has anyone scanned the manual or found
one anywhere?

yep... this is annoying. those stupid buttons are so sensitive i can hear the phone beep as they are being pressed with nearly every single step i take. this is equally as annoying as the speaker phone button (which is not even a centimeter from the other one on the face of the phone) that i hit mid conversation nearly every time I use it.
I always said phone companies would never make a phone capable of withstanding abuse because they make so much money from mid-contract retail purchases. Now that they have it's real convenient that this now makes my nearly-indestructible phone the most annoying part of my day.

Snap - same problem. Really annoying as I bought a more rugged phone exactly because I have my phone in my pocket all the time where it gets dirty and kinda bashed.
ApprenticeI used a small diamond file to file off the extruded portion of the buttons. I think a dremel tool would have worked best to get a nice recessed finish, but filing it smooth works also.
This helped me significantly. I can still use the side buttons when I want to, and it doesnt get pressed in my pocket.
(I wish there was a better software solution)

Same problem. If the phone is in my pocket or carrying case, and I lean or bend causing the buttons to be depressed, the master volume is turned off and I end up missing calls.
If there was a way to turn off the exterior buttons, then I think this problem would be resolved.
