I am suggesting a way to get around this SERIOUS problem. You dont understand. NOT my problem. akd: I am also curious to see how common is this problem. You think you can set up a poll to ask for people to cast a vote that they NEVER have this power-On problem, i.e., their device come on ANYTIME they hit the power button or however they hit it, ever since they own the device. If the vote is more than a couple of hundreds, then I will say the power on enigma is really a small batch of unlucky tablet owners. Mine is about 50-50, so it is VERY frequent. And it happens more during the end of the day. Now, I bypass the problem by NOT turning it off, just reboot if the tablet mess up or if I have to switch to different OS. I do not have to 'fear' this problem for over 36 hrs and for the first time, I am leaving the charger in the house. Yup. bun
