I don't know if anyone else has this problem but I've started experiencing this after the PR1.1 update.

The phone app would randomly launch. It seems completely random when this would happen. When it happens, the phone app is not in the background and I'd be in conversations or web browser or even just the desktop and all of a sudden the phone app launches.

Also I'm having issues with the phone app's orientation. Alot of the time the phone app would orientate itself the wrong way and after doing some operation on it it would re-orientate the right way.

Anyone else having this problem? Although not a major issue, it's very annoying...

Within the top drop-down menu in the phone app, select turning control. What is the state of "Launch by turning"? From this screen you should also be able to toggle forced portrait mode.

it is in forced portrait mode... and it still randomly goes to landscape

has anyone also noticed that even if forced portrait mode is on, you slide open the keyboard and it goes to landscape?

more importantly... it's the random phone launch that's driving me nuts...

Any chance you are holding camera button half pressed for second or two ? I noticed this launches the phone and is very easy to do at any time since the button has very light touch.

at first: tell me how are you going to use your device in portrait mode when kb is out?

imo that is a great feature.

I have the camkey installed, which let me see the running programms when i press it, does it also launch the phone also? but i just tried, half-pressing it for a few seconds doesn't launch the phone app...

also i'm not saying auto-landscape is bad, that's what i want too

launch by turning is set to on... although it seems to make no difference what i set it to

isn't camkeyd an app that was included to shortkeyd? I suggest you remove it and see for a while does the random phone launches disappear.
