|  Pre turning off by itself? After opening the slider for texting or making a phone call and closing the slider my Pre is completely powering down. Is this happening to anybody else?  Looks like I may be using my Best Buy warranty to replace it already....  |

   | you have 30 days to return it, without using your warranty. But Yes, My Pre is doing that as well, and it's ticking me off. It just turns itself off randomly whenever it wants. Not while I am doing something though. But shortly after I use it doing anything, it might turn itself off. |

| That happened to me too usually after closing the slider. I started suspecting the motion was causing the battery to become dislodged. But the solution posted above is fantastic! I inserted a sliver of cardstock as shown on the website. Let's see if this will work. Thanks Catallah! |

| This started happening to me. I tried the solution of putting the paper up top, and it just made a bad problem worse. So I exchanged the battery for one that fit in much more snug. Problem came back 1 day later. I should have my replacement Pre today. I recommend all of you exchange it as well. No reason to have a bad phone after 2 weeks. |

| yeah.. my pre likes to turn off when its in my pocket. At first i thought i was pressing the power button.. but my pants pockets are pretty baggy and roomy.. i wonder if the batter is being shook loose. I'm calling in for a replacement today. |
