    not just Thrive

    it appears to be a pretty common Android phone issue as well... for instance the Dream/Magic and G2 devices from HTC all exhibit the same (random) behaviour.

    So far, at least, I've not seem my Windows Phone (HD7) also from HTC have the same behaviour so I'm guessing it's an Android specific issue

    Possibly due to lock switch

    The only times my Thrive has done this was when the lock switch was in the "locked" position. Since there was no owners or users manual in the box I only figured out that it was in the locked position after a few days of use.

    Not good to have a brand spankin' new device with absolutely no documentation on how to use it, Toshiba! Bad form indeed.
