Pocket Dialing/Ass Dialing with these "smart" phones
    #14493031 - 05/22/11 08:17 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Is there a way to not do this?  I've gotten calls from people that accidently call me, and I have been guilty a couple times. 

But talk about some shitty luck...

dunno, has never happened to me with a simple slide unlock gesture, but you can easily add a lock screen pattern, pin #, or password to my phone... which would make it highly unlikely to ass dial.

Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

My first name is Adam and it fucking sucks.  I'm first in so many fucking contact lists that I get called all the time.  It seriously happens so much I have my iPhone set to silent except for a select group of people and my alarm clock. 

There have been quite a few times though that I've heard minutes of conversations. :lol:  Most of the time it's just pocket noise.  My boss at the bar I used to tend had a stroke and that guy called me every other fucking day, sometimes more than once.  Eventually I had to block his number.

I used to pocket dial all the time. I just put a password on my phone so I can't but dial unless I unlock it.

passwords, I always forget them for some reason!  I think it's kind of like hiding your smoke from yourself, and then rediscovering it later down the road..yeah you feel stupid for a half a second, but sweeeeeeeeeeet if you find it.

I added a contact to my phone as AAA111 and set it to my voice mail to combat that.

I need to upgrade my phone.
