Re: Meizu MX4 OT11 - continual pocket dial

 

No, Andrea, I don't get the double-tap "feature".

Perhaps it is just that the on-off button (at the top) is in a position
which is more prone to be pressed accidentally than on other devices I have
had in the past?   Many of my devices have had that on the side, rather
than the top, and the phone will naturally align itself up-and-down in my
pocket.

Perhaps I just need to be careful to ensure it is pointed UPWARDS in my
pocket to avoid this? :-)

Anyway - just wanted to share, in case others were seeing this too, and if
there was anything to be fixed.   I'm not sure that there is, if it's just
a physical design consequence.    Just something I have never experienced
before with other devices.

Best wishes.
