Anyone having an issue where when you open the keyboard the phone just powers off and you have to reboot? It seems to happen more when I "flip" it open instead of gently sliding it but its also done it when sliding gently. Im trying to figure out if its hardware or some software. The only software I could think would do it would be pandahome but I dont wanna uninstall it and lose my setup.

Sounds like a hardware issue:(
Also, if it was panda home I would expect it to always happen when the keyboard changes the orientation (or whatever is happening).

Thank god someone else is having this issue. Ive been having this problem for 2 weeks now. Sometimes its not just the keyboard for me though, sometimes ill just leave it on the night stand and come back to it and it wont power on, i have to do a battery removal.

Then sometimes ill go to text someone, slide out the keyboard and it goes to a black screen... battery removed again..

Gonna take it back for a new one... if they can repeat it in store, which is lame...
