Random apps opening when unlocked

Do you mean open as in they are shown in the recent apps list? If so that's normal even after a restart.

Obvious dumb newbie question, since I am one: do you have widgets for those apps on your home screen? If I have my unlock set to a simple swipe (which I do) I have on occasion, mistakenly touched one of those widgets and opened the app for it. I do that with my 1Weather fairly frequently.

I always get the Otterbox Defender to go with my phone while I'm ordering the phone. I won't be trying to lessen my screen sensitivity any because of that. I'll try your first suggestion. You're right too: I typically end my swipe still about the middle of the screen.
