Ya know, I just don't ever seem to get tired of being baffled by the ol' "lock button blues"!

I almost did a hard reset today because my screen wouldn't respond.

About once every 6 months that darn lock button that I NEVER use gets bumped to the lock position... do I remember it's there and check it first? OF COURSE NOT!

Oh brother... I hate to wonder how many more times that thing is gonna get me! :rolling:

Thanks for letting me rant a little, it's therapeutic!

They should put a little message at the top or bottom of the screen to remind you that your screen is locked.

... or at least tell you to check that the lock button is disengaged when you do a hard reset.

A few days ago, I was in the kitchen and I heard this little voice (20 month old) say "crack you butt! crack you butt" I looked at my son and he was holding my axim and repeating "crack you butt" Apparently I said "I'm gonna crack your butt!" to him last time he got ahold of it (in jest people, in jest!)

The moral of this story, if you have small children, use your lock button & watch what you say!!!!

I keep my X51V in my front pants, slacks, jeans, shorts pocket. I always have my lock button in the lock position and their are times I forget I did that. For me its just a senior moment! LOL

I use my lock button quite frequently. That is 1 of the first things i check when my AX "stops working."

AND Yes, I have a small child. A 6 year old boy, who is all boy.

Always use the lock button also but, check it, turn on, before using the Ax.

I like the thread, Lock Button Blues. Perhaps someone could write a tune and a few lines! Would be nice to listen too, if well written, once 'n awhile 'specially
after getting stung!

I don't get y that's such an issue for u guys,I never had that problem,not even when I first got the axim.

i've come close to a hard reset a couple of times for the same reason :)

i never use the lock button. no need w/ a rhino skin.

I'm suprised it even lets you do a reset with the lock engaged. I thought the function of the lock switch was to disable all the buttons and would have thought that included the reset button.

I never use the lock either and have never (only owned it for a few months) had a problem with it slipping to the locked position.

Kids are like parrots, and will remember and repeat the absolutely worst things you say. Do they listen when they say "eat your veggies?" Hardly. "Don't put the scissors into the open outlet" passes in one ear and out the other. But you drop something heavy on your toe, and they are like a tiny little pornographic answering machine and can duplicate each syllable with crystal clarity.

Incidentally, I use my lock button so frequently lately because of listening to music, that I don't panic for one second anymore.

I disengage the lock button everytime I pick up the Axim, reguardless of its locked status
