Hi all sailors,

Tried searching for similar issue, but couldn't find one, so to make long story short:

I went jogging as usual, had Jolla in my pocket as usual. Got a MitaKuuluu (whatsapp) message from my sister that she received 10 sms messages from me that made no sense, and also like 400 pages long whatsapp message in MitaKuuluu.

First I was like what the h*ll?

Then I read the messages and browsed through the message in MitaKuuluu... and then I laughed for like 2 kilometres.

Somehow while I was jogging, my Jolla in my pocket had sent my sister 10 sms messages full of characters in one minute, and on that same minute my Jolla had sent my sister that terribly long message through MitaKuuluu.

What made it even more weird was that the message in MitaKuuluu was combination of conversations that I have had with several other people on MitaKuuluu.

Has this happened to anyone else with their Jolla?

Can it be that the phone went mad and unlocked itself in my pocket while I ran like Forrest Gump (obviously it did go mad, but how - since I'm pretty sure it was locked, and how could there be parts of so many conversations in one message, can it be a bug, or was Jolla just trying to make me talk to my sister more often)?

(And what made me laugh so much on the way home was that the message in MitaKuuluu partly made sense, since it was combination of conversations I have had in MitaKuuluu with several other people all in one message... And last night I chatted with a colleague about barbeque since he was warming up his grill, and today I chatted with couple of friends about a girl walking her dog... and somehow Jolla had combined the barbeque conversation with the dog conversation and some other messages and sent my sister a message about throwing a dog on the grill in the morning in Amsterdam... (not that funny if you think that if there would have been something more disturbing and the receiver would have been my boss or some other relative than my sister))

I only had the SMS bits. I suspected that it's related to restarts at the time, since it was in the middle of a restart-heavy period, and I think the phone boots up unlocked. Didn't happen since then though.

I experienced similar problems after a reboot: SMS have been sent on at least two occasions I know of. It was an exact copy of an already sent one. On another occasion a call has been initiated. Firmware is 1.0.8.19.

I had this issue often until I shortened the time until you need the unlock-code to five minutes. For me it happened usually when I sweat a lot and the phone was in my pocket.

this might be a workaround. but i believe the proximity sensor should prevent the phone from unlocking inside your pocket..!? but this guy seems to have some issues - it is acting weird on phone calls too..

The proximity sensor only disables the double tap to unlock. But you always can unlock the device with the button. And after that the phone unfortunatly reacts the way described. I have accidentaly sent a lot of SMSs with rubish content and parts from my shoppinglist and parts of different sentences from other apps. After made the settings like discribed i haven't had any problems anymore.
