Ive tried that, im going to open it up and pull it to bits, there must be a problem with the slider sensor, when i open the slider the phone is not unlocked. I.E. it is still locked. I no this as well because when typing a text with the keyboard the first letter remains small, rather then auto caps.
In another thread ive read someone said a magnet fell out. i think that maybe the cause of my defect. id like to know what this magnet looks like if anyone has a picture, please show it.
