Is there any sort of button-lock to prevent accidental button presses while it's jostling around in your pocket?

YES there is a button-lock switch. I have both the original DT-180 model from a few years ago and the type/version II model that is currently being sold and they both have a lockout switch on the back of the unit. All buttons are locked - power, volume, channel, etc. When activated there is a 'key' icon in the display to let you know that the lock is on which will also blink when a button is pushed to remind you of the lock.

No. Never had a problem with this. It does have a shut off after 45 minutes. We like the radio, love the size.Easy to operate in the dark while in the tent.

There is a lock switch on the upper right side edge. "The LOCK SWITCH has two positions: If moved to the "up" position, then the CC Witness will be locked and all buttons will be disabled. This feature is used to prevent buttons from being accidentally pressed during travel or storage. If a button is pressed while locked, the time and date will be displayed, along with the: Lock Switch ON" message.

No, but the button is flush with the screen. It is hard to accidentally push.

You can also keep the "Power" button pressed and it will change the setting. That should keep it from wearing it out. (hopefully)

There is a feature for pressing 1 x or 2 x for locking....But not NO times....That is all I got!

You can set it up so that the keyboard locks automatically, which I've done, & haven't had any problems with pocket dialing.

Yes. You press the button down and slide the lock up to keep the button pressed.

Clipping to the outer area of the pocket would be helpful as the white arrowed 2 buttons control the amount of time set & the lower black button is on / off. These could more easily be moved IF inside a pocket due to body movement 7 cloth friction especially IF at the waist or lower extremities. Being in the pocket would be awkward for on / of access.

Mine locks after pressing down automatically. You must have a faulty one :(

No not at all. That's because they don't lock it. All you have to do is click the top button once after you select what you want and the screen will shut off. The music still plays but it won't get messed with in your pocket. If you hold the button down it'll shut it off completely.

No, The only way to prevent pocket dialing is to lock your keys. Look for a button with a lock on it, pressvit for 3 seconds, it will lock the keys. To unlock, follow the on screen directions.

Yes. But it's sensitive to your pushing the button so if it's done carelessly it will move it away from where it was last.

Deactivates the other buttons so they don't get activated accidentally when you pick up the device, or are carrying it in a bag with other things.

You need to hold the button. Seems not quite convenient, but I think much safer.

I was having the having the same problem when I first got my case. What I did was cut slits in the rubber on the two long sides of the button , so that rubber button has more room and freedom to move. Worked for me

Well that is if the button doesn't get pushed accidentally in the purse, which has happened to me on several occasions leaving me with no charge left. I would suggest getting a case for it or something, otherwise charge it every night just in case it turns on on it's own

You have to hold the button down for a bit. The accidental bump is not long enough.

Nope - one press keeps it running until you turn it off (by pressing again).
