I suspect that there is a software issue. I don't usually have any
trouble unlocking the touch screen and keys, but I have a devil of a
time unlocking the device with the numeric code if I shut it down
while locked. I think that may be related to the piece of crap
metalayer-crawler hogging 100% of the system resources for several
minutes on bootup. Whose brilliant idea was it to design that process
to run on startup with top priority, anyway? It should only run with a
very low priority and allow other processes to run first.
