7100T - "Sleeper" function no longer working

My BB 7100t worked fine until a couple weeks ago. Now the "sleeper" function (induced by the magnet in the holster) no longer works, which is a real inconvenience. Now anytime I have any pressure hitting the face of the phone, it starts dialing.

Are the magnets just really weak, or do they shift positions in the case?

Any advice?

You could lock your keyboard by holding down the * button. Not really a fix to your problem but will stop your phone from dialing every time you move around.

That's what I've been doing, but I really did like the sleeper function.

Both they are weak and they do shift, I have replaced the magnets with stronger ones that I have bought at an arts and crafts store, a bit larger, and stronger, and i slip the leather open with an exacto knofe, and super glue them in place, then i super glue the edge of the leather and it works like a charm.
