Help! Someone is Controlling my Phone!

[marii]

Phone Facts:
Droid 2
Rooted using Z Root in January
Sent as a Verizon Replacement December 15th 2010 (Went through 3 Motorola Devours...)


Today, as I was trying to send a text, the Swype started acting crazy and started inputting random letters. Then I stopped touching my phone and the phone started resending old texts, swiping home pages, opened and closed apps and started to want to delete my Dialer. (This is when I paniked big time) It was like someone had remote access (which I bet this is what it is) to the phone, because I was fighting them just to reset the phone. I reset it 3 times tonight and even when the phone was factory clean and on airplane mode, the phone started opening settings and random apps. I just got frustrated and took the battery out and so it's dead now. I took the sd card out and it still acted like this. I even didn't sign in my Google Accounts after reactivating the phone and it still acted crazy. I'm at my wit's end and I don't know what to do!


Additional Symptoms

• I had the phone off for an hour, battery and SD out. When I turned it back on and put the SD in, The date was December 31st 1969. at 7:00PM (actual time was 6:24pm)
• Phone makes calls, just trying to get to the Contacts is an impossible challenge.
• Phone was fine after the 3rd reset for 3 hours then started acting up.
• My friend suspects it to be the "Sms Gmail Notifier" app I downloaded Sunday.

This happens occasionally due to damaged screens or use of non standard chargers. Do you happen to be using an old charger? If the problem persists I would unroot it and bring it back to Verizon.

:unsure: I use my Kindle charger because it's longer than my moto charger. It's been fine this whole time... The phone is basically useless now, So I should just return it? (i.e. No possible fix?)

Have you tried flashing sbf thru rsd 4.9? It seems like if this isnt a rogue insane app it might be your touchscreen hardware is totally ****ed.

Well I would personally try nixing that charger, like I said I hear about it every once in a while especially with blackberry chargers, but some users including a friend of mine use their bb chargers all the time with no issue so its a little random. Pull the battery and leave it out for a while. Then reboot the phone and see if its still acting up. If it is then do a factory reset to eliminate any apps that may be causing/contributing to the problem. If its still acting up then unroot it and bring it back.

Honestly, no I haven't. I've been out all day and just got home so all I was doing was wiping the phone via settings menu.

Cheers mate, and good luck to ya. I hope this is not a faulted hardware issue, and if it is that you can fully remove all trace of root before a vzw tech looks at it.
