Ok, my Droid2 is a little over a year and a half old. My 2 year contract is up in October.
Yesterday, my phone was really screwing up. The touch screen was spazzing out. Scrolls were all over the place, the screen was clicking in random spots on it's own which opened up apps left and right. It was darn near impossible to navigate and use.
I was able to back the phone up and get to settings and do a factory restore...and I wiped the sd card as well for good measure.
Since then, the phone has behaved a little better. Scrolling is smooth and not sporadic, but there are stills some serious issues.
- The home button sporadically works...and it's rare when it does work. I'm not even getting the haptic feedback on the soft home button like I do with the soft return and menu keys.
- Certain soft keys on the keyboard in a certain area don't work, and it's not that they just don't work, but when I try to click 'e' in portrait mode for example, it will select the key next to it...same thing with 'r'...it will select 't' instead. When I try to click 'd' it hits 's' or 'f'. The keys that are effected change when in landscape mode. So it seems to be a spot on the touch screen that is wonky.
I'm going to take it in to the Verizon store over lunch today and see what they have to say. If it can't be fixed, I may have to get a new phone. I am about due for one anyway. But I really like the D2 and if this can be fixed, I'd like to keep it for a while longer.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
