First I started having problems when trying to text. The screen would get all jumpy and then would go back and forth between older texts, I would have to exit and re-enter to type a few more characters, and continue the cycle until I got the text sent.
Then the phone became possessed and will do things on its own, it will open up applications, jump from application to application and then start typing.
not covered for failure, but ins will cover for liquid damage...... anyone know if this is covered? ...
I have a brand new Droid 4, less than a week old, it is behaving the same way. It called our daughter all by itself. Every morning there is something random on the screen. Yesterday it was texting gobblygook. Today it was google searching gooblygook. It also gets hung up at times and will not respond to any keyboard input.
same problem as OP's, one question though.
would a Droid 2 digitizer work the same as an R2D2 digitizer?
they look the same but the R2D2 one is like twice the price, and i have an R2D2 phone.
that is, if the problem does in fact lie in the digitizer, which is so far what i've gathered.
A955 and A957 are 100% compatible in terms of both hardware and software.
A956's hardware is different.
that's bad news. I just got a D4 after the screen on my D2 did the same thing on & off for months, then finally failed last week. I will be quicker to ask for warranty service on the D4.
I've been bad & been away from this forum for too long...missed the report on changes that meant I'd lose unlimited data by getting a new phone.
It made sense to upgrade to the D4 instead of replacing via insurance, since I'd read a lot of comments on the same D2 screen failures.
Can anyone tell me if there's a way to get anything out of the dead D2? The screen is lit but is now completely unresponsive. Camera & sticky notes data...
Thanks all,
Laurie
eta....comments on Credo's service? ready to consider other plans for when my newly renewed contract runs out.
What.the D2 (A955), D2 Global (A956) and D2 R2-D2 Edition (A957) use the same digitizer component and LCD screen.

This forum has quite a few threads on how A956's digitizer's flex cable is different from A955/A957.
