My Phone Is Possesed!!!!!!!

**thasco** · 09-30-2012, 03:51 PM

My phone seems to have a mind if its own. It opens apps and makes calls on its own. Ive tried to restart, new battery and charger. I is so annoying when i try to type a text or anything for that matter cuz it selects letters i don't want at a very fast pace. Here is an example: ( I likeeeeeeeeeeeegggghhhjjjej way)Its makin me hate my phone. Does anyone else have this problem or know whats wrong and how to fix? Thank You In Advance, Excelsior#52

Try resetting to factory settings.

My phone has been doing the same thing. I have reset it three times and nothings has changed its behavior.

Sadly I have no idea then. My phone has never done any of that before.

My phone was working just find, until it was updated to ICS.

This same thing started happening right after the upgrade to ICS. I read somewhere on another forum that this may occur by using a low voltage charger, but I have a hard time understanding how a charger would screw up the O/S.

Anyway, I did a factory reset and it was ok for a while, but now it's all but unusable. I going to do another reset and see if there's an app that I'm using that may be causing this.

But if someone can give me another suggestion I would appreciate it. Thanks

P.S. I'd also be open to going back to G-bread if there was an easy way to do that.

This happened well before the ICS upgrade to lots of people. It's a hardware fault with the screen and the screen needs to be repaired. I've had mine repaired previously and now it seems to be acting up again. They didn't give me a hard time at the Sprint store when I needed to replace it. Just take it in, tell them what's happening (luckily my phone was doing it while the guy was looking at it) and they said come back in an hour, we'll replace the screen.
