Outgoing calls: Weird

[P7M8]

During the night, in addition to downloading an unknown application my Droid made three phone calls on its own. One was almost 2 minutes in length and two were only a few seconds. Two of them were to the same person on my contact list while one was to a toll free number not in my contacts.

Anyone know what the hell is going on here?

What apps have you downloaded exactly?

Nah, if I had CNN or MSNBC I could narrow it down.

Nah, if I had CNN or MSNBC I could narrow it down.

Those would also be likely culprits, yes

that is so weird. especially after sifting through actual comments on the other thread.

VERY WEIRD! Hope mine doesn't do this... I now fear the Droid.

Just wondering, have you set up your Google Voice?

Go through your Applications and check their permissions... (Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> Click on app to check -> scroll to permissions)

See if you can see which apps have permission that might allow that app to place a call (i.e. Services that cost you money - directly call phone numbers)

That is odd. Maybe the phone is calling this app: Video Babes
