Phone hacked or remote access?

[tmettler5]

Okay...so my phone has been behaving strangely the last few days. Lots of ADW Launcher Pro force closes...the screens move by themselves (but only to the left), the unlock pattern tells me there have been too many wrong attempts, and to try again in 30 seconds. My phone is not rooted, by the way.

I am going to try to remember what apps I installed the last few days and try to uninstall some of them. Any other suggestions? Is it possible to hack a phone and gain remote access, or is there something that is causing some unstability, and I just need to figure out what it is. Has this happened to anyone else?

The mystery ghost screens could be a dirty Joystick. Try cleaning it off with a q-tip.

The crashes sound like a bad app or ATK.

I’ve had the ghost screen after eating chicken tenders or fries or something like that while in the car then touching the phone.

Good luck.

I uninstalled ATK, since that was a recent installation, and today ADW Launcher still force closes.

Back up your ADW setting then remove it from your phone and try adding it back and see if that helps.
