Pro 2 sending texts by itself

linzgeneral · #1 (**permalink**) 10-04-2009, 06:38 PM

I have just noticed a serious problem where my Pro 2 is sending text messages to random contacts at random times. I sat by my wife phone as she received 3 text messages while my phone was ten yard away from me. I just went into my sent text history and was shocked to see the amount of times this has happenned. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix? I have hard reset my phone at least 8 times in the month I have had it has been looking up a lot lately. Had to soft reset about 7 times in one day recently. Not blaming it on the phone though as I figure it might be conflicting hacks that I might have installed recently. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Do you lock your screen?

I dont lock my screen and it is sending blank messages. On another note I might have to take a poll on how often do our phones lock up. It seems I am averagin at least 5 soft resets a day now. The phone just locked up two minutes after a soft reset. This is becoming really annoying.

The only reason I ask about the screen lock was because my phone would make calls and browse through a bunch of menus because of the case and my pocket interacting with the touchscreen.

Thanks as I thought it might be a TP2 issue. Do you have a TP2 or do you still have the mogul? I noticed that the ones who are being randomly tested are the ones I text the most.

Is it just resending the same text messages from before or is it sending random stuff?

It is sending random empty messages. I know because people are responding there was nothing in that message.

I think you have a ghost in there. You need to put it between 2 iphones running iFart. That will scare em right out of there....
