Ok, in all seriousness my phone has gone HAM over the last 2 days and I havent the slightest clue why. Forgive me if there is a thread about what I'm bout to describe already, but:

My phone randomly goes to the dialer menu and places calls by itself. Or sometimes if I'm in my messages, it'll just keep typing the letter gggggggggggg by itself, then it'll stop. One time it pressed the g, the l k j letters by it self too.
My phone did not get wet, nor did it fall or anything. This behavior just started 2 days ago.

Also let me add that I have a tp2, with froyo07 on it. BUT...it also exhibits strange behavior on the WinMo side too. Like it used to keep pressing the voice dialing thing all the time until I disabled that in WinMo, but it's still occasionally press some undesired keys.

Does anyone have any clue as to what might be causing this. I just want both sides to be back to normal like it was. Oh yeah and I notice that when I load droid, it takes longer than before and also soon as it comes on its saying that i need to force close or wait the activity finder or something like that, because it stopped responding. WTF happened to this genius genius setup i used to have. Please help a sista out!!!!

Thanks in advance.

Gone HAM, LOL. Horndoctor is right. That sounds like a hardware issue. Probably the ribbon cable is shorting on something. Unfortunately, I don't think a hard reset will fix it.

Like everyone else said , i would first flash back to stock ROM and eliminate all software ends of the problem . If you have insurance , just take it back to the store . If as you say , you didnt get any moisture damage , then they have to replace it free of charge . If not , they might try to fix it , but it sounds like the hardware keyboard and buttons on the front screen are on the fritz . my brothers phone did this when he decided to go swimming with it ^^ . But anyhow , about how old is the device ?

I would try flashing the shipped Rom as stated by the others, at least you would know what you are dealing with! If you are still having problems after flashing a shipped Rom, you are having a hardware issue. Keep us posted!

Lmao...I'm tryna learn here, but what is a shipped rom exactly? What I mean is which side should I do since I run Droid on a WinMo phone?? Im so confuzzled lol....HELP!

Ah, okay. Sorry!! Is your device branded Sprint? Or? A shipped Rom is the the original Rom that came with your device. It will be the stock windows mobile.

ok guys, Winmo is fine nothing has happened since my last post. BUT the droid side....its kinda worse now. Its like as soon as that loads the gggggggggg starts up again. I scanned it for viruses and the scan came back negative.
So now in my message screen, no matter how im holding the phone it stays on the sideways view (the long way). I have tried re-calibrating the screen but nothing changed as far as the g key. I wonder if that app I deleted had something to do with it

oh and no my g key isnt stuck...i wonder if something could be wrong with the on screen keyboard or something...I just have sooooo many questions about what it could be I feel like crying....this sucks right now
