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.

It kinda sounds like a problem with the hardware keyboard.

First, have you tried hard resetting/clear storage? If not do that first.

The only way to be sure this is a hardware problem is flash the shipped rom back on and test it and if the problem persists you have a hardware problem.

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 ?

@gTen is he banned?

@smokeahontis unique name by the way, but anyway like the others have said it sounds like a hardware issue with the keyboard to me. I would suggest putting the stock rom back on it and taking it into sprint to have it looked at/replaced.
