Thread: Weird problem with the Storm 9530

hey all,

i dunno if anyone else is experiencing this, so i decided to make a thread about it. I have the verizon latest released update, and the BeDroid theme. what will happen is late at night my phone will start to "control" itself. by this I mean it starts to auto select options on my phone, open apps, open contacts, and edit them even. I don't understand why this is happening, and it isnt a constant thing. It's almost like someone remote accesses my phone somehow. I just leave my battery out for a while and when I put it back in it's fine for most of the time. I have tried other themes, seems to happen with my Blak-N-Orange theme too.

Any ideas?

What apps do you have installed?

Google sync, ubertwitter, pattern lock, google maps, facebook, berrybuzz, quickpull, vlingo, vibe n ring, app world, google voice. i think thats it.

creepy! o_O

have you tried doing a security wipe from the phone, and then restoring apps one by one so you can see if there is an app causing this?

Hi,
If it helps you to narrow down this anomaly, I have had this happen to me as well mfg: My installed apps are as follows: Google Maps, Quickpull, AppWorld, Slacker, Pandora, YouMail, and Radio-On. What I noticed was, on my home screen, ALL of the apps ran automatically... i.e. opened, cycled through default screens, then closed, this then happened to the next app on the home screen, (in reverse order) until all had cycled, then looped continuously until I did a BP. I actually let this run through a few complete cycles, just to see what was happening When this occurred, (OS 'Shrunk' 5.0.0.328) I was doing a 'Quick-Pull' and missed the default context menu "Reboot Now / Cancel" I then hit escape and closed Quick Pull. (Not to point the 'Finger of Blame' but it WAS coincidental) I have done a security wipe, and reloaded my 'shrunk' 5.0.0.328. I Have not been able to duplicate this yet, but if I do, I'll be sure to post back with more observations. Oh yes, I have since run Quick Pull with no issues, my 5.0-OS has had no changes made to my 'Shrink', and, App Memory is, at lowest 34 MB.

i haven't tried a security wipe but that seems like a good idea to me. yeah, it was freaking me out a bit but hasn't happened in a while. oh yeah, and my QuickPull isn't working right still, it's annoying.
