Help Massive failure of my Note 2 tonight

Anyone want to talk about being bummed out.

It started earlier today, I noticed I had two empty home screens so I tried discarding them and when I dragged them to the trash the screen froze up and then went black followed by a pop up that said something like "unfortunately touch wiz has stopped working, try again". After a few more tries I decided to do a hard reset, after setting everything up all over again it happened again so I did another hard reset this time I reinstalled every app individually and checked in between each app install. It seemed to have worked, I was happy. Minutes later I grabbed the Note 2 to text my sister and when I pressed the home button ALL my apps were gone and the phone was completely factory reset apparently doing this on it's own in the few minutes I had set it aside.

Now....It won't even turn on, it is dead dead dead, I removed the battery, tried plugging it in, you name it. Here is the best part, my 30 days are gone, the phone is mine, can't return it.

Ideas?

Thanks:thinking::(
 
So what did they say? Did BB replace it?

Hi all,
So i went into Best Buy and started to tell the guy what the Note did and he showed me 4 opened boxes in the cabinet that were returned within the past few days that he thinks were all exhibiting the same issues. I was going to get another one but all he had was one white Note, mine is grey. There was another Best Buy about 10 miles from me that had one but I decided....rolling my eyes to try another Optimus G:eek: I know I know. I'm going to give the LG a day or so as I already see another overheating LG here. I loved the Note 2 except for it's size, it was love and hate at the same time. If the LG fails I'll go back to the Note.

Is anyone else seeing Touch Wiz crashing and all apps disappearing ?
