hmmm, on so many levels, it does not sound to me like this person has ever even touched a Droid...

 

I have the Droid's European brother, the Milestone. I have never seen this happening at all. The behavior that you're describing does suggest a virus/trojan of some sort so I'd suggest you load an antivirus program and check it. You might also want to try putting in a new microSD and running it a couple of days just to see if this continues to happen. If it is a virus though, your card wouldn't be the problem -- the problem would be in one of your applications so you might want to check those too.

 

The micro sd memory card does not store your contacts, those are saved in gmail, but I suppose it's possible that your personal files have a virus. You should remove your card, do a master reset and use a new micro sd card for a while. Only download apps from the android market. I find it hard to believe that Verizon would give you a new phone the first time without having tried a master reset, or at least running the phone in safe mode.

 

It sounds a little strange to me and I've worked for wireless phone carriers in the past. I sometimes wonder with Android Apps how easy it is to get an app published. If it's still doing this with a new phone I would visit a VZW store. Do a search on Google and see if others have had this issue.

i think you should set up a camera and video tape it at night and see what its really doing. then post vid up here and WIN. j/k but seriously thats just creepy man.

 

i agree, i think either the phone is possessed or someone is using the phone without your knowledge. i dont see how the phone can pull up your contacts and then activate the call button also. sound like a job for the ghost busters

 

This has happened to quite a few people. I don't remember which thread the forum was on. Probably one of the other ones.

 

Do you sleepwalk?

 

Who you gonna call?


C'mon, someone had to make the comment.

 

Ok, so the antivirus apps didn't turn anything up, have you changed out the SD card yet?

 

Ghost Busters!

had to do it

 

You are not alone. My 1st Droid Eris ghost dialed over 50 times. It actually re-dialed the Verizon store rep after he called me in-store to test it. I would be holding the phone and sure enough it would call out several times. I thought maybe I had touched it. This occurred before I started downloading Apps from the approved Market. Or at least I don't think I had downloaded any Apps prior to the problem.

I had a $1300+ phone bill when I normally have $200 for unlimited everything. What upset me is that I also had some other issues that were involved and so I was confused on how much overage was due to ghost dialing. I am not a NOOB but my face was red when I discovered I just ghost called my ex-fiancee and left a 40 minute eavesdrop while talking with my current girlfriend in the car.

I have returned the phone and now I just found out I may have just ghost called on this phone. I will try the virus thinggy if I can find a good one.

Let me know solutions Droid fans. I still love the phone and the sync with google apps is to Die for (and be ghost dailing forever).
