Droid 2 going crazy

my droid 2 has been acting weird lately, freezinf alot, cant click on anything and the screen pressing buttons on its own, gettin kinda mad.

so i deteled a few recent apps i downloaded, pulled the battery. rebooted and seemed to be working fine again, i was a bit relieved.

so today, a few days after, it started acting weird again, freezing, pressing apps on its own (ghoshing i think its referred to as), and shaking back and forwth between screens, so im like ugh and kinda mad again. i havent downloaded any new apps since i deleted the other ones.

so im kinda curious what could cause these problems? im not rooted, i dont have any custom roms installed

from what i tried to look up, i saw that a dirty/greasy screen could be a cause of the screen acting weird and pressing buttons on its own, is that a possible reason for the problems?

or what else it could be?

thanks

I hate too ask the obvious, but you dont have any viruses do you?

i hope i dont have a virus, i scan with lookout and nothing even comes up, always says everything is fine

Have you tried, a hard reset?

Sounds a lot like Malware. This had happened to my Droid before. You probably contracted a virus.Kid-Atari

I wish you would stop giving terrible "advice". Get lost.

btw, I notice you haven't posted in the iOS section much lately. Whats wrong, nothing to talk about since you can't make troll topics anymore?

OP: Back up everything with Astro backup, you don't need root. YOU WILL LOSE YOUR APPLICATION DATA IF YOU DO THIS.

Wipe the phone completely, back to factory settings. Reinstall astro, do not restore all your apps, just what you need for daily use for a few days, preferably the amount of time it took for the phone to start acting up between the first and second time. If the phone starts acting up again, there is something wrong with the phone. If not, restore all the apps. If it goes haywire again, you have a rogue app.

Alternately, if you still have a warranty, just...get a new one

You know, I was going to post a long thing explaining why I think you are a laughable person.

Instead, I'm just going to remind you that your entire, well deserved reputation of being an anti-android enthusiast here on these forums is working against you.

Also keep in mind that this is an optional method that can help diagnose the problems that do not exist on certain other mobile OS'. If your device dies, it dies.

Now if you will excuse me, there is pizzat hat requires my attention
