Droid x2 phone dial pad does not respond to touch on call

When on a call and asked to input numbers even to get to voicemail phone freezes and will not accept certain numbers like 1 (but it may take an 😎 or screen goes black or both. Cannot get my voicemail from this phone. Can call in to my cellphone number from another phone and stop message and then get the vm, but from the droid x2 cellphone it is impossible. Obviously very unsatisfractory. Anyone got a fix?

How old is the phone and WHEN did this start behaving this way?  Did you recently get the GB upgrade?

Android 2.3.4 is GB (Gingerbread).

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

As Ann pointed out, you are running GingerBread - the latest update. You don't remember clicking on "ALLOW UPDATE" and the process of installing it?

 

Anyway, so you've had this problem since DAY 1 of getting the phone?????  Too bad you didn't take it back immediately as they would have probably given you another phone .. but now you're pretty stuck with troubleshooting it or getting it swapped with a CPO.   If you contact verizon, they will like have you try booting in SAFE MODE 1st, just to rule out 3rd party APPs causing the issue. Then a Factory Reset.

Thank you Cody21. The instructions you gave are for Droid X not Droid X2. No problem. WIth Verizon's help I went through a factory reset. It did not fix the problem. I should be getting a replacement phone today. Very impressive service relative to most other electronics suppliers.

Can you tell me which of the procdures didn't apply to your DX2 ??  I don't have one to know that.  Glad you're at least getting some service from verizon.

Problem has dissipated after uninstalling several apps. It still happens, but not every time.

Most likely then it's one of your apps causing a conflict.
