Razr is possessed

for the past few weeks both of our RAZRs have become possessed. Random calling people, trying to merge a call with a random contact it dials, unlock it and the screen is black except for the status bar..... trying to send a text it adds or deletes letters as it sees fit. Any ideas? Motoroloa said I could RMA it to them but cant be without my phone.

I have ran 4 different anti virus programs 3 different times - all came back clean. Also hooked to my pc and scanned from there - clean. I have removed all added apps and programs. Still didnt help.

What does FDR mean ? I think Im going to my local VW store and getting it exchanged or replaced. If I go to a different phone - any suggestions ?

I'm thinking I'd like to get one of these Razrs, but all these Body Snatcher stories I'm reading in the forums and product reviews scare me.

FDR stands for Factory Data Reset. I have the Razr Maxx with no problems and absolutely love it 😄

  They will probably want you to do a "Factory Reset" before they replace the phone with a "Certified Like New" RAZR MAXX. Backup your contacts and things before you do that, because it will make your phone be like you just pulled it out of the box, and you will need to set it all up again.

+1  And usually at the Stores if a Rep can't get the issue to Recur that the Customer is reporting about they won't replace the Phone i have seen this happen more than once while i was in the store.. And it has happened to me Twice since being with the Company Alltel & Verizon..
