Cell Phone Issues, Any Help Is Appreciated. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Here is a list of problems I'm having with my T-Mobile REVVL V

1. Phone will rotate at random or if watching videos on YouTube. This happens even if I set it to not rotate. I have watch videos and use the internet in the vertical mode, not horizontal.

2. Whenever I'm perusing a website such as S.O., the phone will suddenly and without warning go to the Google home page.

3. When a call comes in I have the option to answer or decline. If I tap answer it doesn't go to the call and the screen disappears. The phone still rings, but the call can no longer be found to answer it.

4. When I finish a conversation and disconnect the phone automatically calls the next person on my contact list.

5. Whenever I'm looking at my Facebook feed the videos start playing automatically even though I have set it to not do so.

6. The volume on the phone is automatically increased on Facebook and YouTube even if I have it turned down all the way. This is especially true if there's an advertisement.

Zoneboy, how new is the phone? most of your symptoms sound like a damaged touchscreen to me.

Not that I have a smartphone, but we used to have touch screens on public access terminals where I worked, and over time users would bang their fists onto the touch screens, that would induce micro cracks in the glass. Which in turn cause false triggering of the touch operability
Have you dropped or sat on the phone?
