Help Motorola Atrix problems.

[Spleak]

Alright, so I've had my Atrix for about 2 months maybe and all of a sudden my text messages have been messing up, I'll be typing something and when I hit space or a special character ":, ;, ), . Etc.) the on screen keyboard will just disappear, now it's not that big a problem but it is VERY annoying.

Also, sometimes my Atrix will control itself (What?) it'll flick through homescreens by itself, or sometimes when I'm in the middle of a text it'll just continuously spam a letter EG: Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss (etc) And I have no control over the phone until I put it to sleep. Once again, not a big problem but it is VERY annoying.

Touch screens can be very picky. This sounds like there is something causing a problem with the touch screen and making it miss-register the input.

-Do you have a screen protector on the phone? If so, take it off and see if the problem persists. If it goes away, then that screen protector was bad and you just need to use a different one.

-Have you cleaned the screen? If so, with what? If you don't clean the screen, skin oils build up. This messes with the input. However, you should use caution when cleaning it. A dry, clean, microfiber cloth is the best thing for day to day wipe downs. But, that does not remove that oily film. The safest and best thing to use: "Eyeglass/Screen Cleaning Wipes." I usually go to the vision center in Wal-Mart and get a box of their 100 lens wipes (Alcohol based) for $3 and wipe my phone and tablet down a couple of times a week with them.
