Touchscreen weirdness

Greetings,

I've had my Optimus V for a little over 6 weeks now and, for the most part, am very satisfied with both the handset and the coverage Virgin Mobile provides. What I have been experiencing, though, that frustrates the daylights out of me are the occasional times when I touch one area of the touchscreen and an icon or letter on the opposite side of what I want activiates. I am more than willing to accept now-and-again fat-fingering, but what I am describing is (as an example) trying to type the letter P but the letter W might show up instead, or touching an icon at the bottom of the screen while one directly above but an 1-1/2" away toggles! :mad::mad::mad:

I can see no pattern for this behavior. Has anyone else ever encountered this?

Do you have shield on your phone? If it's one of those cheap ones they cause tons of problems. That is why I always go with the ZAGG invisible sheild. Lifetime warranty too.

Hmm...a manky shield is a distinct possibility. I'll take off the one I have and use the handset "naked" for a couple of days to see if there's any difference. A good tip! Many thanks...
