Many causes have been identified, from merely a trackball in need of cleaning (alcohol wipes run over it thoroughly) to a defective or damaged trackball assembly.

I'd start with a live battery pull, failing that, a good cleaning with alcohol wipes, failing that a factory data reset, failing that replacement of the phone.

Time to head for the Verizon store for a remedy or replacement, then. You've done your best to fix it on your own, it appears; their turn.

By the way, you say, "almost." What have you not done, of those things I listed?

i will have to unroot

If a rooted phone is doing that, I'd really suspect the trackball being dirty or damaged.. you say life of the phone.. was it malfunctioning before rooting?

 

[driverx125]

yea did it before then to

 

[driverx125]

do you have a link to unroot the phone

That's the old dichotomy of rooting.. most users having to unroot to get something needed done at a Verizon store.

 

[driverx125]

Good of you to ask here, driverx.

You'll find explanations in several threads, here's the best one to read through:
