it's also definitely related to heat and water (or sweat/humidity, really)
I've been having the crazy phantom touchscreen freakout screen issue for 2 days now, off and on. I read what Steve H mentioned about the protective plastic coating behind the screen causing the issue, however in my case, that plastic coating has been removed for months.
Additionally, my phone first started exhibiting this issue when sitting in a cool, dry environment, and humidity/temperature do not seem to impact the frequency of the problem, therefore I do not believe these to be the root cause.
I do, however occasionally use aftermarket chargers, and one of my original chargers has a wiring issue where it will sometimes carry a very poor connection through to the phone, causing moments of extremely rapid connect/disconnects.
In my opinion, problems with inconsistent charging and/or voltage seem to be the most likely culprit in catalyzing this behavior, however, based on the frequency and volume of users having this problem, I do believe there to be an inherent flaw in the D1's design.
so will Moto stand behind the phone? I am out of warranty on this thing?
im droppin my 2 cents....
i had my rooted moto droid1 running stock and or any random rom/kernal
verizon stood behind the phone(just flash it back...COMPLETELY BACK to stock!!!
the zip files are out there. (i did a wipe while i was at it so no personal data)
verizon gave me no problem said i was within manufacture warranty
hope your droid gets replaced
