Applied a new rom last week (BB 0.5). Worked fine for about a week, then starting yesterday it's been going completely nuts. As if a ghost is tapping the screen. It's nearly impossible to use.

I've done a bunch of battery pulls, but nothing. Cleaned the screen, still nothing. I'm wondering if it's the rom, or maybe hardware related in the form of a defective touch sensor or something. Any help appreciated.

Is it all the time or just when you have it plugged in.

If you have a backup restore it and see if that resolves the issue. If so, it is the rom. If not, then start considering the hardware.

I do have backups, but I've never gone back to applying one. I'm going to try a Nandroid restore back to an earlier version (earlier 2.2 from July) and post.

Restoring a backup from July may take you back to 2.1. Do you remember what rom and version that was backed up?

FRF84BV04.zip

Well restoring back to FRF84BV04.zip did not help. Still acting crazy. Like as if it's receiving false data from the touch screen. Randomly panning back/forth up/down, opening applications, etc...

charger has no effect. It's nuts both on and off the charger.

I may be off base but in view of the things that you've tried it seems that the issue is hardware.

I'm thinking it's hardware related too.

Anyone know how long the warrantee is good for?

I'm thinking 90 days but not sure. Call VZW customer service they can tell you. I prefer to work with the CS folks instead of the store because they seem more helpful and sensitive to customer needs.

According to VW it's still under warrantee.

OK, anyone know how I go about getting a stock rom?

I had the exact same thing happen yesterday for about a half hour. Off the charger. And I am running plain stock 2.2 on my D1. I did a battery pull and it seemed to help, but I also put my phone down for about 45 mins after pulling...

I hope it is not a recurring deal...

By chance do you keep your phone in your pocket? Happened to a friend of mine.moisture was the problem.

That sounds about right... I was gutting a house with my baby in my pocket... I will have to be more aware of moisture. Thanks for easing my mind!

This same thing happened to my husband's phone. I booted into recovery and cleared the cache, that helped some but finally had to resort to flashing a new rom on his phone. That seems to have fixed it. We did notice that it was more problematic and showed off more when the battery was low (below 30%).

Went back to stock. Still going nuts!

Called VW for a replacement. It's on it's way.
