OK, I realize I'm not the first person to have this problem. But here's the thing. My phone has been fine for over 2.5 years and it only just started acting weird. It's not the charger as I have used the same charger for 2.5 years. It's not moisture as the phone has not gotten damp (other than a little sweat from my face when I used it while jogging). The phone does seem to get hot, especially when charging (I got a new battery and that seems to have cured the hot part but not the touchscreen part).
It is not consistent. The problem comes and goes. Sometimes the phone is unusable. I pull the battery, reboot, and it's fine. For a while.
I've read a few posts here and there about people replacing the touchscreen. Is that the problem? The touchscreen itself is shot? Is there any solution other than a new phone? I've held onto this phone b/c it has the slide out keyboard. I've tried phones without the slider and I hate them. Is there any hope?
I should add that there does not seem to be a direct correlation between the phone getting hot and the touchscreen acting weird. Often it happens when the phone is cool and has been sitting idle for a long time.
Thanks.
