Touch screen selecting wrong things when I press?!

Not sure if anyone else is getting this but every now and again I go to press something one the screen all that happens is that something else in a different part of the screen gets selected instead :con?

I mainly notice it when I go for the close button in, for example contacts, and instead of closing it just tries to scroll down the list of contacts instead.

When this happens I usually just give up and lock the phone and it's then working again next time I come to use it......

Software or faulty touch screen?

😊

I've never had to calibrate my phone yet. When I find my touchscreen isn't working properly, I just give it a clean and it's back to normal.

Wot!

No... turn it off and turn it back on again? 😃

I find if you randomly tap the screen, on average onece in every 27 taps you'll hit the right thing.
