Re: TouchPro 2 Touch screen stops working

I think it happens because the phone has a severe over heating problem if it winds up in a confined space such as a pocket. My screen won't ever stay off, and the TP2 gets extremely hot when it comes on. I've also noticed that it will sometimes come on while I'm talking on it, and by the time I notice how hot the side of my face has gotten the screen is sticking to me (Like a vinyl car seat). I would imagine that either situation stretches the screen a bit, though I think the backlight coming on while I'm on the phone probably does it worse than anything else, since its already pretty warm by that point.

This phone was a refurb, and never did run quite right - the GPS antenna is disconnected according to ##DEBUG# and every GPS app I've tried, it's been extremely slow even on a factory restart, and I'm not sure how old its screen was before I got it in December.
