EVO registers touches on its own

Ever since I the OTA update my phone has gone haywire and it selects items at random on my upper right of the screen as if something is pressing on the screen. I've rebooted and still have the same issues. Wondering anybody is having the same problem.

I have seen my friends phone do that as well. Hard reset and see if that fixes the problem.

you can try recalibrating the touch screen??

I did by holding volume down and the power button and then clear storage. I don't know how to recalibrate, but I took it to the Sprint store and supposedly they did. I took again the next day and said it's a known software problem. Sometimes when I moved it around it starts to do it to.

Yeah and it enjoys itself, cause it won't stop touching itself.

This happens to me on any rooted rom based off the new ota. Pretty much makes the rom unuseable. It honestly acts like it has a mind of its own.

Well mine is not rooted, so I can't revert to another Rom.
