Anyone else get ghost screen touches with new leaked Froyo?

It only happens when I use any ROM based off the .47 OTA and now the newer froyo 2.2 versions that have been released. I realize they are not final but a final version is obviously not going to fix my problem.

I feel I am probably a very small number of people with this issue. If I run any other ROM I don't have the issue but obviously there is something either with my phone or in the kernel or something effecting my phone.

What do I mean by ghost screen touch? Randomly using the phone it will register touches at the top of my screen. Bad enough to make the screen unusuable and I have to turn the screen off and on multiple times till it goes away.

This is on a completely stock ROM without me adding any software or anything. I also have no screen protectors etc. I have eliminated everything I can.

The only thing I can think of is I know before the .47 OTA some people complained about a grounding issue. I never had that problem personally but whatever they changed I think may be causing this because any ROM before that is fine.

Rev. 002 with Novatech screen. I get 5 points on Dotty also. Bought on launch.

thanks for reading.

You guys will have to exchange your phone. If you have insurance, just call sprint and they will ship you a new one.

The "wait and see" policy works again. I'll be sticking with my 2.1 Damage Control 3.2.3. for a while, for sure. My phone works too good and life is too busy to be a guinea pig.

I emailed Sprint and they want me to take to a Spring store and have a tech do some testing or whatever. So now I have to hope that it actually happens while they look at it.

Very fustrating because frankly I don't want to exchange my phone cause I like it as is but I can't deal with this too much longer.

Re: Anyone else get ghost screen touches with new leaked Froyo?

Im finally glad someone is talking about this issue. The only time mine does it is when im plugged into a charger. What happens on my phone is that it seems as if someone is pushing down on the screen. It has even gone as far as removing widgets to the trash part of my phone. However when I unplug my phone it stops. I dont know what to do.

It does tend to happen to me more when its plugged in but it does still happen to me not plugged in.

When I launch my app tray it will always select the one on the very top left corner which happens to be adfree. If it happening on your app tray does it select that top left icon also?

As I said though the .47 OTA has been out for awhile and it does it to me with that so this update was a more of hope its not there anymore kind of thing.
