Hey guys, for those iPhone experts out there.
I have the iPhone 4 and until recently it was fine. What happens now is a set of strange things related to its touch screen:
1. On a specific spot on the screen (lower right) sometimes just hovering (without touching) my finger registers touches.
2. On a whole column (right side of the screen) if I click somewhere the iPhone detects a click somewhere else, this could be related to 1
3. If I open an application called "draw" which is a simple drawing app, and try drawing a horizontal line, the line starts fine (from left to right) until I reach the right side (while drawing slowly) the drawing goes wobbly and I see pulse like scratches going up and down even if I keep my finger still on the same spot.
4. One las thing, a probably related behaviour has occurred before in the same region, where if I draw a horizontal line it is broken in that region as if I removed my finger there (no touch detection). This behaviour went away and phone was back to normal for no obvious (at least to me) reason.
Can anyone tell me what might be the problem, is it HW or SW, and what is the suggested approach to fixing this?
Thanks in advance guys

Obviously something related to touch detection. What I can't tell for sure is if this a problem with hardware (in which case you'll need to change the LCD/touch assembly, I think. It's less expensive then it sounds - but look out for the quality of parts) or the software. But I believe a hardware problem is more likely.
PS: It might also be something related to the environment, as someone suggested in the other thread. Try to figure out what makes this happen, if you can.
