- when I slide to unlock it gets almost to the bottom then bounces back up.
- when I pull the notification bar down it acts as if I'm pinching the homescreen to edit homescreens.
- when typing with the keyboard sometimes the bottom row of keys will not work. sometimes types on its own.
- sometimes opens apps (even made a phone call) on it's own.
- screen freezes up and I have to lock/unlock to unfreeze.
- if I drag an app icon from the app drawer to place on the homescreen it spazzes out and floats over the bottom dock (with menu phone etc) with "not enough room" warning
- Sometimes it seems like if I hold it a certain way or slightly apply pressure to the edges of phone it will activate icons and buttons near the bottom 1/3 of the phone.
It's getting to the point where it's unusable. I've hard reset twice, removed battery. At first I thought it was apps, hololauncher, swiftkey but it's completely stock now and still does it.
I just took it to Verizon store to ask about a warranty replacement but they said since a reset didnt fix it, It could be a non-covered hardware issue. A couple weeks ago I knocked it off the arm of a chair onto hardwood a few times. (slippery chair, clumsy me) but nothing more extreme than I've done to a phone in the past. I could have it sent in for a warranty, but what are the chances they will discover some physical damage causing this? The last item on my list above makes me apprehensive about getting the warranty replacement and getting stuck with a $300 charge.
My upgrade date is in a few days, so this whole thing may be moot but I'd like to have a working phone in the meantime as I likely wont be getting a new phone right away. (waiting for the GS4 release) This is also why I don't want to spent $100 on insurance deductible for what is essentially my "old" phone.
