Weird touch screen issue

Hi,

My touch screen has been acting a little out of place recently. Typing works fine, tapping works fine as does most things. My problem occurs when trying to swipe with my thumbs. It only sometimes works but always works when I use only the tip of my thumb is finger.

If I use too much of the pad of my thumb or finger the phone won't swipe or detects it as a tap instead of a swipe. It's very odd behavior that has only started to happen the last few days. Is there a way to make the touch screen more sensitive? Or to detect a swipe even when I don't use just the tip of my finger? Or perhaps a way to recalibrate the screen?

I turned on the pointer in the debugging menu and I can see the phone recognises the touch and it recognises the swipe all the way across the screen but it dismisses it for some reason. Any help would be great
 
Welcome to Android Central! Do you have a screen protector on? Is there any kind of residue on your thumbs (e.g., dried glue)?
