My home screen started to sea saw back and forth between the other screens by itself. I tried to turn the phone off but no luck with that either. The only way to stop it was a battery pull once I did that all was good again for now at least.
 
I guess you know this now, but for future reference, never use a damp cloth on your phone haha. A cotton T-shirt is better than nothing. I hope your screen issue has been resolved by the battery pull :)
 
I've always just used the thigh of my jeans. Works perfectly. Of course, making sure your jeans are clean goes without saying.
 
Yup, pull battery, and a damp micro is gold. Use specific liquid designed for electronics. Typically, it is alcohol based and evaporates in seconds.

But don't use alcohol. It tends to eat things.

Ive found that Microfiber works for a very short period of time if you don't clean the Microfiber cloth itself as well. It just starts smearing the oils. I use glass cleaner and coffee filters. They have a little bit of bite, are cheap as hell, and are lint free.
