Screen moves to the right!

The screen for what ever reason keeps moving to the right. This happens for no reason that I could think of. Every time I try to swipe it back to the center, it just wants to move back again, on its own. Is the screen faulty?

Ya mine does the same thing when I plug it in. Its my first day with the phone, but I thought I read somewhere else that these phones act funny when they are plugged in.

Clean the optical trackpad.

This is exactly what the culprit is. The optical trackpad on the dinc is extremely annoying. I've searched forever for a way to turn it off but I found a better solution:

1. I took a piece of scotch tape and taped it over the optical trackpad.
2. I took a precision blade and cut the tape so that it only covered the circular trackpad.
3. That's it! It no longer moves on its own and if I need to use it the tape still allows enough light through to pick up on movement. At first I was concerned about the tape falling off but it's been on there since last July without any problems.

Note: Make sure to use the "cloudy" tape instead of the crystal clear kind.

This happened to me last year. No matter how many times I cleaned the optical trackpad, the screen wouldn't stop jumping around. My Dinc was rooted and I flashed a custom ROM. But even after unrooting and reverting back to the stock ROM, the problem still persisted. In the end, Verizon sent me a refurb. (Which sucked because I had to give up my AMOLED screen for a ****ty LCD screen.)
