Something started happening yesterday on my N9.... when I type messages, the keyboard has a mind of its own and just starts punching a whole heap of random letters by itself. It's like when a phone freezes and it tries to catch up with what you have typed... only the phone hasn't frozen...

Any idea what could be causing this? Was doing the same thing after a reboot

Edit/Update

So now i've figured out that the phone isn't pressing keys by itself, it is actually registering me pressing buttons when my fingers are just above the screen, not actually pressing the screen

So in other words, I can type without touching the screen, all I need to do is hover my finger about half a centimetre above the screen.....

Nokia said to reset my phone but i'm not even going to bother, i'm guessing this is a hardware issue. Very strange if you ask me

Another Update 18/02

Took the phone back to Nokia, they said they replaced the sensor and display... but when I got it back and took it home, I realised it's the same screen as the black spots that appear in the dark are exactly the same, so I don't think they actually replaced the display, AND, the phone is doing the same thing :/
