Hi this is a FYI post.

I have had this problem 3 times and its kinda anoying.

It might be others.

Suddenly the phone touch screen response is erratic, feels like a "bug" no response, bad response, wrong and erratic response with fingers and stylus. I have been fooled by this 3 times. It’s the screen protector, I have no explanation, but it is. Why I know. I have reflashed and reinstalled the phone these 3 times, because nothing about the screen protector seemed wrong. After reflash, reinstall of apps and backups, same problem. Change screen protector, problem solved. I have also tried to recalibrate screen while this problem persisted. Felt like it helped for a few minutes, but that’s it.

I hope this might help someone.

Because the screen protector was either too thick and/or built up a resistance after usage from greasy fingers which would give the resulting symptoms.

Yea, it's a strange thing! happened to me once, nearly went and bought a new screen! I put a pic up here:-

Your conclusion is correct, screen protector being too thick which causes weirdness like scrolling down to scroll up instead.

Same problem for me, only I actually did buy a new touch pad before I figured it out.

hi all,
for two weeks my touchscreen acts as described by OP. I have installed a exim screenprotector since I got my N900 back in february 2010. Is it possible that my screenprotector material has changed?
