So what is going on after the last update? My phone randomly freaks out at times and starts switching screens and stuff on it's own. Seems like it is possessed. Never did this before the update...and a friend of mine is having the same problem with their Incredible. Also at times I try to go back to the home screen and the screen goes completely black for a bit....then will eventually go to it. When it freaks out the only thing I can do is restart it and then it will work fine until the next time it freaks out. Anyone else having this issue?

For the screen switching, try cleaning your optical trackpad with a microfiber cloth. The other stuff sounds like what happened to a lot of people after the last OTA, and hard resetting was often recommended to deal with it (although you might want to wait for any additional suggestions from others before going to all that trouble).
