Optical Joystick troubles: Does it constantly move stuff for anyone else. I can be on my home screen and icons just randomly highlight and sometimes the screen even pans over to another screen... Quite annoying, then if i touch the scroll pad it stops for a while.

Any way to disable this? I never use it anyway.
 
Not sure what it is called... But does it constantly move stuff for anyone else. I can be on my home screen and icons just randomly high light and sometimes the screen even pans over to another screen... Quite annoying, then if i touch the scroll pad it stops for a while.

If you mean the "Optical joystick", try cleaning it with a soft cloth and/or blow it out with some air. Dust is an issue with these and can cause the problems you are experiencing.
