im having similar issues that others have reported of their screens moving on their own. if im on my home screen, the pages will flip to the right on its own. this isnt the only place it happens. one example is when im trying to enter text. the selection will move away from the text box the the send button. do i have a defective screen? i installed a zagg screen protector on the phone and its slightly overlapping on the top left side of the optical track. could it be that? should i take it to verizon?

the problem is with the trackpad, happened to me a few times too. if it ever does it i just rub the trackpad back and forth a few times to snap it out of it so to speak. not a huge deal to me.

Did you try cleaning your optical track or wiping it with a lightly damp cloth or tissue or something? Mine was going nuts and I thought for sure something was wrong. It could also be that your screen protector is causing the auto-moving, but if you haven't already, i'd try making sure the trackpad is free of any debris, it worked for me and i haven't had any issues since. Did you have the phone in your pocket recently?
