Cannot swipe screen unless I'm holding the phone

It could be, possibly in different swipping motions, and it could be your default launcher too.
Not the launcher. I am using the Nova launcher but had removed it and tried it using the stock launcher.

Another thing. On the new replacement phone I am able to use a stylus to enter text - on the previous phones using the stylus would just result in gibberish!

Honestly I'm still leaning towards don't put your phone down before you swipe
Well, this one works even when I put it down. So it's something with the other two phones. As I said, the only difference is that I did not apply the Zagg screen protector to this one. For each of the others, I had removed the Zagg from the previous phone and reapplied it to the new one.
