Home Screens Problem

A couple of us have had this problem. It seems to be dust or maybe static on the trackpad. Just wiping down the trackpad fixed it for me.

Here's a link to my thread, which has a link to another thread as well discussing the same issue:

Hope you get it sorted out. I was worried as hell when it started happening and repeated phone restarts didn't fix it. Hasn't been a problem since I cleaned the trackpad though. The static electricity theory could make sense in my case too, as it started happening right after I was walking around for a bit with it in my shirt pocket.

Hey guys,
I brought my phone to Verizon store, and they exchanged a new one for me.
By the way, on mine, I don't think it was caused by the optical track mouse.
I found out that it only acts weird in darker areas(less lightings), and it works as normal outside or brighter areas.
