btw, did u use any other charger beside the original one? there are few reports about touchscreen misbehaving on droid as a result of charging the phone using an aftermarket charger. (http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-general-discussions/1691-touch-screen-suddenly-inaccurate-goes-crazy.html)

if it not the case then it really is a hardware issue. but most of milestone/droid users who have this issue in europe/usa got a replacement unit instead of a software repair. and yes, i believe u better go to that service center again and speak to another person, perhaps the manager. maybe u can print some forum discussions (like the link above) to proof them its a hardware issue so u could get a replacement right away.

One theory on the USB cable doing this is that USB ports provide different power depending on what you are plugging it into. On most PC's the USB ports on the back of the PC are fully powered, USB ports on the front, on USB hubs, on Monitors or Keyboards provide less power to the USB device plugged in.


Hello, I found that if your screen is acting wierd while charging, as described in the original post, that the power from the charger to the phone may be too low. My testings are below...

I purchased a 3rd party charger to have at work and the mA (milliamps) output was 350mA. It would make my Droids screen go crazy. I used my wifes Blackberry adapter which is 700mA and it worked great. The adapter out of the box is 850mA.

As for using your USB cord on your PC, USB ports like the ports on the back of your PC versus the ports on a USB hub, keyboard, monitor or even laptop will put out different voltages and mA's. Normally the ports on the back of a PC or USB hub that has its own power supply will be ok but this isn't something I have tested.
