The problem

The device sometimes registers an unintended tap on the right edge of the screen — this often opens the task manager. During media playback (e.g. when watching a video), the screen may suddenly fast-forward to the end without user input, as if a swipe or tap had taken place.

Steps to reproduce This problem did not always occur. What I have seen is if you had some applications running in the background, then it can happen more often. Or you can try to go into the launcher and click for a longer time on the display.

The display was clean and dry during the test - there was no rain, no moisture and no dirt.
