Phantom touches on screen?

Anyone run into an issue with phantom touches on the screen? For me it's happening in the top right corner (seems to be roughly the same spot all the time). I think this has been happening since I removed it from the box on Friday. During the setup, the navigation bar would randomly become unusable, which I realize now is because there was a touch being held in the top right.

Usually, locking the phone and unlocking it will allow the touch screen to operate normally for at least 20s. On average this problem seems to be happening every 10-20 minutes for ~1 minute at a time.

Is there any kind of touch screen calibration or something like that I can run?

You said when you removed it from the box, is it brand new or a refurb? It sounds like a faulty replacement display/ digitizer.
