I've had an issue with my Droid4 periodically where the screen will seemingly navigate all on its own without any interaction from me. This always happens when it's plugged into USB for syncing music. Just now I had the phone sitting on my desk without USB plugged in and when I tried to open an application, the icon 2 below was launched. The phone was sitting next to my PC speaker (small, but within a couple inches of the cone. Is it possible that the magnetic field from this speaker could cause the capacitive touchscreen to respond different than expected? When connected to USB, the phone is in a different location on my desk, but it's a few inches from my PC. Could the hard drives or some other component cause these types of issues? I know the phone itself works fine, I'm just curious if this is a known issue such that I should avoid even weak magnetic fields.

Droid4 ICS 4.0.4 (rooted, stock)
