    i guess i dont get what you are wanting it not to do. if you hit a link it will lead to another and if you swipe up and down yes it will scroll up or down. explain more what your trying to fix.

    As long as he is pressing down on the screen while swiping, links will not be selected and acted upon (opened). If he is touching the screen very briefly to do the swipe, then the phone might interpret that as a press on the link. Tell him to put his finger on the screen, then do drag/swipe motion, not just flick at the screen.

    when he is on a site with links to other sites and when he swipes the phone up and down he will hit the link on the page by accident........if that makes more sense?

    I'd recommend a screen protector. I had the same issue but my screen protector helped tone down the sensitivity.
