    Hi and Welcome to CrackBerry

    It really does sound like it's the app. Try deleting it and see if the touch screen goes back to normal.

    As the post above says, it sounds like your app problem. One time, I had a 9790 and installed a slide to unlock app (sorry, do not remember which one it was), and never had a problem.
    Later on, I got bored (mind you, I have an iPhone as well :-), and removed it.
    Using the lock/unlock button of the 9790 was a real PITA. It is too stiff and almost unusable (a bad design), and if you use it frequently, it will break the plastic case.
    I now use the 9900 and do not quite remember how it was on the 9790, but you can lock the screen by pressing "k". To unlock, long press the end/power off button (rightmost), and when the screen shows up, press the back button (2nd from right) instead of trackpad and it will be unlocked. Unlocking part requires a bit of patience, but in reality, it is only a matter of second.

    It's a shame, as the 9790 is a good device (I like its size).
    Sounds like you have to wipe & load the latest OS. I believe the latest was 7.1. My 9790 had 7.1 preloaded.
