IPod Touch has been acting weird lately??

Question

Okay, I've had my IPod Touch 4th generation since December 2011. Yes, I have had the IPod for a while now, but it hasn't given me any major problems until now. Ever since a few days ago, I was unable to text, surf the internet, or use social media efficiently because whenever I click on things, it selects others, even when I'm not even close to touching them. I don't think it's uncalibrated, because if it was, the calibration would be seriously bad. When I try texting, it clicks other letters, scrolls through my messages, attempts to delete messages, and when I try to scroll, it sends messages of random letters to my friends! Try explaining to everyone why you keep sending them random letters.  I tried rebooting, but that just made these things occur more frequently. I don't have a screen protector on it, and there aren't any major scratches on the screen. It isn't cracked, either. What should I do?

Answer 1

There is not calibration.
Make sure the screen is clean with any screen protector removed.
