I don't know a lot about rooting the T1, but if you used adb in the process, then you should be able to connect to the device using 'adb shell', and do some snooping from the command-line on the T1. Use 'ps -a -x -l' to see what processes exist, and if any are currently running. Look at how much time each has spent executing to see if any one of them is hogging hours of CPU time. I've also read reports here in the past where crud on the screen causes the IR touch interface to waste time reacting to and ignoring the events. The 'dmesg' command shows you the system logs, and can often be useful for finding out low-level problems.
Thanks for your help. I had already unrooted the device so I won't be able to use the system logs. But since it is unrooted there shouldn't be any apps 'running in the background' so to speak.

Unfortunately the problem still persists.

The only thing I haven't tried yet is a factory reset, which I'm hoping will do the trick.

I'll post back when I've done that.
