iPhone App Removal - As I use the phone, it keeps going into the delete mode

For some reason, my home screen has become ultra sensitive to touch - always going into the app-removal mode (shaking icons). This occurs when I touch a blank portion of the screen for only a second.


Just trying to scroll to the next screen will result in the app deletion mode and accidentally deleting apps. This also happens if I put the phone into my pocket without turning it off.


Is there a way to lengthen, or set, the time before the app removal mode becomes active?

Thank you for your response, however it does not seem to work.


I have the "Touch" option, which gives me only fast or slow. Both the fast and slow settings are the same as far as I can tell. Both settings result in an almost immediate activation of the Touch Duration Test shown below the fast/slow selection.


Any idea how to slow this down a bit?
