Anyone has this screen getting unresponsive problem ?

Been using the iPhone for about 2 weeks now. Since yesterday, at times the screen becomes unresponsive ? ( touch screen doesn't work ). No matter what I do, nothing works at that time. It says "Slide to unlock", but i cannot slide.... When someone calls...it says "Slide to answer" but I cannot slide.... makes it completely, unusable when this happens !! I rebotted the phone by pressing the top-key and home button for a few seconds and it starts working again... So, far so good... But I'm afraid the "unresponsiveness" might happen again !!
Anyone had similar problems ?
Thanks for sharing.

I'm having the same issues. About half of the times i want to use the "Slide to unlock", I find it being stuck. It will work again when I press the Standby button twice (once to darken the screen, once again to bring the slider back up).
I'm very unhappy with this fault anyway, and whenever this happens and a call comes in, I'm unable to answer it, because "Slide to answer" doesn't work as well.
Apart from that, the screen and iPhone work perfectly.
I tried to reboot, didn't help. Then I tried to restore, didn't help as well.
The first time i realized the issue was with 1.1.3, it didn't get any better with 1.1.4.
Now I've downgraded to 1.1.2. again, and I'll keep an eye on it.
It seems to work now as it should - I'll let you know if I have get the issue.
In case it works fine with 1.1.2., I'd take it for granted that this is a software bug, which will hopefully be adressed with the next firmware update.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

Try this for the freezing

Or if they don't work put it into recovery mode
See here

Then restore

'Dead Strip' Part of Touch SCreen is Unresponsive

I just went out and bought a new 16GB 3G iPhone today, came home, uploaded my music and apps, and I thought everything went well. However, it appears my new iPhone is suffering from the 'dead strip' issue that many iPhones have seem to gotten. For those of you unaware of this issue, there is a small part of my screen that is unresponsive to touch. For me, this part of the screen affects the 1,2,3 buttons on the phone dial. Anything in this part of the screen will not respond. I've tried updating firmwares, multiple restores, and a few resets. Nothing will work. I knew that some iPhones would develop this issue over time, but never knew they came right out of the box defective!
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Having to take this back top the store is going to be a good chunk of time that I can't spare anytime soon.
-Parker

Unless you put the phone in an ill fitting case or are using a defective screen protector, you have a defective phone and the only solution is to get it replaced. This is a hardware problem - unfortunately nothing you can do to fix it.
BTW, this isn't something that occurs with "many iPhones", or something that "develops over time" with the iPhone 3G, unless the screen is damaged.

Touch screen becoming unresponsive

I have a week 38 iPod Touch and the touch screen started to become unresponsive around the time of the 1.1.1 update (not saying it is related). I owned the iPod for approximately 30 days before the screen started having issues.
I have a difficult time operating the unlock slider and the volume control. It is irritating (to say the least) to not be able to adjust the volume of the iPod during music or video playback or unlock the iPod from sleep mode.
Additionally, other sections of the screen become unresponsive. It does not matter if I am in landscape or portrait mode (video or music modes). The slider will still not track my finger. This leads me to believe it is possibly a software glitch although that doesn't rule out things like overheating which could be causing the issue to occur.
I purchased my iPod at Best Buy. Anyone know if you can return one from that store to an Apple store under the 1 year warranty?
I surely hope Apple helps me out since this is an obvious usability issue.

Well, I've tried 2 different brands now (nillkin & ultimate shield) and both had the same issues. I'm reluctant to throw any more money at screen protectors as clearly something is not quite right.
I've been a fan of ultimate shield protectors up to now as I've had them on my previous 2 phones without issue.
Anybody had similar issues and found a brand that works properly?
Thanks & merry Christmas

5S screen is occasionally unresponsive to touch, and interaction is sluggish. All since updating to iOS 8.

Ever since I updated to iOS 8, and all subsequent updates (currently running iOS 8.1.1) my iPhone 5S is considerably slower. Apps hesitate when I switch between them and sometimes crash entirely. Sometimes my screen is entirely unresponsive to touch and I have to tap numerous times before it works. I have restarted, i've done resets, I've backed up to the cloud, erased phone and restored from back up. The problems still persist.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FYI. I've chatted with Apple support online. They suggested I backup and restore using iTunes, which I've done already. SO to humor the tech, I did it again. If it doesn't work this time, then I need to bring it into an Apple store to be diagnosed and possible repair/replacement.
Hope this helps any readers with a similar problem

What can I do if my recently bought iPod touch 5th generation's touch screen is unresponsive at times?

I've had my ipod for about a week and off and on throughout the day the touch screen is unresponsive. I've restarted it several times and it does no good. Help!

Just the standard fixes:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Iphone 6 plus Touch Screen is Unresponsive When Charging

I just replaced my iPhone 4s with the iPhone 6 plus. I had several issues with the first 6plus and Apple has already replaced the phone once figuring it was a hardware issue. (Actually they couldn't figure out the cause of the issues so as a last resort they replaced the phone.) The second iPhone 6 plus still has an issue with the touch screen becoming unresponsive or erratic while charging. By erratic, I mean that if the phone is unlocked, I try to open my photos but the phone opens facetime. Or I try to open the app store and the phone actually opens the settings. The longer the phone is connected to a power source the more unresponsive or erratic the touch screen becomes. If the phone is locked, I can't even answer an incoming call or unlock the phone. Also, it doesn't matter if the phone is connected to my computer or to an outlet. All connectors (plug and cord) are the ones I received in the box with my iPhone. The only constant is that the phone is connected to a power source. It happens both when the phone is charging and if it has a full 100% charge.
The problem is solved immediately when I disconnect from the power source. If anyone has any ideas on what is causing the issue, I'd appreciate the advice.

Thank you for the advice. Unfortunately, this did not solve the issue. In the weeks since my original post, I've tried three different apple cords and a charging cord made by Duracell. I've tried two different apple wall bases and a generic brand wall base. I've tried different different power sources too. Plugging into different wall outlets, different computers, the USB connection in my car and used an adapter to plug into the 12v connection in my car. I had thought maybe the computer could contribute to the issue so I even tried the computer when I simply turned it on but did not log on. While the phone was charging, it still didn't fix the issue.

My iphone 4 touch screen is unresponsive

My iphone 4 touch screen is unresponsive and I can not slide the arrow to unlock the screen or to poweroff the phone. I have reinstalled from my backup several times and still no change. I even rebooted the phone by holding the power switch and the hom ebutton, but still no changes.
I'm wondering if i need to do a clean reinstall of the software to fix the problem or replace the phone (since it's still under warranty).
Any suggestions

sounds like you really didn't fix it correctly, doesn't it? Since you did the work yourself, Apple won't even touch your phone now. You'll need to bring it into a 3rd party repair shop.

The touch screen on my iphone 4s works well, but when I go onto the phone options the touch screen is unresponsive. Any suggestions?

I just tried to access my contacts on my phone and found that the phone screen is unresponsive. Everything else on the iphone works perfectly so it isn't a hardware problem. I have had the phone for about 1 year and haven't had this problem before. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions on how to fix it?
I can send texts, use the camera, access the apps, etc.

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

IPhone 6 plus screen becomes unresponsive!!!

I bought my IPhone 6 plus when released. I received it by mail on October 17. now the phone was perfect,it worked the way it should and the screen was perfect also. The only problem i had with it was that whenever i would close an app through the multitask menu my screen would flash blue but i would disregard it. 2 months go by and everything is perfect. it wasn't until late December when i began to have an issue with the phone. My screen would become unresponsive to touch and when it did respond it will be completely way off from where i touched it. i will also get this gray bar at the top of my screen when it happens. this happens almost all the time throughout the day. its getting to the point to where my phone is almost unusable. I haven't dropped my phone and it hasn't came into contact with water either. I have done a factory reset and set my phone up as new and it didn't work either. I just want to know if i am the only one having this issue or are there other people with this problem.

I have an Iphone6 bought in October and after iOS 8.1.3 the screen became unresponsive. I did the hard reset and itunes reset doesn’t work. It starts ok everything fine in minutes working the screen freeze. All other things works fine, music still playing, gps still guiden me, the phone rings ( But i can't take the call as the screen do not accept my command ). I don’t know what to do.

White, opaque, unresponsive to touch.

I have tried rebooting several times and I keep getting the same white, opaque, unresponsive to touch screen. Help?

I had the exact same problem a few days ago,
My screen dimmed and did not responed to touch.
What I did is:
clicked the home button 4 times,
Them I held the home button and the lock/sleep button for about ten seconds,
The Apple logo appeared
And my screen was okay
If this does not work: let the battery run out compleatly
and then charge it up again.
once it is full enough to show the lock screen,the screen should be back to normal.
