3 GS screen not always responsive

Hi. Just got the 3GS a week ago, and i've noticed that when i touch the screen, its not always responsive. Some times i have to touch it several times to get it to work.
any one have this issue?
thanks

Hi. I was having the same issue. I took my phone to the genius bar (apple store) and they tightened one of the cables inside the phone. They guy told me that apple has seen some phones that have a loose cable inside and its a quick 2 minute fix. Since I went to the apple store and they did the reconnecting, I haven't had that problem

    The two most likely culprits would be a faulty cable/charging block or a bad digitizer. Try charging the device with a different charger and cable. If the problem goes away, then the problem is with your charger. If it does not, try the basics of resetting, restoriing from back up, restoring as new. If you still have the problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store for evaluation.

  • My screen is not always responsive when I'm on a call

    Most of the time when I'm on a call my END CALL or END + ANSWER button does not work.  I'll push it over and over again and it just dims & come back like I never pushed it.  I normally have to wait until the other person hangs up before I can click over or end a call.  Has anyone else had this problem?  I don't think my screen is that greasy or dirty.

    Do you have a case on the phone? If so, then try removing the case and see if the phone works correctly with it removed. If it does, then there is something about the case that is blocking the proximity sensor. If it does not, you can try to reset the phone, holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. See if it works after the phone restarts. If that doesn't help, the next step is a restore, first from a backup and if necessary as a new device. If it still doesn't work properly, then it could be hardware issue and the only way to check is to have Apple examine the phone.

  • Screen not always responding right when plugged in?

    I notice occasionally my screen just goes crazy. I'll be touching in the middle and it ends up actually touching done (no where Near where anything was touching). At first I thought it was the Body Glove case I have, so I removed it.
    This doesn't always happen either, which is strange. After using the phone for a while though, I've noticed it only has happened while plugged in (Just to the wall, I don't plug it into the computer because I'm at work). As soon as I unplugged it, I could enter the text I needed and it was fine.
    Is this happening to anyone else? I'm trying to find out if it's a real issue, or if I maybe just have a defective phone.

    This happened to me one day...but I had it plugged into the work computer to charge...as soon as I held my finger in it (like in imovie) the screen would start jittering...but as soon as I disconnected it, it would work fine. This is only at work (PC) but not at home (macbook pro). Not sure why that is though.

  • Disconnecting external screen not always withoud problemns

    I noticed that when I unplug my external screen sometimes I keep an error.
    Like: http://www.flickr.com/photos/24039811@N04/2284699742/ (leaving a 1x1 display).
    Could this be a bug, or is there a way to 'detach' a display before I disconnect it?

    I have this issue frequently on MacOS 10.8.5. My Macbook Pro Retina seems to partially think there's still an external monitor connected.
    Just today I figured out a workaround that fixes my machine without a reboot:
    1. Load the Displays preferences. Since my menu bar is missing, Since I don't have a menu bar visible, Option-F2 (brightness) will bring this up.
    2. I see two separate windows for display settings: the normal "Color LCD" window for my internal Macbook display, and another window for the phantom external display. I usually have to use the "Gather Windows" button to put them both on the same screen.
    3. In the displays preferences for the phantom external display, change the Rotation setting from Standard to another setting, like 90 degrees.
    That change was enough to cause the Macbook to reset the displays and realize the external display wasn't there. The second Displays window disappears, and my dock and menu bars are back on my built-in display!
    I've only tried this once so far, so hopefully it holds up on future occasions. But, this has been such a persistenly annoying problem for me that I wanted to post this in case it can help anyone else!

    Hi.
    Does this only open on that specific site?
    In any case, you may want to:
    - instruct Firefox to handle PDF files in a specific way by going into Tools > Options > Applications and selecting the option you want for the PDF files
    - reinstall Adobe Reader and its Firefox plugin
    - install another reader instead of Adobe Reader. I recommend Foxit Reader ( http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ ), since it's free, VERY light, VERY fast, safe and also has a Firefox plugin (make sure you don't have both Adobe Reader plugin and Foxit Reader plugin enabled/installed at the same time in Firefox)

  • Lately, I've been getting a blue screen in the midst of working and have to do a cold reboot to end it. Seems to happen when I'm closing windows or quitting applications. Not always, but sporadically. What causes this? I'm using 10.6.8 on early 2011 MBP.

    Lately, I've been getting a blue screen in the midst of working and have to do a cold reboot to end it. Seems to happen when I'm closing windows or quitting applications. Not always, but sporadically. What causes this? I'm using 10.6.8 on early 2011 MBP. Thanks for any help/advice!

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

    Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
    1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
    2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.

  • IPhone 4s screen not responsive after running

    After I go for a run, my iPhone 4s screen's bottom right corner is non-responsive until I restore the phone. I have gotten a replacement phone, but it still happens, so I know it must be software. I tried setting it up as a new phone, and loading minimal apps on it, but still having the same issue.
    One thing that is peculiar is that depending on the pocket that I keep the phone in, this issue does or does not occur. If the phone is in the pocket that holds it vertically, with little movement (it just fits inside the pocket), it happens every time. If I put it in a different pocket where it sits more horizontal and moves around more, then I don't have the issue.
    In addition to the bottom right corner of the screen being non-responsive, there are sporadic and random taps that take place the I don't do. A little poltergeist-acting. random typing, random touches.
    Last bit of info is that this has happened with my iPhone 4, as well as now 2 different iPhone 4s's... Wondering if anyone has had this issue, and if there is any
    way to find out what is doing it besides adding on apps one by one. That would be a lot of running/testing.
    One more thing... Even if I restart it, it still does not work. The ONLY way to get it to work again is to restore it.
    Any help GREATLY appreciated.

    If restoring as new (no backup retored) didn't help, there certainly is a hardware problem that requires replacement or repair of the phone. 
    Apple doesn't repair iPhones - you may be entitled to an out of warranty replacement with a refurb for $269 (USA). If the phone has  been hacked or abused, you'll have to buy a new phone at full price.

  • Firefox 34.05 does not always refresh screen

    When I move from one tab to another the screen does not always refresh. Same happens when I close a tab - the screen will still show the deleted tab. This does not happen all of the time - but enough to be an issue.

    The https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ is not always accurate or reliable (needs to be manually updated) as Adobe has not been keeping the Adobe products versions to check for updated on that page as the recent Flash updates on December 9 has shown.
    It is however accurate when it says versions in Plugins panel of Addons Manager is outdated.
    There is Adobe Reader 11.0.10 though it seems like Adobe still provides 10.1.4 at http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/ yet newer versions are at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Windows
    </blockquote>
    James, why does the Firefox addon page link to the 9.5 "blocked for your protection" page instead of the 10.5 blocked page? Is that a mistake/failure to update on Adobe's part? That seems like something that should be controlled on the Mozilla side, since it has the 10.5 blocked page in existence as well. Should someone be notified that it's giving the wrong page to people?
    The adobe update you linked to made it stop saying it's out of date, but what about the Java Development Toolkit? (As pictured in attached image #3). How should I go about getting that up to date?

  • Screen backlight does not always turn on

    Lately I've had trouble with my iPhone 4S backlight. The backlight does not always turn on when I wake the phone from sleep.
    I've tried turning off the auto-brightness, but it does not help, the same behaviour continues. When the backlight is not on toggling the auto-brightness button or adjusting the brightness or covering the ambient light sensor have no effect, the backlight stays off. Usually it just randomly turns on after I put the device to sleep and wake it up. And no, my cover does not block the sensor either.
    Has anyone else encountered the same problem? And what could I do to try to fix the situation? Should I try installing it as a new phone or is it possibly a hardware issue?

    I've tried the restart and reset options, both turn the light on just after I've done them, but the same trouble can start when the device goes to sleep next. But, I guess I'll have to try the other two also.
    And yes, I do have the latest software, though the problem originally started with the older software. Then it stopped for a while but now it came back and is more frequent.
