IOS 6.1.3 iPhone 5 - screen resolution expands beyond screen limit?

Since upgrading to iOS 6.1.3 my iPhone 5 occasionally expands its screen beyond the actual screen limits of the device. This means part of the PIN login pad is missing including the Cancel button and lower number buttons, so the only way to get back into my locked phone is to turn it off to reset it! My wife has the same model, updated her phone last week, and has experienced the same issue.
On opening an App, it starts at the correct size then expands slightly on the RHS and base of the image, pushing the extremitiees past the screen boundary. A screen capture shows me that from a 'capture' perspective, the image isn't clipped!

Double Tap the screen with three fingers...
Then go to Settings > General > Accessibility and make sure Zoom is turned Off.

Upgrade to iOS 6.1 freezes iphone 4 - alternative resolution

Up til 2 weeks ago, my iPhone 4 was working great, but all of a sudden it started to hang or freeze on some regular apps. Looking back, it may have something to do with iCloud linking to my iPad or perhaps a corrupt app, but I make a point of deliberately not downloading non-established apps that aren't widely reported in regular or tech media.
Whatever it was, it frustrated the **** out of me. Hitting the home button didn't do much and in fact, even that only took it home 60% of the time. When I saw the new iOS 6.1 software upgrade appear in my settings, I would normally leave it a couple weeks to let Apple iron out the bugs and dodge the rush that seems to inflict pain on so many others. However, I figured it might just fix the problem.
I made sure I had more than 60% battery and did a remote update through WIFI. The status bar appeared, filled up and it seemed to complete the process as you'd expect and then.... bang! Nothing. Well, apart from the Apple logo. That's all I had for the next 3 days.
A regular reboot and "hard reset" (pressing the Power and Home buttons for 10secs, waiting for a refresh) didn't resolve anything. What's worse, I had no way of telling how much battery life was left, so whilst trying out a Restore through iTunes (which initially didn't even recognise a device), I could feel my phone was overheating. You could actually feel the heat through the screen and the back cover.
The next night I tried the restore from iTunes. But my device wasn't even being recognised. I tried a hard reset whilst it was plugged in and after a few more attempts and a full scan and update to the latest iTunes, my device was eventually picked up (recognised), but still no change on the phone's screen. Oddly, iTunes recognised that it was using iOS 6.1, but the phone itself was useless. I gave up there and left the phone to cool down overnight, figuring a complete drain of the battery is a good thing anyways.
Next day, I took it to a trusted IT repairs store, who removed the cover, blew the dust out, checked it over and said they could try an engineer's reset to debug the software, but they needed much more time. He also said he had a 2 other iphones and an ipad with similar problems. I said I'd try again over the weekend and as I had already booked an Apple specialist call the next morning.
Those were the symptoms, here's my solution (I've stated all attributes, whether necessary or not);
Get to your regular PC and download the most up to date version of iTunes. (I'm using 11.0.1.12)
Get the correct cable you were given with your iPhone/ device. Don't use a substitute and from what I've seen, always best to charge and use the charger and cable that comes with your iPad 3/ iPhone 4 or more. They charge faster.
Suggestion: Don't run any other applications in your PC,unless say this webpage to read as you go.
Next the trick: Start iTunes on your laptop/ PC.
Plug the cable into your iPhone/ device.
Plug the USB end of the cable into your laptop/ PC.
Do the fast reset - pressing the Power and Home buttons for 10secs, wait for a black screen to signify the refresh and lift your finger off the POWER BUTTON ONLY. Keep your finger down on the Home button.
Pretty soon after this, my iPhone gave me a new image, intimating that I now plug it into iTunes for a regular iTunes restore.
So I uncoupled the cable and plugged it back in again and it recognised the device and started the regular update process with a firmware update too. I just let it do it's thing and pretty soon, we were there.
YOU WILL LOSE DATA STORED ON THE PHONE, but better than a frozen screen for 3 days, right?
So long as you have a recent backup on your PC, or the iCloud, then you should be able to work through a restore process and get your contacts, apps and photos back in place.
Unfortunately my last back up was to my PC last August and it suggests the device "didn't allow it", but hey, a spring clean is good for business. I can use an earlier version, but I'm thinking I can live with this for a while. I will however, start taking more notice of iCloud backups and
Good luck and keep the faith, persevere and you will get there!

Do you have iTunes 11 on your computer? If not update iTunes.
Reboot your computer.
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Just upgraded to ios 6.1.3 - iPhone 4S screen stopped working. Is this a known fault?

Have fixed screen issue by re-setting phone. ie held down off switch and round button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. Got an Apple icon followed by passcode request and PRESTO - normal function has been resumed. Phew! but drama I could have done without.

TS3694 After updating to iOS 6.1.2, iPhone 5 got problems which are lock screen, Sounds, syncing iTunes?

After updating to iOS 6.1.2, iPhone 5 can't connect to iTunes. When i am trying to connect, then i can connect. After secods, the phone is not connecting with iTunes again. Then Automatically connect to iTunes again by itself.
My sound works with headphones, the alarm works, ringer works but can not listen to any music/videos without headphones plugged in.
Then lock screen bugs; bypass fumble. When I start to open the iPhone and swiping is heavily to do on the slide to unlock. What's the matter with it?

firstly thanks for quick reply.
sorry sir,
i am confused in last line you wrote,
" This will erase the phone but you will be given an option at the end to restore to an existing backup, if you have one."
i did not understand last sentence - if i have one? you mean to say if i have data or not in my iphone?
i have many pictures, messages, contacts which are very much important.
so will it be all restore and will be backup again in my iphone if i restore?
i am extremely sorry to interrupt you again.
waiting for your quick reply
thanks and regards,
vishal

I just finished downloading and attempting the install of ios 7 on my iPhone 5. I'm using the newest version of iTunes.
And now, I'm stuck at the screen with the iTunes logo and the plug. But no matter how many times I try, recovery mode will not work. My phone is currently useless unless I can figure this out.

No problem, glad to help!
Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine.

That's not a battery recharge sign. It's telling you your phone is in recovery mode and you need to plug it into your computer running iTunes.

IPhone 6 screen freezes and can't find wifi after iOS 8.0.2 update

iPhone 6 screen freezes and can't find wifi after iOS 8.0.2 update. Have to do a hard reboot. I am Extremely disappointed and lost ALL trust in Apples Quality Assurance. From now on I'll wait a week before I update.

Hey there Shortos,
It sounds like your phone touchscreen is not consistently working for you after updating to iOS 8. I can see how that would be pretty frustrating. It sounds to me like this could be a software issue or an issue with the screen itself. I would start with the troubleshooting in the following article to help troubleshoot the screen itself:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
Restart your device
Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
If that does not resolve the issue, I would next quit all the running apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Does the iPhone 4 on iOS 7 have the shifting home screen?

So I don't consider myself a newbe in any way as far as iPhone's go. I have studied and know more then most of the apple guys. But I did notice that iOS 7 has a shifting home screen in the background when you shake the phone. And my iPhone 4 isn't doing that. Its compass seems to work so it doesn't seem like the hardware is off. I am just not sure if the iPhone 4 has the ability on iOS 7 to do that. The other day I spend over an hour scorning the internet for the answer but I could not find either a yes or a no answer. I have already gone into settings and made sure the reduce motion was off in the Accessibility section. when its on the folders and apps don't bounce into the screen. but nothing else changes because there is no shifting home screen. I would just like to know if the iPhone 4 has that capability on iOS 7 like the others do. if not which devices don't. If any one knows let me know. I am not as familiar with the newer iOS systems as I am with the old ones.
Old iPhone man

Disable Reduce Motion - if that's turned on you won't see the background "move"

If restoring the phone as new did not solve your problem, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

IOS 8.3 notifications drop down does not expand on full screen iOS 8.3 iPhone 5.1

HHow can I get notifications drop down to expand to full screen in iOS 8.3 on iPhone 5.1? See attached screen shots

The resetting of the iPhone has helped for a week, and because of that I have tried something more drastic: restore the iPhone with iOS reinstall. So far no problem after 1 day. I will keep you posted. Maybe I will need to set this iPhone as new, which I really hate to do because I will loose all contacts and saved Wi-Fi hotspots. I don't want to either reset the settings since it is quite time consuming to log in the accounts (I don't remember the passwords).

Did you change any AppleID accounts or anything? I've seen this happen when changing accounts or certain restore situations.
If you are using iCloud you should be able to reset your phone to Factory Defaults and restore from iCloud, but it always makes me nervous.
