IOS 8.1.3 - iPhone 6 touch screen unresponsive

I updated my iPhone 6 to iOS 8.1.3 last night. Seemed to work fine last night and early this morning.
Now my touch screen is unresponsive. I can swipe up to reveal Control Center and swipe down to reveal Notifications - but can't interact with them.
I can't shut off my phone (can't swipe across after holding down the Sleep/Wake button). Is it worth doing a hard reset? Anybody else having this problem with an iPhone 6?

I did a hard reset. Seems to be working...for now...

IPhone 3G touch screen unresponsive

Hi, so my iPhone 3G has been working greets until this evening when the row of icons above the dock wouldn't respond to my touches. The area is completely un responsive in the home screen but when i go to the notes key board only the J and N won't respond. Additionally in my settings menu i cant click on anything in that same area but when i go into photos or calendar the area is responsive. I tried apples touch screen diagnostic by going into the calculator and found that 4,5,6 and + are partially unresponsive. I'm not sure if this is a software or hardware issue so any input would be great.

Have you tried the basics from the manual?
Restart.
Reset.
Restore.

Upper right hand corner of iPhone 4 touch screen unresponsive - Is there anyway to turn on cellular data?

A small portion (upper right hand corner) of my iPhone 4's touch screen is unresponsive. Now, I cannot change some of the settings since it won't respond. I am on an out of the country trip and I really need to turn on Cellular data.
Is there anyway I can change the phone settings from my macbook? Or maybe rotate the settings page so that it would show as landscape and I can turn on cellular data since the other areas of the touchscreen is working.
Thank you very much!

Here's my suggestion:
On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Cellular (where you would turn on cellular data if you could).
You can actually scroll that menu down a bit so the "Cellular Data" button is not necessarily in the far upper right corner of the screen. Hopefully you can scroll it down far enough that you can successfully set it.

IPhone 5 Touch Screen Unresponsive?

Hello, today while I was at school, my iPhone just became unresponsive. I can't clearly remember whether I was using it or not. I came to notice the screen on my iPhone 5 was opened (slightly lifted on the corner) so I pushed it in and it snapped right back, however it refused to work. The home and power button however still does work.
I have been unable to back up my iPhone 5 since iTunes wouldn't let me backup unless my phone was unlocked which I currently can't do. My friend are telling me that there is a chance that something got disconnected when the screen came up?
My dad said he'd take me to the Service Center here in Korea tomorrow, but I was wondering if replacing the screen will do any harm or damage to my data?! The last time I backed up was over 40 days ago since I got a new computer and never set my iPhone 5 up with this one.
If at all helps, I am currently using iOS 7 Beta 6.

Then you should be posting in the Developers forum, iOS 7 is not released to the general public. This is a general public support community.

I updated my iPhone 5 yesterday to iOS 8.1.3, now the touch screen isn't responding, keeps opening aps and then get stuck.

Touch Screen unresponsive after iOS 8 update

My 1 year old 64GB iPhone 5 touch screen started to become unresponsive after iOS 8 update
It's not consistent. Touch screen functionality will seize whilst phone is being used for either answering calls, typing messges, surfing, gaming etc and won't become responsive until it is turned off and on again (via power button). Home button is functioning with no problems.
As the phone is now out of its warranty period I want to verify if it's the OS that's causing this or do I actually have a hardware issue.

I have the same issue. iPhone 5, 1 year-old, not even a scratch.
Sometimes my touch screen works, sometimes not. When it works, it is just for some seconds, then some phantom touches start to happen all over the screen, but specially, when i'm typing, it types z or m, when I try to type something in, and it receives it, it will act as z or m again....
If I switch off my screen and switch on again... sometimes it will work, sometimes it wont... veeery unstable.
I considered downgrading to 7.1.2 but since I heard it is ilegal I decided to wait for a new iOS release.... any suggestions? (already wiped it and the issue continued...)
Is it really not recommended to downgrade it and have my phone funcionalities back?

ok my iphone 3g touch screen is not responding, i can recieve calls and it can charge and connect to itunes, but i cannot go any further than using the home button or the power button, it is only the slide feature and touch feature that has become non existent. Also, i have a f'ew cracks in my screen for a while now and it was running smoothly up until saturday when i sat on it applying large amounts of pressure to the phone screen. Is there a way i can fix this myself without having to recover my phone to factory settings or wasting 50 bucks to get it fixed??

IOS 7 making touch screen unresponsive

Since updating to iOS 7 my iPhone 5 touch screen has become intermittently unresponsive. It was fine and normal in iOS 6 and was refurbished less than a month ago (my lock screen wasn't working and I got the phone replaced). How do i solve this problem? The phone will often times not respond to any sort of touch making swiping, typing, and holding something down impossible. It has been like this since updating to iOS 7 when it came out more than a week ago.

Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

My iPhone 4S touch screen is unresponsive and my Sleep/Wake button is also unworking.

Hi. I have been having this bro;em yesterday and also today when i woke up. My Verizon iPhone 4S touch screen is un responsive sometimes then it workes other times. My Sleep/WAke button also doesnt work. My phone thinks that my sleep button is always being pushed so if my touch sreen is working i can do anything becuase my phone puts it self to sleep when i unlock it. I was on IOS 5.0.1 and then updated to IOS 5.1.1 thinking that this would help me but i didnt. I really need some help. Thanks in advance.

A Restore is more thorough than an update. Try to Restore with iTunes on computer. If still problem, all iPhone 4S have full warranty, make Genius Appointment and return to Apple for resolution.

Is anyone with a Macbook experiencing interference with their iPhone's touch screen?

At first I thought my iPhone's touch screen was broken so I contacted apple. Before we could finish our chat, my internet crashed and we couldnt finish. Tonight I'm on my MacBook air wathcing Netflix and trying to use my iphone to text. The interference is so bad that when i hold my thumb on the screen in one spot, the phone will scroll for itself and typing is practically impossible. Is anyone else expierencing this problem? This problem didn't exist with my 4, But when I use my computer, my 5S is practically impossible to use near my Mac.

Nope.

My iphone 5 touch screen seems to have a mind of its own. Please help

My iphone 5 touch screen seems to have a mind of it's own. Whilst I am trying to type a text message it will quite often whilst i'm tapping on letters, typr different letters, or open up the edit messages to select and delete messages.
The screen can quite often take up to 5 attempts to use the home button when the phone it locked to bring up the swipe to unlock, and even then sometimes it will take 4 or more attempts to swpie to unlock.
Most recently I was on FB chatting and whilst typing, the letters were all coming out completely wrong, and then it was taking me into completely different screens, screens that whilst i'm tapping letters at the bottom on the screen, i'd have to ne touching a button at the top of the screem to actualy get into - yet my phone is doing it on it's own.
It has even whilst sittig next to me on the bed, scrolled from my "home page" to the next page over ???
i have spoken to Telstra who suggested a network restore, this did nothing. They suggested doing a back up, the a complete restore, which I am hesistant in doing as I have a fear of losing everything on my phone esxpecially my contacts, despite having done a back up.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Restart your iPhone...
Hold down the sleep / wake button until you see the red slider then swipe to power off. Then hold down the sleep / wake button until you see the Apple logo.
Try the keyboard. If that doesn't help, try force quitting the app you are using when the keyboard becomes unusable.
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then press and hold the Home button until the app quits.

Iphone 5 touch screen freezes, is my iPhone defective?

My iPhone 5 touch screen frequently freezes. If I leave it alone it will be OK in a couple of minutes. Is this a common problem or do I have a defective iPhone?

I have a similar problem, but waiting does not solve it. If I cycle the power button it will work again, but it keeps happening and it is really annoying. I have had the phone since it came out, and only started haveing this problem in the last couple of days. I have tried a reset -- makes no difference.

IPhone 6 touch screen spazzing out

My new iPhone 6 touch screen randomly goes nuts. At first it was just a dead spot on the screen where the y key was located, it wouldn't let me touch anything there, then this issue stopped abruptly. Now it's just doing stuff on its own, opening apps and rapidly going from one app to another when I barely even touch it. (For instance, I opened Facebook and it randomly selected a person's status, jumped back to the newsfeed, went back to the status, copied someone's comment, went to search and pulled up a new person's profile, closed, opened YouTube, then I locked it and unlocked it to find Safari open. All within a few seconds.) I tried a hard reset, and the issue is persisting. I'm starting to hate this thing. It's such a nice phone, except for all this. Anything I can do, or do I just have to complain to the Verizon store and have them send me a new one?
