IPhone 3G - horizontal screen problems...HELP!!!!!

I have recently purchased an iPhone 3G (a little over 2 weeks ago) and within the last 3 to 4 days my screen has stopped turning horizontal. Like if I open a picture or the internet and want to turn it horizontal and I turn the phone, it won't turn anymore. Have I changed a setting somehow? HELP

You may have a malfunctioning accelerometer. Call U.S. iPhone technical support: 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466) and they can help you troubleshoot and arrange repair/replacement.

IPhone 5 touch screen problem?

Here's the thing... I've saw several forums and YouTube videos about the iPhone5 touch screen problem. I have the same problem too. But it seems that this happens when it's near a running laptop or a computer. Can anyone explain why this happens or is it just my phone? If this is just my phone problem, what should I do?

i restored as a new. I am facing following problems :
1. if iphone is locked then it won't get unlocked. I need to swipe/restart many times to unlock it. or need to use siri to unlock it.
2. after unlocking iphone, it will work normally for few mins then there is some abnormal behaviour in its working.
for e.g some applications will open without actually opening it. some applications will close automatically.
3. sometimes suddenly in the middle of work, iphone touch will stop responding.
There is no specific case for above problems. I m facing these issues in the middle of any applications at any moment of time.

Sold my iphone...little problem help me

Sold my iphone...lil problem... Didnt reset cause i had nothin important.. Well i guess i did my contacts. He keeps puttin contacts and i get his contacts when i put my contacts he get mine. In my new iphone. Help me please need to jst reset do i dont get his contacts and icloud is also connected... Im so confused and i kant find him...

Sounds like both phones are signed into the same iCloud account. To fix this:
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data to Off (contacts, calendars, etc.). When prompted choose to keep the data on your phone.
Then scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account (this deletes the iCloud account from your phone).
Create a new iCloud account on your phone with a different Apple ID.
Turn on iCloud syncing again for contacts, etc. in Settings>iCloud.
Got to https://www.icloud.com/ on your computer and delete his contacts. You should no longer get any contacts added by him and he won't get any added by you.
This will fix the immediate issue, but you should still find the buyer as he is still using an iCloud account associated with your Apple ID. He needs to do this same procedure on his phone, creating a new iCloud account with his own Apple ID.

Major iPhone 4s touch screen problems. The screen randomly "quivers" and performs random commands.

The touch screen on my iPhone 4s started flipping out yesterday. When typing in iMessage, it will randomly pause, add strings of letters, go back to list view. In Safari, touching the screen causes the the page to jump around or go "back". Same in apps. Help!
Sent from my iPad

I also made an appointment at the Genius Bar and took my phone in Sunday. The phone didn't exhibit any of the problems described above while I was there but honestly, I'm not sure the guy even checked. We sat down, I described the problem, he went to the back and got me a new phone. According to him, it had a bad touch sensor. We backed my old phone up to iCloud one more time, got the new phone running and restored to my back up, deleted everything off of my old phone, and I was out the door in no time with a new phone, and all of my data.
All tech products will have their share of issues, that's just the way it is. But my experience in the store last Sunday is the reason I won't even consider buying a phone or computer from any company other than Apple.

Nokia 5220 WHITE SCREEN PROBLEM *Help plz*

hello guys ... my phone's (5220) screen has gone White ... !! i have absolutely no idea what the problem is ! i took out the battery and put it back again .. but when i turn it on ..after the nokia logo the screen goes white again !! i cant do anything except for looking at the white screen...! the phone doesnt even turn off until you take out the battery !
I tried to connect it to my PC (via data cable) but the phone does not get connected with the PC suite !! PLZ HELP ME !!

Jimmyireland is right - anything that you could do yourself requires the phone to at least boot up properly, at the moment your phone is like PC with no Windows involved, it can't find its OS to start.
The 5220 is a series 40 phone, there is facility for a forced reboot, it needs its software to be reflashed which is why you need the Nokia service point.

Hi ahmadace360,
Have you performed any sort of software update before this happened? There are two possible things:
1) Software problem - either by corrupt firmware or failed update.
2) Hardware problem
Fixing any of these would require you to send the phone to the Nokia Care Center.

TS3274 I downloaded the new version now my iPad won't move from vertical to horizontal screen. Help?

I downloaded new version & now I can't change screen from vertical to horizontal. Help!

Try a device reset:
*Device reset*
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
Also check your side switch settings:

IPhone 5 Black Screen (Problem different from all the others)

Okay so, i woke up this morning to check the time on my phone which i did, then i unlocked the scren again via my lock button and then my home screen froze. After my homescreen froze the top of part went black then the rest of the screen faded away into darkness. So.. i tried reseting it and nothing.I tried charging it but only the end of the charger that goes into the phone gets hot, not my phone. I tried resetting for 10 secs nothing, 20 nothing. iTunes hasn't recognized that there is an iPhone even in my macbook and i've tried DFU mode, recboot.. i've tried everything and i have no idea what i'm doing wrong. PLEASE HELP. I need my phone and i have no access right now to an Apple Store. Also my phone isn't on, i called it and it went straight to voicemail, the vibrating switch doesn't work either..

It's likely either hacked/jailbroken, or has hardware damage. You can try restoring to factory settings, but that might not work for either of these situations.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Screen Problems HELP!

Every time I make a call my screen will go from the home screen to black, It wont stay on long enough for me to click on anything it basically blinks back and forth between homescreen and black. Is there a way to fix this problem? This problem doesnt bother me until I actually need to use the dial pad and I cant because its blinking. I do have a case for it but I have taken the case off and still have the same results.

thank you for the quick response. I will have to try your suggestion you gave me. If that doesnt work how much would it be to have it serviced? I dont have any apple warrenty I dont believe. I bought the iPhone 4 off a guy off craigslist.

IPhone iOS4 Caused Many Problems, Help Please?

Okay so...
First, I downloaded the software. After 13 hours, it finally finished backing up the phone. Then it started the restore, and had an error. I had to re-restore it around 4 more times for it to work at all. This, of course, was only the beginning of my problems.
I use the TextFree app instead of real texting because I am in Russia and took out my SIM card to avoid getting any charges. In case you are not familiar with it, the app uses internet to text, and worked fine before. I was texting my friend, when all of a sudden, my phone turned off and restarted. I told him this, and he told me that that's one of the three problems people may experience. I didn't mind that occasionally it would restart {although yes, it is very annoying} but now I am facing a new problem. I can't open the Textfree app at all. It crashes every time I open it, and sometimes causes my phone to restart.
Help, anyone?
I know the obvious way to go about this would be to reinstall it...But I really can't afford to lose all the texts on that. I know I'm being silly, but honestly, does anyone know of another way to fix this?
Thanks!

IPhone 3GS On-Screen Keyboard Problem!

The number, space bar and return key on my iPhone 3GS on-screen keyboard is not working until you tilt it to landscape mode! When I tap the number key, it activates the cap key. When I tap the space bar,depending on weather I'm taping the left, middle or right, it will activate the "X, C or B keys, respectively and when I tap the return/done key, it will activate the backspace key! This problem happened suddently about two days ago!
What on earth is the problem and can anyone please help me?
Thank you very much in advance!

Try pushing the "home" button twice rapidly to get the multitasking bar to open. Hold on the icon for the app store for a few seconds until you get the option to close it. Then try reopening it and see what happens. That will probably fix it.

TOUCH SCREEN PROBLEMS IN IPHONE

WANTED TO KNOW IF ANYONE IS EXPERIENCING TOUCH SCREEN PROBLEMS WITH THE UPPER HALF PORTION OF THE IPHONE. IN THE PHONE MODE THE 1, 2 & 3 NUMBERS DO NOT RESPOND TO MY TOUCH. IN THE HOME SCREENS, NOTHING IN THE FIRST ROW OF ICONS RESPONDS TO MY TOUCH.
I HAVE ALREADY RESET, RESTORED AND LOADED THE UPDATED SOFTWARE.
VERY FRUSTRATING. HELP.

When restoring my phone didn't work, I backed up my data and made an appointment at the Apple Store. I went prepared to argue my case as my phone was over a year old (I got it the first day it was out) and didn't do any thing to damage the phone. It just developed this dead spot. I was honest about how long I had the phone and expressed that this was a common problem that is all over the internet and from what I could tell, I wasn't the only one in there for this problem. I was tipped off by a question he asked, "What row went dead?" He obviously had seen this enough times to know that different rows in the home screed went bad. I told him the second row. The conversation went on and somewhere there was some back room talks and they replaced my phone, which was very nice, but I'm betting this doesn't happen all the time. I think I got lucky. Over all I give Apple a 10 out of 10 for Customer Support. I doubt I would be so generous if I had to buy a new phone. I was told at first that it was going to cost me $249.00 to repair the phone, maybe he said $199. At any rate, I would have bought a new G3 instead of getting this one repaired. I tried to get the Apple Care on the replacement phone but they wouldn't allow that. So I have a 90 day warranty right now. I highly recommend that you get Apple Care on the iPhone. I'll be getting it on my next one. I don't know if this phone is new or a refurbished phone. It looks new, but I'm guessing it's refurbished. All in all I'm hoping that Apple realizes this is a problem with the screen and it's a problem that they need to fix or continue to fix when they go bad for no good reason. Well that's been my experience hope yours turns out as well.
