IPhone 3G touchscreen issues

I woke up the other day to find that my iphone 3g touchscreen was not responsive, as in screen is perfectly fine, and phone starts up fine, but does not let me slide to unlock or shut down... so tried a hard reset of the phone by holding down the home and power button to no avail...the i backed up phone and tried restoring it but still nothing... any ideas of what it could be? i read online that it my be the digitizer and if so is that covered under original warranty?

Exactly i have the same problem from Day 1 when i upgraded my Iphone 3g and Ipad to ios4.2
iPhone 3G and iPad shows the same behaviour. When i plug-in to it's respective wall adapter it will show charging for couple of mins and then go off charge. When i check after couple of hours beliveing that it would have full charged i can see that it has charged some 5% more.
But when connected to PC, charging works perfectly.
Someone please shed light on this, is it a known bug on iOS4.2?

Iphone 5 touchscreen issue with iOS 7 update

I downloaded the upgrade the day it came out and there were no issues for the first few days. Then about a week later my touchscreen started wigging out. I would not even touch the screen and letters no where near where my finger was would start being typed into the box. I could not select anything on the screen cause it would scroll and select other things, and I was having issues with closing out the apps.
I am averaging 3-5 hard reboots a day and the soft reboots don't seem to have any effect on it.
When I do the hard reboots, it will work for just a few min and then do the same as before.
I restored the phone back to factory settings and redownloaded the phone and I didnt think that I was going to get the password in for the apple ID cause it was doing the same as before. No dropping or wetting of the phone has occurred. I was also able to update to the 7.0.2 and this did nothing.
Anyone have any suggestions or having the same problems?

I have these issues, on both my iphone 5 and ipad using ios7.0.2 (and all apps have been updated also. I am actually amazed that this forum is not full of complaints about this, such are the number of issues and regularity of their occurrence! I have spoken to friends who also experience freezing, crashing and an erratic touchscreen since updating to ios 7.
The issues (on both iphone 5 and ipad) can be summarised as follows: 1- touchscreen behaves erratically, keyboard use and scrolling in pages no longer as easy as before. 2- apps crash, regularly, particularly mail and calendar. I have linked both mail and calendar to office 365 and wonder if this is anything to do with it? Have to close and restart the app in order to resolve. 3- the whole os crashes & freezes requiring a hard reboot.
I wish I could reinstall the previous os!

IPhone 5 touchscreen issue

My iPhone 5 will not unlock normally. I have to press the top button numerous times for the touch screen to respond. This means that I am unable to answer phone calls unless my phone is already unlocked. I have tried restarting/restoring but nothing helps. What should I do?

If you restored the device as new, without adding additional content, and the touchscreen is still not responding, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple store to have the hardware checked.
I just read this again. You say you have to press the sleep/wake button several times to get the screen to respond, but you can answer a call if the device is already unlocked? What happens if you tap the home button? Are you saying that tapping the sleep/wake button will not awaken the screen? If you tap the home button, does the screen awaken so you can slide to answer?

IPhone 5 Touchscreen Issues??

Ever since I took my phone off of airplane mode after getting of a plane, the touch screen has been acting up.
When I press the lock button to unlock my phone the touchscreen seems to be locked so i have to lock and unlock again in order to put in my password. Also, sometimes when im trying to type the touchscreen is clicking other letters which i then have to lock my phone again and unlock for it to go back to normal. Anyone having the same problem and a solution??

Hello. This may be an anomaly with your phone as it seemed to be with mine. My touchscreen wouldn't respond if the ambient temperature got down to the mid-50s F. The promised ambient temperature range for operation is 32 to 95 F so I brought mine to an Apple store. They didn't know how to test the issue so they replaced the device. The replacement did not behave the same way and I even put it in a plastic bag in refrigeration for a few minutes (38 F or so) and it still functioned normally. This lead me to believe the issue was just an anomaly with the first phone. I would recommend calling Apple Customer Care beforehand, as they may be able to save you the hassle of dealing with the tech 'geniuses' at a store.

Iphone 5s touchscreen issue after IOS 8.0.2

Hi All,
I've been having an iPhone 5s for a year and ever since i've updated to IOS 8.0.2. My iPhone touch screen has became unresponsive. It happens after i unlock my phone and it just gets unresponsive. It could happen after a few seconds of usage of any app or just messaging. It has become really frustrating. The only way I could get it back on working was to lock and unlock my phone.
I've tried restarting my iPhone, and ask restoring my phone with a new Set up. But the same issue arises.
The only thing i have not tried was to check if there was some connectivity issue inside the phone. My warranty was over end of september and I do not wish to pay for a replacement fee as It be a better option to get a new one.
My phone specs:
Iphone 5s 64GB Silver.
IOS 8.0.2
Memory Used35.3 GB

I Hope there's an fix for this. And hopefully it's the software problems.

Touchscreen issues if not touching iPhone frame!

Hi all,
I´m experiencing a major issue with the iPhone 4 Touchscreen:
As soon as I lay down the iPhone on any surface and trying to open an app
or make an entry or so with one finger, the Phone often just doesn´t react!
Sometimes it works but most of the time it does not.
Only if I touch the frame, everything is working perfectly.
Is anyone having the same problems? And @apple support: How to solve the issue?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Paul

@iMatt.co.tv: Just keep your senseless comments for you, if you don´t understand
the question!
And if someone didn´t understand (like underexposed iMatt does), I´m talking
about the steel frame, that needs to be touched so that my Phone accepts the
touch command.
It seems as if this is a grounding problem, because as soon as I plug the Phone
to a grid (either on the Mac or a plug socket) it works fine.
By the way, a FW Update didn´t solve the issue and a friend´s iPhone 4 doesn´t
have this problem, so I guess I´m going to exchange a 2 day old iPhone.
I´m curios how often I have to change this one...my iPhone 3G has been changed
3 times during 2 years.
Thanks for HELPFUL replies.

Touchscreen issue since IOS 5.1

Is anyone else having problems with the touchscreen since installing IOS 5.1? It seems like the calibration is off.
I am also unable to install apps. Ive tried restoring and soft resets but nothing seems to work.
Am I the only one? or does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

Sorry -- no fixes for you but I, too, am experiencing this problem with my iPod Touch 4th gen. I even did a restore and reinstall from iTunes to see if there had been in installation issue (I had an installation issue over wi-fi where the Apple logo appeared with an empty progress bar for most of an hour). After a couple of re-boots it finally kicked in but with the touchscreen issue. The restore didn't resolve anything. Kinda got a gut feel like the updates for the Ipad 3 screen resolution is what is causing the problem on the small screen of the iPhone/iPod. My iPad 1 isn't having any issues. I don't know if my wife's iPod is problematic or not. Both her iPad 1 and iPod 4 were updated last weekend but haven't heard any reports.

Taken Aback- touchscreen issue

I have enjoyed and supported this company's products and services for some time. So, today when I inquired with tech support about my touchscreen issue (non working band of the screen ..the 456 area on the dialpad)...I was taken aback at the very least that I should send my phone in for repair and then PAY for a loaner. hmmm..I just paid 700 for a phone that is now handicapped two months later by what seems to be a common issue, accourding to the forums, and I should fork over some more $$$? Principle alone may make me dust off my Blackberry.

these kind of comments are just besides the point. there is a degree of company loyalty that is ok, but this is a clear shortcoming of Apple's understanding of the mobile market. I am a huge Apple fan (have had Macs for more than 20 years, I had a Newton, and now the iPhone), but I have also had about 30 mobile phones over the last 15 or so years. And I have to say that I have never had a phone before that broke, that needed repair. Or that broke just by falling down (that is what happened to my iphone, one fall out of 1.5 feet and the screen is cracked). What Apple has to understand is that the mobile phone market is not the computer market. Phones have to work and have to survive some everyday punishments, otherwise they are just nice looking but otherwise useless devices. Just take a look at Palms and Blackberrys, the thing about them is that they work, just like Nokias and in the past Ericsson's.
Your post sounds more like marketing text than real person text.

Iphone 4s touchscreen stops responding after a minute or so, I then have to wait at least a minute before the touchscreen works again but soon after it stops responding. I have tried hard reset, turning it off over night, etc

Hello,
I had that problem as well and the apple support suggested to turn off the LTE-mode to have a running system and try to exchange the micro-sim by my provider.
THAT was not an option!
BUT it seems to solve my problem in the following way after trying a lot of possibilties:
In the menue properties/help (don't know the exact english word, because I run my phone in german)
I switched on the nice feature 'flash LED' by incomming calls, msgs, and push infos.
Today the flash feature was responding to different push notes very slowly.
By switching this feature off the LTE-mode-tochscreen-not-responding-problem disappeared.
We tried this on a other iphone, not having the metioned problem, and switched the LED-flash:
the problem appeared. Switching the LED-flash off: problem disappeared!
It seems to be a bug that the LED will hint Calls and MSGs in combination with the LTE mode!
treated my phone very hard today to double check, but its still ok.
@Apple:
Please fix that issue in the next update.
Hope, this helps you guys as well.

Very Strange Touchscreen Issue

I recieved and activated my new 8GB iPhone about two days ago and it worked great up until just a few hours ago. I am experiencing the known issue of the bottom 1/2 inch or so of the touchscreen not responding to my touch, which in turn is affecting a lot of main elements of the phone such as SMS, e-mail, iPod, etc. Among that issue, I also encountered a very strange occurrence whilst I was testing the 'dead zone' on my iPhone: Certain sections of the dead zone work if I hover my finger about 2 -3 centimeters from the screen. It is a very strange thing but true, lol. I can even capture video footage of this if it's necessary.
Since I bought my iPhone from an AT&T store, should I return it to them for a new one on the spot or should I do it through Apple? I hope it doesn't come down to the latter since I do not live anywhere near an Apple Store (New Orleans, LA) and I just switched from T-Mobile to AT&T so I'd really hate to purchase a cheap temporary phone while my iPhone is being replaced/fixed.
Edit: Have a Merry Christmas, everyone!

I just talked to Apple Support and they are going to repair it for me, it's just I need to wait til Friday since I am broke from Christmas! Once I get paid, then I can dish out the 30 dollars to get a rental iPhone to hold me over. The restore temporarily fixed the touchscreen issue since it happened again hours later.
Also, nobody I know who would have a spare AT&T phone doesn't come to mind so I can't just borrow a phone and start the repair process now, but the wait isn't too bad. At least they do not limit the iPhone rental to just physical Apple Store customers!
Thanks for the help, folks. :V

IPhone 5 Calendar Issue: January 1, 1995

I flew from the Eastern Time Zone into Central Time Zone, which is my home time zone, this afternoon, and tonight my iPhone 5 is telling me the date is January 1, 1995. Can anyone help explain why this is happening, and/or how to fix it? It sometimes switches back to the correct date, but only for a minute or less. I have restarted my phone twice and it has not worked, even when I kept my phone off for over an hour. When the date is January 1st, 1995, I cannot send texts, or go onto the internet, or use any apps using data. PLEASE HELP!!
Much thanks

Changed Apple ID password and now Iphone 6 having issues

I had to reset my password when signing into my apple ID and now my Iphone is having issues. I can not use imessage. Under settings, It will not allow me to turn it on. Also under settings my facetime and iCloud are greyed out. I can using os8.1.2 What am I missing?

I had the exact same problem and this solution from another thread worked for me:
"I was able to fix it by entering another email address even though it was wrong/invalid. Once I got the "incorrect email/password" message I then re-entered my actual apple ID and it finally took it. Make sure FaceTime is enabled and working first."
In the FaceTime App, I entered a fictitious Apple ID and password. Then it actually signed me out. After that, I entered my AppleID and my new password and it did verify my email address.

It seems after the latest software update, my iphone 4 has issues with the phone and voicemail locking up as well as opening random apps. Any thoughts?

Hi clintfromid,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend closing all your apps and restarting and maybe resetting as good initial troubleshooting steps for this:

I am frequently experiencing Iphone 5 camera issues, while taking photos all of the sudden the camera going to hang mode

Hi,
Greetings !!!
I would like to know what is the root cause of Iphone camera hanging ?
I am very frequently experiencing Iphone 5 camera issues like while taking photos all of the sudden the camera going to hang mode with full of pink & black line.

I went to apple services server with this problem & they said they didn't see any errors.
Kindly response with my request, and provide me the solution.

That often happens with cameras when you take pictures of a computer screen. LCD screens "flicker" and the camera will often catch the flicker.
