IPhone 3GS calibration off when texting

I have this problem about every 5-7 texts I send, or if they're long texts, every other one. The screen thinks I'm typing 2-3 letters off.. never the same letters and sometimes at wierd angles. I updated my software a couple weeks ago and started having this problem. Reset and reupdated, still having it. Anyone know a fix? If I back out of messaging and go back in it fixes it usually doing it once or twice. I've tried rebooting the phone and everything. Help!

This seems to be the subject of a problem notified By Topic - iPhone 3GS 32GB touch screen randomly stops/starts working
by what appears to be a good few of you, so it seems I may be one of the many to have a bit of a temperamental dud!
I will hold out for now but forsee a trip to the Genius Bar coming on!

  • Iphone 3gs turns off when attending any call or replying to any text message

    it shuts off when calls are attended or whenever any work is done that is related to sim card. It keeps on shutting when sim is inserted. While if I pull out the sim card, then the phone works fine. It never turns off if sim is not inserted or if it is on Airplane mode.
    I had changed the sims that i'm inserting but of no use.

    These features are most common due to faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

  • Why does my iPhone 3GS turn off when the battery charge is only as low as 70%?

    After my iPhone 3Gs has been fully charged, whenever that charge drops to the 50% to 70% range, the phone turns off.  When I try to turn it on again, the Apple icon appears the first few times, followed only by a blank screen each time -- the home button does nothing.  Beyond those times, when I try to awaken it, I can see a faint design that includes a plug, a red battery and suggests it is out of charge.  This also happens if I depress the awake and home buttons concurrently.

    Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
    My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem.  Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source.  Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all.  In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
    Is there any help for this affliction?

  • Iphone 3GS randomly freezing when texting..

    I'm not sure if this is the start of an issue with my 3GS iphone or not. I know these things are a bit random and a few problems are to be expected.
    But I've recently noticed (3 times on the trot today) when texting on the messages application that the phone occasionally becomes unresponsive and the touch pad freezes.
    It's usually rectified just by hitting the refresh / sleep button but is this something others are experiencing or should I take a wander to the Apple shop at some stage just to be sure it's not a problem?
    I will be keeping an eye on this for future reference...

  • My iPhone 3Gs shuts off when I try to use the red eye remover in the phot edit option after I got the latest upgrade

    When attempting to edit a phot I pushed the red eye removal tool. The iPhone went black and the apple logo appeared. I had to hold down the power button for about 5 seconds to turn it back on but it never completely shut off this happened the next 3 times as well. It happened after I updated to 5.1

    Are you running modified software on your phone?  This error seems to be common if the firmware has been modified and you're trying to restore the phone again.

    simply try doing a back up and restore
    when going thru the activation screen, select SET UP AS NEW and then test your device. if it is not shutting down then it could be 1 or more apps tht have been downloaded wch could be affecting the device
    you will then need to follow the process of eleimnation, meaning add 2 apps and then monitor your phone, if nothing happes then add another couple of them and then check
    good luck !!

  • My iPhone 3GS turned off suddenly

    My iPhone 3GS turned off suddenly and when i switched it on it give me that there is no battery then when i charge it i fined that the battery between 60% to 30% i have tried to restore it but the same problem came out
    i bought my iPhone 3GS since Apr 2010

    This sounds like the same problem i'm having.  I have to upgrade my os to most current.  Really don't want to do a restore.  I've read another post from someone who's problem seemed the same as mine and it was actually the battery.  After having battery replaced, it worked fine.  Whatever the problem actually is, I hope it won't cost a lot to fix. 

  • My iphone 3gs is off and wont start up.

    My iphone 3gs is off and wont start up. And when plugg it into the charger it starts up for a minute and shut down. but whithout charger dosnt do anything. Cant restore and it is not a battery problem.

    Sure sounds like faulty battery.
    Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer, hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the Firmware.

  • HT1386 I have just rceived an upgrade to an iPhone 3GS. Now, when I visit the Store all the prices are in US dollars, not a big problem but I cannot edit my card details or contact to a UK address. I cannot see how to change this.

    Hi Roger
    Thank you for your reply.
    My original feed is: http://casa-egypt.com/feed/
    However, because I modified the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast and nothing changed, I redirected it to another feed and then I deleted this feed.
    Is there any way to change the feed in itunes? The only feed I have now is  http://feeds.feedburner.com/CasaEgyptStation
    I tried to restore the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast but feedburner refused.
    I know that I missed things up but I still have hope in working things out.
    Thanks is advance.

    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs shut down when battery gets to 80%?  have installed new battery and nothing changes?

    Why does my iphone 3gs shut down when battery shows 80%.  a couple of months ago is shut down at 60% but has continually gotten worse.  this was before 5.0.  i took it to a repair man and he tried a used battery, a new battery, and the original battery.  nothing helped.  5.01 didnt help either.  What is my problem?

    Fully discharge the battery (till it shuts down and won't turn on) and then fully recharge it (100%).  This will recalibrate the battery meter.  You may need to do this a few times.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order.

    Turn it on.
    If it will not power on, try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.
