IPhone 4 lower left screen insensitivity/oversensitivity

Hello,
My iPhone has the lower left part of the screen that became insensitive (some letters can not be typed in sms mode, for example "a, q, w" on a swiss-french keyboard). At some moment it becomes oversensitive and starts entering a large amount of characters even when the screen is not touched. I did the iOS 4.3 update, restarted everything but without success.
Do you have this problem too? Know how to fix it?
@Apple, should I come and visit a genius bar???

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
Try deleting and re-adding the account to the Phone.

  • Lower Left Screen Darker than rest, How to go about repair under warranty?

    Well my lower left screen is darker than the rest of my screen on my 12" powerbook g4. My warranty is good for another 88 days but my problem is that sometimes the darkness goes away - and I'm worried that if I send it in for repair that the darkness won't be showing up and they'll just send it back to me. Is there anything I can do about this? Advice?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Kris.
    Many PowerBook screens can have some form of uneven illumination - but they will normally clear and work 'normally' after it has warmed up. How long does the uneven illumination stay? Unless the problem is evident most of the time, it is quite possible that the screen will be deemed to be within spec. My own experience with the problem, overall, is that it does not get better with time - it either stays the same or gets worse.
    If you do have it inspected (either by an Apple Authorised Service Provider or by AppleCare) then you can prepare it by doing the following:
    1. set the brightness to half
    2. set the desktop background to Solid White in "Desktop & Screen Saver" within System Preferences
    NB. Solid White is just to the right of the last colour, Solid Mint.

  • What does the little bubble with three dots on the lower left side of the Messages screen on my iPhone 4 mean?

    frequently, after messages are exchanged on my iPhone 4 there is a little bubble on the lower left of the message screen that has three dots. What do they mean?

    It means the other person is typing.

    There is a possibility that your digitizer has malfunctioned. I had a similar problem on my iphone 3gs whereas the lower left part of my screen didnt respond to touch at all. Take your phone to an Apple store and have them fix it for you. I fixed my iphone 3gs' digitizer by replacing it myself because my phone was out of warranty, and there arent any Apple stores nearby. But you should definitely take your phone to Apple store and let them fix it for you, because in order to replace digitizer on iphone 4, you really need to be skillful when it comes to phone repairs,and attemting any repairs yourself voids your warranty. Hope I helped. Cheers mate

  • I booted up this morning to find my voice over feature active. A black bar was at the lower left corner of my screen. When I began to click on the users in my login window it would not respond. All that I saw was the black bar saying authentication busy.

    I booted up this morning to find my voice over feature active. A black bar was at the lower left corner of my screen. When I began to click on the users in my login window it would not respond. All that I saw was the black bar saying authentication busy. I was not able to restart, I was not able to switch users, I was not able to shut down. I decided to manually shut down my Mac.  when it booted back up I was looking at the disk utility screen. When I clicked on repair or race it indicated that my hard drive had already been arranged. I was looking at completely formatted drive and I was having to either restore from Time Machine or reinstall lion. I had a back up but why did this happen?

    A possible workaround could be to have the horizontal scroll bar visible all the time.

  • My Screen Is Blurry, Pixilated and Won't Respond To Touch In Lower Left Corner

    I noticed it was sitting in some serious condensation from my icy drink earlier but it was the backside. First the lower left corner started acting strangely and wouldn't respond to touch. The screen looks blurry like I'm seeing double and then it gets slightly pixilated. It hasn't been updated yet to iOS 7.1.2 though. Wondering if I should power down and put it in the rice for 24 hours. I pulled the sim card out and checked the white to see if it turned red. It didn't, but my last phone was water damaged and it also stayed white.

    Has anyone experienced anything like this from just condensation? I'm rice-bagging it for 48 hours just in case. I couldn't find anything like this online.

  • IPhone 5 crashes on iOS 8 and goes to low battery screen

    I was just using my iPhone 5, iOS 8.1.3, and it crashed and went to the low battery screen even though it was 53%. I plugged it in and powered it back on, and it was 53% (iPhone had not lost any charge).
    I don't know what is causing this problem, but it has happened 4 times now.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem, or is it a certain configuration or setting that causes this problem?

    thank you for typing on apple community
    try to reset your phone
    step 1:
    hold the home phone and the power button for 10 seconds
    and turn it back on
    step 2;
    if step 1 don't work back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    step 3
    go under setting
    go to general
    go to reset
    and go to erase all content and settings
    follow that step
    itll erase everything but if you do step 2 itll be saved... and itll show you how to back up also

  • Programs will not open. The button in the lower left corner of the screen continuously blinks.

    Whenever I open Firefox on my other laptop I cannot get into any programs. The icon in the lower left corner of the screen that lets you know when a program has completed loading just blinks constantly.

    Got the exact same problem aswell, finally fed up with it now as i just started up firefox and 14 new windows opened because of this bug, luckily my computer can handle them but someone with a slower processor it would have been a nightmare, needs fixing ASAP.
    Reverting back to 3.6.3 until this issue is solved. (link for anyone wanting to do the same below)

  • Blue screen with large text lower left

    I have a Z935 ultrabook purchased last year with Win 8 OS.  I was doing something, I can't remember what, when I got the blue screen.  In the lower left there was the date and time in large type (3/8 -1/2 inch).  Below this was the 5-bar symbol of a wireless connection indicator.
    In the lower right there was the symbol which, normally, clicked on, would bring up the dialogue Restart, Shut Down, Log Off, or Lock.  Nothing happened, here, however.
    All I could do was to shut down using the physical on/off button. I turned it back on - same thing - same blue screen. I did this several times.  Nothing else worked, no key did anything, no Ctrl-Alt-Del.
    I finally read about using the F12 key on turning back on, and I received a page with the option to Recover, or something like that, and oher options,  i chose Recover, and a screen came up with several options.The first option was Continue normally, and there were options to Restore, Reset, or something like that. I just chose Continue Normally, and everything came up as it was supposed to, and all is OK now.
    Does anyone know what might have caused this screen, or has anyone received one like it - with the time, date, wireless indicator, etc.?
    Thanks very much.
    Solved!

    Many, many reasons for BSOD's, Bob.  Hopefully, there won't be a next time.  However, if a freeze of any kind, BSOD or otherwise, happens again, reset the system by holding DOWN the power button for 10 seconds or until all the indicator lights go out, fan stops and you're sure the computer is off. Turn back on and everything should be back to normal.

  • Ver16.0.2..How can I get rid of an annoying pop up in the lower left of the screen that is difficult to remove. I t began with an update last week.

    The pop up appears with every new tab. It has an extremely small delete "X" icon if you can find it...The pop up interferes visually with every tab and must be carefully manually deleted each time. It is always located in the lower left bottom of the screen. It is a window about 3 inches square. It began last week with an automatic download. I want it removed or I will be swiftly returning to Explorer or perhaps Google Chrome...Thanking you in advance

  • System beep every time I mouse to the lower left hand screen corner

    Can anyone help me with this?
    Every time I mouse to the lower left hand corner of the screen, I get a system beep.
    I am using a Mac Book Pro with a 24 inch Cinema Display attached.
    I do not use Expose or Spaces, I have no hot corners set.
    I have no hot corners set for the screen saver.
    Any suggestions?

    Sounds like the beep I get when I go to the upper right corner, for which I've set the "All windows" in expose. Try this: go to System Prefs >expose&spaces, and set your lower left corner for all windows. Then close system prefs, and throw your mouse into the lower left corner to activate expose. Then go back to system prefs and set that corner for nothing (just the dash). Now try it and see if that beep still happens.

  • Firefox won't load pages and says "Stopped" in the lower left corner of the screen.

    From last night "Latest FF and XP Pro. 2.4 Ghz Celeron, 1 gig RAM. FF will work for a while, then it will stop loading pages and say "Stopped" in the lower left corner of screen. Sometimes I can refresh and the page will load, but 95 out of 100 times I can keep refreshing and it will say "Stopped". Or, the page will partially load and then quit and say "Stopped". I have disabled IPv6 and DNS Prefetching and it is still doing it. IE is doing about the same thing. VERY frustrated. My last PC started doing this and I finally upgraded to a newer one and it was fine for a couple months, but started doing the same recently. Arghhh ... Thanks!"
    Thanks to you who replied last night/this morning. I hit the "solved" button apparently but this from last night-
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/702910#threadId703008
    is not solved. I tried FF 3.5.9 and still have the same problem.
    Thanks again,
    Dave
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == a while back

    You, me and many others (based on threads throughout the net) have this same problem. I've had some peeps at Mozilla take a look, they couldn't find a problem or a solution.
    Here's what I found does work - The problem popped up on me when I upgraded to Firefox 3.63. Uninstall FF 3.63, and install 3.59. You can still download it until end of June or July I think.
    My problems went away with 3.59. Seems to only affect Window users as Mac Firefox 3.63 works fine.
    Also found some threads pointing to ZoneAlarm Firewall, timeout handlers and some upload tools. I don't have ZoneAlarm so I don't think that was the cause, just another victim.
    I wish Mozilla would pull the plug on 3.63, re-package 3.59 as 3.64 and go back to the drawing board until they find out whats wrong.

  • UNABLE TO SEE/ANSWER INCOMING CALLS. Instead, there is a "call status" button in lower left hand corner of screen...

    UNABLE TO SEE/ANSWER INCOMING CALLS. Instead, when there is an incoming call, there is a "call status" button in lower left hand corner of screen...if i try to select the "call status" button, it does not do anything. Is this a reception issue?  Very strange.....please help!!!!
    Post relates to: Treo Pro T850 (Sprint)

    yeah, that's pretty strange. i suggest to try soft reset first and then if it's still showing the same behavior. do a hard reset. that should help. however if it's still acting strange, you call the palm tech support hotline. 1-877-426-3777. they will help you with your sprint treo pro.
