IPhone 4 possessed

Since upgrading the software on my iPhone 4 to 5.0.1, I have had problems with the screen being very unresponsive and at times it seems to be possessed. It flicks from app to app at one time calling Apple HO and deleting e mails. I have restored the phone on iTunes but it hasn't made ant difference. Help!

Made an appointment to see Genius in store over weekend and guess what - phone now working perfectly!! Should I still go or cancel and see what happens (don't want to waste their time but don't want to be stuck over Christmas with a phone going mad)?

  • Is my iPhone possessed?

    Basically my iPhone is pretty much on it's death bed. Not only are the cracks visible, but also the small chip on the left hand corner of the screen. On top of all that my lock button is jammed which doesn't help at all. I took it to Apple hoping they would change it as it's under warranty. However, those idiots decide to charge me 150 due to the small chip. NOW today my iPhone has suddenly started to control itself by asking me to 'slide to power off' each minute without me having to do anything. This is bad as it now cuts off calls due to wanting to turn off randomly. Can anyone out there help to fix this issue? As in, is there a way to disable the power off button?

    There isn't a way to disable the Sleep Button (power button).
    However depending on how long it's been, it might be out of your way, but you should take it back to Apple and complain that they didn't fix it (which they obvisouly didn't) and should fix/replace it without charging your more.

  • Is my iPhone alinve (self dialing)?

    Alright, I am not crazy!
    My wife received 2 calls in a row placed from ... my pocket!
    I thought, ok, maybe i accidentally dialed when I put my phone in my pocket...
    But right now, as my iPhone is laying by my side, not touching anything, I see him suddenly dialing a friend of mine!!!!!!
    Am i waking up from a sweet dream to discover the truth?
    The iPhone was too good to be true?
    I want to go back to sleep...
    Any one had the same problem or is my iPhone possessed?

    oh sorry, i misunderstood your question !
    well then my guess is the Contact app ? despite it's capabilities i do use this as a phone & little else ( no iCloud, no emails, no internet except if i REALLY need to - i find the screen way too small for everyday use..)
    besides maybe i should've added that when it ''edits'' said contacts, they also appear edited in the Contact app ?...

  • TS1702 after upgrading my 4s to iOS6, my iTunes and AppStore icon apps disappeared? how can I download them again?

    How can I re-download the iTunes and AppStore apps?

    Hi & sorry to butt in  it's just that I've got a similar problem with my iPhone4S, only my Restrictions are set to "OFF!" with a pass code  barring & cannot remember password to turn them "ON"   I can't afford to start my iPhone to an afresh state because my contacts etc are a valued part of my own run business,I would rather have "no Apps" than "no contacts" Please could u tell me...if I try your theory of: Settings > General > Reset Home Screen Layout...Would this return my Apps badge or not? or would I risk losing something else by doing so? Thats if any of the above options are at all possible with the restriction settings & forgotten code my iPhone possesses
    kind regards
    Ællis.

  • I received a notification on my iphone recently that "Leroys Ipad" is now using my phone number for Imessage. The problem is the Ipad is in possession of my ex girlfriend and we no longer communicate. How do i receive Imessage on my Iphone only?

    I received a notification on my Iphone recently that "Leroys Ipad" is now using my phone number for Imessage. The problem is that i no longer have that Ipad but my ex girlfriend does and we no longer communicate. How do i receive Imessage on MY PHONE ONLY or delete other devices not in my possession from my messages?

    You need to change your Apple ID password.  You could login to Find My iPhone and wipe that iPad if you felt the need to do so.

  • How to delete an imported photo album from IPhone when the computer used is no longer in my possession

    I imported some photos from my macbook to my iPhone. I no longer need them and I can't figure out how to remove them from my phone. I no longer have the laptop that I imported these photos from.

    Then your only option to remove these photos from your phone is to restore your device as NEW.

  • A iPhone 4S (currently in possession of it) was dropped into the ocean and we can get it into DFU and recovery mode, but we can't get it to go to the lock screen or home screen the phone just gets stuck on the apple symbol, how can I fix this?

    Hey, apparently this iPhone 4S was dropped into the ocean and the light for the camera and a light where the 3G/4G bar is are both glowing. The iPhone 4S, I assume, was on iOS 5.1.1 I need help getting off info from it WITHOUT RESTORING IT. I'm not sure if Apple has any third party apps that they are allowed to suggest to us or if I'm on my own on this one, but if you guys can help I would greatly apperciate it.
    Thanks!

    Those are definitely features of liquid damage. First step after completely drying the iPhone would be battery replacement. The camera circuitry and proximity sensor circuitry are surging because you are seeing these lights.
    New battery may get this booted back up so you can recover data, or even get the iPhone working again.

  • My iphone is possessed. Lockscreen lights alone

    I received a new iphone 4 (the previous was broken)
    I installed the ios 7.1.1 and restored my icloud apps.
    When I lock the screen, 10 to 20 seconds after, the screen turns on and 1 seconds after turns off. This happens continuously until the battery runs out.
    I've restarted the device twice and the same happens.
    HELP...

    I did as advised but the problem still persist. The curious thing is that the problem does not exist when the iphone is charging the battery. ????

  • My iPhone is possessed

    For the past four weeks my iPhone has been dialing numbers across the US letting it ring once or twice and then hanging up.  People are calling saying they missed my call.  In other cases the number is called multiple times upsetting the person because they think I'm playing games.  I have called Verizon, we switched to a new phone and I've been calling Apple support.
    We thought maybe it was an app with a virus so phone was reset as new with no apps but the basic installed apps on board and I'm still getting call backs since resetting it to new. Have had calls from CA, SC, TX and NY.  These are the ones returning my call.  God knows how many received a call but ignored it.
    I am so frustrated.  Anyone have this happen to them?  Any solution?
    Right now I think the only solution left is change the phone number.  I love my iPhone but I hate upsetting folks and having them call thinking I'm playing games.  I'm too old for that.
    If anyone has an idea please pass along.  Enough is enough.

    You may have no choice. Someone has hacked the phone system and chosen your phone number as the one they are forging in the caller ID display. Stopping them may be very difficult for the phone company. Heck, they don't even necessarily have ot hack the system, just forge the caller ID. Hunting them down could be extremely difficult if not impossible and they probably aren't in the U.S. anyway, meaning there is nothing realistic that can be done.

  • My phone is possessed, every other day I have to delete the same app,. I find I'd on my list on my iPhone, although its not on my iTunes list!!! As if it is a virus. It shortens my battery life too.

    This is happening to my old iPhone too, so I guess it's a sync related issue, when I delete it a message comes out asking me that I'm deleting this bookmark, not an app, but can't find it's origin

    But could the user of the phone just turn on iCloud themselves and get the private notes I wanted to keep from them? Is there a way to permanently delete them from the old phone without deleting from the new phone?

  • IPhone 5 acting possessed.

    This problem just started a few hours ago. Every time I go and watch a video on YouTube, my music starts playing for a few seconds and then will stop. After this started happening, I just decided to listen to music and the song I was listening to randomly stopped, then sped up, and then stopped again. I would even go  and kill the music and YouTube app but this problem kept occurring. All of this happened with my headphones in. It seems to be ok without my headphones. My iPhone have does have an update available and the phone is close to full. I've had my iPhone 5 for about a year give or take. I have no recently dropped my phone or got any water on it nothing on the phone is broken and I've never had any problems with the phone. Thanks!

  • My Iphone 5 is acting possessed, what should I do?

    I got my iPhone 5 almost a month ago. The moment I opened the box and used it, the screen won't respond to any touch. And after a while, it would suddenly move on its own like opening apps, playing music and typing messages. So with that, I decided to hand it back to my carrier and have it checked. After three long weeks of waiting, they gave it back to me and told me that there was no problem found. After two days since I got it back, the same problem occured.
    It's really frustrating. I hope you guys can give advice.

    reset all settings
    settings-general-reset-reset all settings
    now reconnect to wifi
    settings- wifi- click network name- enter password - join
    if issue persists back up and restore as new via iTunes
    Peace, Clyde

  • My Iphone is possessed. It turns things on without me even touching it and has deadspots on the screen. I also have to bang it while on the phone so people can hear me :/ think I'm in need of a replacement. But how? is the question

    Crazy Iphone and in need of a replacement. But how do I go about getting one? Living in a rural area with no apple store .. :/

    Pick up the phone and call. You can have one shipped to you.

  • My IPhone is possessed! PLEASE HELP!

    I've had my IPhone since July and have never had a problem with it...until recently. About a month ago, when putting my phone into sleep-mode (pressed the top button, but not holding down to turn it off completely) my phone made this bizarre chirping noise. It kept doing this until I completely turned off my phone and hasn't happened since. This morning, I went to check my mail and my phone vibrated, alerting me that I had new mail. Well my phone has not stopped vibrating since then. It had stopped vibrating when put into sleep mode a couple times, but when turned back on it continued to vibrate continuously. I've completely turned it off and now have restored it with no avail.
    Has this ever happened to anyone else? What do I do? It is SO annoying!

    It sounds like a malfunction in the hardware, i would take it back to the apple store and let the genius's take a look at it and most likely replace it.
