Iphone 5 touch screen buttons do not work

Pretty annoyed and disappointed with my new iPhone 5. First, virtually everytime I try to slide a button in settings to change an option, it won't slide. Touch/slide it light, heavy, make sure my fingers are warm, doesn't matter. Generally can't slide it over until the 5-6th try (or more). More annoying yet, I've apparently burned through 90% of my 1GB of data and I'm only half way through my billing cycle. I've had an iPhone since 6/09 and have only come close/gone over maybe 2x. Read up on the WiFi problem and supposed fix but ended up downloading a free data management app today. What gives??? Don't even get me started on that useless mapping software. Ended up downloading a MapQuest app and have relegated the Apple mapping software to my very last screen. Wish I would have sucked it up, converted my iTunes music and switched to a Droid. Apple is usually such an innovator, but they really dropped the ball on the iPhone 5.

Log in to https://icloud.com/find using your Apple ID. Erase and then disconnect your phone from your account. You can then restore it using iTunes.

My lock screen button is not working and i turned off my iphone with assistive touch. Now i cant turn my phone back on!

I used assistive touch to turn off my iphone, because my lock screen button is not working, so now i cant turn it back on! What i did was, i went to assistive touch, then i held down the lock screen button to turn it off. Now i can't turn it back on.

To turn it back on when you use assistive touch, all you have to do is plug your iphone into a charger and it will power back on

How can you restart or turn off your iPhone if the lock button does not work?

The best way is to let the battery die. Or you can reset the phone settings which restarts everything.

IPhone top sleep/wake button is not working & Apple Logo screen at startup

I have the original iphone. I have two problems, both just happened tonight at the same time. For seemingly no reason just my iphone external top sleep/wake button is not working. I tried powering the phone off and back on. I tried resetting my iphone, and restoring it. I made sure my Iphone software is up to date. None of these remedies have fixed the button. The button doesn't look broken, it pushes in and out, it just doesn't work anymore.
Second problem is, after I power my iphone off and then back on, the Apple logo screen will continue to flash on and off indefinitely. The only way to get my home screen to appear is to connect my iphone to my computer. Then it wants to sync. After syncing it then asks if I want to "power off" or "cancel". Huh, why does is it doing that? To turn my iphone off I am pressing my Home button down until it shuts off, since I can't power off with the top black button. Is that the reason my phone is having the second problem, because I am powering off with the Home button? Could it be my second problem is not a problem?
My iphone 1 year warranty is over. I can't call Apple Care, there is no apple store near me. I need a solution I can do at home myself. Please help. Even if you think the answer is obvious please suggest it to me. Before tonight nothing was wrong with my iPhone. It all started after I let my 6 and 7 year old nephews play with Google Maps on my phone for like 10 minutes - supervised. I consider myself to be a pretty Apple tech savvy guy, yet I can't figure out if they broke my iphone somehow, nor can I fix these two problems. Please help!

Jason,
I'm afraid I have good and bad news. Apple sent me a new original iphone. So that takes care of me but does not take care of the issue for so many people like you. I do not know if you can purchase the Apple Care plan at this time. Look into that. It really is worth it. Apple products require Apple technicians in the rare case the breakdown. Apple did not offer me an explanation of how they'll fix my phone or even saying why they sent me a new one. I synced it with Itunes and all my personalizations and apps are loaded back on it. It's like my old phone only shinyer and probably going to last me longer than the old one.
I found out Apple Care covers the Iphone for 2 years past it's purchase date. So I would think that you could buy Apple Care even if you had it for like a year. Then it would at least cover you until the 2 year mark, which after that we're on our own(?). Please let me/us know if you were able to buy Apple Care protection and if they fixed your problem. I am impressed they got me a new phone so fast. I still love Apple.

Reinstalled Windows 7 home from Windows 8 now touch screen keeps droping (not working)

Had to reload windows 7 home on my TM2 2151nr. Touch screen worked but had to install updates to get the wireless to work. After updates installed touch screen and wireless worked. Got up this am and now the touch screen is no longer working. Check and no other update had been installed had the update option turned off after both the wireless and touch had been working.
I have been trying to get the touchscreen to continue to work after having to install updates for the wireless updates. Reloaded windows not 3 times, but each time the touchscreen function stops working.
What next?

Here are the factory specs for your HP TouchSmart tm2-2151nr Notebook Computer.According to the specs, this model shipped from the factory with Windows bit installed and a means to create your own set of "HP Recovery Discs". Provided you created these discs and used them to return the computer to a "factory like state", all drivers and software should be automatically installed.
If, however, you are using a standard Windows 7 installation disc, you will need to load all drivers yourself. Most HP provides drivers for this model should be located on the HP TouchSmart tm2-2151nr Notebook PC Drivers page. If you are unable to locate some drivers please post the Windows Device Manager's "Hardware Ids" for any missing or unknown devices as shown in the example below;
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

My iphone 3gs on off button does not work. Is there another way to reset the phone?

The on/off button on my iphone 3gs does not work. I cannot shut the phone down to reboot and it is stuck in a no service. I cannot get cell or internet service. Is there another way to reboot the phone? Possibly a soft reset?

The screen goes to voice control. It only recognises the home button not the on/off button. Is there a way to soft reset the phone?

Iphone 5 Lock Screen button doesn't work.

Hi, i have an iPhone 5, and the lock button doesn't work immediatley on press. I have to press it about 5 times for this to work... I'm pretty sure my apple warranty has ran out, is there another way of fixing it?

Use virtual power button. Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > Device > Lock Screen. This can even turn iPhone OFF. To turn iPhone ON, connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

Touch screen on tablet not working - Vista driver issue (self-inflicted)

I recently tried to update some drivers on my HP tx1220us tablet computer using some 3rd party software. Long story short, I messed up the driver to the tablet touch screen. When I try to Calibrate , it says tablet hardware not found. I know it's not a hardware issue because the pc dual-boots and the other O/S side (Win7) works fine. Which driver is the Vista driver for the digitizer hardware? Thanks for any help.

Did you try installing the Touch Driver?
