IPhone 5 touchscreen bug

Very often, my touches messes up, when I try to tap on any area of screen (type on virtual keyboard for example), it hits random area around my finger, tap gets triggered even when I am holding my finger about 3-5 mm above the screen (not touching at all).
I tried find some answers in google, but found nothing about that.
Using iphone 5. Sorry for my bad English and thanks.

Backing up and restoring will help isolate the issue definitely
here are the links to back up and restore the device if you get confused call Applecare dont risk your information.

A crucial part of this is that you restore the device as a new device so as to prevent any corruption that might be present in the back up.

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.

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?

Why my iphone produces a bug after it renew for OS5.1.1. The bug is when I use message, type a Chinese word, and then using a releveant word, then the program automately closes. Every time I try the same procedure, it definitely closes.

Nobody knows? Not even administrators?
Please it would be really nice to have help on that to take all the benefit of the remote app.
Thank you very much in advance.

My iphone 5s, touchscreen is not working.

My iphone 5s, touchscreen is not working.
I have tried to reboot, holding home button and on/off. This did not work.
What must I do, I can not access the phone. Alarm is going, I can snooze it with on/off button. (Cant do this every 9 minutes!!!!)

Hi,
This fixed the phone.
Turned phone off, holding on/off button and home button till after apple logo, when it goes black again.
Logged onto iCloud, remove device from Find my iPhone.
Updated ITunes
Plugged phone into computer
Held on/off button and home button till after apple logo, until it went black, then only held home button
Phone goes into recovery mode.
ITunes registers phone as asks if you would like to restore phone to factory settings.
Once restore down, phone worked.
Lost everything other than contacts which were backed up to iCloud. (Lesson learnt - back up device.)
Thank you for your assistance yesterday.

IPhone Keyboard Entry Bug

When using "My Account" (bookmark), there's 2 field to insert.
One is "Wireless Number" and the other one is "Password".
I found out I mistyped one of the number of "Wireless Number"
after typing in 10 characters.
That field is 10 digit(phone # with area code) and I couldn't insert anything.
I mean even "backspace"(erase) didn't work.
Which means I couldn't change anything after typing in 10 characters.
I think it's definitely iPhone keyboard entry bug.
Please fix it ASAP.

Please call 1-800-My-iPhone to report this issue. A friendly Agent can log this and get it to the proper department.

IPhone's Touchscreen non-responsive

Hello,
Just a few minutes ago, my iPhone's touchscreen had suddenly stop working for no apparent reason, even though the home and lock buttons are still functional.
I just don't know why it quit working on me. Unbelievable.
Any help is welcomed.

Have you tried any of the troubleshooting in the manual?
Page 34:
"If something is not working right, restarting or resetting iPhone will likely solve the
problem.
Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and
hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the
same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
For more troubleshooting suggestions, see Appendix A, “Troubleshooting,” on page 131. "

How can I control iPhone without touchscreen?

I want to control the iPhone without using the touchscreen. Specifically, I want a custom app to receive simple commands through pushing of 3 or 4 external buttons. I understand this can be done through the dock pins 12 and 13. I think I would need a microcontroller that would then send input to the app. I just dont understand the technical issues or possiblities with this approach.
Another idea is to use bluetooth connectivity. Once again, 3 or 4 buttons sending 3 or 4 differnet commands to the app. I just want to be able to scroll through options in the app or change a few settings.   Once again, not sure of the technical issues or possiblites with sending input to apps via bluetooth.
For example, my app is a stopwatch. I want one button to start the timer, once button to record laps, one button to scroll through specifics of each lap once completed, and one button to stop the timer.
I also need to understand if I can disable the screen lock so I can avoid the SLIDE TO UNLOCK since I wont be able to access the touchscreen.
I think I will need to jailbreak the phone or work with Apple on hardware accessiblity but I'm just trying to figure out how to accomplish this.

A fix for the iTunes -- iPhone indefinite sync bug

Moderators feel free to move this to the appropriate place. I was having this problem for a while now. I'd connect my iphone and it would sync forever. I'd have to manually abort the sync. This led to stuff never actually syncing, and music disappearing from my iPhone. I did some Googling and came up with some solutions, and I tried one myself and it worked perfectly.
1. In iTunes, go to preferences, then go to Devices. Make sure the box is checked, that says "Prevent iPhones, iPods, and iPads from syncing automatically. Press OK.
2. If your iDevice is already connected, and already "infinitely syncing" you will have to manually stop the sync at this time. If not, connect your iDevice.
3. Still in iTunes, click on your device in the left-hand column, and go to the Music tab.
4. Uncheck the big box at the top that says "Sync Music"
5. Click the "Apply" button in the lower right-hand corner.
6. WAIT PATIENTLY. This will take a VERY long time. It WILL look like it is still hanging indefinitely, but I promise you, it is not. It took about 30 minutes for me, and the entire time it said "Finishing Sync." I thought it wasn't even going to work, but eventually, I noticed it started updating Podcasts, and a bunch of other stuff, presumably accumulated changes over the duration of this bug. I think at this time it is also file-checking your entire iDevice, presumably because of all those times you had to manually interrupt the synchronization.
7. After the iPhone fully completes its sync, Re-check the "Sync Music" box, and click Apply again. For best results, just pick your 1 or 2 favorite playlists to sync right now, then later tonight you can sync back your entire library, and leave it to sync as you watch TV or eat dinnner or what not... don't force yourself to sit through syncing thousands of songs if you don't have to, lol.
It is working for me after following these steps. I have NOT tried setting iTunes back to automatic syncs (undoing Step #1). I'd imagine that doing so will re-trigger the bug. You're welcome to try, and I will maybe try tonight when I am free, but for now, I'm actually late for class, but I really wanted to share this because I know this is a pretty big issue, especially if you love music like I do.

Backup, restore as a new device, restore your backup.

IPhone e-Mail bug: Text cut off below a picture

Hi Guys,
Just discovered a very annoying bug in iPhone's mail client: If you are creating a new e-mail and paste a picture into it, the text below the picture will be cut off completely. So if you have a mail: "text before [PICTURE] text after" then it will only send: "test before [PICTURE]" and the "text after" will be dissapeared to the thin air.
This is rather annoying and I would consider it as a serious bug.

PS: I use iPhone 5 and iOS 6.1 and use Exchange mail settings for accessing Gmail (to get push notifications from Gmail)

Hi 1980LND,
Thanks for your help, I am not convienced if backup and restore would help. In the meanwhile I have found few discussions about this from 2010 -- Apple blames Microsoft Outlook protocol for this, but in my opinion this is wrong. If that is a known bug Apple should really warn their customers about losing data if they try to do that. Or just fix it even if Microsoft broke some RFCs. But yeah, with a message box with the warning "Due to a bug in Outlook protocol you are going to lose your text below the picture. Do you really want to continoue and lose the text below your picture? [I am Dumb Yes] [God No!]" would be sufficient, just do not let me hang and wonder where my text evaporated.
Thanks again

IPhone 5 two bugs in photo app.

Sorry, don't know where to submit bug reports... hope this place is okay.
Bug #1 - photos are not properly fit to screen. To see this, take a screenshot of the home screen, or, say, of your favorite video game on the iPhone 5. Now, look at that photo in the photo app, and double-tap it as needed to "fit" that photo to the screen. You'll notice black space at the bottom of the photo, and the top part of the photo is off-screen. So, if you took a screenshot of the home screen, the "menu bar" (or whatever it's called) will be off-screen.
Bug #2 - the "cancel" button that comes up in the delete menu doesn't work. Try to delete a photo, then hit the cancel button. You'll see the button is only barely functional - only the top sliver of the cancel button seems to accept input.

#1 was in reference to screenshots, not camera photos. Screenshots should obviously be the same aspect ratio as the screen. In any event, fitting a photo to screen (even if it has a different aspect ratio) should not cause part of the photo to go off-screen. I'm not talking about "letterboxing" here... the black space in question is ONLY on the bottom of the photo, not the top - the top part instead goes off-screen. That is definitely a bug, and I have verfied that I don't get that bug in on my old iPhone4 (updated to iOS6.) I don't have a 4S so I can't test it on that.
I have also verfied that bug #2 does not happen on my iPhone4.

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 5S: Some Bugs I've Noticed

Hello! I got an iPhone 5S for Christmas, I absolutely love the phone. But I've noticed some bugs, so far two. So the first one is an iTunes Radio bug. Sometimes when I open it and click on a station. It will pause for a second, and kick me back to my home screen. It rarely happens but is annoying. Is there a fix for it? Also the second bug. I think it might happen on certain apps but I'm not sure, so far it has happened to me on the "YouTube" app, and one of my games "Hay Day". It's kinda weird, I opened these apps, and both did exactly the same both times. I tried closing out of them by the home button, and I tried locking my phone. And neither of these actions responded. I even tried turning off my phone. But still no response.
So after a minute or two it reboots to the lock screen. It's very annoying also. Is there a way to fix this as well? These are the only problems I've had with the phone so far. And I sorta want them fixed!

Apple genius bar will exchange for an Out of Warranty exchange unit identical to donor for $269 ,which you are likely to end up spending in the end anyway
Should have purchased Applecare +
