IPhone 5 Touchscreen Issues??

Ever since I took my phone off of airplane mode after getting of a plane, the touch screen has been acting up.
When I press the lock button to unlock my phone the touchscreen seems to be locked so i have to lock and unlock again in order to put in my password. Also, sometimes when im trying to type the touchscreen is clicking other letters which i then have to lock my phone again and unlock for it to go back to normal. Anyone having the same problem and a solution??

Hello. This may be an anomaly with your phone as it seemed to be with mine. My touchscreen wouldn't respond if the ambient temperature got down to the mid-50s F. The promised ambient temperature range for operation is 32 to 95 F so I brought mine to an Apple store. They didn't know how to test the issue so they replaced the device. The replacement did not behave the same way and I even put it in a plastic bag in refrigeration for a few minutes (38 F or so) and it still functioned normally. This lead me to believe the issue was just an anomaly with the first phone. I would recommend calling Apple Customer Care beforehand, as they may be able to save you the hassle of dealing with the tech 'geniuses' at a store.

Iphone touchscreen issue

I got an iphone 5s Gold from Flipkart(India) a month back and the touchscreen has been acting funny since last week. It keeps clicking on buttons by itself. I am not able to unlock sometimes and messaging is almost impossible.
Plz advise.

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.

Touchscreen issue since IOS 5.1

Is anyone else having problems with the touchscreen since installing IOS 5.1? It seems like the calibration is off.
I am also unable to install apps. Ive tried restoring and soft resets but nothing seems to work.
Am I the only one? or does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

Sorry -- no fixes for you but I, too, am experiencing this problem with my iPod Touch 4th gen. I even did a restore and reinstall from iTunes to see if there had been in installation issue (I had an installation issue over wi-fi where the Apple logo appeared with an empty progress bar for most of an hour). After a couple of re-boots it finally kicked in but with the touchscreen issue. The restore didn't resolve anything. Kinda got a gut feel like the updates for the Ipad 3 screen resolution is what is causing the problem on the small screen of the iPhone/iPod. My iPad 1 isn't having any issues. I don't know if my wife's iPod is problematic or not. Both her iPad 1 and iPod 4 were updated last weekend but haven't heard any reports.

Taken Aback- touchscreen issue

I have enjoyed and supported this company's products and services for some time. So, today when I inquired with tech support about my touchscreen issue (non working band of the screen ..the 456 area on the dialpad)...I was taken aback at the very least that I should send my phone in for repair and then PAY for a loaner. hmmm..I just paid 700 for a phone that is now handicapped two months later by what seems to be a common issue, accourding to the forums, and I should fork over some more $$$? Principle alone may make me dust off my Blackberry.

these kind of comments are just besides the point. there is a degree of company loyalty that is ok, but this is a clear shortcoming of Apple's understanding of the mobile market. I am a huge Apple fan (have had Macs for more than 20 years, I had a Newton, and now the iPhone), but I have also had about 30 mobile phones over the last 15 or so years. And I have to say that I have never had a phone before that broke, that needed repair. Or that broke just by falling down (that is what happened to my iphone, one fall out of 1.5 feet and the screen is cracked). What Apple has to understand is that the mobile phone market is not the computer market. Phones have to work and have to survive some everyday punishments, otherwise they are just nice looking but otherwise useless devices. Just take a look at Palms and Blackberrys, the thing about them is that they work, just like Nokias and in the past Ericsson's.

Very Strange Touchscreen Issue

I recieved and activated my new 8GB iPhone about two days ago and it worked great up until just a few hours ago. I am experiencing the known issue of the bottom 1/2 inch or so of the touchscreen not responding to my touch, which in turn is affecting a lot of main elements of the phone such as SMS, e-mail, iPod, etc. Among that issue, I also encountered a very strange occurrence whilst I was testing the 'dead zone' on my iPhone: Certain sections of the dead zone work if I hover my finger about 2 -3 centimeters from the screen. It is a very strange thing but true, lol. I can even capture video footage of this if it's necessary.
Since I bought my iPhone from an AT&T store, should I return it to them for a new one on the spot or should I do it through Apple? I hope it doesn't come down to the latter since I do not live anywhere near an Apple Store (New Orleans, LA) and I just switched from T-Mobile to AT&T so I'd really hate to purchase a cheap temporary phone while my iPhone is being replaced/fixed.
Edit: Have a Merry Christmas, everyone!

I just talked to Apple Support and they are going to repair it for me, it's just I need to wait til Friday since I am broke from Christmas! Once I get paid, then I can dish out the 30 dollars to get a rental iPhone to hold me over. The restore temporarily fixed the touchscreen issue since it happened again hours later.
Also, nobody I know who would have a spare AT&T phone doesn't come to mind so I can't just borrow a phone and start the repair process now, but the wait isn't too bad. At least they do not limit the iPhone rental to just physical Apple Store customers!
Thanks for the help, folks. :V

Touchscreen issues with 6 Plus, seems to be disabled in landscape view

I have an intermittent problem on the 6 Plus with 8.0.2: the touchProscreen seems to be disabled in landscape orientation (but not portrait). Anyone else?

Hi MookieFL,
If you are having an issue with your iPhone touchscreen being unresponsive when the iPhone is in Landscape mode, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Iphone 5 issues after IOS 8.2 update: my husband's phone and my phone get the same phone calls ONLY when we are home. Any suggestions on where to look to fix this?

What is the temperature limit of the finger to work on iPhone touchscreen? I'm asking this, because I've noticed that when my finger gets too warm (about 104oF) the screen of my iPhone 5 doesn't recognize its touch. Thank you.

What is the temperature limit of the finger to work on iPhone touchscreen? I'm asking this, because I've noticed that when my finger gets too warm (about 104oF) the screen of my iPhone 5 doesn't recognize its touch. Thank you.

I understood. Emphasizing that this is still a guess, when you touch the screen it compares your fingerprint at that time to the one you originally recorded. The fact that the finger is warmer may have a small effect on the fingerprint making it appear different than the original colder one. Temperature differences cause things to expand and contract and that may be having an effect on the comparison. You could try recording a fingerprint after doing what you are doing and then see if it will be recognized when you do the same thing to log into the phone. I know that prior to iOS 7.1 for a few minutes after I would wash my hands the phone had difficulty recognizing the fingerprint. Don't know if it was temperature or moisture that caused the temporary change induced by the hand washing. That improved with version 7.1 I think.

HT5569 iPhone WiFi issue. I enter a password, click join, and get a message back that it is the incorrect password. I have several computers and two other iPhones connected using the same password. Any clues?

Hey there Gordo456,
It sounds like you are not able to join your Wi-Fi network with the correct password on 1 out of many devices. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Restart your iOS device.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
If that troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, I would next try these steps from further down the article:
Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
Verify that you're attempting to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Make sure you're entering your Wi-Fi password correctly. Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Iphone touchscreen code samples

Would anyone like to share iphone touchscreen code samples with the community? I would share mine, but I don't have a clue.

Any code for touch,mouse or input events that is coded for normally for flash will also work in iphone too.

ITunes Match is having errors d/l songs to my iPhone 4s. Then I can't delete them, and it says some songs are playing when they aren't. I've restored my iPhone, same issue.

iTunes Match is having errors d/l songs to my iPhone 4s. Then I can't delete them, and it says some songs are playing when they aren't. I've restored my iPhone, same issue.

According to this article Using iPhone on an airplane you should be able to listen to music with Airplay Mode enabled.
Make sure you have Music switched on in Settings > Store or your music won't download via Wi-Fi.

Z10 Touchscreen Issues - Possible Solution?

A few months back my Z10 touchscreen became unresponsive. I could not find a solution, so I purchased a new Z10. Recenty I dropped the new Z10 in water...so, still in posession of the old unresponsive Z10, I decided to give it another try. I put my sim card in, and the new battery that came with the new phone. VOILA! Works like a charm. Try replacing your battery. i wish I had known this months ago, could have saved myself spending $200 on a new phone upgrade.

I'm happy for your positive outcome but I would argue that the battery was not the culprit. Sure, it appears that it was but exchanging batteries to correct a touchscreen issue is not something we would have suggested; I'm sure this is just coincidence.
Whatever the situation, you now have a Z10 in perfect working order. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Za touchscreen issues

I recently bought a Z1 and i found an annoying touchscreen issue that might be a software bug.
If i put my Phone on a flat surface the touchscreen does not respond wel. It detects taps that are not there. Unlocking Phone with strong pattern lock is almost impossible.

IPad Touchscreen Issues

I recently sent my new 16GB wifi iPad to Apple due to some touchscreen issues I was having. Upon receiving the iPad, Apple did testing on it and concluded that they could not reproduce the issue. The problem was that there was a ½" portion of the touchscreen not responding to touch. I got back my original iPad unaltered and immediately set it up as a new iPad on my computer and tested it using the Adobe Ideas app to ensure the touchscreen was working properly. The same issue is occurring as was before sending it in. It was recommended that I make a youtube video of the issue and post it on this board to get help in fixing the problem.
Here's the video -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_U-3kBIJ90

Just take it to the Apple store genius bar. The video / demo you showed should be more than enough to have it addressed on the spot.

IPhone Sync issue (and album art messed up)

Whenever I sync my iPhone with iTunes, instead of just updating the media I have changed, it will randomly add anywhere between 30 to 300 songs that were already on my iPhone. It doesn't cause any problems with using the iPhone other then the fact that it takes a really long time to sync even when I don't change anything or add new media to sync with the iPhone.
So far I have:
-made sure I have the latest updates of iTunes and all software
-re-set iSync
-done an archive and install
-had a genius appointment at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store and
-they replaced my iPhone
...but my problems still exist. And on top of that, all of the album artwork on the iPhone is jumbled up. It looks fine in cover flow, but when I switch to the normal mode it will be the wrong artwork with the wrong song. My album artwork in itunes is not jumbled up, but all of the artwork for the movies and tv shows I have bought and downloaded from the iTunes Store has disappeared and I can't get it back by searching for album artwork.
So, to recap, my 3 main problems are.
1) iPhone Sync issue
2) Album artwork jumbled up on iPhone
3) TV Show and Movie artwork disappearing on iTunes
If anyone can help your time would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

Intel and IPhone Sync issues

Some forwarded this to me. It might be relevant to some users here.
"Senior Editor, iLounge
Published: Thursday, November 5, 2009
News Category: iPhone
Intel has issued a comment concerning the iPhone sync issues some users are experiencing with certain PCs containing a specific Intel chipset. “Our leading theory is a BIOS or system configuration issue, but we are still investigating,” Intel said. The basic input/output system (BIOS) is the boot firmware run by a PC on startup, which identifies, tests, and initializes core system devices such as the graphics card, hard disk, and other hardware. As we reported earlier this week, the syncing issue appears to linked to Intel’s P55 Express chipset and its USB controller, which leaves the afflicted machines able to recognize the iPhone but unable to sync. The problem has been most prevalent among PCs running 64-bit Windows 7, but the issue has also been reported on machines running both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of both Windows 7 and Vista."

Hi R@chel,
It sounds as if you are having difficulty making sure your iPhone only gets the music you want. In order to do this, you need to manually manage the data that gets synced to your iPhone. This article explains how to do so -
