Iphone 5s ios 7.01 - touchscreen typing

After the ios 7.01/7.02 update on my new iPhone 5s I am seeing typing issues.
If the phone is in portrait mode and I hit any of the keys on the 2nd row from the bottom ("up arrow', z, x, c, v, b, n, m, "backspace") the keys under them will be pressed as well. So if i hit the "v" it will insert a space and the letter "v". If i hit "x" it will insert "x" and initiate voice control.
As you can imagine this can be very frustrating. This only occurs with the 2nd row from the bottom.
When I flip the phone to landscape mode I do NOT experience the issue. I can even hit the key at the bottom and it will work correctly in portrait mode.
When I initially activated the phone this was NOT an issue. Only change has been the update to 7.01 and then to 7.02.
I have cleaned the touchscreen, do not have a screen protector, nor have I ever used a case with the phone.

Scheduled an appointment with a genius at the apple store.
My phone was replaced with a new one since they did not have any of the new (5s) screens on hand.
One item I would like to mention is that I don't understand the need to set up an appointment to see a genius. I was at the store on time waiting to talk to a genius. One of the employees even asked if I was. I got up to the genius bar and they directed me to check in with someone else. Really? So I had to go to random person in the blue shirt, who was just standing in the middle of the store to check in. Nothing at the store indicated I had to check in, silly me for thinking that an appointment meant I could just talk to someone. Not sure if it was just the way this store runs, or how all stores run but they should improve.
I finally got to talk to a genius, the problem with my phone was clearly evident. They then had a technician look at my phone, again they had no problem reproducing the issue. I was handed a new phone and told to restore using my backup. New phone is working well.

Spotlight search top hits problems in iphone 5 ios 6

I upgraded from Iphone 4s ios 5.1.1 to Iphone 5 ios 6.02 yesterday. (Att to verizon, but not relevant to this post)
On first glance at spotlight search on new iphone 5, I thought for sure the index for my spotlight search was totally corrupt. If I start typing 'Hol' for holly, after h or o she should come up as a top hit...instead my top hit is Chris Luxxxx (nothing to do with H or O)...I keep typing...top hit area totally disappears and Holly xxxx shows in middle of very long list of what would appear to be totally unrelated contacts. I have to get to Holly Bo before the list is down to 4 names...and 3 of those aren't related to her (on the surface....)....and top hits still doesn't pop up?? I still had my 4s next to me...and the results were night and day different...and the iphone 5 were so totally irrelevant compared to the 4s for what I was trying to do (just look up a contact...the thing i use spotlight search for most!?!?)
NOTE:
1) At this point, I had already disabled all categories but 'contacts for my spotlight search to minimize the hundreds matches I was getting in all kinds of categories that looked irrelevant......and to focus on what was going on with my contacts.
2) My contacts are synched with MS Exchange config connected to google apps account
3) I have about 1500 contacts and 1700 other contacts (email addresses only), and TONS of notes in contact 'comments' fields (foreshadowing here....'comments' fields....)
After about 60 minutes of thinking the index for my records was corrupt...and reboots and resets and internet searches..I tried thinking differently....and I started looking at the 'comments' fields in my contacts...and whoooaaaa....arghhhhh...
It appears spotlight is now indexing 'comments' section of contacts now as well many other fields in the contact records that I don't believe were previously indexed.........and apple is NOT not prioritizing the results by any fields (like giving first name, last name, business name top hit result priority)....and I know for a fact it did not use index notes..because i needed that function so I downloaded an app to do that....I found the fact that it did not index 'comments' section annoying, but tolerable...now they they are indexing it, but with poor implementation and no prioritization, spotlight has become a great tool for locating **** near anything on my phone...but a really crappy short cut to get to the contacts I wanted to get to....a better implementation of prioritization of 'top hits' would go a long ways...
Back to my searches again....when I searched 'Ho'.........Chris Luxxxis showed up first as a 'top hit'....made no sense at all....but this is what I pieced together.....e he was the most recent phone call I made, and 'ho' is in the 'comments' section of his contact info 6 times........in the words home, home inspector, house masters, house password.....arghhhhh.....I did a lot more searches...and made some phone calls, and when I ran same search again....Chris Luxxxx was not longer an immediate top hit!?!? ****...I don't need a short cut to recent calls in my top hits spotlight search!?!? It's not the magic genie!!!! And when applied like that..it just makes a huge bowl of spaghetti!!
I thought...okay...well, overall it's a better tool for finding EVERYTHING on my phone, just crappier for shortcutting to contacts to make calls and send emails....(i never used the contacts section of my phone on 4s for 3 years...just used spotlight, and it was awesome, easy and fast and got me to my contacts better than any other search system on any device i'd ever had).......So I thought.....ok so maybe I'll just have to used my contacts area more now to get to my contacts........and guess what...it appears the same darn alogrythim for search results there!!!
Apple has obliterated the concept of top hits in spotlight search..and made finding the common items in the phone like contacts a heck of a lot more typing....I only have 1 Holly in my contacts....and I have to type 'Holly Bow' before she is the sole contact shown...and I have to get to 'Holly B' before the list is down to 15 results....oh....but if I recall this issue and start with her last name...only need to get three letters in to find her...unfortunately, but its individuall relevent...ie another contacts last name is a bomb for searching, but first is quick....
Apple use to think for their users...they assumed what was most important given a spot in an application...and overall, made some decent decisions for the non technically oriented....(personally, I didn't like it...been a pc guy for 20 years..and a programmer...drove me nuts, but had a place for their customer base and nice if what you did with your computer was inline with the applications apple designed their machines to be great at....)...and I loved my iphone 4s compared to too many config options and poor implementation on windows phones ...and i'm still an iphone fan...for it's simplicity and lack of total cusomization actually (i get my creative juices flowing doing things other than customizing smart phones)........but in this case, too much info can be as bad or worse than not enough if you don't include some controls to start limiting relevance somehow....
I'm 90 minutes into this...guess now that I seem to have concluded what's up...I can start working with it or around it...but it's a big departure for where spotlight was...and while it offers more...for me, it's offering a lot less for my hourly and daily needs.
If my assumptions about these changes are wrong or anyones figured out how to get top hits useful again, please advise.
thx

Try at total shut down of Safari, double click on the home button then find the Safari app, hold you finger on the app for a few secs then tap the red minus sign to close the app. Re-launch Safari then give it a try.

Itunes delete my music in my iPhone 4 iOS 6.1 I'm new mac mini

ahen connect a iphone 4 ios 6.1 to new mac mini all of my music vidoe was delete , after i sync to the new mac mini , how can i restor , i did a bucup.

I'm having similar issues just lately. The phone itself is very slow to respond to the touch, just scrolling between home screens is a chore at times. There have been about 2 incidents of random vibration from it. Closing home screen folders takes a couple of attempts. I find that I'm also having delayed keyboard responses when typing messages to my contacts.
Also, sometimes when I press the sleep/wake button it takes about 30 seconds to register it and actually lock or wake up.
Have you experienced the backlight failing to light up? Like if I get a message it flashes up then goes black straight after and when you press the sleep/wake or home button it lights up again but very very dimly and you have to press the sleep/wake button as if locking it and then press it again to bring the screen up properly?
Mine is also on 6.1.3(10B329), model MD245B/A, obviously not Jailbroken, carrier unlocked from Vodafone (but that was months and months ago). Roughly 17gb of storage space left.
This has only started happening in the last 2 weeks. Haven't tried the reset or anything yet though.

When I try to use the Message feature on my iPad 2, to send a message to a friends iPhone (on iOS 5 too), why will it not allow me to send the message?

Check to make sure you are not typing your message in the Subject line. If you are, it won't let you send the message. Cut and paste the message into the Message field and you should be all set.
FYI, you can disable the Subject line from your messages in Settings/Messages.

Turn off iphone power button broken and touchscreen selectively unresponsive

I have an iPhone 4S w/ iOS 7, my power button has broken so I have enabled the Accessibility features in order to lock and unlock my phone.
That has been working fine. Now, my touch screen is selectively responsive. It IS NOT broken or damaged in anyway. I can access the pull down and pull up menus, I can ask Siri to search for something and I can scroll through the responses she returns. I can visit one of those web pages she returns and scroll inside of those as well.
However, any scrolling that is related to a Home screen function I can not perform. For example, I can't "flick" away apps to close them, I can't hold down the "Lock Screen" button which then presents the "Slide to turn off" slider, the touchscreen won't slide the slider... When I do access either the pull down or pull up menus, I can see them but I cannot select anything on them, the touchscreen is unresponsive. When my phone is locked I can't swipe to unlock it.
We do not have home POTS service, so this is my only means of calling for help if I needed to, and now I can't. This is a very unfortunate failure.

cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password. On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

IPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) Won't Sync Movies

My iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) stopped syncing videos a few days ago, and removed all the videos I did have on it. Everything else is syncing fine. I double checked that my iOS 5.0.1 & iTunes software (10.5.1) are both up to date. The same goes for my MacBook Pro OS X Version 10.7.2.
iTunes seems normal as if it synced fine, but the "video" app on my iPhone says "No Videos. You can download videos from iTunes." And when I search for specific movies on my phone, none is found. I did a master reboot on my phone, but am hesitant to restore my phone, too, because I always have to re-arrange apps afterwards. Apparetnly, iTunes will remember every setting about my phone except app folders.
Even though this is an Apple problem, it refuses to help me at all, because my phone is already a few months old. Any help from you would be appreciated.
Many thanks!

I have exactly the same issue iTunes 10.5.1 / iPhone 4s (iOS 5.0.1) - impacts Movie and TV Show synch in the same way as described above.

IPhone 4S iOS 7 not syncing - stuck on "determining apps to sync"

Hello all:
My upgrade to iOS 7 started out smoothly enough, but now I have a problem. When I attempt to sync via USB, I get to step 3, "Determining apps to sync," and the sync doesn't go any further. I've tried it a couple of times now, and my current attempt is at 20+ minutes of just sitting there at the same status. Clicking the x in the status box doesn't cancel the sync. I have to force quit (or disconnect) for it to stop.
In the process, my contacts and calendars were erased on my phone, but are still in iCloud. I don't think anything else is missing. All of my apps in iTunes are up to date.
System info:
iPhone 4s
iOS 7.0.2
OSX 10.8.5
iTunes 11.1.1
I can't think of anything else to share. Is there any hope of getting out of this loop? Thanks!

This is very irritating I have a new iMac ($5000) an New ipad ($1000) when I sync the ipad to iTunes I get stuck at "determining apps to sync". I cant even shut down the iMac. I thought apple didnt make junk. ***

IPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1 stops receiving calls and text messages

Hi all,
My iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) suddenly stopped receiving calls and text messages. However, I'm still able to send them.
The workaround for fixing this issue is to make an hard reset to the iPhone.
This only occured with 5.0.1 version. It's very annoying because I'm not able to know if it's working or not (I can only suppose that it's not working when I'm a long period without receiving calls/messages)
Do you know how to solve this ?
Thanks in advance!

First, who really cares what you do? I certainly don't, and I doubt the vast majority of users on this forum don't either. Ridiculous statements like that just make you look stupid.
Second, this is a user to user technical support forum. I saw a lot of whine here, not a question. What is your technical support question?

I have already included my icloud email in the send and receive options. but i still dont see any text message forwarding

Hi there omengomeng,
You may want to make all of the settings are configured properly on your devices. Take a look at the article below for more information.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
To use Continuity for SMS and MMS on your iPad, iPod touch, and Mac:
Update your iPhone to iOS 8.1 (when available).
Enable iMessage on your Mac and iOS devices.
On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages and turn on Text Message Forwarding.
Your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac will display a code you can enter on your iPhone to verify the SMS and MMS feature.
