IPhone 6+ Controls Itself..?

Hi! In December, I received and iPhone 6+ for Christmas. It was a really expensive gift, and it's frustrating that I'm already having a major problem with it. Everything that I try to do on my phone is interrupted! It operates on iOS 8.1.2, which I've never had a problem with until now. When I'm watching a movie that I buy, or watching Netflix/Youtube, the videos pause themselves. Not to load, they just stop. Sometimes, a different show or video comes on in it's place. The same thing happens when I'm listening to music in iTunes or Spotify. The songs pause, play, and skip on their own. And to make things worse, Siri activates itself constantly. I have no clue what caused it, it just started a few days ago and I haven't downloaded anything or messed with my settings. I've looked at all of the support forums of the people having a similar problem, and none of the things suggested have fixed it. (turning of shake to shuffle, turning off hey siri, and even turning off siri altogether) It would be really great if there was an inexpensive way to fix this, because like I said, it was a really expensive gift, and I've only had it for a little over 3 months. Thanks!

I am having similar issue.
Over last month, perhaps several times a week, the phone seems to become controlled by a ghost. Apps open and close, emails open and close, the magnifier tool engages and the screen magnifies itself. It seems to stop after 10 seconds or so, but can be very disruptive to my workflow.
Screen is clean, I only use a very thin protector that does not touch the screen footprint.
Have not yet done a complete reset, which may be next step but time consuming.

Why does my iPhone self-task or self-controls itself?

Hi.
My Brother has his iPhone 5 and i was wondering why sometimes does it self-control itself because he was watching a movie in Hulu Plus and for some reason he just left it at the bed, then it started by finishing the movie, then it went to movie clips which he never did that it pop up Control Center tab when you swipe from the bottom all the way up. and i just wanted to know if anyone knows

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as a new device. Go through each step in succession until your issue is resolved.

I plug my computer into my stereo and use the remote app on my iPhone to control it. How can I control my wires iPad with the remote app on my iphone when it is plugged into the stereo? they are different iTunes accounts.

I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

When using apple remote app on ipad or iphone to control apple TV is there a way of selecting different airplay speakers?

When using apple remote on ipdad or iphone to control apple TV is there a way to select different airplay speakers without having to control the menu on screen. Eg I want to listed to my music through apple tv (which is in the living room) and beam it to my airplay speakers in my bedroom, at the moment I would have to go back into the living room to see my tv screen to select the bedroom airplay speakers, then go back upstairs to listen to the music. YOu should be able to select the speakers in app without looking at the TV screen. Hopefully that makes sense!?!

Look at this.

My iphone 5 turns itself off even with full charge

My iPhone 5 turns itself off even with a full charge. Any help would be appreciated.

That's a very strange issue, but at the moment it could be software or hardware - the only way to find out is by restoring the iPhone.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 has all the information you need to backup and restore the iPhone.
If it's a software issue, it'll be completely fixed by restoring the iPhone!
If it's hardware, the same thing will still happen even after restoring, and you'll want to get the iPhone serviced.

IPad Mini controls itself

This is my second iPad Mini. The first one started typing by itself and furiosly controlling itself making it impossible to use. Still under warranty I got a replacement.
The second one, acquired also brand new from an Apple store is doing the same thing after about 8 months. Has anyone been having this problem lately? Perhaps this is something that Apple must seriously look into.

I've had that same problem the last couple of days. Question: Did you turn on the "reduce motion" feature? I turned it on the other day, I just turned it off and so far so good. I by no means am sure this will solve it.

Thanks for your help. I tried plugging it in but nothing happened, I actually still had battery power left. I was able to solve my problem by holding down the power and home buttons, which reset the phone and got it started again.
Thanks for trying

IPhone keeps shutting itself down

I just updated my iPhone 4S to 6.0.1 . and ever since I have had this problem that my iPhone keeps shutting itself down and I have to hold the power and home button at the same time for it to be turned on. this happens 4 or 5 times a day. I'm really sick of it 'cause my alarms and my reminders don't beep when the iPhone is off. please help me. I want my Almighty iPhone back.

Hey there Legs8,
It sounds like your phone is repeatedly shutting down unexpectedly on you daily. I recommend these troubleshoting steps from the article named:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you haven't turned find my phone off on the device, it should just reappear next time it is connected to an appropriate network. If you have turned off find my phone, turn it back on.

My iphone 4s shuts itself off all the time. starts normal and then shut it off and start all over again, what is wrong?

my iphone 4s shuts itself off all the time. starts normal and then shut it off and start all over again, what is wrong?

Your iPHone is designed by intention to shut off when there is a reason for the softwarer to believe that danger is immenent to the hardware. This can occurr if the software is running applications that have been corrupted due to all types of different scenarios. My best advice to you would be to restore your device back to default manufactures settings and do NOT restore the current backup of the IOS program currently running.
If this corrects the problem with your device intermittently restarting you will then know you have had applications there were corrupted on your device. Once you are convinced there are no issues with the hardware of your device you then are free to begin downloading software apps that were earlier on the device.
Good luck.

do a back up and restore your device to factory settings using itunes and that should resolve the issue.

IPhone 4G restarted itself

My iPhone 4G restarted itself five times already since I updated it to 5.1.1, can somebody tell me what's wrong? I'm getting really worried.

First problem you have is your phone. There IS no iPhone 4G. There's an iPhone4 and and iPhone 4S.
Second, basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.
If you've gone through ALL the troubleshooting steps and you're still having the problem, then you most likely have a hardware issue and will need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.
