IPhone 6, ghost touching screen...

Brand new iPhone 6, 64gb, no case, received 24 hours ago, one charge cycle of use, everything works fine with the phone, except it is randomly ghost touching left side of screen. Phone has been restarted several times, updated the as shipped iOs 8.0 to iOs 8.1.1 at lunch, no change, ghost touching still happening.
Turned it on and upon initial configuration noticed ghost touching of left side of screen, phone opened up an app and was operating it as if being touched, mostly left side of screen inputs, (my hands no where near the screen) typing a text ghost touching happened again, left screen ghost touches causing all sorts of mayhem. On a web page looking at an item I recently purchased, ghost touching selected the item, and shopping cart, (thank goodness to actually place and order requires more deliberate action). Updating the apps from the app store, non stop ghost touching, launching the apps trying update. Withe he phone sitting on the desk no objects near it even ghost swiped along with more ghost touches that took it out of "updates" and launched a video of a game in "Featured Apps" Once the updates were down, the ghost touching subsided to the more sporadic random touching. During the app updates was the only real noticeable pattern and it was quite literally almost non stop entire time.
Anyone else experience this with their iPhone 6, 4.7"?

I experienced Ghost Touches for the first time today on my iphone 6 and since it never ever happened before, and I'd never heard of this phenomenon before, I immediately assumed a hack was taking place before my very eyes.
I powered off and for some not thought-out reason, I also unplugged my iphone's charging cord. When I started the iphone up again and tryed text messaging again I had a perfectly normal keyboard - except my iphone's battery was near depletion (11%). Thinking my keyboard fix was solved by turning off and turning on my iphone, I again plugged my iphone into the same charging device and WHAM; ghost touching started happening over and over again.
This time, I unplugged my charging cord first and moved to the another charging cord and plugged in. With a new charging hub I had perfect text and no ghost keyboard stroking. I'm confident the black device labeled "Designed in China, Model No. A1265" was the culprit causing my ghost touches. I made no screen adjustments except what I've described - I hope this helps.

I cant open apps on my iPhone 4 the touch screen doesn't work. I have restored my phone and still nothing works.

I can't open apps on my iPhone. The touch screen doesn't work. I have restored it already but it still won't work. What can I do.

If the touch screen is not having any response then you probably have a hardware failure. Take your phone to an Apple Store or authorised service provider to have it checked.

I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides screen is ok. Is there a way around it? :(

I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides the screen is completely fine-the screen will not recognize my finger anymore. I am not trying to fix the phone, but I need to have my contacts. The pictures have already synced, but I need my password to do a full backup. Unfortunately, I can't type in my password. Is there any way around it? If I take my phone to the apple store, will they be able to help me? I am not willing to replace the screen just to do this, however, so that is out of the question.

Someone else may have a workaround, but, as far as I know, if you cannot interact with the screen on the iPhone, there is no way to unlock it so you can get to your contacts.
Were you saving them to iCloud by chance? If so, you can restore them to your new phone.

HELP: iPhone 6 Keyboard/Touch Screen Not Working

Hello.
I recently acquired to an iPhone 6, which has been working properly for the last two weeks. Today, my keyboard/touch screen stopped working properly. When I am typing in iMessage, or trying to compose an email, enter a URL, or anything else that requires my touch keyboard, my "123" button that switches to numbers, punctuation, and special characters does not open. I updated my software to iOS 8.3., which switched to a new and "improved" emoji keyboard, but I did this after my keyboard had already become unresponsive. If I click on the emjoi keyboard icon to switch over, the "ABC" button to swtich back to QWERTY is unresponsive. This is REALLY frustrating! The phone is two weeks old, and I cannot use to for a huge chunk of functionality.
It's not a dead spot on the touch screen. When I am not trying to access the keyboard, that little bottom left corner works fine to open/use my Phone app.
I really don't want to reset my phone. Any other ideas?
I made a Genius Bar appointment for next Wednesday 4/15, but that seems like an eternity from now.
Please help!

To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the Touch Screen . If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

Sharing music between ipod, iphone, and samsung touch screen cp

i have an ipod and an iphone. how do i share music between the two with a samsung touch screen cp
it shows up in the library but will not share with either iphone or ipod

- For this:
Thank you very much! I just need to be sure my texts from my work iPhone don't show up on the iPod. I can turn off the iMessage app
Go to Settings>Messages>Send and receive and make sure you emaill address and phone number do not appear. Delete them if necessary. You can then add her own email address so you can message her.
- The iPod will only use a phone number for Messages if the Account used to set up the iPod includes an iPhone and the iPod has iOS 6. You can't add non-iPhone number to Messages on an iPod.

Iphone 6 plus Touch Screen is Unresponsive When Charging

I just replaced my iPhone 4s with the iPhone 6 plus. I had several issues with the first 6plus and Apple has already replaced the phone once figuring it was a hardware issue. (Actually they couldn't figure out the cause of the issues so as a last resort they replaced the phone.) The second iPhone 6 plus still has an issue with the touch screen becoming unresponsive or erratic while charging. By erratic, I mean that if the phone is unlocked, I try to open my photos but the phone opens facetime. Or I try to open the app store and the phone actually opens the settings. The longer the phone is connected to a power source the more unresponsive or erratic the touch screen becomes. If the phone is locked, I can't even answer an incoming call or unlock the phone. Also, it doesn't matter if the phone is connected to my computer or to an outlet. All connectors (plug and cord) are the ones I received in the box with my iPhone. The only constant is that the phone is connected to a power source. It happens both when the phone is charging and if it has a full 100% charge.
The problem is solved immediately when I disconnect from the power source. If anyone has any ideas on what is causing the issue, I'd appreciate the advice.

Thank you for the advice. Unfortunately, this did not solve the issue. In the weeks since my original post, I've tried three different apple cords and a charging cord made by Duracell. I've tried two different apple wall bases and a generic brand wall base. I've tried different different power sources too. Plugging into different wall outlets, different computers, the USB connection in my car and used an adapter to plug into the 12v connection in my car. I had thought maybe the computer could contribute to the issue so I even tried the computer when I simply turned it on but did not log on. While the phone was charging, it still didn't fix the issue.

HT201406 Dropped iphone 4s, and touch screen wont read my finger when i slide to unlock or touch the buttons.

I recently dropped my Iphone 4s 32gig phone on the ground and the screen did not crack or anything. When i tried to slide to unlock it, nothing happened. It woudn't read my finger at all and the phone seemed fully functional (meaning i could click the unlock and lock buttons and home buttons and it all worked fine, it just seemed like the sensor was not reading my finger). So i figured it was a problem with the LCD screen so i purchased a new one and installed it correctly, and nothing happened. Something else is wrong with my iphone and i have no clue what to do. Can anyone help me?

If you are saying you have repaired the iPhone by replacing parts then you have voided any warranty ,if relevant and any other further support from Apple .
Apple do not sell spare parts so who knows what you have done to the iPhone but nothing that Apple will now help with

Iphone 5's touch screen is not responding to touch or swipe

I have warranty coverage to get a new one but the problem that I'm having is I need to restore my phone so I can send it back. When I attempt to restore it I get a message saying I need to turn off "Find my Iphone" in icloud. But I can't get into my phone to do that.
I uninstalled Find my Iphone in Itunes then did a sync but I still get that message when I try to restore.
How do I restore my phone to clear off all the data? thank you for your help.

Force it into recovery mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808. That will erase all your data and allow you to restore it.

Why has apple not made a 9 key function on existing iPhones and ipad touch screen keyboards?

Does anyone else think this is a good idea for business and education?

I can see its usefulness in certain conditions, please let apple know your opinion.

Upper right hand corner of iPhone 4 touch screen unresponsive - Is there anyway to turn on cellular data?

A small portion (upper right hand corner) of my iPhone 4's touch screen is unresponsive. Now, I cannot change some of the settings since it won't respond. I am on an out of the country trip and I really need to turn on Cellular data.
Is there anyway I can change the phone settings from my macbook? Or maybe rotate the settings page so that it would show as landscape and I can turn on cellular data since the other areas of the touchscreen is working.
Thank you very much!

Here's my suggestion:
On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Cellular (where you would turn on cellular data if you could).
You can actually scroll that menu down a bit so the "Cellular Data" button is not necessarily in the far upper right corner of the screen. Hopefully you can scroll it down far enough that you can successfully set it.

Touch Screen not responding for setting icon in iPhone5s after upgrade to iOS 8.

After upgrade to iOS8 in IPhone 5s, the touch screen is not working for settings icon. The settings will be opened on the screen, but unfortunately I can;t use any of the operations available on the setting window. Once I pressed the home menu button or power button and re-open the settings, it works.

Your observation is right. I am facing the same issue after upgrading to iOS 8.3. The trial and error was common with Microsoft .. it seems Apple is catching up with MS .
I hope they address this issue quickly.
