IPhone 6 going haywire

My wife's iPhone 6 is acting crazy.   All day yesterday it stayed at 66% charge but worked fine.   Then last night it went to 1% charge and now is acting very weird. It won't open anything and thebonly thing available on the home screen is to swipe for emergency.  When I try to do that it takes me to the screen to enter 4-digit passcode.   upon trying to enter the passcode the screen goes blank.  We've tried to shut off phone and restart but nothing.  Also tried to charge overnight but still at 1% and acting the same way. No access to apps, phone, etc.  please let me know if you can offer some help.

Basics from the manual are restart ( which you tried), reset, and restore.
Try those first.

  • HT1414 I just upgraded to an iPhone 5S and it is going haywire whenever I use it. Is there a way to resolve this without returning the phone?

    I just upgraded to an iPhone 5S and it is going haywire whenever I use it. It will randomly open applications, send emails suddenly before I am finished writing them, and much more. Is there a way to resolve this without returning the phone?

    Hi, jbgatch. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Our iOS devices use a capacitive touch screen and with it being winter in most places, a buildup of static electricity can cause the touch screen to act erratic.  Start with closing all applications open in multitasking and power cycling the device.  If using a screen protector, remove it and test without it installed.  Some cases that include a screen protector can cause this issue as well.  Try the remainder of the steps in the attached article below.  If the issue persists, a restore as new may been needed.  Make sure to backup your data prior to a restore.

  • IPhone 4s going Haywire while using Car Chargers..

    My iPhones 4s is going crazy while Charging in the car(via usb or AC). The touchscreen is unreponsive and it goes haywire when it responds.
    Apple Store replaced my phone but the new one is also doing the same. I had my wife try hers and it also gets wacked out..
    I have been a long time apple fan but i have been very dissapointed with all the problems my 1st iPhone has been giving us.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    Have you or anyone found a solution to the iphone 4S repeated burn out of car chargers?  I have Audi A6 2010, with three outlets.  Also have 3 different iphone approved chargers (Belkin, Griffin and Amazon) that all will not work (light doesn't go on to show there is a connection) and my iphones show no charge.  At the beginning iphone said it did not support this charger, but after adjusting the tightness of the connection, it started charging.  However, short term only, now doesn't work  All chargers have burned out.  Is there a specific brand for iPhone 4S that will not burnout and continue to work?

  • Why does my podcast go silent when my iphone goes to sleep?

    listening to podcast
    iphone goes to sleep
    podcast stops
    surely this is avoidable
    --bedfuddled in Dallas

    I cured the sleep delay which is working normal now.  In order to make this happen I had to re-set the printer to clear the hidden item which was not accessible.  (It was not in the que) When the printer was cleared/reset it knocked out the fax modem also which now has to be re-installed.  Is there an update to cure this or make the printer glitch accessible.  Help is appreciated :-)

  • Touchscreen goes haywire every few minutes on Model 15-n071nr

    it seems to be happenin more and more often. When I use my laptop the toucscreen becomes unresponsive or does things as if someone is touchhing it however i never actually use the toucscreen, only the mouse and keybpoard. 
    There will be rather lare quarter sized dots going vertically along the same spot to the right of the midline of the screen as if someone is touchin it there. I have to close te lid then it all works fine again when I open, but lately it starts going haywire aain witin a few minutes. Sometimes it does seem to do thhis wen I touch the OUTER edge of the laptop (not the screen) to adjust the angle of the lid/cover. I am pretty sure the laptop is not more than a year old. But it may be I bought it a little over a year ago....Dont know if I still have the reciept but I might.....
    And my other HP laptop the G and H key work intermittently. In some apps tey work fine in and in oters they dont, like right now. Wats odd is if I type anoter letter, ten back space over it, then I can type a G or H fine no trouble. Very odd
    I used to love HP but I have A:LOT of trouble with thier laptops over the last few years. I wont buy another one.

    Hello @tiffcady,
    I understand that the TouchScreen feature of your notebook computer is not working as it should, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    To correct the functions of the TouchScreen, I recommend following this document on Troubleshooting Touch Screen Issues in Windows 8. This should help to return your TouchScreen configuration back to default settings.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

  • Im having trouble with my Messages. The keypad sensors are going haywire. The other apps like FbMessenger are ok. What should i do?

    The keypad sensors are going haywire. Only Messages has this problem. The other apps with messaging like FB messenger are functioning well.
    And its not just with typing; even with scrolling up or down, the sensors wont cooperate. Pfft.

    venicespent,
    Boot into your Mavericks Recovery partition by hold down the command and R keys whilst booting. You'll see a screen that looks like this:
    Click on the Disk Utility item to open Disk Utility. You should see your boot drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've changed it) in the column on the left of the screen. Select your boot partition and click on the "Verify" button. Let your Mac do it's thing - if you get green text telling you that everything seems to be OK, then your disk should not be damaged. If, however, you get red text telling you that the disk needs to be repaired, click on the "Repair" button. If the disk can be repaired, you should be good to go. If the disk cannot be repaired then the drive is damaged.
    But before you do anything, make certain that you have backups!!!

  • GT683DX - Touchpad going haywire

    The touchpad problem first started with the left touchpad button going completely dead sometime in Sept. or so. I contacted technical support to get the issue fixed but before I had the opportunity to send it back, it magically "fixed itself" for some reason. Now, over the past two weeks it will intermittently "go out" and another issue has popped up of the touchpad and/or button absolutely going haywire and clicking nonstop on everything the cursor is touching. Sometimes it will even happen if I am using an external mouse.
    Is anyone having a similar issue or could get me some guidance? It seems to be having the same issue in Windows and in Linux.

    As this happens in two OS it seems to be a hardware issue. RMA seems to be the only option (if still covered by warranty).

  • IPhone going wild in the middle of the night

    Hi,
    my iPhone goes wild in the middle of the night when it is connected to the power lead. I makes call at 1am to random people in my contacts, send text messages with random text, opens internet pages and searches internet with the same random text.
    Help! How can I stop this?
    Last night it called a friend of mine: my phone was on loudspeaker ringing until she answered! How bad is that? It was 1am!!
    Many thanks for your help!

    Reset your iPhone.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    That should fix the issue.  But I have one other recommendation:
    You might consider powering your iPhone off while you are sleeping.  That would, among other things, save the battery.  But it would also make sure this behavior never happens again.

  • Hi, iPak II user.  Two keyboard keys won't work, and the picture goes haywire sometimes, flashing itself, bak to old stuff, typing in the safari line, all this going on vey fast.   Any fixes out there?

    Hi, iPak II user.  Two keyboard keys won't work, and the picture goes haywire sometimes, flashing itself, bak to old stuff, typing in the safari line, all this going on vey fast.   Any fixes out there?

    Sounds like it could be a hardware problem.
    Try a restart or reset to see if that helps. If not, contact Apple Support.
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • Trackpad freezes and goes haywire

    My computer is 4 years old and in decent condition. For the past several months my trackpad has been freezing/going haywire every time I use the computer. This generally only happens while I am online. For example, I will be scrolling down, and it will freeze, the cursor won't go anywhere no matter how much I rub the trackpad. Or the cursor will start jumping around and the page will scroll up and down on its own. Usually I just run my fingers back and forth across the trackpad quickly for a few seconds and it will stop. But the problem will happen again a few minutes later. This happens on all sorts of websites, using Firefox.
    I can use an external mouse with no problem, but obviously that's not always possible.
    Thank you.

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Try resetting the PMU http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431
    And try resetting the PRAM and NVRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    And try cleaning the Trackpad. Take a clean lint free dampened cloth and wipe the Trackpad. Fingerprints, lotion.. takes a toll.

    I had this same thing happen to me.  I was using my brand new iphone 5 (texting and listening to music through the speakers) when it flashed the apple logo, stopped my music and brought me to the lock screen. 

  • I was using photoshop CC as normal, when suddenly it started going haywire. It has corrupted all the one PSD files by distorting the images and colour. Does anyone know how to recover the original images?

    I was using photoshop CC as normal, when suddenly it started going haywire. It has corrupted all the open PSD files by distorting the images and colour. They are now completely unrecognisable and unusable. Does anyone know how to recover the original images as I was saving them as I went along but the files are now corrupt?

    What version of Photoshop are you running?
    I've seen a couple of instances over the last week or two where Photoshop has added masks, strange colours and also merged content from two separate PSD files that were open at the same time.
    This has occurred on two different iMacs, (both 10.10.x) running Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 (20141204.r.310 x64).
    see image below for example:
