IPhone 6 not responding to touch in landscape mode

I notice that others have posted about this problem. Sometimes when my phone is in landscape, specifically tilted clockwise, it doesn't respond to touch at all. I flip the phone back up vertically and it works fine. I haven't tried this with phone tilted counterclockwise to the left. Hopefully just a software bug.

I think I may have fixed this problem on my phone. I did a full erase and reset, and instead of restoring from backup, I just set it up as a new phone and retrieved everything again manually (downloaded apps again, adjusted settings to my liking, etc.). My old backup probably just caused the phone to be clogged up and buggy.

HT3302 The very bottom of the touch screen on my iPhone does not respond to touch. When the touch screen fails, is is expensive to replace?

Recently, the bottom edge of the touch screen on my iPhone stopped responding to touch. I have gone through all of your hints and tips in the service information pages to see if there was a DIY solution. The little 'dots' which indicate water damage are white. I checked those in case someone else had caused water damage to my phone, as I do not live alone. The home button works fine, the non-functioning area of the screen prevents me from using all functions for which the screen will not revolve to the side when the phone is tipped. Texting is a nightmare, as I have to keep turning the phone to access certain alphnumeric icons on the keyboard. Is this a common problem with the iPhone 4? Is is expensive to repair?

Before you claim the hardware failed, try basic troubleshooting as described in the User's Guide of reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).
If none of these resolve the issue, Apple offers and Out of Warranty replacement for $149US.

HT1212 my iphone will not reapond to touch cant slide to unlock and cannot reset on itunes because I can't unlock passcode and have never sync to itunes?? Ive tried the hold home button/ wake button it doesn't fix it

My iphone will not respond to touch to slide to unlock- I have tried home/sleep button reset it works but doesn't fix problem. Also I can't sync to itunes due to having passcode and can't unlock ?? i also never have synced my phone to itunes acct.

First Try This...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

If you try these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

Hello, so today I realized that my iPhone with iOS 6 is frozen on the music. I can get back to the home screen but I can't get the music player to work because its frozen on the w's and will not respond to touch. I would be grateful for any help on this.

Hi deamayfield,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your Music app is unresponsive, try restarting/resetting your iPhone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Thanks, AM_Kidd, I had tried that before but I tried again and this time it WORKED!!!!
The buzzing stopped and I have the home screen up again.
Phew! It may be that it had been on charge for the last 30 mins.
Whatever. Again, many thanks.

Is anyone else having difficulty with the iPhone 6 Plus intermittently not responding to touches on the screen in horizontal mode?

My iPhone 6+ is occasionally not responding to touches on the screen when in horizontal mode. This happens both in the apps and on the home screen. In other words, when you go to touch on an area of the screen, it does not register. Even if the view is horizontal, when I rotated vertically the horizontal view will respond.

I've not had issues. What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far?

IPhone 4 screen will not respond to touch.

After upgrade firmware my iPod does not respond to touch. Help me!

After upgrade firmware with iTunes my iPod does not respond to touch.
To be more precise - works, but very, very bad. And around the icons on the display is visible GRAY line of width 1 px.
Please HELP me! This iPod - the gift for my girl.

Thanks all, i solved the problem yourself.

IPad 3G 64Gig not responding to touch

I have a serious problem with my iPad and would really like some resolve to the challenges I'm encountering. My iPad (3G 64G) stopped working in December 2013 after I did an iOS update (not responding to touch gestures). I did everything to try revive it, from hard shutdown to reset and nothing works.
On the 16th May 2014 it started working after i brought it to a certified Apple repairs store (MacPlus) in Jamaica for a diagnosis. The results given is that there is a defective chip on the circuit board that is contributing to the problem, and while doing their test the device worked for an hour then stopped responding. When I went to collect the device, it started working until the 27th May it stopped working at 6:58pm. Later that night (10:50pm) it started responding to touch again, but by the morning of the 28th it is gone again till this moment.
My question now is, what is the root cause of this problem (base on the situation laid out) and how unique is it? What kind of resolution can Apple now give me when this problem started manifested itself just after the warranty has expired? Can you refer me to an Apple Store/Support to have this problem resolved and how much would it possibly cost to get this done?
I await your earliest response.
Thank you.

This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple. We have no way to know what and when Apple will do something. You'll have to wait for an announcement by Apple.

My i pad is not responding to touch

My ipad is not responding to touch. It is very slow and most of the time does not work at all. THis problem occured a few days after I updated to the newest version. It is an ipad1

I have an iPad 1 as well that I updated when the iOS was first released a few weeks ago and I think that the new update really sparked my iPad into "new life" again. It's so hard to tell what will happen when you update - ideally the performance of the device should improve - and not fall off.
Have you tried closing any/all open/running apps in the recents tray? Close them all and restart - see what happens.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

My Safari screen is grayed out. It does not respond to touch. How to bring it back to life?

My Safari screen is grayed out. It does not respond to touch. How can I restore it back to life?

Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut down. then hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears to start up.
You can also reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep button and home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears (takes about 10 seconds) - ignore the red slider.
