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.

  • My iphone 4 touch screen is unresponsive

    My iphone 4 touch screen is unresponsive and I can not slide the arrow to unlock the screen or to poweroff the phone. I have reinstalled from my backup several times and still no change. I even rebooted the phone by holding the power switch and the hom ebutton, but still no changes.
    I'm wondering if i need to do a clean reinstall of the software to fix the problem or replace the phone (since it's still under warranty).
    Any suggestions

    sounds like you really didn't fix it correctly, doesn't it?  Since you did the work yourself, Apple won't even touch your phone now.  You'll need to bring it into a 3rd party repair shop.

  • My iPhone 4S touch screen is unresponsive and my Sleep/Wake button is also unworking.

    Hi. I have been having this bro;em yesterday and also today when i woke up. My Verizon iPhone 4S touch screen is un responsive sometimes then it workes other times. My Sleep/WAke button also doesnt work. My phone thinks that my sleep button is always being pushed so if my touch sreen is working i can do anything becuase my phone puts it self to sleep when i unlock it. I was on IOS 5.0.1 and then updated to IOS 5.1.1 thinking that this would help me but i didnt. I really need some help. Thanks in advance.

    A Restore is more thorough than an update. Try to Restore with iTunes on computer. If still problem, all iPhone 4S have full warranty, make Genius Appointment and return to Apple for resolution.

  • Ok my iphone 3g touch screen is not responding, i can recieve calls and it can charge and connect to itunes, but i cannot go any further than using the home button or the power button, but the slide feature and touch feature is non existent

    ok my iphone 3g touch screen is not responding, i can recieve calls and it can charge and connect to itunes, but i cannot go any further than using the home button or the power button, it is only the slide feature and touch feature that has become non existent.  Also, i have a f'ew cracks in my screen for a while now and it was running smoothly up until saturday when i sat on it applying large amounts of pressure to the phone screen.  Is there a way i can fix this myself without having to recover my phone to factory settings or wasting 50 bucks to get it fixed??

  • IOS 8.1.3 - iPhone 6 touch screen unresponsive

    I updated my iPhone 6 to iOS 8.1.3 last night. Seemed to work fine last night and early this morning.
    Now my touch screen is unresponsive. I can swipe up to reveal Control Center and swipe down to reveal Notifications - but can't interact with them.
    I can't shut off my phone (can't swipe across after holding down the Sleep/Wake button). Is it worth doing a hard reset? Anybody else having this problem with an iPhone 6?

    I did a hard reset. Seems to be working...for now...

  • 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.

  • Iphone 6+ touch screen issue erratic behavior

    iphone 6+ touch screen erratic behavior.  the main issue started this week, it comes and goes, and  starts with inability to even swipe the unlock slider, and which mimics that of trying to use phone with a wet hand. when tying who knows what will actually happen, app in use closes, opens, you end up on a different message while trying to respond to someones text.  clearly my inputs are not at all related to what the phone thinks is being pushed.  have done partial, settings, and a full restore and issues came back 2 days later.  deleted flesky and any apps installed in the last 30 days and the issues persist.  case on or off, factory charger and cables, zero moisture exposure all irrelevant to this issue manifesting itself.
    at this point i am thinking hardware and only because behavior of touch screen has been marginally flakey the last 6-8 weeks prior, i thought it might be certain apps, but certain areas of the touch screen seemed unresponsive especially near the center.  those issues too intermittent,  and because they were minor, i wrote them off to the apps themselves, or perhaps some bug in iOS8 that would be fixed in an update.
    so it seems likely the earlier issues were real and related to the phone and not too specific apps.  whatever it is it needs to be addressed immediately by apple as it is clear my issues are not isolated.  i do not have hours to spend at some genius bar trying to prove an intermittent issue exists.
    apple, what is your response?
    james

    Having the same issues with my 6+.  I've also seen these vertical stripes around the upper right of the screen periodically as well. I did some searches here and tried resetting the phone and a full restore from backup.  It seemed to resolve it for a little while then the erratic behavior came back.
    Today, I took it to the Genius Bar today and they are replacing the LCD screen under warranty.  When I get it back, I'll do another full restore and hope that fixes the issue.
    What's most frustrating is I've been an iPhone owner since the 3G and never experienced issues with the touchscreen like this.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Is anyone with a Macbook experiencing interference with their iPhone's touch screen?

    At first I thought my iPhone's touch screen was broken so I contacted apple. Before we could finish our chat, my internet crashed and we couldnt finish. Tonight I'm on my MacBook air wathcing Netflix and trying to use my iphone to text. The interference is so bad that when i hold my thumb on the screen in one spot, the phone will scroll for itself and typing is practically impossible. Is anyone else expierencing this problem? This problem didn't exist with my 4, But when I use my computer, my 5S is practically impossible to use near my Mac.

    Nope.

  • My iphone 5 touch screen seems to have a mind of its own. Please help

    My iphone 5 touch screen seems to have a mind of it's own. Whilst I am trying to type a text message it will quite often whilst i'm tapping on letters, typr different letters, or open up the edit messages to select and delete messages.
    The screen can quite often take up to 5 attempts to use the home button when the phone it locked to bring up the swipe to unlock, and even then sometimes it will take 4 or more attempts to swpie to unlock.
    Most recently I was on FB chatting and whilst typing, the letters were all coming out completely wrong, and then it was taking me into completely different screens, screens that whilst i'm tapping letters at the bottom on the screen, i'd have to ne touching a button at the top of the screem to actualy get into - yet my phone is doing it on it's own.
    It has even whilst sittig next to me on the bed, scrolled from my "home page" to the next page over ???
    i have spoken to Telstra who suggested a network restore, this did nothing. They suggested doing a back up, the a complete restore, which I am hesistant in doing as I have a fear of losing everything on my phone esxpecially my contacts, despite having done a back up.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Restart your iPhone...
    Hold down the sleep / wake button until you see the red slider then swipe to power off. Then hold down the sleep / wake button until you see the Apple logo.
    Try the keyboard. If that doesn't help, try force quitting the app you are using when the keyboard becomes unusable.
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then press and hold the Home button until the app quits.

  • My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

    My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

    Try this for the freezing

  • IPhone 6 touch screen spazzing out

    My new iPhone 6 touch screen randomly goes nuts. At first it was just a dead spot on the screen where the y key was located, it wouldn't let me touch anything there, then this issue stopped abruptly. Now it's just doing stuff on its own, opening apps and rapidly going from one app to another when I barely even touch it. (For instance, I opened Facebook and it randomly selected a person's status, jumped back to the newsfeed, went back to the status, copied someone's comment, went to search and pulled up a new person's profile, closed, opened YouTube, then I locked it and unlocked it to find Safari open. All within a few seconds.) I tried a hard reset, and the issue is persisting. I'm starting to hate this thing. It's such a nice phone, except for all this. Anything I can do, or do I just have to complain to the Verizon store and have them send me a new one?

  • My touch screen goes crazy when rain drops fall on it

    When I operate my phone in rain my touchscreen responds to the rain drops. My touchscreen responds crazy when raindrops fall on it.
