IPhone 6 touch sensitivity problem near edges of screen

I'm wondering if others are experiencing the problem I'm having with the sensitivity of the touch screen near the edges of the screen.
Often times I have the press harder or multiple times on buttons near the edges of the screen. When typing on the keyboard, it will often miss my first attempts at pressing the letters "A", "Z", "123", "L", etc. When using the calculator, I often have to press the "+" or "1" two or more times before it recognizes the press. All of these letters are near the edges of the screen. I tried typing on my wife's iPhone 6 Plus and do not have the same problem.
Do I have a faulty touchscreen, or is this a common problem?

After much troubleshooting and a phone replacement (for an issue with the home button too), the problem appears to be software related. On my replacement phone the problem continued when I restored from an iTunes or iCloud backup. But when I set up the phone as a new device then manually entered my 10 email accounts, re-downloaded my 100+ apps, set all my customizations, etc. - the touch screen works fine. I've even backed up and restored the new setup and old setup several times to confirm this.
All I can think of is there's likely screen size setting that's carried over from the iPhone 5 backup, that's mis-matched on the larger screen on the iPhone 6.
I wish Apple would involve me in beta testing their new software/devices and I could help them figure this stuff out, and save myself and other from countless hours of setting up their phone again. A selective restore would be nice (accounts and apps, but not settings).

  • Nokia 701 touch sensitive problem

    I have with me 701 with the latest firmware version, i often have touch sensitive problem. Sometimes it get ok by just switch off the phone and sometime by removing battery (becoz then button too don't work).
    what should i do?
    Someone Plz help !

    Hi salih_367,
    Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums!
    We're sorry to hear about your problem. It seems that your Nokia 701 headphone plug has a connectivity problem. As the problem is likely caused by the phone hardware, it is something you cannot fix yourself without voiding the warranty.  What you can do however, is to check if the socket may have gotten some dirt or fluff in and try clean it. 
    If the problem persists, we would advise you to visit your nearest Nokia Care Point and let them have a look. 
    Let us know how you get on,

  • Re: after update 4.3.5 i am facing touch sensitivity problem the iphone 4 is acting funnily... corner of the screen is not responding at all  i cant use any apps, letters, numbers at the corner of the screen

    Recently i have updated my iphone 4 to latest 4.3.5 update using itunes... from the time i have updated... i am facing problems... like touch sensitivity... like cant attend the call at one swipe... cant use any applications at the corner of the screen... some times i touch message icon... it moves to next page... some times in the applications without touching the screen in the app the features get activated...    is it the problem with the software update or my iphone is having any problem with screen...
    please let me know what should i do...

    Do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide, Appendix B:
    Restart phone
    Reset phone
    Restore in iTunes using a backup
    Restore as a new iPhone, without using a backup.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf
    Also, remove any screen protector.
    If none of the above works, there is a hardware problem that needs evaluation by Apple or whoever provides iPhone warranty service in your country.

  • IPhone 2G touch sensitivity offset

    Hey folks,
    I have an old iPhone 2G running iOS 3.1.3, wich I am using for developements and
    tests.
    It suddently started to lose touch sensitivity on an horizontal strip at the bottom, but then it started to gain touch sensitivity on a horizontal strip at the top above the screen border. Both strips are abouth the same height, so I am suspecting that my iphone touch sensitivity is kind of offset off its normal position.
    Has anyone experienced this problem?
    I already tried to restore, hard reset, jailbreak, shake, heat, etc.
    Can it be solved using a path / bootloader / downdgrade or another software workaround? I cant take my iphone to the app store, genius bar or whatever, because I am hundreds of kilometer far away from one :-)
    Any help will be apretieted.

    Error 26 is a hardware failure. Apple does not "fix" iphones(except for screen replacement & battery replacement). If your phone is under warranty & Apple determines the failure is covered by said warranty, it will be replaced. If your phone is not under warranty, you will have to find a third party repair facility. Note: warranty & service for iphones is only provided in the country the phone was originally purchased in from an official supplier.

  • IPad Air 2 touch sensitivity problems

    I purchased and iPad Air 2 two days ago.  I noticed the screen had sensitivity problems around the outer edges which were apparent when trying to use the keyboard.  Keys such as "Q," the microphone button and then pressing "done" as well as the character keyboard button and switching between various keyboards, etc. where not responding well to touch.  I exchanged it for another one the next day, brought it home and it exhibited the same problems.  Brought the second one back the store and the two sales associates noted the same thing only they had not come across this before.  They brought out another one which I tried at the store and it had the same unresponsive key problems.  Each iPad exhibited different degrees of this problem.  Bouncing between keys "q" "a" "z" in rapid succession or trying to select the different character keyboards at the very bottom of the screen made the problem.  Sometimes trying to compose an email or deleting one using the icons at the top of the screen exited the same problems.  That was three iPad Air 2's.  Several demo units exhibited the same problem while several others did not.  Is this a defective manufacturing issue or a potential design flaw associated with the new laminated layers of screen?

    Two of the three demo units at the Apple store worked great.  One of them exhibited the same problems I had.  Composing emails was a problem as well as trying to delete email.  Oddly, another persons iPad I tried worked well but they ordered their's online through Apple.  I beginning to believe that there is flawed lot of manufactured iPads.  I refuse to try to buy another one at the Apple Store in RI right now.  I may try to order one online and see what happens.  If that exhibits problems, then I'm done with the iPad Air 2 period.  I'll wait another year or so for the next version.  I would take your's back if I were you. 
    P.S. One thing I noticed with all the problem iPads is that if you're using them microphone button on the keyboard, each model's "ding" noise had some crackling sound with it.  I could replicate it if I waited for a minute or so.  If I pressed the microphone button immediately afterward, it sounded normal.  It's weird - not sure if it's related or not to the sensitivity issue.

  • Only bottom half of iphone is touch sensitive...

    I dont know what just happened but only the bottom portion of the touchscreen on my iphone is now touch sensitive.. I'm hoping turning it off and then on will somehow magically solve the problem..Is there anyway I can turn off the phone without sliding it off?

    Yes you can reset the iPhone
    follow the below video
    http://movies.apple.com/movies/us/apple/iphone/2007/tips/iphone-tip-resetiphone560x316.mov
    if this doesnt help do a full restore from within iTunes
    _+Note: A full Restore will delete all media and data. All settings will be reset as well. If possible, sync iPhone with iTunes before restoring to back up your most recent settings.+_
    Hope this helps

  • Touch sensitivity problem after latest update iOS 6.1

    Hi guys,
    does anyone else have the same problem? After updating my iPhone 5 to latest version iOS 6.1, touch screen stared to work wierd. I have to slide a few times just to unlock my screen. Can not poroperly open any application and when I want to scrool, that's pain in the ***.
    Can anyone help me about this? Is that problem with the update iOS 6.1 or my iPhone5, 3 motnhs old become broken?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi. I have a 3 years old 3GS which i have updated whenever a new iOS was avaialble. This has been working with improvements besides the fact that the phone gradually is becomming slower with increased functions and especially from iOS 6.0 and up. It has however worked ok keeping in mind that it is a 3 years old phone. With the latest update to iOS 6.1, however, the use af the iphone has severely been affected, much like you other guys are experiencing. The below described behavior of the iphone has never happened before, until the faithfull morning of the 4th of februar, 2013 when i accepted to update the iOS to 6.1. Immediately after the update the problems started:
    When sliding to unlock the phone it takes several attemps (sometimes 10 or more) before the slider actally follows my finger to the end and the iphone unlocks.
    When typing  (eg. a text msg. or email message), it is now allmost impossible to type a meaningfull message because some of the keys do not respond and other only respond to a very hard press. Only when typing very slowly, making sure the touchscreen is actually responding, a usefull message can be made. It seems like the sesitivity of the touchscreen has been altered making it less sensitive.
    The same behaviour is observed for other functions and Apps like games which are now impossible to use due to the poor response of the touch screen.
    Now i only wish i could roll back the iOS to an earlier version (like 5.1.1) where the iphone was really working well.
    I really hope that a new and improved iOS will be out soon to correct for this problem

  • Wifi with iphone and touch- safari problems- internet sharing solved.

    This has probably been mentioned before but if you are one of the poor sods like me who spent hours trying to figure out why your iphone or ipod touch would connect to your wifi (via mac internet sharing) but safari would never find web pages then here is the solution.....
    buy leopard.
    i spent countless hours reading forums, messing with settings on mac and iphone and the best it would ever work for would be about 5 seconds then stop, it drove me insane. for the life of me i had no idea why my iphone would not work properly with my mac mini.
    'when you tried to share your internet connection via airport iphone would find it but safari wouldnt work'.
    so, i bought leopard the other day (upgraded from tiger) and it worked perfect 1st time and still does, no issues at all.
    i know this has probably been mentioned but i wanted to save some time and tears for those who have not yet found the solution, but unfortunatly its spending £85.
    cheers

    Could be a GMail setting, but my GMail works just fine.  You might try removing your GMail account again and re-add it as an Exchange Account rather than using the standard GMail profile:
    http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252
    This has the advantage of keeping your Google contacts and calenders in sync with your iPhone, but it may also get around whatever GMail problem you're having.

  • Nokia 701 Touch sensitivity problem and wi-fi conn...

    Sometimes touch screen do not respond, but after 5 to 10 seconds it gets its normal working condition. Sometimes I have to lock and unlock the screen to get normal working of touch screen.
    I have two access points saved in my mobile—one is mobile data and another is wi-fi (my wi-fi connection required id and passowd to connect).I use mobile data outside and at home I used wi-fi. But when I switch to wi-fi from mobile data. My access point automatically moved from internet to uncategorized folder. Therefore application which used internet are not working. Please provide any solution.

    the problem with the transition point of access(Wi Fi) from INTERNET  into OTHER and as a consequence it is not possible through the connection because the default in the INTERNET, but this problem can be circumvented by creating an access point Wi-Fi (or move) in the WAP        and set the WAP system by default.
    Then everything is fine.
    Developers why?
    It may need to fix?
    By the way, not only I have a problem, other users, too, writes that just happens.

  • Iphone 6 Touch to return to call turns screen off before password

    Just got this phone few days ago.. When going to voicemail it asks for password and when trying to return to call either im unable to
    return to the call with screen turning blank... Sometimes it won't let me enter the password at all and just flickers off. Thus can't use the number key cause the screen flickers OFF. If there's no resolution this this issue I am considering returning the phone.
    Thanks

    You have other issues going on if you are having to call your voicemail number and you are on AT&T. They support visual voicemail and you should be downloading the voicemail to your phone and not having to deal with a phone call at all. Call AT&T and have them reset your voicemail if it makes a phone call when you tap on the voicemail button.

  • Touch sensitivity on iPhone 5. #someone please help me

    Do you guys have any problem with your iPhone 5 touch calibration/sensitivity when it reached between 90%-100% while charging?? Because my iPhone has that such problem. When I'm using my iPhone 5 while it is in charging state between 90%-100%, the touch callibration seems to have some problems. For example, when I am typing message or email, most of the times it will go back or return to home folder by itself although I do not touch the back button.
    **Can someone helps me to solve this problem? Or do I need to contact Apple Customer Service?**
    ###Thank you guys! ###

  • Hi I have a problem I forgot my pass for unlocking iphone with Touch ID.Someone know how I can remuved

    Hi I have a problem I forgot my pass for unlocking iphone with Touch ID.If someone know how I can remuved please tell

    to be able to restore you need to put it into recovery mode first so it won't ask for the passcode
    this article will go over how to put into recovery mode at the bottom of the article:
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    basically with it being powered off hold the home button while plugging it in and keep holding the home button until it shows the iTunes logo with a chord and it will then let you restore the device in iTunes

  • Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

    Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

    It's either hand right or left.
    I have the same issue myself.  Not sure if it's b/c my fingers are too big or if I'm really missed the letter on the keyboard.

  • IPhone 6 (plus) Problem Display Edges Chipping (breaking away) or broken from factory (underside) No warranty coverage by Apple!

    ACHTUNG! iPhone 6 (plus) Problem: Chipped (broken) edges of display glass. Owner Beware! Apple denied warranty coverage.
    Can this be true?
    Recently I found a little trace on the edge of my iPhone 6. Very small, at the bottom edge of the display glass.
    You could hardly make it out, but visible enough to catch the eye.
    Since my iPhone 6 has never dropped or bumped in any way, I addressed this issue to AppleCare support, and sent them the device.
    The upshot: Diagnostics of the technician’s: broken glass! Warranty coverage: DENIED!
    This damage comes from improper usage or is an accidental damage.
    The AppleCare adviser also confirmed that this device also is not qualified for any further warranty claim, because of the broken display.  (See Appels warranty conditions).
    Apple returned my phone unrepaired. The sim tray was missing, and a note in the return package said, that warranty repair was denied and that I can buy a new device at apple store.
    For me it is OBVIOUSLY a PRODUCTION ERROR by the manufacturer, and has to be fixed for free within the warranty.
    I made pictures of this problem so you can see what I mean.
    I can only recommend to anyone urgently, to carry a 10x loupe (preferably illuminated) to the store, if you are going to buy an iphone 6 or 6 plus.
    Otherwise, if you catch a device with chipped edges on the glass you are out of warranty.
    Please notice that the complete bottom edge has marks of broken and chipped glass!
    I think the whole construction with the round edges is the problem. The glass is simply too thin at the edges.
    It could be more iPhones suffering the same problem.
    Btw: The glass surface on top is perfectly intact. The broken pieces are on the bottom!
    You can feel nothing if you do not take the display apart.
    However, I set up a mail with my lawyer and am waiting how Apple will respond.
    They are of course also invited to discuss on community portals worldwide about this.
    Please let me know what you think and if someone had success with the same problem.

    Hi. I have the same problem. Unpacked a new iPhone6 and the phone had a small chip under the glass on the edge. Local store says that this is not covered as it would have been incorrect use. Pretty strange as it came out of the box like this and the metal edge of the phone is perfect (which shows that it was not dropped), just the glass is chipped (looks as if the chip is inside of the glass). To me it looks like a production issue as the glass is curved and gets thinner towards the edges. Would be interested if more people have the same issue in order to put a claim forward to Apple.....
