IPhone Acting Weird

My iPhone has suddenly started giving me problems with its pop-up keyboard. For some reason it will not allow me to use the bottom row of buttons on the keyboard (the ".?123" button, the spacebar, and the "return" button). It simply will not let me click them. Additionally, I can't even send text messages because it won't let me click the text bar at the bottom of the screen to send reply texts. My use of my iPhone is greatly hindered now and I do not know what to do. I have tried restarting as well as resetting my iPhone several times and it still does not work. Does anyone have any idea what to do?

  • Help!  iPhone acting weird!

    When I clicked the home button, on iPod, my original iPhone would not go back to the Home screen. So I thought pressing the home button and the power button at the same time would restart the phone, but it did not. Instead I got a blank white screen, and I can do nothing!! Someone help!!

    I figured it out. It seems that I had to press and hold to reset iPhone. Only pressing and holding for a second will result in a blank screen!

  • IPhone acting weird and won't wake from sleep.

    Hi All,
    I have a first Gen. iPhone and loved it until last weekend. The screen went white and wouldn't turn off, reset, hard reset, nothing. Even though I start with a full battery I can leave it connected to my Macbook overnight and after hours and hours the BIG red low battery symbol will be displayed with a sliver of red and the connected to a power source shows. After a normal charge time it will show a full charge and work fine as long as it stays hooked to the USB port. After that sometimes I can unplug it and it will work fine as long as I don't let the phone go to sleep if I do I have to start the whole process of waiting hours for the iPhone to be recognized by my Macbook. Other times it goes to sleep and can't wake up, no reset or hard reset or hooking it back to the USB port will wake it up or cause it to be recgonized by my Macbook.
    Also sometimes as I'm trying to wake the iPhone with the Home+sleep button procedure the screen will come alive and show scrolling vertical lines instead of the all white screen.
    Any ideas? Oh ya', the iPhone is about 5 weeks past warranty

    I have an IPhone 4, and I wanted to reset it, but couldn't do it via computer because the "find my IPhone" was turned on. So I went to ICloud > Find My IPhone and just erased my phone from there. The was acting weird but I finally got to a black screen with the spinning circle. And it won't advance. I can't just hold the sleep button and home button down because my sleep button is broken! Any help? I have reset my phone before.

    Hey there MeKai Curtis,
    It sounds like your touch screen is acting strangely when connected to a power source. I recommend the steps in the following article:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1827
    Restart your device
    Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
    If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
    Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
    If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
    If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see theService FAQ for your product.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Camera app acting weird - not saving photos - iphone 6 plus

    I just got my iphone 6 plus... I'm trying to use the stock camera app and it's acting weird.  I'm able to focus and take a photo... after I take a pic, you know how the little thumbnail of that photo appears on the bottom left of the app?  You should be able to touch that and then view in full screen your last pic, right?  Well here is when it starts acting up... When I touch it, nothing happens!  I exit the app and go to the photos app and my picture isn't there!  The app doesn't appear to freeze - as I can still view the screen and what the camera is looking at!  Before the 1st photo is "taken" I am able to choose between any of the photo types (square, pano, video, slo mo, time lapse)... but the same thing will happen no matter which photo I choose.  If I pick a video, the video begins and then the touch part doesn't work... the video will run on 'forever' or until i press the home button - in which case the video isn't saved.
    I have restarted my phone many times... and even done the power cycle (where you hold the sleep/lock and home button at same time)
    Any ideas?  Please help - this is a 2 day old phone and the camera doesn't work properly.
    What is really weird is that I can post a photo taken by instagram with no problem.. I can also use the Camera Awesome app but the photos aren't saved in the photos app... even if I try to export to camera roll in camera awesome!
    Thanks

    Hey Bender1031,
    Thanks for the question, I can definitely understand how frustrating this issue may be with a brand new phone. Great troubleshooting so far by already attempting a restart and reset. If the issue persists, let’s try restoring your device and updating to the latest software (iOS 8.0.2):
    Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
    - If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
    - If the issue is now resolved, sync one type of content at a time back to the device. For example, if you had an issue playing music, add songs from iTunes and confirm they will play. If your contacts weren't loading successfully, add the contacts back. After each sync, test to see if the issue has returned.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I am using Iphone 5. Since the last 3 weeks the phones has been acting weird. on dialling a call it get hung on disconnecting it stays on the call ending screen only. this happens for atleast 5 to 7 minutes and then it gets to normal

    I am using Iphone 5. SInce the last 3 weeks the phones has been acting weird. on dialling a call it get hung on disconnecting it stays on the call ending screen only. this happens for atleast 5 to 7 minutes and then it gets to normal or the other way is to turn the device off and then turn it on. the phones also running slow and therefore at times becomes very cumbersome. a few of my friends have also been having the same problems.
    I have taken the phone to the service outles but the best they did was to reboot the phone it works fine for a day or two but again the same issue.
    Can anyone share any info on it?

    I'm glad to hear that they replaced your phone. Any experience I have had with Apple customer service and/or Genius bar has been extremely positive. While I have had positive outcomes from trouble with other phones in the past, they are not as quick and  friendly. I had a Motorola phone and a Samsung phone go bad several years ago and warranty work through AT&T required that I wait for a replacement unit and then mail back the original unit to keep from being charged for the device. This usually meant almost a week without a phone. Nice to walk into Apple and walk out with a replacement device. Enjoy your phone.

  • Help with Spry, acting weird in Mac Os 10.5 10.6, 10.7 and Ios Devices

    I use Dreamweaver CS4 for designing our school website.  The url is http://www.stpiusxschool.org
    The menu bar on the left is built with a Spry Asset, it is to expand to different choices on some of the lines.  The issue started about a month ago, if I click on the first item that should expand out (Parent Resources) it will not expand out, then I choose the second one (Student Resources) it expands out, I go back to Parent Resources and it will expand....this happen on Mac 10.5 and Ios Devices (Ipad, and Iphone)
    On Mac 10.6 menu bars will never expand out.
    I have tried many things, I have ran the Spry Updater and uploaded those files.  I have built a page outside of my site, it appears to work ok, then copied that Spry Asset folder into the site, no luck. 
    I have built a second spry on a test page within the site, and tried it out, it doesn't seem to work correct either.  It can be accessed off the main page mentioned above, scroll to the bottom and click on test, that is just what it is a test page.
    School is starting soon and this site is used a lot for resources during the day.
    I have called Adobe and got no where with them but that even took hours.
    If someone could help me out that would be awesome.
    By the way, I know nothing about coding itself.
    Thanks

    You have got two problems
    The menu is acting weird in Mac as well as on PC
    The menu does not behave in IOS devices
    The solutions
    Add the DOCTYPE Declaration to your document(s)
    Replace the current SpryMenuBar for an IOS friendly MenuBar
    1. You can add the HTML5 document type as follows, making sure that there are no blank lines before <!DOCTYPE HTML>
    <!DOCTYPE HTML>
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>St Pius X School des moines iowa</title>
    The title already existsin your document. I put it there so that it is easier to see where the rest goes.
    2. There is a Spry Menu Bar 2.0 available here http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=2141544

  • IPHONE 5 weird screen responses when plugged in

    I noticed recently my IPHONE 5 6.0.2 has started to act weird when plugged in, I am on my third iphone 5, Returned the other two firstly becaue of battery issues and then wifi issues now its crazy when plugged in.

I am using the cable and plug that came with it plugged into the wall socket. Hang on to i test plugged into my computer.,......same even more spastic if that was possible whaaaa whaaaaa whaaaaayyyyyy is this happening to me!!!!!

  • Apps acting weird and doing actions against my will.

    Hello I'm here to write about the latest issue I got on my iPhone 5c, while I was writing a message my app started acting weird. Successively I moved to another app and it did the same thing so I suppose it's a general problem.
    Ex: while I write my iPhone clicks and opens other options on the page by itself.
    While I scroll down on tumblr app it clicks other options by itself like unfollow, changes pages, as if I clicked those options but I didn't.
    Like on whatsapp for instance, while I write it opens the user id, the user info, shuts the keyboard down as if I did it but I didn't at all.
    Also now while I'm here writing this sometimes it acts as if I clicked on he top bar and opens the http:// of this page, but I didn't.
    While I'm on drafts/notes app it does the same, I wrote a long message last night hoping it would help being that out of an app which needs connection but it happen again; while I was about to finish it clicked the delete button by itself and everything disappeared.
    Also now again, I luckily copied this email line by line in order to prevent it from delete everything I wrote again.
    I just need to know if there's something I can do or if I should just take it back to an apple store since it's still pretty new..

  • Iphone acts like im touching the screen when im not

    my phone wont unlock and i can only get it to slide about 1/4 of the way across the unlock bar and if i do get it to unlock it types in a random pass code and locks me out and if i manage to get past both of these it sometimes will open up apps and messages and it always types in the bottom row of the keyboard and tries to copy and paste random stuff. i recently had my screen replaced and im wondering if that has anything to do it but im also wondering if it might bw an iOS problem because ive read on here that some other peoples phones are acting weird and a few of my friends are..

    do a reset
    hold home /sleep buttons UNTIL Apple logo appears , ignore red off slider .
    If the screen was replaced by a " Phoneshop " rather than Apple then take it back they have screwwed up your iPhone and now the warranty is void and Apple will not ever provide service or help with that device

  • My MacBook was acting weird so I restarted it and when I login a white screen flashes and goes back to the login page. Help?

    My MacBook was acting weird like sometimes I would log on and I wouldn't be able to type my password for a couple seconds,but it usually logged in after that. Then I left my computer open after installing the recent update after that all my applications were not responding. So I shut it down, when I turned it back on about an hour later it went to this loading screen and then to the login like usual. After I tried logging in a white screen flashed and it went back to the login/ password screen like nothing happened. Any ideas on what happened and what I can do to fix it?

    Reinstall OS X;
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
