IPhone display is acting strange, going crazy!

Hey guys,
I have a pretty big issue with my iPhone 4. I bought it more than a year ago, therefore it cant be neither repaired nor replaced with the Apple warranty. The issue I noticed is that while I dont touch my phone, it seems to do strange things. The display somehow lives its own life. I don't have to touch the phone for it to switch to iPod mode, camera mode, sometimes contacts. It's really frustrating because the phone without me even realizing sometimes calls my contacts. I always kept it in a rubber case, and never have I dropped it to the ground. So I definitely dont think I'm the one to be blamed, and Apple will not repair or replace the phone since it's not under warranty. I tried updating the software, but that doesnt help either.
Do you have any advice, what I could do with the phone in order to get rid of this issue? Is there anything I can do? Please let me know as its very frustrating to use this messed up device.
I'm definitely hoping for some help from you Apple fans.
Best regards,

If you have restored iPhone Firmware, and the problem still is present, then there are two likely possibilities. First is faulty Digitizer, requiring entire new front screen assembly. Other is the power management circuitry is causing surges within iPhone effecting Digitizer. If this was my iPhone I would seriously consider buying new phone. If you want, Apple Store fix, would be Replacement iPhone 4 exactly same as yours for $149.

  • Touch screen on iPhone 5 is going crazy when i'm typing and using my apps

    is anyone having issues with the sensitivity of the touch screen on iphone 5?  Mine is going crazy!

    Just had exactly the same problem and the stress it caused!
    My phone was calling people, deleting emails and then locking me out because the screen wouldn't respond properly when i tried to put my passcode in...
    Thank you so much for this info.. i rebooted with the power and home button, gave the screen a good wipe with a lint free cloth and crossed my fingers..
    So far, so good. I may even be able to cancel my genius bar appointment for Sunday.
    Thanks again!

  • Iphone 4 and iphoto upgraded to latest - now acting strange

    i just updated my iphone 4 and the latest iphoto software - and now it's acting strange:
    when i've taken new photos on the iphone and plug it in to the imac, to load the pics into iphoto, it shows the latest photos as well as some random photos from 6 months ago.
    before the updates i would just plug in and only the newest photos would show up.
    any idea what's going on?
    thanks!

    still trying to find a solution... does anyone have any idea? thanks!

  • My iPhone 5 goes crazy. Help

    My iphone 5 goes crazy, open and close apps, and gets things done without touching the screen.
    Buy a new display and I did installed by a technician but also remains the same and I have restored it twice.
    Help.

    Mi iphone 5 se vuelve loco, se abren y se cierran aplicaciones, y hace las cosas sin tocar la pantalla.
    Compre una nueva pantalla y la hice instalar por un técnico, pero también sigue igual de loco y ya lo he restaurado dos veces.
    Ayuda.

  • My iPhone 4 fails to restore. Using iTunes, at step 3 of 4, displays "Restarting Sync" and goes to step 1 of 4, and then forever.

    It all started with a blank screen on a frozen iPhone. Doing the sleep and home button reset seemd to solve the problem, but then the apple logo started to show in the middle of calls, and finally, mail, camera, facebook and pulse apps failed to start, returning to the home screen after a few seconds. So it looked like a restore with ITunes was the solution. I was able to back up the iPhone. The restore process sems to start fine, but the process cycles forever, at step 3 of 4, display "Restarting Sync" and goes again. It seems it can´t pass from step 3.
    I have tried doing the restore from recovery mode with the same result. IOS is 6 and ITunes is 10.7.
    An interesting thing, is that as I kiled the restore process and disconnected the iPhone from the USB cable connected at the Mac Book and then used the phone as "Normal" it seemed that all the data and settings where restored, but not the apps; camera and mail keep failing to start, but the interesting thing is that the battery drains very quickly, in a matter of 4 hours.
    Any suggestions or ideas will be very welcomed.

    Try Recovery Mode:
    1. Start iTunes.
    2. Plug phone into a USB port on the computer, not an external hub or keyboard port.
    3. Press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo reappears, then continue pressing the home button alone until iTunes detects the phone in Recovery Mode.
    4. Follow the prompts to restore.
    If recovery mode doesn't work, you likely have a hardware problem that needs service/replacement

  • Iphone 5C wifi greyed out and screen going crazy

    Hi I bought my iPhone back in October in Us from Tmobile, since December the wifi greyed out and hasn't worked once (been living on data) now recently the screen goes crazy, it types by its self unlocks the phone (dont have a password) sometimes calls people etc... now the thing is I recently moved to Dubai and I cant go to a apple store as we do not have one here, so could I ship my phone to States and have apple repair it or give me a replacement if I pay for their shipping costs back to Dubai ? Thanks for any help I can get

    If not jailbroken, restore the iOS. Most likely there is a hardware problem
    The warranty is valid only in the USA.  Apple will not accept shipment from or ship to any address outside the USA for this phone.

  • Iphone 5 Battery Charging Acting Strange

    The last few days my Iphone 5 has been acting strange with charging the battery.  I will be charging it and it will not go past a certain number then if i unplug it a couple times or restart it then it says 100%.  It will be ok for a little while and then go through the same thing.  Yesterday my phone said 36% and a couple minutes later shut itself down because it was a 0%.  So the number is just not reading correctly.
    Is this just as simple as changing the batter most likely?  Or something else, other than this the phone works fine as far as i can tell

    Always try to charge iPhone when convenient for you. You can use iPhone right out of box, no problems, or you can charge it up if convenient. The best time for most users to charge iPhone is at night while they are sleeping so it is fully charged for the next day. The iPhone lithium battery is very versatile, so charge when convenient for you, it will not effect performance or life.

  • My iphone screen goes crazy when it charges

    Hey there,
    Whenever I charge my iPhone my screen goes crazy when I touch it. If i'm typing whilst its charging it clicks random things and deleted what i've typed. The phone works completely fine when its not charging and I haven't had any other problems with it. I have the iPhone 5c iOS 7.1.1 (about to update after this post).
    If anyone could help me that would be great!
    Ps. Someone posted a video and my phone does the same
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbsNCjbs-xg

    I have the same exact problem and I use an Apple charger and lightning wire cord. Resetting the phone doesn't work and neither does shutting it off and turning it back on. It is infuriating to say the least, especially because this stupid phone spends more time on the charger than off. The battery is crap.

  • HT204380 My phone (iPhone 5S) getting green display after one second going to switch off then automatically ON during FaceTime

    My iPhone (iPhone 5S) getting green display after one second going to switch off then automatically ON during FaceTime call. My OS version now 7.0.4. I think recent update actually to fix the above issue but still continues.

    Similar issue Andrew.  After installing 8.0, the IOS deleted 225 songs from one of my playlists, and I'm still "recalling"  songs that are no longer in my Music Library.  Fortunately, although the playlist of 235 had only 6 songs left on it ( on my  Mac), the Playlist was not erased from my I -Phone.  I was able to recreate the Playlist on my Mac, using the intact playlist on my phone.  When I synched however, I was back to square one.  I went to the Apple store, and I had to reset the phone .  We also downloaded IOS 8.02.  They saved my playlist in the Cloud, deleted it from my Mac, then synched it.  Lo and behold, the playlist I recreated on my Mac, synched to my I Phone.  After the reset, I had like 11GB of free space.  (Its been 5 days since the "reset" and the number of GBs fluctuates from day to day !!)
    When I got home from the Apple store I spent after  hours reinstalling all the apps, synchng the phone to the Bluetooth in my car ( you know the rest of the saga) , I purchased a song from I Tunes.  I "drag and dropped" it into a Playlist, and synched.  Didn't work.  Song shows in "Recently Added", but the drag and drop feature doesn't work.  Bottom line,  I'm not willing to "reset" my phone every time I add a song !  I've tried any number of fixes posted to this support community, but none have worked for me.
    Furthermore,  it took me 3 hours to get the phone re-synched to the Bluetooth system  in my car.  However every time I connect to "Bluetooth Audio", the system needs to "find" and "reconnect to" my phone.    If you ( or anyone else ) finds  something that might work for both the music synch and /or the Bluetooth, I'd appreciate your input. 
    Thanks, Lorenzo

  • How can i stop icloud from downloading all my photos onto my iphone 4s each time I sync. Then, how do I delete them from my phone, there are no delete options. I'm slowly going crazy.

    How can i stop icloud from downloading all my photos onto my iphone 4s each time I sync. Then, how do I delete them from my phone, there are no delete options. I'm slowly going crazy.

    Hi iprover,
      Let me first say that I am NO EXPERT with anything Apple and really have only started looking into this iCloud stuff a few hours ago because I'm trying to help my mom free up some space on her iCloud. But anyway, here's what I'm learning and what I THINK might be happening to you.
    Also, if any Apple support people (do they browse the forums to dish out helpful hints?) or people who probably know infinitely more than me about this stuff, please do chime in and confirm / correct my statements!
    This is what I gather.
    iCloud for Windows is set up with a local folder (let's call it "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream") where iCloud will store photos uploaded to the Photo Stream. This will allow you to view your Photo Stream photos on your PC.
    This does not mean that this is a PC backup of your Photo Stream photos, but just a way to view your Photo Stream from your PC. That being said, the general Photo Stream rules apply: 1. No videos are on the photo-stream, and 2. Photos on the Photo Stream will be removed after ~30 days and/or after hitting the Photo Stream limit of 1000 photos.
    My guess is that the iCloud Windows App will delete photos from the local folder that are older than ~30 days and/or delete all but the most recent 1000 items if the 1000-item limit is reached.
    That is a scary thought! I really hope you did not lose all your pictures, but my guess is that the iCloud local folder is NOT meant for backup but instead is the iCloud Windows App's sandbox for updating and managing Photo Stream photos.
    All that being said, I'd say it's important to back up your photos in a separate folder not related to the iCloud local folder.

  • Nokia Lumia 925 display acting strange?

    Hello
    I am not really sure if this is some sort of hardware bug or not ! But I dont think it is normal, I will try to describe it as good as I possibly can but English its not my native language, I will try to take it on video though.
    I got my Lumia 925 few days ago (coming from L800 btw) and noticed that the display is acting little werid. Everytime I unlock the screen OR I tap the "back" button from any APP and I want to swipe the screen down/up/bottom/or else it is not responding. So everytime I close the app and I want to swipe display or click on some app (emails for example) I must wait like 1 or 1,5 second or the display wont register my touch. I dont think this is normal because I didnt have any similiar issue with L800 and thats way slower phone. I dont think that problem is me being too fast. The display is simply not registering first touch if its done too fast after unlocking or going back or multitasking.
    I tried soft reset but the problem still persist. Its not a big deal though but its really annoying cause sometimes I need to swipe really fast and the phone is just ignoring the first touch and only reacts on the second one when I need to get off the finger and touch it again.
    Any clues?
    I found a guy on forum describing similiar problem, I qoute:
    "The problem is now that when I hit the unlock button, it takes maybe a second or two for the touch screen to start working. I swipe up but nothing happens then a second later I swipe again and it works. If I lock the phone and then unlock immediately the screen normally starts working immediately but if I lock it, wait a minute and then unlock it I have to wait a second or two for the screen to start working.
    Really weird and definitely a software issue. Its not a huge issue, but is quite frustrating."

    You could try a hard reset if you like or if not send the device to a nokia care point or to point of purchase.
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
    Now using the Lumia 1520

  • My iPhone 4S screen is going crazy

    I bought my iPhone 4S 3 months ago. Since last week, after going under the airport X-rays, the screen is going crazy, either it freezes, or opens things randomly, or doesn't work on parts of the surface.
    The problem is that I bought it sim-lock free in Madrid's Apple store, but now I live in Tunisia. The only support here is provided by the carrier (Orange Tunisie) is for the iPhones sold by them. I don't know what to do. I thought the warranty was a global one for the sim-lock free ones.
    PLEASE HELP!

  • Iphone 3g mailboxes going crazy since upgrading software

    I upgraded my iphone 3g software last night and now my email is going crazy with unread messages. Messages that I had previously read are now showing up as unread and I am forced to clean out dozens if not hundreds of emails. What's up with this and is there an easier way around it than to delete or open every single message. Very annoying.

    As discussed in several threads on this forum, iOS4 on 3g is a pos. It slows down the iPhone to the point of uselessness. It's bad enough that even Apple has confirmed the issue but no date announced for a fix, if there is going to be one.

  • My Iphone 5 clock alarm isnt going off when its "on sound", it acts as if its on vibrate and doesnt wake me up. Started with the IOS upgrade. Is there a bug?

    My new Iphone 5 clock alarm isnt going off where I can hear it.  Its started on my 4S when I upgraded to IOS6 and even on the Itouch too.  I set the clock alarm, turn on sound (not silent), the alarm goes off, but no sounds comes out.   I have to reset home to get it to recognize its off, but that doesnt always work, it did it on both my Itouch and Iphone5 I almost over slept this morning because never of them went off and woke me up.   Acted as it the sound was down (which it wasnt) and it was on silent mode (which it wasnt)  Is there a bug with this?  I cant trust my phone now to wake me up.  Any help?  Thanks Tracey

    Same problem here. Me and my girlfriend swapped iphone 5's (she has white, I have black) in may and I rely on the alarm every morning to wake me up for work. It hasn't let me down.
    A few days ago I set 2 alarms very early in the morning to wake me up for an early morning flight. Neither alarm made a sound & I missed the flight!!
    We then swapped our phones back & she has just had exactly the same thing happen & has missed an important meeting at work. Again, quite an early morning alarm. The odd thing is I have a black iphone 5, also latest OS,  never had this happen to me...
    Has anyone solved this problem. I can't make it repeat (reset the same alarm for a different time & it goes off fine).
    Does I need to buy her a dedicated alarm clock!?!
