Iphone5 touch screen lost control and went crazy itself

I had my iphone5 for two weeks. The 2nd day after I had it I started to feel sometimes my touch screen commands were not very responsive. The 3rd day when I was using it with Safari, I totally lost control with the phone. Touch screen commands generated itself. The phone zoomed in automatically, keyboard poped out and started inputing itself with "," , "1", etc. I went to home screen, apps randomly launched itself and the pull down menu kept pulling itself half way. I had turned off and on the phone and the same things still happening. Ended up I restored my phone and it was ok initially. But everyday I felt the non-responsiveness getting more severe and eventually the phone started to go crazy from time to time for a brief moment. Today it completely lost control same as the first time it happened again. I restored it immdiately with itunes and on the initial configuration screen, I cannot even input the wifi password as it input itselfs with random numbers. I can certainly take it to apple store but it seems the problem is intermittant.
Anyone with iphone 5 have similar problem?

I had the same issue with my iPhone 4S. When I kept my finger on the touch screen to scroll, the content was jumping up and down. Sometimes I could hold my finger 3mm above the screen and it activated wildly buttons. In short the touch function has gone crazy. The Apple support could not help.
I suspected that it comes from an over sensitivity.
I put then a screen protection film on (which reduces the sensitivity) and the problem disappeared.

  • IPhone5 touch screen very slow and frozen every PM

    Is anyone knows what is going with this issue?  I tried reboot and it would be OK a few minutes then back to the same problem.  I am thinking may be it is just my phone.  I was going to return it to Apple store.

    This is the first post I've read on this. Since you posted in the iPhoto for iOS forum, does it seem to be related to iPhoto for iOS use?

  • HP Photosmart 7510 touch screen, power light and wifi lights won't turn on

    I bought my HP Photosmart 7510 over a year ago, just past warranty. I've printed less than 50 pages total at home and only 3 photos. Just as of two days ago, the touch screen decided not to work anymore, and the lights that usually come on next to the power button and wifi icon won't come on either. However, when I turn it on, the same tones sound out and the scanner and ink jets move around in their usual set-up. I've troubleshooted with trying several different ways of restarting it, but to no avail.
    HP tech support phone line was a joke, I got told by the first representative (before telling him which product I had or even offering to troubleshoot) that he was going to send a repairman to my house for $149. Over the price of my printer. So I tried calling back and spoke with a young woman who, when I asked if she would help me troubleshoot my printer, said "you can't troubleshoot that, only software". Then insisted that I pay $130 for a new printer. When I asked to be transferred to her supervisor, I was yelled at, told to again buy a new HP printer, and pushed off the phone.
    I have had several HP products, I always seek them out for the brand name and have trusted the merchandise. But one year of life in a product is just silly. And unforturnately, I won't be able to convince myself to buy another one for that kind of lifespan unless I can fix this. I know I'm not the first one with this issue, is there a RECALL I'm not aware of? How can I get this puppy working again?

    Hello cbroomhead,
    I am sorry to hear about your Photosmart 7510's touch screen showing blank and not working. I understand you can still hear the printer warming up when you power it on. I would like to post you a troubleshooting guide below to try in hopes to correct the issue.
    If you have tried all of the steps and the screen is still blank, you can also try another power cable if you have one.
    Blank Control Panel Display
    If you are able to have the screen come back on, also check for a Firmware Update.
    I hope this helps!

  • My ipod touch screen is broken and whenever i press the lock screen button, the screen is white, what can i do to fix this?

    so my ipod touch screen is broken, and whenver i try to unlock the ipod screen, all that i can see is the top right hand corner of my ipod, and the rest is all whited out. Also, the jack which support the headphones to stay in place, one of the balls in the jack is pushed in which causes the headphones and stereo jack to slip all the time. I also have a problem which is when i try to sync my ipod to itunes. Last time i did it(which was 4 years ago), i synced my ipod and i started out with 225 songs, after the syncing process was complete, i ended up with 119 songs. I'm afraid to resync my ipod or back up my ipod to a computer because i dont want to lose the wonderful collection of 589 songs i have now. I'd really appreciate it if i got some feedback. Thanks.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    Bummer. Hope you've been backing up to iCloud so you can restore your information after you get the phone replaced.

    Try to reboot it. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple, about 20 seconds or so. It should reboot and work for you.

    My Ipad2 touch screen has frozen and none of the apps will open. I can't do a shut down to reboot?

    Sorry, darned auto correct. Sleep and home. The home is the button on the front of your iPad. The sleep button is also the power down button. It's on the upper right edge of your iPad.
    My apologies for the typo. My keyboard is charging and the onscreen keyboard and I don't get along well.

    Hi abdelmagidosama,
    Welcome to the forum! Could be that the memory is low. Firstly clear the browser cache:
    Browser > Options (right bottom corner) > Settings > Privacy > Clear privacy data.
    Go to Nokia Store application > Options > Account > Settings > Installation preferences > Select something else than Phone memory. After this delete and reinstall possible application you have installed to phone memory.
    If the issue persists, then make a back up with Nokia Suite. Type in *#7370# = hard reset, phone memory will be wiped. Restore back up. If not helping, try to do the back up without settings.
    You can also reinstall the software. The process is the same when updating, but at the end select "reinstall".
    Hope you get the phone working normally again!

  • My ipod touch screen is white and i dont know how to fix it i already tried home button and lock and also restarting it but it still is white in the backgroud i can still hear the typing eventhough its all white

    Try restoring the iPod. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • The touch screen has frozen and is unresponsive.

    The touch screen has frozen and is unresponsive. I tried synching it to my Mac, updating it, dumping my apps and resetting as new, as the tech support guy at Apple suggested, but it still does not work. Now what? Sadly, my warrenty has expired.

    Frozen as on a particular image?
    If so you might want to try a hard power down (if you haven't already).
    I'm sure there are some better people to actually answer your direct question, other than me.
    Sorry

  • When I turn my ipod on why does the screen stay blank and then turn itself off?

    When I turn my ipod on the normal start up screen appears with the apple logo in the middle, but then after a few seconds the screen goes blank and it turns itself off. It was working fine the other day. I even charged it overnight to make sure that it wasnt because it was out of battery. I dont know what to do, it has over 600 songs on it and around 300 photos, I know that the memory isnt full because I checked the other day and it said I had around 1GB left. I cant do anything on at all because the screen just goes blank and then turns itself off. Please help, thank you

    Well, I strongly suspect that a gig isn't quite enough "extra" storage to allow operation.
    However, first, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
