Keyboard is unresponsive on iPhone 5 with ios 7

I have upgraded to Ios 7 and my iphone is dysfunctional. A the screen is unresponsive and   It is so frustrating.  The keyboard lags, text messages are erased as I am typing, it takes multiple photographs each time, I need to swipe the phone a number of times before it answers a call.  Unable to end a call.  The list could go on forever.  I have followed all the advice I have found on this forum including a full restore.  It seems to have affected so many phone purchasers in our region.   is this a batch issue and is so when will Apple rectify the issue?

Have you tried this...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings

  • I have an iphone 5 with ios 6. I am trying to setup a new exchange email account. I need the backslash but it is not available. I can find it on other apps but not when trying to set up the mail account. (it is not on the  keyboard)

    I have an iphone 4s with ios 6. I am trying to setup a new exchange email account. I need the back slash but it does not show up on the keyboard. I know it is supposed to be on the +key (and is for other apps) but for some reason it is not available when setting up an email account. Is this on purpose or am I doing something wrong?

    I can tell you that with Sprint their coverage area isn't as good as Verizon or AT&T.
    Are you sending these imessage while on wifi or cellular data?  Also your husband would need to be in a good coverage area.
    Usually when imessage is unavailable it will send it as a text.  Does your husband receive your imessage as a text?

  • IPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.2 Battery Drains FAST!

    My iPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.2 the battery drains tremendously fast! This morning it was 100% charged then just by surfing facebook and flipboard with 3G, it became 7% in the noon. I hope Apple can solve this problem! I'm very upset right now

    I've pretty much proved to myself that this is a bug in 7.0.2.  Since my post a few days ago I have:
    Done a full restore of my iPhone with 7.0.2 - problem still persisted - draining battery at approx 23%/hour with no use, and with all the battery saving tips applied (no push notifications, no background updating etc).
    Restored iPhone with 7.0 - battery drain dropped to approx 5%/hour with no use and battery saving tips applied.  With push notifications & background updating turned back on, battery drain increased to approx 12%/hour which is high, but still significantly better than 7.0.2. 
    I would recomend everyone who is having this problem with 7.0.2 to lodge a bug report with Apple - www.apple.com/feedback - hopefully if enough of us lodge the bug report, Apple will listen and release an update.
    As for downgrading, unfortunately we cannot downgrade to 6.x anymore, but you can downgrade to 7.0.  It is a matter of downloading the appropriate firmware. Firmware's are available here - http://www.icj.me/ios - although that site lists 6.x, they will no longer work, so get the 7.0. That site redirects you to Apple's server for the appropriate ROM, so they are legitimate. Before you install it, you have to turn "Find My iPhone" off by going to Settings | Privacy | Location Services | Find iPhone.  The installation seems to turn it back on when done, but you should probably check.  Once the firmware has downloaded, you can install it on your device by going to iTunes, and holding down the option key while clicking Restore.  This is on Mac - on Windows I assume you would press Alt (but if that doesn't work, try Ctl or Shift).  If you have pressed the right button on your keyboard, a file browser window will appear, allowing you to choose the firmware that you just downloaded.
    Once installation is complete, iTunes will tell you that there is an update available for your iPhone, just click "Later" everytime the warning appears.

  • Voice quality problems on iPhone 5s with IOS 7.02 on Verizon.I

    I have a brand new iPhone 5s with IOS 7.02 on Verizon.  Everything works great except when on talk on the phone the normal way.  When I do that, people tell me they can hardly hear me.  But, when I put them on the speaker phone, they can hear me very well.  Also, Voice Memos, and SIri all work just fine.  It is only when I talk on the phone the normal way (without the speakerphone on) that the voice quality I am transmitting is very low.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  Thanks very much.

    Apple helped me solve this problem.  They gave me a brand new iPhone 5s.  The were just great in their support.  It appears that my first iPhone 5s had a faulty "audio chip."  This is the chip that changes the frequency of your voice as you talk into the microphone; Apple explained that it is one frequency when talking on the phone, and another where using the speakerphone, and another when using Siri, and another when using voice memos, etc. You use the same 2 microphones for all of these applications (one at the bottom of the phone, and one my the camera lens), but the "audio chip" adjusts the freqency based on the applicaiton you are using.  So, on my first iPhone 5s, my "audio chip" was defective, so they gave me a new iPhone 5s, and it has been working just fine.  I had the most current IOS operating system on the original iPhone 5s with the faulty "audio chip," and on my new iPhone 5s which works great.  Hope this helps.  The technicians at Apple Customer Care and at the Apple Store are very aware of this problem with potentially defective "audio chips" in some of the iPhone 5s's.  Cheers, Clarence from Cleveland.

  • How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock?

    How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock? I can't find the previous owner and I really want to use my new iPhone, I did purchase it Second-Handed.and now I'm stuck. Ive tried recovery mode and nothing still restores and asks me the same thing. Been working on this forever- Please Help!

    If you want to risk your money, fine. 
    To answer your questions
    Is this just an iOS 7 feature?
    Yes, Activation Lock is an iOS 7 feature.
      Could you not restore the device to an earlier version?
    No, you cannot downgrade your iOS device.
    That may mean jailbreaking, I'm not sure.
    Jailbreaking is not supported by Apple or this forum.
    Or what about replacing the motherboard?
    There are no user serviceable parts on an iPhone.

    My iPhone 4 with iOS 6 is making me start to hate Apple. Any App and at any time I open and I can not view it or move for more than 2 minutes, they close themselves. During connections, it also gives this problem and the signal disappears after a few seconds back but often the person on the other end has hung up ... I can not stand it anymore, someone suggests something?
    Besides these problems, there is the battery, which was bad got worse, she is not lasting more than 10 hours, even without using the phone.
    Sometimes it even seems that the problem was solved, but my joy did not last long after I celebrate all the problems return, is incredible ...
    thanks.
    Sorry my bad Inglês.

    Try a reset hold home/sleep buttons until Apple logo appears
    If that does not improve try a restore

  • How do I open additional tabs in Firefox Home? I can see the tabs screen but it's blank and I can't find a way of opening a page in a new tab. Using an iphone 4 with ios 4.3.1.

    How can I open more than one tab in Firefox Home on an iphone 4 with ios 4.3.1? I can access the tabs page but all the entries are blank and I can't find a way to open a new page in a new tab.

    That doesn't fix the problem which seems to be more of a bug, but that's a great solution. In fact I think I like that more than right clicking. Thanks.

  • My iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1 become very hot when charged almost reach 100% and will shut down itself.

    My iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1 become very hot when charged almost reach 100 % and will shut down itself. Then I need to off the power and let it cool down first before I can on the phone back. Please help me to solve this problem. Thanks.

    Hi Limfromsi,
    It is normal to an extent for the iPhone to get warm during charging. If your iPhone is currently in a case, you may want to try charging it without one and see if the issue occurs, as the design of the iPhone uses the exterior of the device as a cooling surface. For more information about iPhones and temperature, you may find the following article helpful:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2101
    If you continue to have issues with your iPhone in the default config (no case, using the included original cable and power adapter), you may want to have your phone evaluated for service. The following page may be of use:

    Hello everybody

  • I can't create any new reminders on my iPhone 5S with iOS 8.

    Hi.
    I have a 16 GB iPhone 5S with iOS 8.1.3. The problem I have is that I can't create any new reminders, at all. The problem started with my iPhone 4 (which I had before this phone), and I was using iOS 7 when the problem arose (but it didn't start immediately after I switched to iOS 7).
    One day when I had the iPhone 4, I noticed that all my reminders had disappeared, and that I couldn't create any mew ones because the New List + button is grayed out. I didn't try to fix it until I got my 5S. I got to the "Scheduled" list and was able to type in a reminder (I thought I was a genius). But then when the time I'd set for the reminder actually came around, nothing happened, and when I checked Reminders, the reminder I'd entered was gone.
    I tried using Siri to set a reminder but she said she couldn't.
    I've tried Googling it, but it just says to press the + button to make a new list, and then start typing.
    I recently got a MacBook Air which I synced up to my phone, and all my old reminders from my iPhone 4 are there, and I can create new reminders. Except they don't show up on my phone (which I think they're supposed to do, right?). They do show up on my computer, though.
    I've taken to emailing myself things I need to remember, which is fine, I guess, but sometimes they get buried in my inbox.
    Any help would be fantastic!
    Also, if you'd like me to clarify anything, I'm happy to do so because I don't know how much sense this makes.
    Thanks so much!

    I have exactly the same problem. I discovered it yesterday.
    I have a 16 GB iPhone 4 with iOS 7.1.2, just to note that we both are using different devices and different iOS versions. I will add here some screenshots of the problem.
