Mail touch screen not responding, on off button won't work

My iPhone 4 on/ off button won't work so I can't re-set my phone. Been told i need new one but trying to hold out for new iphobe! 
Now the touchscreen won't work only in mail, and the screen is darker in mail than everythinguch  else. Can anyone help?

My touch screen stopped working and could not power off.  Plugged it in to recharge and then it was okay.  Very weird.  The suggestion to restore from Itunes was very good and probably a basic apple practice.  I was ready to get a new phone and not an apple.  I will see how the iphone works the next few days.

  • Sony Xperia Z touch screen not responding

    My Sony Xperia Z has been giving me problems ever since I bought it in May 2013.By October 2013 I had to send this phone for repair twice.In the last 9 months though it was doing well and there no problem till today afternoon when I found out that the touch screen was not responding.The phone was on charge when this happened and there was a heavy downpour though not a single drop fell on the phone.I tried using the power button to switch it on and off but could not use the shut the phone option because the touch screen wont respond.I have rebooted the phone and switched it off using the power+volume up button multiple times since then.After about an hour when I was trying for the umpteenth time to key in my password I saw that some numbers were randomly getting punched in.After several attempts the phone's touch screen did respond and I was able to make a call but post that the touch screen went back to the not responding mode.Another hour later and exposing the phone to the sun beating down while i was in a car helped and this time I was able to see all my msgs and mails.My elation was shortlived as the phone went back to the touch screen not responding mode.I had a short trip to make by air and I switched off my phone and put it on charge using the USB connected to my laptop.When I switched on after landing I found that I was able to key in my password but after that the phone again got stuck.Since this last occurence about two hours ago the touchscreen has not responded.It is frustrating to see that msgs are coming,people are calling and I can see the numbers,mails are getting downloaded  but I cant do anything about it.Right now the phone is submerged in a jar of rice in the hope that the mositure might dry out and it will be back to normal again.Please suggest whether using the hair dryer would help or not.I must repeat the phone has not got wet.I also removed the screen guard on both the ends and the back cover to allow the phone to breath.Waiting anxiously for help

    Update for a phone that cost me 34k Sony asks 26k for repair
    Time to trash this useless,good for nothing phone..Sony please stick to making TVs and Cameras smartphone is beyond you.

  • Portion of the touch screen not responding

    Last night I dropped my iPod by accident a couple feet onto tile. The screen is fine physically, no scratches or cracks, and the screen is still normal when I use the iPod. However, a lower portion of the touchscreen doesn't respond. It shows up, but it just does nothing when I try to touch it. I can still unlock the iPod normally, but since the lower portion is gone, I can't hit certain tools on the bottom and I can't hit the bottom for commenting on Facebook and other apps like that or use the spacebar when in normal mode. I tried resetting it and turning it off and on again but it did nothing. When I go into landscape typing mode the part that didn't respond does respond, which I really don't understand.
    Got any ideas on what I should do or should I just send it in? I still have the one year warrenty.

    You can try the standard fixes to rule aout a sftware problem:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    Accidental damage like caused by dropping the iPod is not covered by the warranty.  Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity.
    A third-party place like the following mah be less expensive but you will lose the remainder of your warranty.

  • Anyone have issues with "touch screen" not responding?

    Does anyone find that the touch screen doesn't respond? I have huge issues with this style.
    Touching and swiping on a screen that is 1.5 inches isn't fun. I need shade to read the screen (bad for snow), I need to go thru so much just to get to a song, a podcast, whatever that was playing before I HAD to turn off nana. I need to turn off nano each time.
    1. Turn on by holding button like forever.
    2. swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe to get to songs or podcast. Select, select, touch selcet, not selecting, touch, touch touch.
    3. Select 'songs; selevet something else to get to a screen that says shuffle.
    4. Select, select, touch, touch, use index finger, thumb, touch, breath on finger, touch again.
    5. After one song plays after selecting "shuffle", it repeats, repeats,
    6. Take ipod out of pocket, stand in shade, hit the snooze whatever button, to activate screen, Is screen activitated? yes? But it blinked off to quick to make selectioon of touch proof screen.
    7. Walk inside to touch screen, to see screen. Hit button, wait for long time for this to start again (much like laptop starting).
    8. Swipe to get to menu with songs, swipe, swipe, swipe swipe.
    9. Select music: albums, artist songs. By selecting I mean touch touch touch, touch, use thumb, touch. for each selection
    10. Are you sure this is an Apple product?
    Can I return this POS and wait for someone to go back to what worked best??

    Oh, and yes I have restored to factory settings. Then resynch.
    I have done the soft reset or whatever it's called on this one.
    It is updated.

  • Touch Screen NOT responding. what to do?

    okay so here is my dilemma.. My iPhone's touch screen has stopped responding. I tried restarting it by holding down the power button, I tried resetting it holding down the power/home button. I let the battery die completely before charging it again. I lost the USB cable that came with the phone so I have been charging it through firewire, but because of the firewire connection, it will not show up in iTunes so I can't reset it... And obviously I can't reset it in the phone itself because the touch screen isn't working...
    Any ideas??????

    Holding the Home button and the Sleep/Wake or On/Off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release is called a Reset.
    Without a USB cable for your iPhone, you cannot not sync, install any iPhone updates when made available, or restore your iPhone with iTunes, which may resolve this problem.
    You need to get a USB cable that is compatible with your iPhone. Do you also have an iPod with dock connector? If so, the USB cable for your iPod can be used. If not, do you know anyone else who has an iPod or iPhone you can borrow their USB cable from until you can purchase another USB cable for your iPhone?
    If a Restore does not work, time to give AppleCare a call (800) 694-7466, or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby - where you can purchase another USB cable for your iPhone.

  • Right side of iPhone touch screen not responding

    PLEASE HELP!
    New to the forums.. and new to the problem my iPhone 3G is giving me. As of today, the right side of my touch screen isn't responding. The top right side responds sometimes but the bottom right doesn't.
    I've turned my phone on and off, but it hasn't helped. I don't know what to do. I got my iPhone in August 2008. Please - can anyone help?

    You could reset by holding home and the power button until you see the apple logo, do not let go of either until you see the apple logo. This is basically a restart. Or you could restore through itunes. I doubt either will work, but they are worth a try. By going to an apple store or authorized seller they can determine if the phone needs replaced because of a hardware issue.

  • Z10 Touch screen not responding

     I cannot access my phone.  I can turn it on and off using the on/off button at the top.  I've tried this several times, I have also removed the battery a few times.  It will start and it appears that it is working, I can see that everything has loaded, I can hear emails, messages and notfications coming in but cannot access anything.  The phone is not responding to touch at all!

    Hi @Elcee! Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
    Do you hear a voice prompt or anything when you touch the screen?
    Could it be the Screen Reader mode?
    Edit: As I see in your post here, it's not Screenreader mode.
    Have you tried reinstalling the OS?

  • Help...lower half of touch screen not responding on 3g! this is a reconditioned one sent to me from apple as my last one was sso this one i have had for about a month

    ...can you tell im new to this!!
    Well as i was saying...
    I have had this reconditioned 3gs for about a month and it has been working spot on until this evening, I received a text and went to slide the screen to answer and it is not responding.
    I have shut it down, the top half of screen slides!!
    I have restarted it, using top button and home button.
    I have updated and restored it.
    And I have cleaned it!!
    Now i am out of ideas....can anyone help or do i have to give up and send back to apple...again?
    If it is the latter, do you think it will cost me again or does a recon from them come with a warranty??
    thank you for reading
    nic x

    If it was a refurb replacing one that was under warranty, the warrany is good until the original warranty expires or 90 days from replacement, whichever is longer. In either event, it should still be covered if you've only had it for a month. (assuming you're in the US here). You can try to restore it as a NEW device rather than restoring from your backup, but this sounds like a hardware failure... I think. I'm not sure what you mean by "the top half of the screen slides". If you mean only the top half is touch sensitive, how can you determine that? You wouldn't be able to slide to unlock if that were the case...
    Sorry, I'm a little confused by that description.

  • Touch screen not responding after water damage

    Hello community.
    I do get the fact that there is million of threads, but I want to know the opinion of others on this particular case.
    I dropped my phone into the toilet (luckily, it was clear) and immediately got it out.
    As I had no experience with these kind of accidents, I actually didn't turn off the phone. I used a towel and then I wobbled my phone to get rid of the water. Then, as the phone started rebooting itself, I dried it with a hairdryer (yes, I'm an idiot) and used a vacuum cleaner to help the proccess.
    It kept saying this error [NAND] FileFlashAndMedia or something like that, so I turned it off for good and tried to restore it - I started getting the -1 error.
    After several repetitions, iTunes finally started restoring my iPhone 5 and everything was back to normal. But then I came to the dreadful realization that the screen does not respond. Everything is ok - all the buttons, the display, even the sound seeems to be fine.
    So after these 15 minutes of panicking I started to read articles and watch videos of other people. Put the phone in a bowl of rice, sealed it and I turn it on from times to times to find out if the screen started responding.
    Any suggestions? Do you think there is a possibility to recover it?
