My iPhone 6 operates itself!

It randomly and rapidly (seconds between changes) goes to different apps....starts to call people on my email list....opens and plays iTunes songs....even types gibberish on emails and texts . . .
This only happens when I'm in an area where there is very sketchy cell phone service (1 or 2 bars) . . . This is very irritating....making the phone unusable . . .
It is a new phone, not jail broken . . . and it does this with or without being in it's case and without my being even close to the phone . . . resetting the phone does not help . . .
Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanx,
Stephen

Hello you are not the only 1 suffering from this problem. Many iPhone 6 users are going through the same thing. From the research that I have done it seems to be a problem with the NAND Flash that Apple has used in its 64gb and 128gb iPhone 6 models. They used a new TLC NAND Flash compared to the old MLC NAND Flash. The TLC is NAND Flash has more storage capacity but writes data slower and is more cost affective while the MLC NAND Flash stores less data but writes faster. Now from what I have read there is a problem with the new TLC NAND flash making ur phone go to the home screen and boot with the apple logo. Many had assumed that maybe Apple was going to offer in house repairs to change out the flash or fix the problem through an IOS update. None have happened so far. You can try to restore your phone or try taking your phone back to the apple store and see what they can do for you. Good Luck with everything

Multiscreen Preview for iPhone Retina Does Not Match iPhone Retina Itself

I am testing a web site built for responsive design. I have posted the site to a test server. When I view the test version of the site on my iPhone 4S with Retina display I get an entirely different layout from Dreamweaver's Multiscreen preview. Multiscreen shows the website for a full size screen. I understand that the iPhone with Retina display has a high resolution, but I wrote a media query to take care of that very issue. The more perplexing question is why would the test site display an entirely different layout on the iPhone Retina itself from the way the Dreamweaver file looks in Multiscreen's iPhone Retina preview? The same files Dreamweaver is using for the Multiscreen preview are the ones the iPhone is pulling from the test server.

Thanks for your reply! I did set the resolution value, but, instead of the 'or' clause, I used two different links for the retina vs. mobile style sheets. That worked perfectly on several (actual, not simulated) devices on a site I had done for a previous client. However, I will try it using the 'or' clause. In fact, I copied the media queries for this new site from that earlier site. Multiscreen preview did not accurately reflect the iPhone Retina option from the drop-down menu for either site.
Multiscreen for Smart Phone works most of the time, and I find that to be very helpful. However, if DW's multi-screen does not simulate the retina display, I wonder why Adobe included "iPhone Retina" in the Multiscreen drop-down menu at all. (I don't mean to criticize Adobe for it, but it does seem an odd choice to include a feature in a menu when the feature doesn't really work.)
Anyway, thanks very much for your helpful reply.

Why does the iphone allow itself to be powered off while the screen is locked?

Why does the iphone allow itself to be powered off whlie in the lock screen? This makes it impossible to track if stolen does it not? Seems like an assinine concept!

It does, but there's little we regular mortals can do about it. However, you now have something to contribute to Apple via the Feedback Link!

My iPhone reset itself and is now asking me to reconfigure it. I connected it to my computer to do it on iTunes, but it says that it can't... It went back to the configure screen as it was when I first got it but I've had this phone for about half a year. It was fully functional until about yesterday. Someone help.

Hello Helpstar,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
Depending on the message you got in iTunes I would recommend the troubleshooting in this article named:

IPhone resets itself when not in use

I have an original iPhone which has been updated to 3.0. Since the update I've noticed that the phone will spontaneously restart itself when not in use. When this happens I'll notice the screen light up with the silver Apple logo and then go blank. This will happen repeatedly. While this is going on I can't use the phone until I plug it into the computer. Once iTunes does it's thing the phone will return to normal for a while - sometimes a day or two - before repeating this behavior. I have reset and restored the phone but without solving the problem. Apart from this everything seems to be working properly.
Any ideas?

Have you tried restoring and setting up as a new phone (i.e., not restoring from a backup)? Sometimes those backups bring along whatever is messing up your phone.

How do i stop my iphone turning itself off?

I have just bought an iphone 4, which i think is brilliant and really usefull..........but, it just keeps switching itself off at random times? I have restored it 3 times, but no joy .....can anyone help? or is it just a case of getting it exchanged?

Is it actually powering down, or just having a nap because you are not using it? How do you have to fire it up again? Holding down the button on the top (it's been switched off) or tapping the Home button at the centre bottom (it's been asleep)?

Help! iPhone reset itself

My iPhone was running low on battery about 14% so I plug it in and it shuts off, and resets itself. Why would my phone do this and what should I do about it? I lost all my information on my phone.

My iPhone turned itself off and won't come on or charge, after I already restarted it once

My iPhone 5s has turned itself off and won't come on or charge again I have already restarted it by holding the on/off switch and home button and it come back on and was working fine, but after an couple of hours it's turned itself back off again!! And won't let me restart it again. I don't know what's caused it as it was working fine yesterday and I hadn't dropped it or gotten it wet, what else can I do??

A phone that is turned off wont receive calls. You could try to do a couple things: plug it in (even though it is fully charged), press and hold the power button down extra hard. Press and hold the power AND home buttons extra hard. Take it to the apple store.

Iphone locked itself? I did not create any password!!

When I was in China Iphone locked keypad itself? I did not create any password before!!

You should have set up a password. It is important to have one in order to prevent other users from installing applications and to make your Mac safer.
If you have set up your Apple ID, you can try resetting your user password with your Apple ID > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
If it does not work, reset your user password through Recovery > http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4101 Then, set up a different Keychain password > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1631

Iphone restored itself to factory setting while plugged in wall for charging..crash or power surge?

i plugged my iphone in the wall at night to charge. when i woke up it was restored to its factory settings. did a power surge or an iphone crash cause this.
i have a passcode on my phone that no one knows so there is no way someone in my apartment plugged it into a pc and restored it that way... anyone know how it could restore itself to factory settings??

Howdy,
It sounds like your iPhone needs to be replaced.
You can try the suggestions in the Apple article -> http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
WTH.

Is something wrong with the Find My iPhone app itself???

Find my iPhone used to locate my iPhone 4s and my new iPad with no issues. Now it can still locate my iPhone, could not locate my iPad and now not even showing as a device and says can't locate my iMac. All in the same house! All devices are setup correctly. Tech support is having me re-download the latest OS, but I am not betting it is going to work.
Beginning to wonder if something is wrong with the app itself and nothing being said to customers. Tech support guy did say icloud has been undergoing maintenance all week and was down for 4 hours this morning. Hmmmm.........
I could see if it was the device it my problem was confined to one device. Just setup my iMac and can't locate it.

Would consider it except everything was fine a few weeks ago. Have made no hardware changes. Tech thinks problem is due to major maintenance going on right now with iCloud, and the fact that it is affecting two separate devices.

IPhone switched itself off

Hi, today I was just using my iPhone, it's a 3GS, and suddenly the screen went slightly blurry and fuzzy and then it turned off. I tried turning it back on, and nothing happened, but after a few minutes it turned itself back on anyway. This has only happened once, but I'm a little worried about it, I don't want it happening again. Is this a sign my iPhone is breaking? Is there anything I can do to stop it happening again?

It's an imperfect computer and things happen. It sounds like it reset itself which could be due to a malfunctioning app. If it happens again using the same app, delete the app or just live with it.
FYI a Reset is a good thing to do once/week or whenever you iPhone is not acting properly... press the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

IPhone Turning Itself Off - Failing to Wake Up

My iPhone 3G has been turning itself off/failing to wake up for a couple of months now. I've tried restoring it and deleting iTunes and then reinstalling. Apple support tried and couldn't fix and said it was an iTunes issue. Their suggestions didn't fix anything and I'm getting really frustrated. I have found several forums on other sites in which lots of people are having this same issue. iPhone is not jailbroken, hasn't been abused, etc. I've turned off push notifications b/c one forum said this would decrease the problem. My phone turns itself off randomly when in sleep mode for no apparent reason. I can do a hard reset and it will come back on after several seconds, but phone calls and texts have been missed. Sometimes they don't show up for several more minutes after the phone is turned back on. This didn't start until around when I updated my software a couple of months ago. Maybe OS3.1? Help, help, help!!!
