My iPhone's touchscreen is no longer responding!

So here's my issue...
I answered a call, hung up and set the phone down. The next time I picked it up the touchscreen was no longer responding. I tried cleaning the screen, home button reset, hard reset, restored to factory settings and nothing is working. There's no damage to the phone and I haven't cracked it at all to add apps. Just your standard usage.
Ideas, anyone?.... Beuller?

I'm not buying that an extra $15/month = a page loading 10 seconds faster. I love Apple, but AT&T is not my favorite phone company in the world due to plans like these.
Lets look at it this way... sure all the blogs say that with the 2-yr contract you'll be paying more for the phone than if you were purchasing it at full price like the first model (I like to call it the OG-phone). But how many of us will be having our iPhone's for far longer than that? Most likely on AT&T as long as they have the exclusive rights to it. So after that 2 years, you're looking at an extra $15/month added to the price of that phone. That's not even if you take into account AT&T now saying if you don't "qualify" for a plan upgrade.... we're gonna charge you even more for that phone.
I'm just not a fan of phone companies in general. I don't care how much advertising I see saying how much better they are than everyone else.... I work with advertising agencies... kings of spin.

  • My iphone 4 is no longer responding to swipes

    My iphone 4 is no longer responding to swipes, but it also won't receive calls or receives pings from Icloud. However it is recognized and can be synced to Itunes. I just can't access my phone anyone have any idea what the problem is? I restored it with a fresh restore, can't get it to swipe. I call it, it is unreachable. I thought it was the digitizer, but i feel like the digitizer wouldn't disable it from receiving calls. Any help would be appreciated it, was trying to hold out on this phone before i got a new phone.

    This is NOT Apple ,Apple do not read nor do they  therefore respond
    So if you would like to wind your neck in ........................
    try a reset of iPhone and then a restore,best, as new and if it then functions correctly try restoring with your backup

    Hello,
    I had that problem as well and the apple support suggested to turn off the LTE-mode to have a running system and try to exchange the micro-sim by my provider.
    THAT was not an option!
    BUT it seems to solve my problem in the following way after trying a lot of possibilties:
    In the menue properties/help (don't know the exact english word, because I run my phone in german)
    I switched on the nice feature 'flash LED' by incomming calls, msgs, and push infos.
    Today the flash feature was responding to different push notes very slowly.
    By switching this feature off the LTE-mode-tochscreen-not-responding-problem disappeared.
    We tried this on a other iphone, not having the metioned problem, and switched the LED-flash:
    the problem appeared. Switching the LED-flash off: problem disappeared!
    It seems to be a bug that the LED will hint Calls and MSGs in combination with the LTE mode!
    treated my phone very hard today to double check, but its still ok.
    @Apple:
    Please fix that issue in the next update.
    Hope, this helps you guys as well.

  • Iphone touch face no longer responding

    So after my 15pound toddler had been laying on top of my iphone for 2 hours, my iphone touch screen no longer responds to anything. So I can't swipe to unlock my phone, can't answer any of my calls, can't text, etc. I don't want to buy a phone just yet since it seems like everything else works but the touch screen.
    Any suggestions?
    I've restored the phone already and still nothing.

    I have the same issue and I am afraid to pay for the repair. If this is a software issue I will be plenty relieved. But, unfortunately, all I have been reading is that it is a hardware issue that will cost at least $115 to replace the glass, digitizer, and lcd.

  • IPhone 4S touchscreen not responding

    Software up to date.
    I am finding that my touchscreen often is not responding, particularly on certain letters when texting such as "a" & "w"...but it will also not respond when I touch the text icon to begin texting. It's driving me nuts.
    Is there a known fix for something like this?

    Standard troubleshooting steps are as follows:
    Power your iPhone off and on.
    No change, try a reset which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release. A reset is similar to a computer restart and does not affect any data or settings.
    No change, restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup.
    No change, restore your iPhone as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
    If no change after the last step, more than likely your iPhone has a hardware problem. The iPhone includes a one year warranty.

  • About 7/16 of an inch of my screen for my Iphone 4 no longer responds ever since the new update

    Ever since the iOS 7 update about 7/16 of an inch on my screen no longer works meaning if i where typing in safari an hit the globe button that changes the keyboard to what ever you have on your list (for example Emoji) i would end up having to back out of certain apps or have to turn my phone sideways to type key board style in order to even change the keyboard back to english that as well as all my buttons with in the 7/16 range no longer respond so if i wanted to delete an app i would need to drag it into an app folder and then move away from the 7/16 zone in order to delete it i have never had this problem until the update and although minor it is annoying. If anyone has any ideas on what is causing this to happen or a solution other then upgrading due my 2yr contract with At&t is still on going until next year.

    I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos.  It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again.  Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
    In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen.  In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device).  Under Settings, click on Music.  To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box at the top for Sync Music.  That turns ON automatic syncing for music.  Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod).  Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below.  Then click Apply.

  • After trying to reset the backup on my iphone, it is no longer responding. it's stck on a blank loading screen and i cant do anything on it.

    After trying to reset the backup on my phone, it is no longer responding. ios7.1 was downloaded but all my info was deleated so i tried restoring it and while it was loading, the screen froze. it reaches a certain point, shuts down, and starts all over again. i cant turn it off or do anything with it. how can i atleast get it to function again or leave the loading screen?

    TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS ARE THESE:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears then let go.
    Backup, reset, restore on icloud or iTunes or restore as new.
    Place the phone into recovery mode by doing this
    If this fails to fix the problem make an appointment and visit and Apple store or an authorised service provider

  • Screen Sharing No Longer Responds from Master Machine

    For a long time, I have used screen sharing from my iMac to control my Mac Mini on the TV. Now, I can connect to screen sharing but the Mac Mini no longer responds to any commands from the iMac.
    Another factor that may have contributed to this:
    I use Hippo Remote to control the Mac Mini as my home theatre PC. This also has worked fine for a long time. Now, however, it can hardly get a connection anymore and when it does, I have no control over the Mac Mini any more. I've emailed their tech support but with little result.
    The only other thing I know of is that I'm running two video server clients on my iMac to provide remote access to video files via my iPhone or iPad. I don't think those should interfere with the Mac Mini though.
    Has anyone else run into this? Know of any solutions?
    I've tried reboots, turning off the Hippo Remote VNC server on the Mac Mini, and other servers but nothing is getting me what I used to have.

    Apple Tech guys and girls do not post in these User-to-User forums.
    On a Specific day there was a problem with the SNATMAP server and everyone had issues with iChat Video and Audio chats.
    The Original Poster did not seem to make it to the other threads at the same time.
    I informed him that there had been a issue and that it seemed sorted for most people and asked if he still had an issue.
    On the basis he said he was working - the problem and cause of that problem have been dealt with.
    At which point do you not get that, in this thread, the issue discussed is sorted for the original poster and that you should move on ?

    It also does not mean that the issue does not arise for you.
    What I am saying that in this context the solution will not suit your situation.
    An External event (SNATMAP Down) to all parties caused the problem he had and a second External event (SNATMAP up) solved it.
    AS SNATMAP has not fallen over recently you have another problem and it is not related to this one.
    I hope this is clear enough for you.

  • IPhone 5 touchscreen issue

    My iPhone 5 will not unlock normally. I have to press the top button numerous times for the touch screen to respond. This means that I am unable to answer phone calls unless my phone is already unlocked. I have tried restarting/restoring but nothing helps. What should I do? 

    If you restored the device as new, without adding additional content, and the touchscreen is still not responding, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple store to have the hardware checked.
    I just read this again. You say you have to press the sleep/wake button several times to get the screen to respond, but you can answer a call if the device is already unlocked? What happens if you tap the home button? Are you saying that tapping the sleep/wake button will not awaken the screen? If you tap the home button, does the screen awaken so you can slide to answer?

  • Was stuck on "Waiting For iPhone." Now it won't respond to the charge chord

    My phone has been giving me a lot of trouble today and I've been looking all over for tips and tricks, but so far, nothing has helped.
    It's an iPhone 4. One of my apps was being glitchy after a recent update, so I decided to delete it and reinstall it. When that didn't solve the issue, I decided to shut my phone off and turn it on again to see if it made a difference. Since then, it's been stuck in a loop. At first, it was stuck on the Apple logo. I managed to get it into recovery mode and connected it to iTunes, but only got as far as the "Waiting For iPhone" message.
    After several attempts to get it to recover, it no longer responds to the charge chord. Pressing and holding the top and home buttons only gives me the Connect To iTunes image and when I reconnect it to my computer, ... nothing.
    What should I do? Is my phone lost for good? If I take it to the Apple Store in another city, is there anything they can do, or am I out of luck because I'm out of warranty?

    The message that you're getting about the USB port is Windows rather than the Shuffle, ignore this as it will all work anyway.
    How were you formatting the iPod shuffle? Using Windows? If this is the case I'd assume that was probably a bad choice that Windows asked you to make.
    In any case I would download the latest iPod updater from http://www.apple.com/uk/ipod/download/ - open this and then plug your iPod into your computer - update the firmware and then everything hopefully should be sorted

    Hello Sp2sun,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Use this article to troubleshoot touchscreen issues
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response

    Tip: To isolate an issue related to a portion of the Multi-Touch display, follow these steps:
    Open the Maps application and double-tap each corner, then the center, to verify that it zooms in to each section.
    If a specific area is affected in another application, note the location and try to verify touch functionality for that location in the Maps application.
    On iPhone and iPod touch, you can also use Calculator:
    Open the calculator app to test all but the top row of the screen. Press each button on the calculator and verify activity.
    Have a nice day,

  • My iPhone 3Gs is now no longer a recognised device on iTunes after I downloaded the new iTunes with iCloud software, but it does recognise my iPad2??

    My iPhone 3Gs is now no longer a recognised device on iTunes after I downloaded the new iTunes with iCloud software, but it does recognise my iPad2??
    I run both Mac and a PC and have iTunes on both, which has previously recognised my iPhone. I had updated my Mac with the new iTunes software with iCloud and updated my iPad2 just yesterday. I then wanted to do the same with my iPhone today, but my Mac wouldn't recognise the device so I tried it on my PC, which recognised the phone but told me I needed to update my iTunes and this in turn wanted to update my iPhone software. After completing all this and restarting, my iPhone now shows the iTunes icon with the USB plug pointing towards it, obviously wanting me to plug it in to my computer to re-connect with iTunes, but now neither of my computers recognise my iPhone and my PC states an 'Unknown Device'. My Mac doesn't even see it. Can anyone help as I really need to get my phone working?? Thanks

    Hold down the Home and Power button for 20 seconds. And try to update again.
