My iPhone5 lock screen stops working sometimes

My iPhone5 lock screen stops working sometimes.I have to restart the phone every time I encounter this problem. Sometime even when phone is locked and there's incoming call I couldn't answer simply because the touch stops working. This frequency of occurrence is increasing now.
Is this some kind of software issue because I noticed this after updating to 7.0.2 iOS ?

Because something is wrong with your iphone.
Try the basics from the manual: restart, reset, restore.
If these fail, it is likely a hardware issue.  Make an appointment at the genius bar.

  • Touch Screen Stops Working Sometimes on TouchSmart tm2

    I have a TouchSmart tm2-2052nr running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The last couple of days, my touch screen (and the pen) stop working. Restarting the computer usually fixes the problem, but not always. After switching the view or closing the laptop is when the problem occurs the most.
    I have tried various things to try and fix this on my own, but I am stumped now. This includes doing a system restore to before when I started to notice the problem, running virus scans, and reinstalling the Wamcom Digitizer Pen driver (sp48676).
    I have recently replaced my hard drive and therefore have done a complete system recovery. I have removed several programs and installed others, but nothing that had been different from before my hard drive crashed. Most recently since the crash I had installed Microsoft Office Pro, Adobe CS3, and Adobe Digital Editions. I uninstalled Skype, HP User Guides 0173, and HP QuickWeb Installer. A lot of the TouchSmart apps have also been removed except for the DVD one and Paint It!
    My restore points also list "HP Configured" around the time I uninstalled the TouchSmart apps, but I don't know what this all entails.
    I should also note that when the TouchScreen stops working, a lot of the drivers under "Human Interface Devices" in the Device Manager go missing.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    I actually did read that and step through it. It did not help.
    However, I think I may have found the solution. Because this is a problem of inconsistency, I cannot say 100% that the following solution works, but so far I have not had any problems.
    1. Make sure the touchscreen is working. If not, shut down the computer and start it again until the touchscreen works.
    2. Go to the device manager. Look under "Human Interface Devices" for some sort of USB drivers. There should be two (2). These are the problem children. (If the touchscreen is not working, these two drivers will not even show up, hence the reason for restarting the computer in step one)
    3. Right-click on one and select "Update Driver Software". Let it run its course and select "Okay" when it is done. You will notice that the name of the driver changes.
    4. Repeat for the other "USB" driver.
    After the driver software is updated, the names should be "Wacom Gesture Touch" and "Wacom Pen".
    Like I said, I am not positive yet that this is the fix, but so far so good. After a few days, I will let everyone know either way.

  • Why has my music controls in the locked screen stopped working after upgrading to ios. 7.0.2?

    I cannot pause, advance track, etc with the in-control feature on ios 7. When my phone is locked and the music is playing, (ie. iTunes, podcasts or any other audio enabled app) the play controls do not work even when I access the in-control feature.  I remember this working after I updated. Now it's not. Anyone else had this issues or know a fix?

    I have the same issue. with iphone5 with iOS 7.0.2

    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • Why did my brand new Ipod 5g 32gb touch screen stop working?

    So I got this ipod from the Genius Shop for about a month. A few days ago when IOS 7.1 came out, I updated it. However, the ipod seems to lag a little. Today, I was charging my ipod and for some reason, when I turn it on, the touch screen stop working (the ipod is in perfect condition). The home button, volume button and the on/off button all works fine except for the touch screen. I want to restore everything on my computer, but I can't get pass the lock screen (the touch screen seems to stop working). I just can't do anything on this ipod anymore beside turning it on and off. I can't even power it off because the touch screen is no longer touchable. So how can I restore everything, or do something about this ipod to work again. Can I still take this back to the Genius Shop and get another one without additonal charge?  

    If the reset does not work try the remaining items of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT201412 Iphone 4S screen stops working from time to time

    Iphone 4S screen stops working from time to time.
    sometimes for a few seconds, or sometimes many hours.
    I've resetted it when this happens, with no luck.
    I've restored it from back up, and the problem still persists.
    What can i do?

    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.

  • Touch Screen stops working while charging

    Hi All,
    I have just purcahsed a Torch 9810 and have uploaded it with latest OS 7.1. I am facing problems like :
    1. The touch screen stops working while the phone is getting charged.
    2. The screen gets hanged very frequently. Should we use it very calmly or is it hanging because we use it too fast. For this condition,solution i am left with is a HARD RESET. But till when this will help. Please suggest some work around.
    3. When i select Loud profile,for sometime it works and after that it stops working. I try to ring it manually by going to LOUD profile sound settings and pressing the TRY IT option. I do use a cover. Does it makes any difference ? The problem goes when i do a HARD RESET. But why is this happening ? Any Other setting neds to be done ?
    Please HELP or Suggest what to do !!!!!
    Regards,
    Ronak Gupta

    This is probaly a software problem in my opinion this could probably be resolved at the genius bar in any apple store also your phone should be under warranty as it is a iphone 5 and they did not come out not so long ago so in other words go to a apple store and they might have to replace the phone. In my experience this has nothing to do with the cable but a software issue in ios did this issue happen in any earlier version of ios

    Siri says she can't read my email from the iphone5s lock screen when I'm using the standard headphones, but I could do that on 4s. How can I get my 5s to do that?

    Hi Liz,
    Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem.  Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File",  then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups  opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine.  I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked  "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1).  I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do. 
    The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu,  when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.  
    I am now a happy camper. 
    I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto,  that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"? 
    Good luck Liz,  if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.

  • My touch screen stopped working...on my brand new replacement iPod touch.

    I recieved my replacement while on vacation in Vegas, about five days ago. My new iPod has been kept nice and safe in it's case without any bumps that could damage it.

It's brand new, so whats wrong and how can I fix it PLEASE!

  • Why did my touch screen stop working?

    Very upset my touch screen stopped working on phone new years eve.  What could be wrong??

        flakris,
    Oh no! This is not what we like to hear. I want to make sure that we are able to get your phone back up and running. Is there any kind of physical or liquid damage to the device? Can you try to press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons until the device powers off then release (approximately 10 seconds). Please keep us posted.

  • Yoga 13 touch screen stopped working after update KB3000850, please help!

    Hi, my Yoga 13 touch screen has been working fine until yesterday. The laptop came with Windows 8, and last year I upgraded to Windows 8.1 without issue. Yesterday, I installed optional update KB3000850 from Windows Update, and immediately the touch screen stopped working. I have tried the following methods, all without success:
    * Uninstall KB3000850 from Windows Update
    * Use Windows Restore to restore to the point before yesterday
    * Re-install Intel Chipset Driver from Lenovo official driver page
    * In Device Manager, uncheck all the "allow system to turn off to save power" options for the USB input devices under Human Interface Devices then restart
    * Two-button shutdown and restart
    * Install Lenovo Driver Manager and let it check for new drivers
    * Download Cando multi touch panel driver (Note: I could not install the driver because all I got was a .cab file which does not allow me to install)
    As of now my touch screen is still not working. Computer Information page from Settings shows that there is no touch or pen device for my screen.
    Can anybody help me with this? Thanks!

    Very true, this has been a known problem since the first day Lenovo released the Yoga 13.
    I need to send Lenovo a bill for my time spent rebooting.  So far i am on my 8th reboot.  In the past, around 5 reboots after winddows update would work.  This time... who knows.
    Of course it always happens when you have a deadline.
    Please post back if you have found a better soultion than system restore.
    Thanks for posting this issue.  More users need to bring this to Lenovo's attention.

  • My iPod touch screen stopped working, how do i fix it?

    My iPod(4th generation) touch screen stopped working. Okay so it was fine earlier, my home button does not work so i have been using the assistive button for months, and until earlier today it got stuck, i tried to power it off but it doesn't let me slide to power it off, and it doesn't let me press anything on the assistive menu either, and i'm currently waiting for my ipod to die but it's taking forever since it's battery lasts forever! is there any other solutions you can give me?
    and i was wondering if my ipod has life insurance with apple so if something is wrong with the screen, can i take it for a new one? (my ipod is in very good conditions, not cracked or scratched, just the home button is an issue)
    thanks!

    Try restoring via iTunes. If necessary. try placing the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and then restore:

  • Ipod nano 6th gen touch screen stopped working please help

    Everything on the ipod nano 6th gen is working except the touch screen and once it goes to sleep i have to hold the sleep button and the volume down button to turn it back on. I went into the volume -, sleep, volume + menu and went through the tests and in the touch panel error check section it says i have IC error reported: 0xFFFFFFFF. Please help as i have reset and restored and update itunes etc. Do i need to send it in to apple? The touch screen was working at one stage and then i disconected from the computer while it said eject first (this is when the touch screen stopped working) and put the ipod on a different computer. The first computer was windows 7 which i used just to charge it a little and the second one im using is windows vista.

    I have had the same problem and changed three Nano's. Each time the fault is diagnosed by Apple as "water damage".
    If you take your Nano to one of their maintenance centres they will look into either the headphone socket or the power dock and and tell you that you have infringed the warranty by somehow getting the thing wet.
    Basically is a poorly designed piece of kit whereas a simple shuffle is way more robust.
    I have given up with my Nano and am now using an old model

    Hello Kimbo1991,
    It sounds like your phone is not successfully booting even though you have reset the device. I would next recommend attempting a backup and restore to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    If you are unable to restore with iTunes I would next put the device into recovery mode, and attempt the restore again:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
