Original iPhone - Keyboard Issues

Hi, I have an original iPhone running the 2.0 firmware. It has been running fine for the most part since I upgraded, but this morning I noticed that the bottom row of keys on the keyboard has stopped working. All of the other keys are still working fine, but from the Caps-Lock key to the backspace button, nothing works. I'm on a trip right now without my home computer that I sync with so this is really frustrating.
Has anyone else had a problem with this? If so, do you know of a quick fix other than restoring the software?
Thanks for any help.

Wow! I am so glad I found this posting. I have been having trouble with a dead area of my screen for about two to three weeks now and it has been driving me nuts. I went to the genius bar where they told me my warranty was out of date. They did a reset and my guy went off for lunch while I was waiting!!!! One of the people on the floor gave me my phone back and said it should be OK. Went home, installed it as a new phone and same problem. It has been getting much worse. Delete keys in email and voicemail inoperative, keyboard totally out of control inserting two letters and random capital letters. Apps 'Muddled' I have to keep changing from landscape to portrait mode in order for buttons to be active. Extreme frustration. I had grudgingly made another appointment to go to the genius bar tonight and now thanks to this post I am going with the knowledge that it isn't 'just me.' Thank you again. pps My daughter is going today because her 3G is switching off randomly and I also found a thread regarding that. Double thank you.

Iphone keyboard issues lag when typing

Issue with typing on keyboard on the iphone 5 with ISO 7 installed

Thank you so much, I was having this problem with a replacement Iphone 5 that was purchased from Apple today with iOS7 installed. I had no idea why this was happening as it didn't happen to my original iphone 5 when I installed iOS7.
Turning off documents and data in iCloud solved it straightaway. Really pleased, you saved me another trip to the genius bar!!

Original iPhone keyboard slow to respond

Ever since I did the most recent update to my original iphone, the keyboard is super slow to respond. This happens when I'm texting or emailing. There's quite a delay between the time I type my letters and the screen responds and the letters appear. Any thoughts?

it may sound a waste of time, but try waiting a few days and see if it gets better. I know it sounds stupid, but I did it after the 2.0 update, and waited a couple days and it improved. Let me know if it worked!

IPhone keyboard issues.

Been having iPhone 4S keyboard issues for about 3 months now.
In portrait mode- the P and 0 keys don't work (i.e. the key in the upper right corner) and in landscape the spacebar doesn't work
Sometimes keys will repeat themselves, and when you press the enter key occasionally it will just keep moving down.
Does anyone know what causes this?

You will have to relock the phone and see if that corrects the issue.
Once the phone is relocked, you will need to send it to Apple US and provide a US mail address to receive a replacement if they decide to replace it since you voided the warranty by hacking it.

IPhone keyboard issue = loosing my data since unable to unlock it!

Request to the Forum
Is there other ppl with the issue expalined below?
Note: I've already raised it as a feedback to Apple
Background
4 weeks old iphone 5S, no dammage
iOS7.
Showing vertical flashing lines, screen unusable
Happened when I was browsing it (Facebook)!
Request to the Apple Store support
Have the phone replaced
Keep my data (no backup yet made on it)
Issue
Not able to backup the data since not able to type my password!
Answer from Apple Store
We have to change it as we can't fix the screen
Your data will be wipped out --> Would you tell a user that he will loose his PC data since his keyboard doesn't work?!
Requests to Apple
Find a fix for this screen blinking issue as it is clearly a bug!
Apple stores to have a way to bypass the lock screen - No data privacy involved here! I own the phone and I know the password, just can't type in!

Again, I think you are mistaking 2 things:
1- Backup issue = hard drive related.
2- Lock screen issue = screen / OS related.
So yes, of course if I had backed up everything since day 1, and every single minute that won't be an issue...
HOWEVER, the issue here is that issue 1 and issue 2 are interconnected, where they SHOULDN'T!
Again, if I had broken my iPhone HD, that would be my fault, fine.
But here I am being told that my HD will be erased because having 2-, I cannot access 1...
It's liek having bought a car with electornic keys that after 4 weeks don't work and you're being told that to get back your wallet that is inside... well it's not possible because they have to destroy the car !
So now put it in any way you want, my self being in the IT area for some time, I can ensure you there's an issue with the design of this stuff.
Any case, I don't get the goal of your answer. The thread is to make things improve and the only thing you say is it's your fault without thinking much... nothing else to do in your spear time? ;-)

Entire iPhone keyboard issues.

Many people seem to be having issues with their home buttons or specific parts of their keyboards. For myself, my entire iPhone 4 keyboard stops registering from time to time. The keyboard works for safari and any downloaded apps, but when I type in system apps like mail and phone contacts, the keys show that they are being pressed but letters wont appear. I have tried soft and hard resetting it when this issue arises and nothing seems to help. After awhile the keyboard starts working for these apps again.
What steps should I take to get my iPhone back to normal?
Thanks, Spencer.

What steps should I take to get my iPhone back to normal?
Standard iPhone troubleshooting steps, in the order specified:
1. Power the phone off, then back on.
2. Reset.
3. Restore from backup.
4. Restore as a new device.
If no change after doing the above, make an appointment at an Apple store. Backup your phone before you go in case the geniuses replace it.

Original iPhone Lock Issues

After buying an iPhone from a friend of mine, it worked fine until I foolishly dropped it into a toilet. For a while, the lock button would go nuts and the phone would randomly lock at the most inopportune times. That stopped after a while, and the phone would turn off if left locked for more than a moment.
After a while, my phone decided to work again. It worked perfectly, as if nothing had happened.
Then OS 3.1, and a problem returned: my phone would turn off if locked.
I don't know what to do. I took it to an Apple store and they told me that since it had incurred water damage they couldn't do a thing but offer me a new phone.
What's weird is that it will stay on while locked if there is music playing or if it is charging, whether through the wall charger or through the computer. What I have resorted to doing is keeping my headphones in my phone and playing music but turning the volume all the way down.
Is there anything I can do to repair my phone?

Keyboard issues on iphone 4

When I am typing an iphone 4 the screen closes. It happens in the text screen or any time I am using the keyboard. Has anyone else experienced these issues? Can anyone help?

Reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons, until you see the apple logo on the display.
If that does not help follow this instruction to setup the iPhone without your userdata:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
Then sync your data step by step and confirm when ( if at all) the issue returns, to isolate the origin of the issue.

Has anyone else had the issue of losing the YouTube apps on the original IPhone after updating to 4.3.5

Has anyone else had the issue of losing theYouTube app on the original IPhone after updating to 4.3.5? (The Restrictions is turned as OFF)
The Youtube app is now cleaned away from the IOS 4.3.5
Any help would be appreciated.

This still doesn't make sense. The iPhone 4 may have come with a number of different versions of iOS out of the box depending on when it was purchased and how long it had sat on the shelf.
If you can't find it, check restrictions and make sure you haven't locked it out.

Original iPhone Screen Color Issue?

Hello, so basically my original iPhone is having some screen problems. Whats happening is that the screen colors of the iPhone are somewhat inverted. I don't know how to fix this cause I'm not sure whether or not it's a hardware problem. A helpful note: when I restart it, it shows the apple screen but the backdrop is white and the apple is dark. Other than that it works fine.

and if theres any information ive missed that you would like to know, feel free to ask

2.0 & iTunes 7.1 Screwed Original iPhone Big Time!

It seems a lot of people are having issues with 2.0 and 7.1 iTunes but wondering if anyone is seeing these issues. I've add my original iPhone since Day 1 release (yes, 4 hours in line) and have been preaching the praises of Apple and this phone for the past year, I cannot be without it. Now with 2.0 and 7.1, I AM ******!
Nothing has worked correctly since this download. My touchscreen is f'd. I cannot forward email, the button simply does not work when pressed. The 'Save Picture' also does not work when pressed. I managed to become a master at typing on the touchscreen keyboard and now when I touch the letters they are highlighted as the correct letters, but a completely different letter shows up on the screen and AutoCorrect doesn't even recognize it. My caps lock will come on on its own and the delete button gets stuck on and deletes multiple lines of tex. Everything with this recent download has brought my phone to a crawl in addition to constant lock ups and reboots.
There are many others, but the biggest is the touchscreen issue. Are there others out there having the same issue? If there is a fix, please let me know, otherwise, Apple, how the **** did you miss such a simple software test?
Also, I want to move to 3G, anyone having these screen issues with 3G?

Short, I guess we were posting the same issue at the same time--or else I would've just replied to your thread w/o beginning my own. Agreed. Same issues as you (and more) since 2.0 and iTunes updates.
I really hope there is a fix because this stinks.

Can anyone help me out here?
HOW DO I GO BACK IF I RESTORE FROM OLD IPHONE?

Can you attach a screenshot and maybe post a link?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
*<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+fonts+and+colors
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.

IPhone keyboard in Landscape Mode

Hey,
Is any one else having the same issue ? Any solution is appreciated. When I use my iPhone keyboard in landscape mode (application - gmail) some of the letters in the keyboard don't pop-up. The keyboard inputs the letters in the mail however the on-screen prompt for a key being pressed (letters jumping up) does not happen. It happens for different letters each time. I have seen 'q' key do that .... r some times etc. It is not just the first row of letters too. I have seen other letters.
I reset the phone, restored it and even got a warranty exchange. I still have this issue. Any ideas ?
Peace...

Original iPhone will no longer connect to wifi

I have an original iPhone updated to 3.1.2 recently. Since then I have had problems with it connecting to my wifi networks both at work and at home with no other network problems to speak of. It was connecting on and off until finally, it will not connect at all. I have tried to manually connect to my networks and it prompts that it cannot scan for wireless networks. Please help apple!

First try this:
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
Re-enter your wifi info, see if things work now. If not, proceed:
Standard troubleshooting steps in the following order:
1. Reset: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the apple logo, then release(ignore the slide to power off). If no change, proceed:
2. Restore your phone in itunes from your most recent backup. While this will restore a fresh OS, it will also restore the problem/problems if part of your backup. If no change, proceed:
3. Restore your phone as a "new" device in itunes & re-sync your itunes content. You will lose all saved data doing this.
If no change after doing the above, you most likely have a hardware issue.

Original iphone works but can no longer be activated for phone use????

I have one of the original iphones that works but I no longer use (as in I paid $700 for it when it first came out). I just gave it to my nephew and my brother tells me Apple and ATT don't support it and he's being told that it can't be set-up as a functioning phone? That the current version of itunes won't support it either? Does this make sense to anyone? Could this be true? I'm on my 3rd iphone version and the first 2 work I just upgraded so now the old phones can't be used? I gave the same nephew a much older flip phone that still works and it has phone service.... Thoughts?

This doesn't make any sense to me either. Are we missing some vital information or is he just mistaken?
Until this last November, I was using a Blackberry Curve. I was visiting a friend and complained about the trackball giving me fits. He went to his kitchen junk drawer and pulled out his very first iPhone 2g and tossed it to me. I've been using it ever since without issue.
If the phone is in proper working order, it should only take a call to AT&T to order an appropriate plan and sim card. The original iPhone is still fully supported by AT&T and iTunes. While iOS support does end with version 3.1.3 and more and more apps do require iOS4, it still affords a very reasonable user experience. So reasonable, in fact, I am reconsidering my original plan of upgrading to the iPhone 4 this month. What can I say? It kicks BB Curve behind and does everything I need using a sweet grandfathered calling and data plan! laugh
