Touch screen doesn't always work

When I am playing games it sometimes doesn't register my touches.  It is one week old.

Try this:
Quit all apps: Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up for each open app
then
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)

  • My palm m105's touch screen doesn't work properly after a sync.

    I dug out my old m105, put new batteries in and start it. On first launch it auto runs the alignment tool, and after touching all the points it goes to the main screen and works fine. No problem till here.
    Now, I plug it into my old computer which still has the palm software with my apps, and I run the sync operation (from the palm device sync manager, cause I lost my cradle and I'm connected via the serial cable), and it syncs fine BUT, here comes the problem, when it finishes the sync (successfully) the touch screen is all misaligned. I can't go back to the home screen or do anything useful.

    Let's help solve this mystery together! Is your screen freezing after every reboot? Is there any physical/liquid damage on the device? When did this issue begin? Did you notice this after a recent update or application download?

  • I cant open apps on my iPhone 4 the touch screen doesn't work.  I have restored my phone and still nothing works.

    I can't open apps on my iPhone.  The touch screen doesn't work.  I have restored it already but it still won't work.  What can I do.

    If the touch screen is not having any response then you probably have a hardware failure. Take your phone to an Apple Store or authorised service provider to have it checked.

  • The image came up on my screen saying that I need to connect my iPod to iTunes, but I have a passcode, so it won't allow me to. And I want to try and turn it off, but my touch screen doesn't seem to be working either. HELP!

    The image came up on my screen saying that I need to connect my iPod to iTunes, but I have a passcode, so it won't allow me to. And I want to try and turn it off, but my touch screen doesn't seem to be working either, so I can't even turn it off since you need to "slide to power off." HELP! I'm leaving on Thursday morning for six and a half weeks, and I absolutely need my iPod with me. I was just at the Apple store today for problems I was having with ANOTHER product, and I don't really want to drive all the way out to where my nearest store is (which is not very near) if I can figure this out at home. My iPod was working totally fine earlier today and last night, so I don't know what happened! Please, please, PLEASE HELP!

    Now it's allowing me to reboot (hold down power button and home button and restart), but every time it just comes up to the same thing: the connect to iTunes page. Which is not possible. And I refuse to restore my iPod. PLEASE HELP.

  • Touch screen doesn't work!!!

    I got my TP two weeks ago, played with it for a day and a half then, in the middle of surfing the web, the touch screen doesn't work. I've contacted HP support and sent my device in for repair. I got it back two days ago (12/30/2011), worked totally fine for 20 mins and the touch screen didn't work again. I've tried using WebOS Doctor 3.0, 3.0.2, 3.0.4 nothing works.
    I've tried rebooting it multiple times, still doesn't work. Frustrating I must say....
    Any suggestions?

    Gotcha, so I just want to make sure I'm following you correctly. At this point the screen is probably all black from the auto-turn-off thing. You hit the power button, and the little yellow lock icon appears on the bottom. But when you try to drag the little lock icon, nothing happens. Does that describe what's happening to you?

    Do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the device to boot back up.
    No data is loss doing a reset.

  • I have an iPod touch 2nd generation and my touch screen doesn't work, at all. What should I do?

    I have an iPod touch 2nd generation and my touch screen doesn't work, at all. What should I do?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: 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. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. I say not worth it for a 2G
    Apple - iPod Repair price                       
    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more. Again, likely not worth it for a 2G

    I cannot use my ipad2 because the touch screen doesn't work at all. First I cannot unlock it or do anything in the screen!!!! Why?

    Have you tried a reset To see if that fixes it ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My iphone 5 power button doesn't always work.  I have heard this is an issue and Apple will replace it if under warranty, but I have a broken screen.  Will they still replace it?

    It is unlikely but you can atleast try they might set it up for free but expect an email about paying 269 for physical damage

  • TS3992 How can I back up an iphone when I haven't set the phone up for back ups & the touch screen doesn't work? The phone can receive calls (not answer) & the pictures & messages can be seen but touch screen doesn't work to unlock the phone or select any

    How can I back up an iphone when I haven't set the phone up for back ups & the touch screen doesn't work? The phone can receive calls (not answer) & the pictures & messages can be seen but the touch screen doesn't work to unlock the phone or select anything. We want to save/transfer pictures, contacts, and music to the replacement phone.

    Try backing it up to your computer with iTunes.  Connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of the phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer you apps and other purchased media to your iTunes library.

  • Built in microphone and touch screen doesn't work

    Hi
    I have problems with two things, my built in microphone doesn't record anything, also I tried all suggested steps of HP support.
    Windows recognizes the microphone.
    The touch screen doesn't work the touch part, but the display is working good.
    Also i tried to update Drivers, but looks like Windows does not recognized the touch screen, when I going to Control Panel and search for touch screen stuff, I do not see anything.
    I hope you can help me to fix this.
    Thank you.

    Hi @ldiego008 ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY TouchSmart m7 Notebook and the microphone and the Touchscreen not working correctly. If you follow this document it will show you how to correct this issue on the Touchscreen.
    Try following  this document document on Resolving Microphone and Line-in issues for Windows 8.1.
    Here is something else that might help if you need it. If you go to the Device Manager (Audio inputs and outputs)and uninstall it from there restart the computer it should automatically reinstall it for you. This link shows you the Device Manager Screen shots that might help.
    Hope this helps with both issues.
    Thanks.

  • Touch screen doesn't recognize my touch?

    My iphone started acting funny the other day. It would only recognize my touch occasionally and was very quick and jerky. Now I cannot unlock my phone at all, nor can I turn it off. The touch screen does not recognize my touch at all. The phone will ring and I can receive texts, but I cannot answer or access my telephone at all. I am very frustrated because I have only had the phone for a couple weeks longer than the warranty and the Apple Store wants to charge me $199.00 to have it fixed. It seems a little bit too convenient that right at the end of the warranty the phone stops working. Does anyone know how I can go about fixing this without having to buy a brand new phone? Any help would be appreciated. I love my iPhone, but I am a little disenchanted with it presently. Please help me. Thank you.

    I'm having a similar problem, started yesterday with my 2G iphone
    The touch screen doesn't work in a very specific line horizontally across the screen that only comes into play in certain screens:
    -Calculator, the C, +/-, div, X buttons no longer respond.
    -In contacts, any contact or phone number that happens to fall in that exact place does not respond (very difficult for calling people)
    -In the app store I can't log in or cancel out because the 'ok' and 'cancel' buttons are in the dead zone.
    -When scrolling once my finger hits that spot it stops.
    -In notes I can't click on the third note down. (I'll never know what I wanted to remember on Fed 5th)
    ...on & on & on...
    It is only an issue when the click-able icon is in this 'exact' spot, a little up & a little down & I'm fine.
    on another note: Interesting how some one received a free replacement when music couldn't be purchased from itunes (above post), and someone else was told to buy a new phone when they couldn't power down... not fair.
