Touch screen is not responding properly

My iphone just started acting crazy today and I have reset it a couple of times and still the problem persists. It's as if the touch signals that are sent to the phone have nothing to do with what I'm actually doing. For example at times it can be impossible to power off or close applications. I may touch the dead center of the screen and the phone may be behave as though I touched an upper right or lower left corner. Sometimes the interface is also sluggish...
What can I do short of restoring the whole phone?
Are there any iPhone viruses? I'd say it's behaving as though there is a virus!

If you have tried power off/on, reset by holding the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, and still get this behavior, the only viable solution is an Apple store. There are no virus that infect the iPhone and cause this behavior.
And the screen is not pressure sensitive, it depends on a change in the capacitance of the screen due to contact with the skin...so hard taping and hard pressure have no effect.
The behavior of trying to close apps makes it sound like there is a fault in the screen or its connecting circuitry.
None of which really helps your situation if you are not able to visit an Apple store.

Has anyone had an issue with the app scramble with friends after upgrading to iOS 6. Tapping the screen will not select the tiles and hold them.

Yes I am having the same problem. I can't find any info about it and nothing seems to help. I am just posting this in hope that if it's a wider problem, there will be a quick solution.

iphone is diabled- connect to iTunes because i forget passcode.
i cannot connect iTunes because it's always asking to enter passcode on iphone.
So, i cannot make restore my iphone 6+. And then, I cann't erase "device" in icloud.
My iphone is new. No icloud. didn't connect to itune backage.
That's why I try to connect iTunes but it need to enter passcode.
So, my iphone just keep "iphone is disbled-connect to iTunes".

Portion of my iphone touch screen is not responding

Portion of the iphone touch screen is not responding while typing (both horizontal and vertical). All other functions are O.K. Is it LCD problem or any calibration problem ? Some experts says the LCD screen is to be replaced ?

basic troubleshooting steps from the User Guide are restart, reset and restore. Have any of these been tried?

Also, i have a f'ew cracks in my screen for a while now and it was running smoothly up until saturday when i sat on it applying large amounts of pressure to the phone screen.

My phone freezes and the touch screen does not respond to my touch.

My i-phone 4 has been freezing up on me as of late. The buttons will still work but the touch screen does not respond to my touch.
Is my phone hooped or can I do sometinhg to fix it?

First thing to try is a reboot of your iPhone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPhone restart. See if that fixes your problem.

My apple iPad touch screen is not responding

My apple ipad touch screen is not responding it was working since few hours then that happened. There is no a single point on the responds to touch but everything is working on the welcome screen, detects the Wi-Fi ... etc.
First thing I did was passing on my local agent store. They did a soft reset what caused lose all data and apps (not a problem) but they didn't fix and asked to visit the support branch .. now i can't use the "Siri trick" and I think it's not helpful after resetting my device.
I tried removing the screen protector but still no hope. Turned off it and cleaned the screen but didn't help!!
Is There another way? Any expected scenarios/time when I visit the repair branch in Egypt?
I've upgraded to latest (7.12) 2 or 3 weeks ago

Thanks ..
I've mentioned that I did that now I'm in another stage, The iPad at the main reseller support department and they told me now that they will give me another in return .... the strange thing I have heard was that I have to wait 4 weeks until they get me one from Apple .. I'm i Egypt

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

My ipod has suddenly 'zoomed in' and it wont zoom out. the touch screen is not moving properly and I have looked in settings but there is no where to 'zoom it out'
does anyone know how to fix this?

It is three fingers, not two. From the Users Guide:
Zoom in or out: Double-tap the screen with three fingers.

My touch screen does not respond to my "slide to unlock". reset does not help. iPhone 4S works otherwise.

my touch screen does not respond to my "slide to unlock". reset does not help. iPhone 4S works otherwise.

I cannot use it. I can get calls and text messages but I can't respond because the screen is locked and I can't "slide to unlock" because the touch screen does not work.

New ipad2: touch screen does not respond

Hello, my name is Alessandro, I'm from Italy.
I bought a new iPad 2 from Apple Store. After a day of use the touch screen does not respond and sometimes executes commands at random. I updated the OS, I restored as a new device, but nothing has changed.
Someone can help me?

Have you tried a reset ? 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.

HT1430 My IPAD Mini touch screen is not responding, it is showing a message icloudBackup but the back up is not happening and the system seems to be hanged

My IPAD Mini touch screen is not responding, it is showing a message icloudBackup but the back up is not happening and the system seems to be hanged?

Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
Then test to see if it solved the problem.
