Touch screen not working properly

I've encountered a weird problem with my newly purchased iPhone 3G S.
The touch screen doesn't work as it ought to. I.e. when I "slide to unlock" nothing happens at first if the iPhone lies on the table, but if I pick up the phone and hold it in my left hand while sliding to unlock with my right the touch screen suddenly works flawlessly. It also work when it lies on the table and I hold two fingers on each side of the phone while I operate the phone with a third finger!?
If my description doesn't make sence I've documented the problem with this small video (please disregard the sound - I'm speaking Danish).

This isn't my first iPhone and it wasn't an issue on the 3G version that I had earlier.
Have anyone of you got an idea how to fix this or do I have to RMA a 14-days-old phone?
Best regards
Kenneth

Try #2 and 3 in link below. If neither help, it's most likely a hardware issue then. Contact Apple and get it serviced.

IPhone 4 touch screen not working properly

i have a white iphone 4 (at&t if that makes a difference)
it used to work perfectly, i havent dropped it a single time, i dont have a case on it, neither do i have a screen protector.
these past two days, my screen is going crazy. yesterday, while i was texting, when i click on backspace (to erase a mistake) it clicks the return button automatically and it doesnt stop for like 2 seconds so it skips a line for 2 seconds. then when i try to type, when i click on the letter R, it clicks on the letter S (for example). or when im on safari, i try scrolling up, it opens a website or clicks on something completely away from where i touched the screen. when it happened yesterday, i turned off and on the phone by holding the home+power buttons together until it turned off. it worked yesterday but today, it became crazier. it was wayyy worse. i cant use the phone normally because of this. sometimes i cant even unlock the phone. or it automatically ends the call when im talking to someone. when i unlock the phone, it starts acting upon itself and opens apps or opens the texts and types random letters. this is getting really annoying now that i cannot use my phone normally. is this only happening to me or has it/is it happening to someone elsee.. if it HAS HAPPENED in the past, how did you fix it ?
someone please help me! thanks

I am facing a new problem after a missed call. i phone will get freez on its lock screen after a miss call. Its seems that its main screen touch is not working properly. This problem occurs after each and every missed call.

I'm using iphone 5s with ios 7.1.2 & I am facing a new problem after every missed call. i phone gets freezed on its lock screen. It seems that its main screen touch is not working properly. It should be bug introduced by apple . This problem occurs after each and every missed call .There is no patch announcement for this issue yet. There are few workaround to fix this issue: Reboot your iphone. But its irritating to reboot the phone frequently after each issue....

Hello dipthebe,
Check out the articles below go through troubleshooting steps for your iPhone when the screen is unresponsive. You may want to try and restore your iPhone as a new device and then test out what happens when you miss a call to see if the issue is still present afterwards.

HELP: iPhone 6 Keyboard/Touch Screen Not Working

Hello.
I recently acquired to an iPhone 6, which has been working properly for the last two weeks. Today, my keyboard/touch screen stopped working properly. When I am typing in iMessage, or trying to compose an email, enter a URL, or anything else that requires my touch keyboard, my "123" button that switches to numbers, punctuation, and special characters does not open. I updated my software to iOS 8.3., which switched to a new and "improved" emoji keyboard, but I did this after my keyboard had already become unresponsive. If I click on the emjoi keyboard icon to switch over, the "ABC" button to swtich back to QWERTY is unresponsive. This is REALLY frustrating! The phone is two weeks old, and I cannot use to for a huge chunk of functionality.
It's not a dead spot on the touch screen. When I am not trying to access the keyboard, that little bottom left corner works fine to open/use my Phone app.
I really don't want to reset my phone. Any other ideas?
I made a Genius Bar appointment for next Wednesday 4/15, but that seems like an eternity from now.
Please help!

To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the Touch Screen . If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

Touch is not working properly

I have hp omni 10 .one day I change option of re calibrated now touch is not working properly how I can fix this

It seems that one of the Windows Updates is causing some conflict with the touchscreen driver/firmware. Try the following steps as a temporary work around until HP can come up with a permanent fix.
1. As you power on the Omni 10, press the hardware Volume Down button to get into the BIOS menu
2. Select BIOS Setup (if the touchscreen is not responding, you'll need to plug in a USB mouse via a micro USB male to USB female adapter)
3. Select Exit on the LEFT side of the screen
4. Select Load Setup Defaults on the RIGHT side of the screen & select Yes
5. Select Exit Saving Changes on the RIGHT side of the screen & select Yes
After the restart, the touchscreen should work again.

If after you charge it for about three hours and it only last about five minutes the battery is probably dead or there could be another hardware problem. I would go back to the Apple store and ask them specifically how can it be OK if the fully charged battery only lasts five minutes.

LaserJet Pr0 200 color MFP M276nw Touch Screen not Working correctly

Hello, I'm having an issue with a LaserJet Pr0 200 color MFP M276nw Touch Screen not Working correctly. I have followed the instructions to reset the printer, but now am unable to select 'English' as my language because every time I select the 'English' option 'Spanish' is selected. I am then given two options to select 'Si' or 'No' both of which can not be selected on the touch screen?
Anybody know of a way round this?

Hi @dnhowes ,
I see that you are having issues with the touch screen not working correctly. I will do my best to help you.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
Was it the Nvram reset back to factory settings that you tried or a hard reset?
Try selecting the option on the display a little higher above the icon to see if that helps. Some touch screens are finicky.
I find that on the Lab printers when I am selecting different menus.
If the issue continues, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836 for further assistance. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

Lenovo A1 - Touch screen not working after digitizer replacement

After dropping my tablet and breaking the digitzer, I ordered a replacement digitzer from a company in China. (It took about a month to get it) After watching this video, I was able to install my new digitizer and it finally looked new again....well at least the screen!
But.....when I powered up my tablet, the touch screen wasn't working..... I emailed back and forth with the company and they told me to install drive program, and send me a link to a site with a video, this site may have contained more than the video, but it was all in Chinese and I couldn't figure it out even with Google Translate. So I started researching. I thought I would try and load ICS on it, I thought, "Whats the worst thing that could happen?" it wasn't much more than a brick at this point anyways.
I found this website that let me through installing ICS on it. I had absolutly no expectations...but IT WORKED!!!! MY TOUCH SCREEN IS NOW WORKING!!!! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!!
When I was researching for this problem, there was absolutly no posts anywhere for "Touch screen not working after new digitizer". So I wanted to share my experience.

Yea you are correct.....it must be a hardware problem. You must contact service centre of Lenovo and get help from there.
You can say thank you by pressing the star left to my post IF I HELPED YOU

8500 All in One - touch screen not working

One minute the touch screen with all it's functions was working fine and then, bam (!), the touch screen stopped working and I can't even use the one/off switch to power the unit off - it does not respond. Funny thing is that the printer is still working from my computer so I can still send a print job via the wireless. With the touch screen not working I can't use any function from the unit itself (copy a hard copy, fax a hard copy) and if the unit runs out of paper I have to unplug it to reboot since I can't hit the 'enter' on the touch screen once I've reloaded.
Bottom line --- nothing from the unit itself works. Has a printer fairy locked me out or does this sound like a hardware error? Thanks for any help ...

Excellent. Let me know how round 2 treats you. The sad demise could have been due to a couple of things...as a side question, is the climate where you live especially dry right now? I may request that our testers recheck how well we handle a static shock on the product if it is dry where you live.

Sony Vaio Pro 13.3 Touch: Touch screen not working

Hi, The touch screen for my Sony Vaio Pro 13 Touch suddenly stopped working two days ago and I have no idea how to fix it. I didn't install anything new before it stopped working, and I tried to install all the new drivers on the VAIO update but it still didn't work. I thought it might be because of Windows so I updated to Windows 8.1 today and it still does not work. On the PC info it even says" Pen abd touch: No pen or touch input is available for this display". but this laptop is supposed to have touch capability and it has been working up until now. Please help! My model number is SVP13215CDB. Do I need to install or update my driver?

Hi FlyingTortoise,
Was there any changes prior to touch screen not working? Like installing software or hardware? If not, then try using windows system restore to restore back to a date that you know when it was working. If that still does not resolve issue. Then we may have to put the unit back to factory condition to eliminate software related before servicing the unit for hardware.

It is contarct with VirginThanks in advance

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
I'm sorry to hear. If the touch does not work, it's not much that you can do on your own more than performing a software repair to exclude software related problems. This can be done via our program Update service:
http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/
Download and install SUS, follow the instructions that appear.
Note that the personal data will be lost when performing this repair and if you cannot access the menu, you are unable to back up this data.
If the problem persist, I suggest that you contact your local support team to get information about how you should proceed in this case:
