Unresponsive bottom of screen on iPhone 3G

dropped my iphone 3g on a carpet, however the very bottom of my screen has now become unresponsive so wont allow me to bring the keyboard up on messages - any suggestions?

sounds like you broke your phone, doesn't it?  Bring your phone and a credit card to Apple and purchase an out of warranty replacement.  Or, bring your phone to a 3rd party iPhone repair shop.

  • Hello, I recently cracked the bottom part of my iPhone 5 right by the home button, would it be beneficial to put a screen protector over the cracks so it won't break anymore? I've cracked it twice now and can't afford to fix it again

    How did you crack the screen using a Lifeproof case??

  • HT4623 How to close apps at bottom of screen for new iphone update?

    Updated my phone 7ios can't  close open apps at bottom of screen its causing my phone to drain battery

    Don't quite understand what you're asking but I think you mean the apps running in the background?. If thats the case do this:
    - double tap the home button
    - swipe the app up you wish to close
    You could also read over the link below to see what steps you can take to get the most out of your battery:
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
    Also a new feature in iOS 7 called "Background App Refresh" can use a bit of battery life so it wouldn't hurt to also turn this off. You can do this by going to settings>general>background app refresh.

  • My bluetooth seems to have stopped working in my car. Both phone and car audio says it is connected but nothing comes through car speaker.  I no longer have screen on iphone that says to choose audio source.  How do I get that screen back?

    Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
    From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
    In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
    Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.

  • My screen on iPhone won't rotate since latest upgrade

    My screen on iPhone won't rotate since latest upgrade

    Look in the status bar to see if you have accidently turned on the orientation lock. It would be an icon near the battery icon that looks like a small lock with a circular arrow around it. It will also be in the Control Center, when you swipe upwards from the bottom of the phone screen. Top row of icons, the last one on the right. White is on, black is off.
    I've also asked the hosts to move your post to an iPhone forum, so you can get more assistance.

    Why did I lose my end call button at bottom of screen after last update ? I have to end  a call by pushin button at top of phone

    Hi dave2370,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone.  The red End Call button should still be working.
    For initial troubleshooting, I would suggest restarting and resetting your iPhone, and also updating it to the latest version of the iOS software, which is iOS 6.1.4.
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    Have a great day!

  • How do you lock the screen on iphone 4?

    How do you lock the screen on iphone 4 while on a call? I mute calls, activate face time and I have even called someone by accident during a call. I know there has to be a way to fix this. Please HELP!

    It locks automatically when you hold it to your head.
    If it fails to do this, then remove the case and see if it solves it.
    If it does not, then do the basics - restart, reset, restore.
    If that does not solve it, then make an appointment at the genius bar.

  • How do I get Javascript to work? It is enabled in options but nothing happens when I select something that begins "javascript" on the status bar at the bottom of screen.

    When I tried to download a file from the Canon U.S.A, I clicked on the "I agree - begin download" button and nothing happened. The information in the status bar at bottom of screen, when the mouse cursor is over the download button is "javascript:downloadFile()". I got following from the error console -
    Error: The stylesheet http://www.usa.canon.com/wsss/GeneratedPages/wsss_xsl/global.css was not loaded because its MIME type, "text/html", is not "text/css".
    Source File: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/i_series/i950_series?selectedName=DriversAndSoftware
    There were also many warnings about parsing of commands.
    This sort of thing seems to happens whenever whenever javascript is involved.

    I checked out the "Unable to download or save files" section. The only thing that seemed applicable was the "Reset download actions" section. I renamed the mimeTypes.rdf file to mimeTypes.rdf.old but it didn't seem to have any effect on downloading the file I wanted. There was still no response when I asked for the download.
    I have noticed another problem that occurs when I try to download this file. I exit Firefox, then try to restart it. But nothing happens. I have discovered that in the Task Manager that the Firefox process is still running. When I end the Firefox process in the Task Manager, I am then able to restart Firefox.
    By the way, I am able to download the file using Internet Explorer without difficulty.
