iPad touch screen problem - self touching!

Are you suggestiing an Ap can influence the screen when it it not running. I get the problem where the Google screen will not accept touches. I have to reload the webpage. Also the Google Bookmark will not accept a touch but other Bookmarks will.

This is not normal. You should return the defective iPad to Apple. To learn more about Apple's return policy, visit http://store.apple.com/us/help/returns_refund

Hope I helped,

This happened to me . Luckily I had black tie services. They replaced the entire iPad free

Try this and it seems to be working great now.

I found that my screen glitches and then stops for a while and does it again. A very useful Lapp is Draw Something 2, click free draw and I saw lines appearing. I also doodled where the line was, I believe that my problem was a row between w and e. Send it to the apple store by any chance, I'm sure they will replace it.

Lapp? I mean app.

MY ipad mini was in the same condition. One of my friends suggested me to take the screenguard off. and it works miracle. Now, my ipad mini nevr do self touching... Hope this tips helps you... Apparently some screenguards affect screen performance

I've been following various threads on Apple discussions since October. I'm working in an app development company based in Thailand ( both iOS and android ). We have 9 iPads, 4 iPhones ( 5 and 6s) and 7 iPads and all iPhones + my personal iPhone 5 and iPad are having touch issues and visible overheating problems since iOS 9. I'm currently running 9.3 beta 5 and still no luck.

Many hard reboots, flashes from both locally the device or iTunes it never helped.

Apple Care in Chonburi charged me even money for fix but never actually fixed my iPhone. They actually replaced the screen with some 2nd hand screen and still no luck.

Also very convenient is that Apple also stop signing old iOS so there is no fix.

So, or Apple hand over signed iOS 8 or court is an option. I see case can be legally supported from world wide nations since there is no fix from Apple for over 7 months now.

We have about 80 iPad 4's here, and one just developed this problem. We tried updating to the latest iOS, but it didn't help. I followed some advice I found somewhere to turn gestures off and on, and all keyboard options off and on, but it didn't help.

It seems to randomly tap in the middle of the screen, not always in exactly the same spot. Sometimes it can go for long periods ok, then it'll start up again. It appears to be less affected in portrait than landscape orientation, but I suspect that's only because in landscape there are no icons right in the middle of the screen.

I have discovered that I can replicate the problem by flexing the iPad a little. If I hold the two long edges and twist each hand in opposite directions so that one top edge goes up and the other top edge goes down, I can make it go crazy. I'm making it flex by only a millimetre or two. Holding the iPad by just one corner can also trigger it, as its weight makes it flex.

I now think something inside it is either cracked, loose or dirty, and is making intermittent contact. I've sent it off to a repairer to have a look.

Hopefully this posting will at least help others to easily demonstrate the problem to Apple staff or repairers. If your iPad's problem can be triggered the same way, a workaround might be to put it in a very rigid cover, e.g. Griffin Survivor. That might at least reduce the problem to a tolerable level.
