iPad typing on it's own and moving between pages

Hello! I have the same issue. I'd like to replace my iPad mini but Apple thinks that I should pay for another one, full price. My Mother's iPhone 5th Generation started having this issue as well. After a month or so of this issue she called Apple Tec and they told her it was a 'System Glitch' that all of the products sometimes had. 😐 Come on. So after recieving this bit of information, you could use this to try and get it replaced for free, but Apple doesn't like to replace people's iPad's because they lose money. They could possibly.

-Another case of iPad Hauntings-

So, my iPad Mini started acting up 6 months after I accidentally cracked the screen from corner to corner at school somehow. This happened in about October of 2015, and my screen was then replace by a guy who doesn't work for Apple, Because Apple was going to make me buy a 200 dollar new iPad, and give them mine. Nope. So as of July 2016 on a trip to visit some family, I had my iPad caseless and in my backpack's front pouch. Someone slammed my backpack down onto the cement and I knew terror had struck. My iPad was Cracked again. I immediatly started praying that my dear iPad would be okay and flung myself over to it to find that, it was only a small scrack on the top right corner that stayed on the white part of my iPad. Something that could be covered and protected by a case that I needed. After we got home I started having Issues the next month. The far left of the iPad when standing straight is dead pretty much. I can see the screen there, but the keys Q & the Capitalization Key were unable to be touched if standing straight. That was only the begging. After a week of this issue my iPad started doing things on its own. And it did creepy things. It would pull up the camera and location on a regular basis without me touching it. Creepy Right? Well it got worse. It would type random things on its own and the screen would go crazy.

I recalled how in the summer of 2014 my Mother's iPhone 5 did the same thing, so she called Apple Tec (on the home phone) and they fixed it even without her bringing it to the Apple Store somehow, but they told her it was a System Glitch that all of the Models had. What. Come on Apple. You guy's are smarter than I'll ever be. Can't you fix a System Glitch?

REASONS WHY YOU'RE IPAD IS BE HAUNTED

1. The Screen is dirty. Clean your screen off, but do not use water. Water on the surface of your iPad can make the haunting worse.

2. Pressure is being applied to the glass covering your beautiful iPad Baby. Nobody likes being pushed 24/7 and Neither does your iPad. Try removing your iPad's case and see if the haunting stops, and if so Horray, and if not, Try removing your iPad's Screen Protector.

3. There could be a 60 year old man stalking you, Hide your wife, Hide your kids.

4. If you've had your screen replace, it could be the reason your iPad is haunted.

WHAT THE HECK DO YOU DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

1. Call Apple.

2. Go to an Apple store, and ask for help.

3. Try cleaning out your iPad.

4. Get a New iPad for Christmas and Sell your old iPad to Apple.

UPDATE

IT SEEMS LIKE AFTER I STARTED LISTENING TO TWENTY ONE PILOTS MY IPAD STARTED MESSING UP, IS THE GOVERNMENT MAD AT ME BECAUSE I DOWNLOADED HEATHENS?

Well you're just a *******, that ain't the problem nor a fix!!!

I had this exact problem and was able to fix it.

My iPad started bugging out, typing randomly and opening apps by itself. It started after I had brought it on a trip in my backpack. My pack was pretty full and I think it put some pressure on the iPad. I made sure when I packed it the screen was facing out so I wouldn't scratch it. I think it ended up bending it so it compressed the screen. Like if your belly was the screen and you stretched your back by arching over the back of a chair. That's what I think caused the issue.

Anyway, the way I fixed it was to bend my iPad slightly in the opposite way. So instead of stretching your belly by arching your back you'd now be doing a stomach crunch. I put my iPad across my thigh screen side down and pushed down gently on either side so that it bends slightly. That seemed to fix it. It's been weeks now without a problem.

Hope this helps someone.

Well, I was able to fix mine last night - after repeatedly going bizzurk while laying in bed trying to play Sudoku, I started beating the **** thing repeatedly against my knees until I bent the crap out of it. I then proceeded, to pound it against the night stand until it parted into about 10 million pieces. I then walked over to the garbage can & tossed it. F*CKING PROBLEM SOLVED.....................

This is happening to me, the sticky keys and I can't control it. The Safari screen goes crazy, enlarging and minimizing on it's own and I can't stop it unless I close the window. Help!!!

Ok, I was having the same issue with my seventeen months old iPhone 6.

Issues I had..

1) the Screen jams and at times, I was not able to even unlock the phone and I had to restart the phone many times in a day.

2) The apps and screens open on their own and key board starts typing automatically. Unless one experience this personally, others cannot understand what we are talking about. Honestly, I first suspected aliens, then ghosts and then hackers, messing with my iPhone 6.

3) Took the iPhone to Apple store and they said sensors are not working as they should and screen must be replaced.

Did some research into this and realized that iPhone 6 and above have the tendency to bend (based on your handling., my phone had a soft case) and it is very much likely the phone got pressed or bent fractionally.

Here is the solution I tried and this completely fixed the problem. This is the second day since tying this and since then the phone is working perfectly without any issues.

1) Hold the phone with both hands, in portrait (as if you are watching a movie). No need to turn off the phone.

2) gently twist the phone. (i.e push one hand to forward and other hand towards you) Very gently. The intent here is to loosen the parts/sensors stuck to the screen. (I did this some 3 or 4 times).

3) Keep the phone on a flat surface for some time (say 10 mins).

4) By now you should see the ghost movements have stopped. If not, repeat the above steps one more time.

5) Once the phone is stabilized, reset the hardware (hold home button and power button simultaneously till the screen goes blank and then power back on).

6) connect the phone to your laptop, go to itunes and completely reset the phone to factory settings. This will take few mins (and before that please take a back up of your phone contents).

This should solve the issues posted by users in this thread. Good luck.

Thank me if your issues are resolved, but please do not sue me if you break your phone :-)

Please be very very gentle while you twist your phone.

Dude, do you know of any other way to fix it other than replacing the iPad? I got my iPad for Christmas. I don't really want to replace it. Even if I do, I would getting a cellular model.

Lol, mine does that too!

Thank you so much for your advice and that solved

my ipad issue.

I am having issues too! At first I thought it was my screen protector, but didn't on't think that's it! Just now it took me back to google as I was typing!

Do they charge you any money to get it replaced?
