Cannot slide to answer phone calls

At times, I'm also not able to slide to answer the calls with Iphone 6S, though I've updated it with the latest update.

This post is from 2010. I can't belive in 2016 I have the same problem, using the latest phone with the lastest software available (iOS 10.0.1) I think that this problem has something to do with the deep layers of the IOS itself, doesn't matter the version, nothing will fix this, only rewritting the software from scratch which they'll never do.

As I see, for my phone- it's a sporadic behavior so nobody knows why.

Since the best flawless phone ever made, 3GS, all the iphones had issues. Big issues. Like this, or the issue with the clock freeze. And they are doing nothing about this. On Android, if an app doesn't work, you download another. Using apple, you can't replace the call app. So I'm stuck with this ugly green icon. Apple should pay my bill because I have to call all my friends back everytime they call me.

I believe all the earlier models suffer from the same problem that has been greatly affecting the 6's and that is "iphone touch disease".

The iphone 4 and up all use BGA for the touch digitiser as well...

This is going to sound stupid but, get someone to call you and hold on to a water tap. I'll bet you it works! iPhone does not like Static electricity in your body. When you hold tap it earths you and gets rid of static. Changing the type of shoes you wear should help. Hope that's helpful.

Hi All,

I exactly got the same problem and stumbled on this site. By reading all the posts and with some intuition, guess I may have 'work around' or solved this issue.

Guess the problem is when you pick up the phone it is isolated (insulated), and when try to slide with your single finger touching it isnt recognising the touch. It is like a crow on the high tension wire, it doesnt die because current isnt flowing through it.

Solution:

I held one finger somewhere else on the screen and slide with the other finger it worked!

Thanks

I looked into this issue way too late, I just bought the new iPhone 7 plus got it about two weeks ago, and still the problem is there. I thought it was an issue with my last iPhone 5, because I dropped it once. Now T-Mobile doesn't let me buy an other phone because I signed the contract over a month ago fml. This is just great, another two years of dealing with this sh*t every time I get called.

Worked for me, thanks, I can answer my calls now.

Amazing, it works! Thanks so much - I thought I would have to buy a new phone.

Thanks, works for me too.

Bloody amazing that nobody from apple could come up with a solution after three years?

I have never had any security settings turned on and I still have the problem, it has persisted through all my updates of ios and I am currently using latest ios 11.1.2
