Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hi, i just got my i5 and my keyboard flickers sometimes on the app store, is this happening to anybody else? I ordered my phone thru the apple online. Hopefully this glitch gets fixed on the next update. I hope my i5 is not defective, any replies would be appreciated, thanks.
iPhone 5, iOS 6
I still think it is an OS issue. I've reproduced it when my phone is cool (hasn't been in use for an hour) and I can get it to instantly go away when I double-tap the home button (bringing up the open apps in background). When I go and use the soft keyboard in other areas immediately after it occurs, I do not see it. It seems confined to the App store and Apple ID password entry for me.
The fact that they say "as of now, there is no fix" doesn't point hardware or software. It just means they don't know when the fix will be provided. That would be the case if it were a software fix that may or may not make it into 6.0.1, or whatever the next planned release is.
no i wasnt saying "as of now" means its a hardware issue, i was saying that fact they told me it happens outside the app store means its a hw issue
but yes, it could be a universal OS issue as well in that case
Occasionally happens to me too (horizontal line across the screen). On top of this glitch, the letter "o" was blinking the whole time I was typing an iMessage. I was typing more then 130 characters. Tried several times to press the letter "O" did not stop but worked ok. I mean, pressed three times - three O's showed in the text.
This happens to me when i try to download an app and asks me for my password towards the bottom of the screen i get a horizontal flicker.
Has anyone found a fix, or is there a more offical thread to follow this on? I've been seeing this since I got my iPhone 5 and it's starting to concern me. Where else is this being talked about?
not many places, this is the biggest thread i see. Also, Apple knows about it, they just dont have a fix. Looking more and more like hardware issue.
I'm not sure if it is a hardware issue, today when I saw it happen I tried taking a screen grab (Power + Home) the grab happened, and the glitch cleared...
The screen refresh caused by the grab appeared to be enough to clear the glitch, so is it a graphic buffer problem, something to do with iOS and the new A6 chipset?

I've experienced the same thing trying to take a screen shot. I wish Apple would tell us what's going on, so I know whether I need to go to the Apple store for an exchange. I don't trust the Genius bar guys have enough knowledge in this kind of stuff to know whether it's software or hardware related.
Hey guys, ive got an iPhone 5 16GB and am having the same issue. Considering that ive only seen it in the app store, same with many others in this form, i have a feeling that its an OS issue, and will be "hopefully" be fixed in 6.0.1 whenever thats spit out.....
I've been having this issue as well. I finally managed to have another camera with me when the issue appeared:
The issue is solved with a new iPhone iOS 6 update that came out today. Its iOS 6.0.1 it fixes a few bugs and that is listed as one of them.
iphone 5 keyboard flickers only on app store
