iPhone 5 jumpy screen after latest IOS update?

Excellent idea. My wife tried that several times (as did I) to see if that solved the problem. Obviously, multiple hard resets are not generally a good plan; however, after each time, the problem seemed to resolve itself. Unfortunately, it keeps coming back...it is like there is a bug in the screen interface or some counter gets overloaded... hence why hard resets or cyling the phone through the sleep stage seems to help temporarily...

I also thought it might be a really dirty screen, so I cleaned it...still the problem came back.

I guess I'm going to have to go the backup and restore route... or take advantage of the Apple Care warranty 😉 and make apple come up with a better solution!!!

Honestly, I have been holding off on the new resotre route as my wife says the problem comes and goes now. When it starts, she puts the phone to sleep and then brings it back up to mitigate the problem. Clearly not an ideal solution when one has to do that several times a day; however, I'm hoping someone at Apple will monitor the discussion (HINT, HINT) and provide a better solution than "start from beginning,"

I am wondering if the problem happens predominately in one portion of the screen? My wife is convinced it is a screen issue toward the lower third middle.

Zabul,

Thank you for replying. My hope is that enough people will comment and we can get software engineer help from Apple.

Update to everyone following this discussion. I asked my wife this morning if she was still having the problem. She says that it appears to be lessening. (FYI - I haven't done the new restore yet).

I'm not sure why it is lessening to the point of going away unless repeated sleep cyling is solving the problem...

Zabul,

Interesting that you brought up the returning issue. My wife was complaining about that this past evening. I am still looking for more people with #iPhone5jumpyscreen issues

DeborahD,

You are having to to a hard reset everyday? My wife's phone has settled down but occasionally it will start jumping on her. Her solution is to close the phone (rather than a hard reset). Then go back in; usually after she puts in her passcode, the problem disappears.

Admittedly, this is not a solution but a repetative band-aid. Unfortunately, the Apple Support Community monitors do see this as important - probably due to a few number of complaints. If you know of anyone else having this issue, please have them chime in on this discussion...hopefully more people will create enough noise for attention.
