iPad Mini going crazy!! Screen is moving and randomly selecting on its own.

this is recently happen on my ipad mini, i simply put on un-cook rice for all night then in the morning back to normal again, i wanting to take to apple store i just had no time, hoping this help i have no warranty anymore 😟

MY Ipad 3 is now doing the same thing. It seems like it is heat related. I had the screen replaced a year ago, so it might be as people speculated, a screen connector problem. Bit taking a screen off is risky.

Thank you carlosv72. This was the trick that solved the problem on my iPhone6. Phone works perfectly now. Get the right tools, watch the videos, and do this simple repair to end the jumping screen issues.

I Had the same problem with my iPhone 5 iOS 9.2.1.

The easiest way to do this is to go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings

You will be asked to enter a passcode (You may be asked for a passcode. I never set it, but figured out that it was 1234).

A confirmation will be asked. Follow the steps.

ios will restart and there... Your device is normal again!

My iPad mini has also start acting like it is being remotely controlled. I've narrowed it down to it does it or it starts doing it while taking pictures. Once it even placed a bid on ebay and once it listed something on ebay. To make it stop while it is going crazy I have to hold down the power button until it shuts off or there is no telling what it will do. It's like someone is just randomly tapping all over my screen and I can't make it stop.

I'll reboot, shut it down, clear the memory (I like SYS-activity), and sometimes that will help (for an hour maybe) and sometimes it will not help. Sometimes after shutting it completely off and turning it back on it does it immediately.

I have no screen protector interfering with the screen. It seems like it started happening right after the update to OS 9.3.1.

It does it whether I am taking pictures through the camera itself or through an app (like ebay). It's getting dangerous to take pictures because I can't control it once it goes crazy and I could bid a million dollars on something on ebay if I don't shut it down fast enough.

PS - I do not have multitasking gestures on.

My case is similiar to yours, no multitasking gestures,no screen protectors. It seems like its hacked and starts in almost any app,it even sent a request for a new password to my bank and I was totally unaware until I got a link for a password reset. closing out apps doesnt help, rebooting doesnt help, I even reset to factory defaults and updated software and its still glitchy- ghost typing, opening and closing apps, app crashes.

Had the same problem developed over the last few months. Very noticeable, though not only, when playing spider solitaire (free game) when it would start playing! Removing my moves and making new ones. Problem completely solved when I removed spider solitaire. Don´t have any downloaded games on my ipad mini. What a relief! Try it.

my ipad mini going crazy. it work itself and random application starting its own. and letters typing automatically. After restart ipad it work for 2-3 minutes and problem start again. anyone can help to sort out this trouble. its 2 years old IPAD.

mine is opening random apps and i cant do anything it is also clicking all the letters so i cant type! really anoying when trying to nter password

GO to setting, general, and turn off multitasking gestures. My iPad mini has been normal since I turned that feature off.

This started happening to me too a few days ago. I've tried rebooting and I just updated to iOS 7.1, but it's still hapenning.

i removed my screensaver and thought all was fine but the message i just wrote didn't post. ??

If i went to the apple store and i dont have a insurence on my ipad and it is doing this can i then get a new one for free or do i have to pay?

Thank you souila7, I had the same problem on my iPad mini 1. Have you tried iPad? Which section should I brush on iPad?

So souila7 is the connection port where you connect the charger?
