iPhone6 touchscreen problems

Did a hard reset which has solved the problem. Hard reset = hold sleep and home button together until screen goes black and apple logo comes on (don't let buttons go until you see the logo).

Update from my side: The iphone works fine, no more typing delays or dead spots, the touchscreen reacts like it should.

So it was either:

- restoring it completely via iTunes with the new downloaded iOS8

- NOT setting it up from a backup

what fixed the problem.

iPhone 6 128gb here. Same problem. Touch screen is randomly unresponsive. While keyboard typing L, A, backspace, and caps are essentially unusable. really frustrated and dreading the restore. We will see if it fixed it though. I really hope so.

Can someone else besides Rephlexions confirm that a hard reset fixes the problem? I've already invested a ton of time into completely re-setting up my phone from scratch so I don't really want to try this myself, but would be curious to see if this fixes the problem for others.

Hard reset does not fix the problem for me.

There actually is only a Reset (not a hard reset) and there is no known complexity or difficulty in performing this very easy task. If you gone through setting up your iPhone from "scratch" that effort was far more difficult than a Reset. I noticed the potential issue with Touch-Screen sensitivity on my iPhone 6 as soon as I started typing a Text that the AppleCare Rep. was asking me to perform as I was purchasing AppleCare. Suddenly compared to my typing on my previous iPhone 5, I was experiencing trouble trying to type a short message. I had also experienced some multiple Taps required to open Apps including just trying to open the Phone or Mail App. This Tap issue is certainly Random and I am starting to think if I aim lower on an App Widget it more often than not will open on the first try. I am trying this specific aiming technique as I type words with an A or any key near the outer edges of the Touch-Screen. So far I haven't proven anything as yet. I did to a Reset and it takes almost no time, but I can't say that it had any effect on the Touch-Screen sensitivity. I am expecting a phone call this evening with a Senior Tech Rep from AppleCare and hope to at least learn more about this potential issue.

Update: I have now reloaded all of my media (music, photos, etc.) and all of my most-used apps. So far the touchscreen wonkiness has not returned. I can't say it with 100% certainty yet, but it certainly seems as though a "nuke and pave" is the way to go to solving this issue.

Someone in another thread suggested turning off reachability (settings>general>accessibility) so I did that and then did a hard reset and so far that seems to be working.

Does not work for me.

I'll have to resort to losing years worth of continuity and do a fresh install and set up as new phone.

I Tried all of the above. The only thing that fixed it was a restore 😟

Update

Doing a Settings>General>reset>"reset all settings" fixed it for me

At least this way it saves all apps and data, just need to redo all settings.

Derp... now why didn't I think of that? Just spent all day reloading my apps and rearranging my home screens/folders... :-P

same issue, not satisfied of iPhone 6

Me too!!!

reset all settings fixes this issue and keeps all your data

OK, after a full day of heavy usage, with my standard collection of media, apps, etc. on it, I think I can safely say that the full factory restore did the trick for me. I'm guessing that some corrupted something-or-other worked its way into my data (I've been pretty much restoring from the same backup, going back to the days of the iPhone 4!) I thought about it a bit, and really it kind of makes sense. These things are basically little pocket-sized computers, they run a (albeit stripped down/customized) version of the desktop OS X operating system. And our desktop machines (yes, both Windows and Macs too) also tend to get wonky if you just do the upgrade thing over and over again, so a clean reinstall is always recommended every now and again. Yes it's a pain, but it does seem to work to give things a good cleaning-out every now and again.
