ios 9.0.2 update -> Now touchscreen problems!

It really drives me crazy. I've got the same problem.

Since updating iOS 9.0.2 (and iOS 9.1 beta 5. Actually, I have done everything I could do), when I turn off a screen and on the screen after 5 minutes, my touchscreen is literally frozen. I couldn't do anything. I was pressing all over the screen, but there was nothing. Surprisingly, if I turn on the screen again instantly, it works. How irritating. And the most critical problem is that I couldn't even answer the phone, because the touchscreen was frozen! I am really looking forward to fixing this problem, Mr.Apple.

Lastly, sorry for that my english is off. I'm not a native speaker.

It's now been 3 weeks, and close to 10,000 views, and apple still hasn't fixed this problem. iPhones and iPod Touches are not inexpensive items, and touch capability is the most important feature on these devices, and their now there literally useless. My next device will definitely not be an Apple product, because the cook's apple has now become rotten to the core.

Bloody Same issue for me.. I heard a lot about quality of apple products and so I bought my first iphone (Iphone6) and first thing it showed is update to IOS 9.0.2 and its a complete bull ****.. and now I regret selling my note 4 and bought a Iphone6.

List of F**cing problems I faced.

1. WIFI Connectivity Issues. (It doesn't open safari page as I have to login to a service provider page have to do this on laptop and then re-connect to wifi)
2. Touch Screen Freezes Out (Have to lock the phone and unlock it again to bring back the screen to respond to touch)
3. Touch goes on its own.(like some black magic happened to my phone)
4. Opens apps on its own.
5. Keyboard Types on its own(Specially it types "Y", "G" and "H" most of the times)
6. Music seems a big mess.(I have to Keep mobile data on to even hear the songs which I had added to "Make available offline").
7. A BIG REGRET for Paying APPLE a Huge MONEY to get this Bloody Useless Brick (Android is the king)

Going back to android

Same issue with iOS 9.0.2 and iPhone 6.

All,

I have just updated the IOS to 9.1 version. Tomorrow I will share the results, before that I would suggest not to upgrade to 9.1, it may be with issues as well. Tomorrow I will share my tests results before everyone just starts to move to 9.1.

I can confirm that the touchscreen STILL does not work with 9.1.

I am going in to see the Apple technician today so hopefully he will know what the problem is and fix it.

I will post here later if it is fixed and how it was fixed.

i have the same problems 😟 specialy the keyboard key(y,g,v) !

Yes Right...

Guys, Pls DO NOT upgrade to 9.1, it has more issues then 9.0.2. Touch screen is not just another issue for me...

I have already moved to Sony Xperia... I'm still receiving email alerts from this blog which I could turn off but thought to be helpful to people around here at least by testing on my piece of useless brick and share results... Ahhh wait, not completely useless.... at least its useful for testing now 😀 LOL

*** HATE APPLE Grrrrrr ***

This is utterly embarrassing. ios 9.1 did not fix this issue and in fact exacerbated it. And with no easy ability to revert to 9.0.1 or 8.4, my phone is practically useless- especially since I cannot swipe to actually receive calls. I cannot believe the support on this issue has been so utterly poor.

Ok guys I took it to the Apple store and the technician swapped out a new phone for me.

He said Apple has been getting these issues but STILL don't know what is causing it or how to fix it.

They don't know if it is just certain devices that are faulty or if it is the software.

I was barely able to get a new one at no charge since I had my 1 year warranty.

I was actually 1 day over but he was nice enough to give me a new one.

If you are out of warranty it will cost you $329 dollars to switch to a new phone..

So your best bet is to take it to an Apple technician and get a new phone.

After restoring from a backup my phone was back to normal as before with no touchscreen error.

Yes, as I posted the other day, I brought my iPhone 6 Plus into an Apple store, turned it in for a new phone... thank goodness it was preloaded with iOS 8.4.1. I reloaded my info from the cloud and it now works perfectly. I will NOT be updating my iOS until, from multiple sources, I get great reviews for a future 9.x.x.

Unfortunately most of us are not still under warranty. I know that saying this will probably get my post removed, for 'speculation', but why would an apple tech say that this problem 'could' only be isolated to certain devices? Unless every apple device sold, 'is not' manufactured the same way, and wt the same exact hardware, they should all be operating the same way. Perhaps people wt similar touch problems have a software installed, purchased at the app store, that is causing the problem. No matter what the reason, it is Apples bad. The problem isn't a small one either, and w/o touch capability, our devices are useless. We purchased our devices, and expect them to operate. If Apple expects us to continue being customers, a small refund is in order, once and if the problem is resolved. A couple of free song, or app downloads, won't be enough reimbursement, for literally weeks of lack of device use, but it's a start. Again I know that this forum will most likely remove this post, but I needed to get this off my chest.

I was having the same issues on my 6+ : a dead screen, random unwanted keyboard inputs, and inability to answer calls. I installed all the updates and nothing helped. I took my phone to the apple store and they took it in the back opened it up and told me it was a screen problem. They replaced the screen at no cost even though it was out of warranty.

I told them that the first time this issue occurred was around the time I installed IOS version 9.0

Wow this is good news, that Apple is following this forum and contacted you. My device seems to be having similar problems like you. Usually cycling it off, also works for me. Still for me, it's useally only about 5 - 8 presses before it acts wonky, but sometimes, it works great for ten minutes. For me the problem occurs most often, when I am entering or editing info into the calendar app. Also sometimes when I try to cycle it off, even the slide to power off won't register a touch. Also cycling the device off & on, several times in a short period of time, is a really big drain on the battery, so I hate having to do that.

Luckily my device, does not seem to be registering false touches, but thanks for the tip, about moving open apps to a second screen. I find that closing all open apps, except for the one I'm currently using , seems to increase the amount of time, I'll have before touch ability fails.

I will not be spending hundreds of dollars on an identical replacement, that's for sure, especially when the replacement will most likely also fail. Looks like some more time waiting for corrective update. 😕
