Why is my iPhone 6 glitching?

If you restored to factory settings as new, without restoring a backup and this problem persisted, there is a hardware problem that can't be evaluated in this forum or over the phone. Make an appointment with an Apple Store Genius to evaluate the phone in person, or arrange to ship it to Apple,

I Updated to 9.1 as soon as it was available. Yesterday I noticed my phone IPhone 6 start acting crazy. I thought it was something I did but over time it cleared up. Now it's doing it again. Any help would be greatly appreciate. This is really driving me nuts. Also I don't have time to talk to an apple care tech for hours if that doesn't fix the issues. So I guess I'm asking if anyone else has had this going on did Apple care fix the bugs or should I just make appointment at Apple Store to have it looked a????

Define "acting crazy."

iOS version you updated from?

iPhone model?

Jailbreak version previously installed?

Bad digitizer.

I think you are not alone. For the last 3 weeks im having issues with my phone. My screens jump a lot as a type in areas. My internet seems to have been overtaken. Lots of redirects and pages that wont load correctly. I have been searching these redirects and information that is being collected in my diagnostic file. seeming to think that someone is remotely took over my phone. Apple has not been very helpful beside saying whats happening is not possible. Multiple resets, Two restores in a factory store and cant figure this out. What i have found out is that the idsma on apples login is corrupt, it all looks to be problems stemming from Gethub, jquerry, and elm manager. Really dissapointed, because of lack of support and belief. i have screenshots of issue and called FBI with no help from anybody. Cant believe the websites im looking at are being changed and my information is being taken. if i didnt have two step i would have lost control of device.

Having the same problem, and please, anyone who is recommending to go to the Apple store this forum is to alleviate the trip (ie. any known fixes).

It started w/ my camera light coming on random and slight freezing. Today almost a brick, except for barely getting my podcasts. But same crazy behavior, screen freezing, jumping between apps, random typing, not able to open apps, FB post reposting 100's of times, etc.

PLEASE update when you can, as I am in the middle of nowhere w/ no apple store. I was able to remove all my important apps, ie banking etc. and started to change all pw's. Currently backing the phone up to do a restore. If anyone has a step by step b/u & restore that they can share that works, I would be really grateful.

Also, sorry to be a big downer, but I have taken the phone off of wifi & Verizon & set to airplane. This seemed to stabilize for a moment, but it appears as though there is some malware at work or something on the phone gleaning through data.

Thx!

For specific recommendations, please state the iOS and jailbreak versions installed on your phone.

Then you're going to have to arrange to have the phone sent in for service. It is almost certainly a hardware problem.

IOS9.1 no jailbreak, and again, I can figure out how to send it in or go to the store. This is to facilitate a solution outside. If it were hardware, it would be very hard to have duplicative issues happening on 2 unrelated devices. The likelihood of that is not high, unless it is a design flaw. As the new updates have been having numerous bugs and with the compromised security Apple Apps have experienced it seems as though those could be the drivers.

If you have no recommendations for fixing, great, I would like to hear back from gcrnojev

to see what his feedback was from the Apple Store. I can figure out how to get repairs thru Apple on my own, this is a forum for solutions or to determine if this is a wide spread issue.

Thank you to all for any help.

Yes, it's quite likely as the symptoms of a bad digitizer are the same on almost every device, just like the symptoms of bubonic plague are pretty much the same no matter who gets it.

Since the rest of us don't have this problem, there's no design flaw.

While it seems unlikely that "2 unrelated devices" owned by you were purchased with the same hardware defect, it's far more likely that the 2 devices were abused the same way, by the same owner - including hacking/jailbreaking - as the cause of that defect.

My read was that the two devices were the one belonging to the poster to whom you and I replied and the other to the OP.
