I phone 5 has a mind of its own after update.
My i phone 5 takes pictures, turns itself on and off , opens apps and gives me a white screen after latest update. Until then it was working fine. Is anyone else having these problems?
iOS 9.2.1

Hello CRay02,
It appears your iOS update did not complete successfully. You may want to try the steps below to update, not restore your iOS software. Updating the software preserves your settings and content, but it's always a good idea to back up your device before making significant changes to it.
If you can‘t update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Put your device in recovery mode and set it up again
- Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. If you don't have a computer, borrow one from a friend or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for help.
- While your device is connected, force restart it: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home button for at least 10 seconds, and don't release when you see the Apple logo. Keep holding until you see the recovery mode screen.
- When you see the option to Restore or Update, choose Update. iTunes will try to reinstall iOS without erasing your data. Wait while iTunes downloads the software for your device.
If the download takes more than 15 minutes and your device exits recovery mode, you'll need to repeat these steps and choose Restore instead of Update when you get back to this step.
- After the Update or Restore completes, set up your device. If you previously backed up your device with iTunes or iCloud and had to restore your device in step 3, you might be able to restore from your backup during setup.

Contact Apple Support if you can’t update or restore your device with recovery mode, or you can't use recovery mode because of broken or stuck buttons.
