    Hello All. For some reason my iphone seems to "lag" or has a delayed response or does not respond correctly when I press something on this screen. Does not matter which app.

    Sample:

    When texting, when I press a letter it does not do anything so I press it again and again still no response. after about a few seconds it does but inputs the wrong letter or presses and holds that letter to show the alternate character.

    When closing apps. You swipe up it swipes down. After using the phone it opens up one app that I did not press.

    Scrolling for pictures. I scroll up it scrolls down and vice versa.

    In FB, same thing happens with the scrolling, i scroll up it scrolls down and when i force it to scroll up or down it would open up a pic since it "thinks" that I double clicked on that pic.


    Any idea on how to fix this? It happens randomly.

    ^aside from that, are you using your phone while charging when these happens or all the time? I encountered these when I'm charging my phone.

    But that's right, try first to turn it off and on.

    @zell Do you have LTE enabled? If so, try to turn it off. I've had this happen to me when i was using an iPhone 5 with an LTE connection, but only in certain locations.

    Hi guys. No more screen protector. I removed it since I thought that was the issue. As for turning it on and off, tried it so many times and it still comes back. Charging or not it happens. Have not noticed the 'LTE' thing though. I'll observe in the next 2 days to see how it goes. Thanks guys!

    I have the same issue when LTE is turned on in certain locations. I think its happening if the LTE signal is not that good, so I simply turn LTE off.

    I experience this when my storage is almost full. Roughly around 4gb left on a 64gb unit.

    Thanks! I fixed mine already. I noticed that it occurs only when I charge and I am currently using a 10w charger. When I used the 5w charger it did not happen again.

    Hi Folks. My mom's Iphone 5 slider button in the screen suddenly stopped working. I tried doing a reset but it's still not working. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
