Touch Recognition Issue on iPhone 5, 5th Generation iPod Touch with Rapid Diagonal Swipes

[saberahul]

Not like it affects me but I can confirm this on my iPhone 5.

I dont understand, some of you guys have serious issues with touch on your phone? am i like the only one with a magical iphone that doesnt have touch issues? pinch to zoom works perfect on my phone, scrolling is buttery smooth, fast and accurate, and touch input does not lag ?

----------




you have to be trolling right now, if you bought a new iphone today the chance is very high that you wont encounter a problem with the phone

just bought the iphone5..

This phone is such a piece of crap I wish I could take it back.

 

[iGrip]

Does it make any sense simply to tell these yobknobs not to touch it like that?

Naw, that's too easy.

----------

No they do not.

Yes. They don't.

I may have to trade in my iPhone 4S, w/iOS 5, with an HP Pré 3 due to webOS...

Palm, I miss you!

Deleted message. (Not sure where the option is).

Yeah, but don't forget if you wait till January, capital gains goes from 15% to 20%. Hope the stock rises before December 31. I will sell with 15% gains tax.
PS: Obama's goal is capital gains at 40% by the end of his last term. Government will get almost half your cash. It has been at 40% many years ago.

I'm game to sell them, just not this low. Even $650 would suffice. But you're right. Damn it!

I am having the same problem on three iphone 5 16gb i have... hardware problem?

It could be a hardware issue, but wait for Apple to release the next update (6.1?) just in case it's a software issue.

Just discovered another hardware glitch.
Bought the new 12W charger to fast charge the phone.

It freezes the side swipe, causing presses only opening apps.

As soon as I unplug, swipe returns.

Even when I pass through a rechargeable battery, the charge goes through higher and causes the swipe to freeze.

Earlier before that my phone wouldn't wake. Will test that further.

The box and website does say the 12W charger is compatible with iPhone.

Tim?

Is your charger connected to a grounded outlet?
If not, find one and try again.

It was on a power strip/board at work.
Tried it at home and wasn't an issue.
Interesting nonetheless.

The sleep issue is still occurring.

lol

All this scrolling effort can be better used in other places...

Post-Jobs Apple are rushing out stuff that Steve would never have approved of or agreed on and are cashing in through greed and laziness.

Unless you are Steve Jobs you don't know what he would or wouldn't have approved. So drop that line.

As for the state of things, Jobs had his share of things coming out with bugs. It happens with tech no matter how many variations you try to test.

And Jobs would have very possibly approved of the iPad Mini as it is. The screen looks fine for 99% of the target audience and that is who would matter to him.

 

[charlituna]

I can't say I have this problem but another

When my phone is real cold, (its nakid and exposed to 30F degree weather, its hard for the touch screen to register input.. it takes multiple attempts. Texting is useless

Given that it is only spec'd to work at 32 degrees and above, I'm not shocked you have an issue

----------

I stop bitching about a phone once I've made the decision to purchase it. By waiting for the 5S to iron most things out, you'll know what you're getting with fewer surprises.

Not really. These 'flaws' will just be replaced with other ones

 

[a0me]

I think you should get one of these for your phone if you are worried about it getting scratched.

My iPhone 4 hasn't any scratch in 2 years of normal use.

 

[the8thark]

Where's the downvote button when you need it

Agreed. No way to tell a bad post it's bad.

99% was never good enough for Jobs. He was a perfectionist. Sure he did not always get 100%. But he sure aimed for it.

it only happens on mail on my iphone 5, safari and fruit ninja work fine

 

[Psychj0e]

I have this problem too. The touch pad keeps misreading my intentions when using the keyboard. At first I thought maybe it was a calibration issue, and the iPhone would learn where I touch when I am aiming for a specific key, but no, it's clearly a fault with the phone.

Guess that'll teach me for being an early adopter.

So what the video demonstrates is that if you rapidly stimulate the longer iPhone it will eventually reach a climax and become unresponsive. How is this unusual?

 

[charlituna]

I'm not sure if you're capable of having a conversation... It ****s up when I play these games all the time. It doesn't have to be continuous fast swiping. You obviously don't have any of these games.

So they do and the issue doesn't happen for them

But really that is moot. Return periods exist so if YOU are not happy with your purchase, regardless of how someone else feels, you can return it for your money or another product. So go get that 4s and enjoy

This happens all the time when i play infinity blade it is awful

 

[theanimaster]

I just played Fruit Ninja on my sister-in-law's iPhone 5 (darn she got hers before me) and I can't get it to "lose traction". I'll try Infinity Blade 2 as soon as it finishes downloading and installing.

BTW, Fruit Ninja is not optimised for iPhone 5. Letterboxed.

So this is actually a product of touching the edges of the phone while you do this... Try it and keep your finger within the range of the screen... it won't drop at all.

 

[adder7712]

I don't understand why would you have palm rejection on a phone. On tablets, it's understandable.

 

[neoark]

Did someone report this to apple?
