This happened to me the other day, not during a call though. I had to turn the screen off and on again a couple times to get it to work.
 
This has just recently started happening to me too. but not just on the slide to answer. sometimes typing a SMS message. Periodic unresponsiveness all over the touchscreen ESP in the ipod app. im on 3.0 non jailbroke phone 3GS.
 
same here...

I got the same problem on my 3Gs that i recieved from t-mobile. Is there any solution to this problem? The iphone sometimes just won't react - so have to push power button so it works again (lock/unlock). Not sure if restore would help.
 
😕

It also happens to me sometimes as well... happened yesterday as a matter of fact.


There are countries in the world other than the US. In some of those "other countries" T-Mobile is the carrier for the iPhone.

I hope I didn't just blow your mind, if so ... I'll send sani-wipes to help clean up the mess.
 
I prefer to use a little WD30 on mine when it sticks, but that is my personal choice...LOL

No Seriously I have that issue when I try to slide the slider too quickly but I use the screen cleaner and I find it works better, sometimes it happens when oil from your finger builds up or that is what it seems to me.
