A highly sensitive multitouch display is built into the iPhone, allowing it to recognize complex gestures, such as swipes, pinches and taps. However, if your display components are damaged, you might discover that your iPhone is no longer responsive to your slide commands, affecting your Slide to Unlock screen and On/Off sliding switches. Firmware glitches can also account for erratic display behaviors, which might be resolved with a hard reset or firmware restore. Restore your iPhone by clicking the “Summary” tab and selecting “Restore iPhone.” Select “Restore” to confirm, and wait for the process to complete. You can load your backup on the iPhone by clicking “Restore From Backup.” If you have an iCloud backup, sign onto your iCloud account during the device setup and tap “Restore From Backup.” Writer Bio
