The iPhone created a big following among cell phone fanatics. As soon as the iPhone was made available in the market, it was instantly swipe off the store shelves. It is the most sought after cell phone because you can use it as a media player and a pocket PC. And just when you thought that you have the perfect cell phone- you suddenly realize that it is not. More and more iPhone users are complaining about the iPhone's touch screen dysfunctions.
One of the most loved features of the iPhone is its touch screen display and its user interface. You simply have to maneuver your fingers through the iPhone to input commands to this gadget. It’s a real convenient way of navigating through your phone– but not until you realize that there is a dead spot on your iPhone's touch screen.

A lot of people are complaining about their iPhone's dead spot. These are areas on your screen that cannot recognize and respond to the touch of your finger. It is usually not a big area, just about a half inch strip that runs vertically on your iPhone.

One of the bigger problem happens when a dead spot runs where your unlock button is. If this is the case, you would not be able to answer incoming calls. Some users report that they cannot hit on the Send button for text messages, numeric keypads and some other functions.

To solve the issue, some users try upgrading their iPhone firmware, but unfortunately, this cannot fix the problem. It is more of a hardware issue than it is about the iPhone's internal system. Resetting the phone cannot solve the problem either. Apple Inc, makers of the iPhone, is yet to comment on this particular complaint.

If you have a similar issue with your iPhone, you can head to an Apple store and you might possibly get a replacement phone while you have your iPhone repaired. Be prepared to pay for a loaning fee for your replacement phone that may cost you around $30.
