Weird Video of IPhone Calling on it's own

I don't know. How about people who automatically think the other person must be a liar and have an ulterior motive and cal them names and make fun of them, for starters. There are a lot of those types of folks around these days. You can even find them posting on ATS. Someone like that actually just posted in this thread, if you want to take a gander.

Could be a ghost hair, That is not my hair. My dogs are black, my driver's hair is...very curly grey, and I have another pic, same theme, only a roundish blob in the lower right corner against same stark white background.

But hey, I am happy to go with one fat hair!

a reply to: NewzNose

It could have been something else hair-like? I don't know. But it still looks really close to the screen. Can you post the blob picture too? You have me interested.

Oh, what if it's the antenna of a cockroach and it was triggering the picture as it strolled along your phone?

I'm waiting and fearing the day that we discover that this is true to all of us on ATS.

Well, they do not need any of that stuff to monitor me. I have only basic protection on my devices, nothing fancy enough to prevent the intelligence services and their patrons from getting access to my data anyway.

As I have said before and will likely as not say again, let them come for me if they will. God will show them mercy, but I will not.

Not being a d*ck, i promise, but i don't know what that has to do with what I wrote.

There was another post about phones yesterday. It's amazing to hear of people's experiences with their phones. I thought it was just me.

I've thrown one or two out the window, and one into a pool. It was getting to be an expensive habit. Now I just growl at my phone and tell it, that it has no idea how lucky it is!

But if it starts snapping pictures of me, that will be it's last sight. I'm way too ugly for selfies.

Going by the way certain letters repeat cvft, it looks like something underneath or on the touch screen. Perhaps condensation, dust or hair. It does seem to correlate with her moving the device around. If it were lots of fffff's and tilde characters that would be RS232 speed problems.If someone were hacking her phone, it would be more consistent.

This looks like it is a touchscreen related error that could have originated from a number of causes. From liquid damage, material like dust&sand getting inside the enclosure to external stress leading to deformation the casing.
From the video it is obvious the problem is caused by false inputs from the center of the touchscreen.
Whatever the cause, it is definitely not some external device like a bluetooth keyboard creating the input.

I repaired enough iPhones to know for a fact :
-Some ppl treat their smartphone like it is a undestructable piece of hardware when in reality it is ofcourse the opposite
-Apple has an image of quality not reflected by the components used in their devices. They use the same parts, made in china, used by all manufacturers

Touch screen glitch, easy as that. Was very localized, if it is only happening at her home it may be particulate under the digitizer on the screen from a manufacturing defect that is reacting with moisture in the air. She had said she was traveling and it didn't do it there, maybe the hotel had better HVAC and could better handle the moisture?

Have any of you played tricks on your neighbors byu printing a message on their wireless printers? Some of the wireless in my neighborhood appear to be unlocked, and Ive thought about it, but havnt done it.... yet. Sure would freak somebody out if you printed out something spooky on their printer..

With respect to the OP, please allow this slightly off topic reply. ...

I have the perfect message for you. I worked at the Computer Science Dept at Purdue back in the early 80's, before email, etc. The grads made me an honorary grad student because I was often working at midnight along with the rest of them.

One night, as I was leaving, pretty much alone in the place, I switched off my monitor, and as I was going out the door, it switched itself back on, started to beep, had flashes of lightning bolts throb on the screen...Then it flashed in large letters, "SUSAN!" (more beeps and bolts) and then it flashed, "I want you to build Me an ark!"

The bluetooth connections is on (see the symbol on the top right, left of the battery symbol).

Given that it happens only at home i would tend, like and14.. (member with the Louis de Funés picture) mentionend, that there is a bluetooth keyboard somewhere in her house.

Could be another bluetooth device which is not compatible.

Would be easy to find out: deactivate bluetooth, if stops it s a bluetooth connection.
If it does not stop it s obviously something else.



Since there is gps in the phone, it would be possible to program it a way that it only reacts random in a certain aerea (her house).

Its what you get for using an iphone.

Expect to be spied on.

If you cant take the battery out, its a microphone and camera just with a built in phone YOU TOO can use for added marketability

I'm not ruling out a hoax, but could she have downloaded an app without fully checking all the permissions?

I wanted to download a game from a reputable source (King-as in Candy Crush) on my phone. The permissions actually said that the app could cause my phone to make calls ON IT"S OWN. I said nope, nope, nope and I don't have Candy Crush on my phone.

My iPhone 6 does this alllllll the time. It has nothing to do with hackers or ghosts or anything. What it has to do with is because she is on LTE network and doesn't have a very good signal.

For some reason IPhone 6 will randomly glitch out whenever on a weak LTE signal, I don't know if it's something that has to do with the software or heat.

If she would just turn off LTE it wouldn't be pushing buttons anymore. PROBLEM SOLVED

That 4g lte plays murder with things around it also eg television boxes

a reply to: and14263

Yep, long forgotten bluetooth keyboard with a cat sleeping on it

a reply to: stonerwilliam

That it does!

Living at my old house was terrible because I knew every night I would be plagued with this issue due to having no signal there. It would be either use 1x service and wait a half an hour for a page to load or use LTE and battle my phone like it was the spawn of Satan. Either case would result in frustration and me wanting to throw my phone off the balcony.

It still happens to me on road trips where I'm in the middle of nowhere with one or two bars signal. I'm happy I'm now near a tower.
