I have had this happen to me a couple of times. I will lock my phone (as I've always done since the original Iphone) and I will pull it out of my pocket and see that it's unlocked and an icon will be pushed. Is anyone else experiencing this?
My wife's iPhone 5 is unlocking itself in her pocket, even with the passcode enabled. This is annoying but even more so her power drops from 70% to 40% for the 2-3 hours she is not using it and leaving it in her pocket. Additionally her Safari icon will move from the docked area and be placed randomly on another page. I have reviewed the phones settings and she does have one of the Accessibility features turned on. I have read on other forums that iOS 6 may have a bug, which may cause the iPhone to unlock itself in pocket. The recommended fix is to disable all Accessibility features, if one still desires to carry the phone in the pocket. The other common suggestion was to ensure that screen is facing outwards.
This happened to me the past few months. Always unlock itself while in my pocket, and my iPhone in high temperature that I can feel it from my pocket. I never feel that warm ever I play games or talk on phone for long hours. And Also ever saw it active Siri when on the table.
Is it some app running operate behind it, exactly like you said, some app will random shuffle to other page or different location on the page. (At first , I thought my mistake that delete some useful app)
Is it someone hacking my phone or tracking my location?
I have exactly the same problem since spring of 2016. The phone starts app's like Vuze, the camera, and siri occasionally. it is in my pocket and I also feel the heat, which is why I noticed it and of course, the battery is drained significantly.
Though some say it is impossible, it is happening for many, so there is something wrong (we all know that it shouldn't occur, but the fact is that it is occurring).
PLease share more experiences and complain in various forums to gain some attention to this. The cycling of the battery is causing the battery to fail quicker than it should.
Hi, I've been having the same problem with my iPhone 5s for a few months now. Somehow the phone starts videoing in my jeans pocket. Sometimes it gets so hot I can't hold it. I have spoken to Apple and they suggest placing feedback via their official site at Feedback - iPhone - Apple . This way the issue gets to the right people and not just passed around forums.
Mine also does this in my jeans pocket and nowhere else. One suggestion has been that it may only happen because we put the phone into our pocket upside-down. I'm going to try putting g it in with the power button at the top and see what happens.
In the meantime please use the link above to get the word out to Apple.
