A bug in iOS 7 beta 2 makes the touch response not work below 20% battery

A quite major bug in iOS 7 beta 2 which affects the touch response of the screen, causing the device to do not respond to any type of action when it is in this state.

According to the person who has found this bug, when the autonomy is below 20% is when the error is reproduced, in addition, it details the instructions to follow so that we can test it ourselves with our iPhone:

  • Let the battery have less than 20% charge
  • Turn off iPhone
  • Turn on the iPhone and wait for the notification that there is less than 20% battery
  • Try to unlock the terminal

As you can appreciate, the system does not respond to any of the three available options. Try as I might, the iPhone won't unlock, the notification center doesn't appear, and the control center doesn't show any signs of life, therefore, there's no way to use the phone.

How can the bug be solved if we find ourselves in this situation? Enough with charge iPhone above 20% and the screen will respond normally again. Another option is to triple click on the Home button and press Cancel on the pop up that appears on the screen.

Other bug Apple needs to fix ahead of future builds of iOS 7.0 before it is officially released in the fall for all users.

    It happened to me last night, there was no way to unlock it, the screen did not respond, I thought something had messed up, I turned off and on several times and nothing, in the end I connected to iTunes and restored and it was solved, or so I thought, because after reading this article the only thing that happened is that the battery was charged, hehe, thanks, I'll stop next time.

    I also noticed this error and if you press the tribute button and before air and tell it to launch an application and then exit normally, the terminal will respond again.

    It has happened to me several times, what I do is open siri and tell it to open an application

    It has happened to me many times and I do what my colleagues say, open Siri to open an application

    The same thing happens to me and I better go back to iOS 6.1.4 since I get too stressed about the most glaring error that it has

    One solution is by calling Siri and ordering that there will be any app

    It has not happened to me because of the battery issue, today I have been handling it, almost exhausting it. But if the touch response blockage has passed me, with the battery above 20%, and even with more than 80%.

    Exactly what I did was install the beta 2 again (above) and today the control of the earpod does not work, (stop, play, pause, forward, rewind)

    This situation has already happened to me three times since I have beta 2 installed (with beta 1 it did not happen to me).

    The first time it happened to me I thought that the touch screen of my iPhone had died and the truth is that I had a hard time ... When I got home I put it to charge and it responded again (thank goodness), then I realized that it was beta problem.

    Supposedly tomorrow a new beta will come out, I will test it, but as they do not improve the fluency enough and correct the closure errors I will return to iOS 6.

    Now the keyboard starts to activate when I make / receive a call and I start dialing with my ear and I drive the person on the other side crazy. The truth is already tiring me THE BETA there are times when I think I'm on Android .. Although that's what BETA is for. Greetings

      I do not know what Android phone you have had, it would be a trick because what you have never happened to me with S3 and S2
      I have 4S and ipad2 and this Beta is a very fat Truño, I had to return to 6iOS

    Betas of 6 were going better at this point ... I'm not fucking liking it at all!

      ios 6 was the continuation of ios 5 and this one of ios 4, so there were not as substantial changes in the code or in the interface as ios 7, calm man, the betas are supposed to be for that

    This has not happened to me, using it normal with beta 2 and 10% battery, I have not done that to turn it off, but I confirm that if you are with the iPhone using it normal and you get the message of 20% because it continues to work without any problem until the battery runs out, greetings

    Another way to access the iPhone is to use Siri to open an application. Once inside, everything returns to normal ... I hope it works out for you!
