Why won't my touchscreen on my iPhone 3GS work?

Why won't my touchscreen on my iPhone 3GS work?
Ok, really weird stuff going on with my phone. I have an iPhone 3GS (will soon be getting the 4G, but in the meantime I gotta deal with this one). And it's super awesome, wait let me rephrase that "it WAS super awesome". Now, not so much. It flippin' hackin' acts up ALOT! The screen just randomly decides to not work, at all. It won't let me unlock it, click on apps, mute, put on speaker, slide to turn off, NOTHING! Not even the left side of it works when it gets in this "mode". And there's no pattern either, just randomly acts up and randomly fixes itself. I tried turning it off by pressing and holding the lock key and home key at the same time and then started to freak out because it looked like it wasn't shutting off correctly (but I got over it), and it turned off. Then I turned it back on and it didn't even help it. But I do have to admit, I did get a little pissed and threw it on the table a little too aggressively, and that's when I really noticed it happening (but it did happen before that, just not as badly). OMG! I just had an idea of hitting it on the counter to try and reverse it… WHOA! It worked, how funny. Well, I still wanna post this because in case this happens again and the banging doesn't fix it again, I want to know a different solution.

You phone need a software update. Check your software version.

  • Why won't my iPhone earbuds work on my iPhone but work fine on a computer? So I have the worst luck with earbuds and it happens to be reoccurring. I have a normal iPhone 5 and I enjoy music but when I listen to my songs only one earbud will work while the other one is dead. I can go on my computer and they will both work so I was wondering why they both won't work on my phone?
  • Why won't my earpods work with my iphone 3gs? The audio is great, but neither the volume up/down features or the ones that can switch songs function at all… Why? Is it simply not compatible with the iphone 3gs? Or am i not doing something?
  • Why will my iphone touchscreen work only sometimes? I've tried resetting it that didn't help.shut it off and turned it back on that didn't help either. I can slide it to unlock it but then i can't select any icons or do anything.sometimes it will work fine for a few minutes then it won't do anything. Is there anything else i can do without taking it to a repair shop or getting a new phone?
  • My iphone touchscreen doesn't work so how do I transfer contacts? I iphone 4s screen cracked so now I can no longer unlock it but I really need some of my contacts. I tried connecting it to itunes them transferring them to my computer but when I did that the contacts I were looking for weren't there only some of them transfered. What do I do? If I take it to the verizon store could they get All my contacts? Should I just fix the screen then get them?
