I posted 3 short video clips of the issue in both landscape and portrait orientation since it changes which apps get opened. You can see them at

gallery . me . com / tlpwis (ignore spaces between words, dots and slashes - Sorry for the format, the formum won't let me post a URL because I don't have enough "points".)

PS...me network is completely secure, and this happened with or without any wifi or 3G enabled at all.


David, assuming your device is under warranty, goto Expresslane.Apple.com, create an incident and schedule a call-back appt. For me that worked great. They provided a repair number and all I had to do was take the device to the nearest UPS store. Apple will replace the device hopefully yet this week.

Here is the link. I am posting it for the benefit of others to try and help.
Looks to me like some kind of hardware problem. Like a keyboard getting stuck on a PC

Exact same problem I am having, I am working with Apple Support right now.

Total restore did not help.

Somethings to check. Do you have a screen protector on it? Have you tried cleaning the screen with a soft cloth and some form of approved solution - normal screen cleaner should be adequate?

just to give you a short recap.

I took my iPad to a local vendor and they were familiar with the problem.
It is a hardware problem, so they changed the device. The new one works like a charm.

And the problem with the WEP key I had with the old one (wasn't able to log in to few WiFis) vanished at the same time.
