Can't "Slide" ANYTHING!

[TLP31]

I seem to have lost the ability to "slide" on my 4Gb iPhone. I can't unlock it. I can't answer a call. I can't even get to the voicemail left by the caller I missed, because it requires that I "SLIDE"!

My phone is fully charged and, yes, I'm using my fingertip.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Time for a restart.

Press and hold the sleep button (top right) and the home button (middle front) together for 20 seconds or so, until the phone restarts and you see the Apple logo.

That should fix things I hope.

im having the same problem, i can't slide anything, the phone is locked and i cant do anything right now. i reset the phone multiple times, any ideas guys?

You did the full reset where you press the home and power buttons together?

You have to do both if you want a full reset.
