Got my iPhone for 3 mths now.. dis morning woke up to find out that the whole home page was magnified.. and the screen only show the top right quarter of the usual page.. tried using finger to slide down n left.. but it just wouldnt move!!

 

Tap on one of the apps also showing magnified and top right hand quarter!! Tried power off and on.. also couldnt rectify.. But when use finger slide hard the page was able to move to the direction I wanted it to.. Once let go it's back to the same. I slided and pushed hard in attempt to go to the Settings.. and managed to select Rest All.. After that the screen was back to normal again..

 

Anyone ever encountered such? Wondering what went wrong..

If yours is the iPhone 3GS, you have activated the zoom function. Tap with 3 fingers together it will zoom and un-zoom the home page.

 

To disable zoom, go to Settings --> General --> Accessibility -->Zoom (off it)

 

Hope the above is helpful.

Thanks bro.. understand what u meant.. but didnt seem to be the zoom problem.. Usually the page with all the apps cannot be zoomed right? My problem was that it was zoomed to 4 times bigger.. and got hanged at the top right hand quarter of the page with the apps.. meaning only saw some apps which are the ones at the top right hand quarter.. I did try to tap to reduce.. also pinch to reduce.. didnt work..

Somehow Zoom was turned on. You'll need to get back to Settings -> General -> Accessibility- Zoom to turn off.

 

To get there, you need to figure out how to navigate while Zoom is turned on:

 

To zoom : Double-tap with 3 fingers

To move around the screen: Drag 3 finers while zoomed

To change zoom: Double tap and drag 3 fingers up or down

 

Dun ask me why 3 fingers and not 1 middle finger... hehehe!

Probably a software glitch...

 

Tried hardware reset?

1. With iPhone screen facing you

2. Press Top right button together with the Home button until the screen blank out

3. Wait until you see the Apple logo then release all the buttons

4. Wait for the phone to boot up

bro main page also can zoom.

 

i kenna this also when sleeping, woke up off alarm and anyhow grabbed my phone and it zoomed...

 

panic and searched online then realised it is a function

 

it is not a glitch. u can try it now again on ur main page. u just need to double again with 3 fingers to get in or out of the zoom.

hard reset is the last resort, which if still cannot, better do a one-for-one exchange
