Touch screen completely unresponsive (iOS 7 b2)

Low battery notifications are freezing behind process and causing the issue- seen it happen around the 20 and 10% notification mark-
any notification prompt can result in this bug. Had it several times with low battery, and apps asking for access to agenda, contacts, microphone, etc...
I just lock the phone and leave it be for a couple of minutes and then most of the time it works again and will focus back on the prompt.
The Siri trick doesn't always work for me...
Guess we'll have to live with it until beta 3 is released, the dangers of beta software

Yeah I got this problem these days and all I can do is plugging in my phone and WAIT until the battery is going up to 10% or 20% then everything goes fine again . Hope they can fix this in Beta 3.
Using SIRI to solve this problem is a nice try. I gonna test it later.
BTW how can I refuse a call in lock screen? iOS 6 I can simply scroll up then decline the call but now I can't find the bottom anywhere... I know I can double-click the Power to refuse it but sometimes it's just not convenient for me to do so.
Wow. If only I tried this. I'm currently waiting 40 minutes for it to restore my stuff from iCloud. Piece of crap beta
This is happening to me right now. Normally I've been using the Siri workaround but now Siri isn't working either. Any suggestions?
Ive had it happen to me a couple of times. I can restart it over and over and it'll still be unresponsive.
My way around it, use Siri to launch an app and it seems to resolve the problem. I wasn't able to unlock my phone for almost an hour, I was getting important texts I couldn't read haha.

Completely resolved this issue for me. Thank you for saving me the hassle of a reinstall.
If you don't have Siri on your device, just let the battery drain, then after you connect your device and turn back on the screen will work again,
Had this problem several times now in my iPhone 4

I have too been experiencing this. It is a major bug. The whole Siri thing doesn't work out exactly. It only works for me when and only my battery is at 10%...
But after that it works...

I'm having the same problem and I'm currently traveling overseas... so as you might imagine this is very frustrating for me (yes I know that I shouldn't have installed iOS 7).
I have airplane mode on so the siri trick wont work for me. The guy at the Apple store basically told me I was out of luck, as they cant help me since im using iOS 7. Any ideas?
Will recharging my phone work? Ive tried everything including a hard reset
I had the same issue on my iPhone 5. Had just disabled the data connection before this happened. The following steps worked for me. See if they work for you:
1. Keep the phone plugged in to your laptop.
2. Hard reset the phone by holding power and home till the phone turns off and turns back on.
As soon as I heard the USB-Connected notification sound from my laptop, I tried unlocking the screen and it worked fine. I had tried hard resets when I was away from my laptop and it hadn't worked.
All the best!
Just so everyone knows: This is a bug where you phone gets the "20%/10%" battery message when your phone is locked. The message pops up behind something, and then you can't close it -- leaving the screen unresponsive.
The 100% fix is to simply let your phone run out of batteries and charge it again.
But I'm guessing it's been fixed since Beta 3 any way.

Anyone else having this problem? I've tried hard resetting several times now but the touch screen still doesn't work.
The last time it worked was when I tried to hang up a call. The call became stuck so I killed the phone app from the multitasking UI. Springboard immediately restarted and when it came back, touch was no longer working.
Hope I won't have to wait till I get home to reinstall.
Sadness
Hi, I have fitted a few new screens to iphone 5 & 5c & recently did my son's 5c again. The screen powered up but was unresponsive. Took it apart 5 times & still wouldnt work. Phoned Apple who talked me through restoring to factory settings but still no luck. Now this is gonna sound crazy but last night I took it apart & blew into the disconnected logic board etc then replaced them & the screen became responsive. Ive now restored it to the last itunes backup & the phone is working perfectly! Sounds like it was dust or fluff inside the boards & that was affecting it. Not saying you have the same problem but after a week of trying everything & getting very frustrated (as I hate being beaten lol) Ive finally fixed it with a very simple thing.
