We need to know in what ways it's acting weird in order to determine the cause.

It's not doing what I wanted it to do, when I pressed something the screen can move down, I don't know how to explain it.

I recommend to take it to the Apple store, where one of their "genius'" can take a look at it.
Does not sound like a battery issue, but you are not giving us much information to work on.
Fun fact: the battery cannot be replaced since it is soldered on to board. If it is indeed the battery the whole phone needs to be replaced.

iPhone 6/6+ ?

Quote:
a growing percentage of iPhone 6+ are losing one of their most basic functions in droves---flickering gray lines and loss of touch function. We know that this problem is due to flexion of the logic board in the area of the touch ic.
Even iPhones that have touch ic's replaced have a chance of recurrence of the disease due to the inherent design flaw in the board.

Phone can start acting out when the RAM is too full. Touching icons, lock the phone, switch off button not working, rebooting/internet rebooting (by itself), impossible to access some functions. Maybe it's not the RAM, but it's worth checking. Saying that because it can look like a dead battery.

Touching icons, lock the phone, switch off button not working, rebooting/internet rebooting (by itself), these are happening to me. What is RAM? I think you right. Thanks.

RAM stands for Random Access Memory, basically it is dynamic memory that is used to run programs while your phone is on. You make sure that only one program is running at once. But also if you do not have enough hard drive space, you can also run into problems.

To turn off program that are in the background, press the big button at the bottom of the screen three times, then you should see the display can get where there are several windows aligned in a straight line, these are the programs currently opened (there will be far more opened than needs to be) to shut them down drag the window up and it should disappear upwards, do that until all the programs are removed, that would mean no programs are running in the background.
You also check your settings and see how much memory and storage your phone is using.
I still suggest going to an Apple store and having them look at it.

Above poster is right, if you don't know how to use these things at all, go see someone who can show you.

It often happens when you treat your phone like a computer :mrgreen: , phones aren't made to have 100 apps.
In settings you can reach your applications, and delete (clean) them. I don't know on iphones, but on my android you can see the state of the RAM in task manager. That said, it can be tricky, as the state of the RAM can "extend", showing more RAM than there actually is, you have the impression that you have enough of it! Of course it doesn't expend, and it becomes squeezed and so, unstable, just like the time and space continuum when my partner squeezes one out.
