Why is screen freezing in an enlarged state?

History

My main screen is freezing and it has somehow enlarged to almost 5 or 6 times it's size. I have turned it completely off and it comes back on looking normal for a second, and then returns to the enlarged state and it is completely frozen.

Try this.

Double tap the screen with three fingers simultaneously and it should go back to normal. Three finger tap is zoom functionality of iPhone 3G-S added feature

Guide

Page 189 - Zoom

Turn Zoom on or off:

In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > Zoom and tap the Zoom On/Off switch.

The frozen status was happening to my phone too often. I stopped in Best Buy and asked them but, they had never heard of it. I read your answer and just tried it. I must say it worked!!! I love my iPhone and now I know what to do when it happens again. Thanks for your help.

Madalene,

Thank you! I was going crazy not able to figure out what was wrong, everything was frozen, and jumping around whenever I tapped the screen, and thought I'd have to go to the Apple Store, where there is always a long line! Why does this happen to the phone? The 3 finger tap worked for me!

I had to restore my phone and load from backup.
