I am having trouble to restart my iphone 4, I have tried to Press and hold the sleep/wake button and the home button for more than one minute, but it is not doing anything. It is at full battery because I just finished charging it. I have called my phone from home phone, it is not responding on iphone but I can hear ringing from home phone and it went into voicemail after a while. My iphone is frozen. It is frozen during updating to the new software but disconnected from computer by accident. Right now it is not doing anything it is just a black screen.

Phone was working fine, then started to not go to sleep when I pressed the power button. It also frequently posts a message informing me about how to restart the phone using the power and volume buttons. It only goes away if I press the volume up or down.
How to prevent it. I tried a hard reset but have had no success with it.
Have just updated to lollipop on my Z2. But now the phone's backlight stays on unless I press the power button. Sleep mode is set to 30 seconds.

My iphone 5 was fully charged when it suddenly turned off.
I googled the problem and found many responses that suggested to reset the phone by holding onto the sleep/wake button and the home button for 15 seconds ...
however as my sleep/wake button is broken I can't reset it that way ...
I also tried plugging it into the charger which didnt work ...
My iPhone 6 sometimes (very rare) does not wake from sleep when pressing either the sleep button nor home button.

I have big problem with my iPhone 2G. My power/sleep button is not working so only way I can turn it on is to plug it to computer or charge it, but today it won't start or do anything.

my phone does not turn off after pressing sleep and home botton. says "could not turn off device"
View 2 Replies View RelatedRecently updated my iPhone 4 to ios 7.1.2. Currently my worst problem: instead of going into sleep mode, the phone turns off completely. I then cannot turn the phone back on with the sleep/wake button. To turn the phone back on, I need to do a hard reboot each time by holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously. I have tried going into settings/general/reset and selecting "reset all".

I updated to 2.1 a while ago, but today I plugged it up to the computer and it said there was an update available. So I updated, and now my phone will not turn on. When I press the power button, the light just flashes red 3 times. I can do anything with it on the computer, becuase the computer won't recognize it while it's off.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an iPhone 4S with ios 5.1 Whenever I press the home button twice to close some app or something, the phone restarts. There was this same problem yesterday and then automatically it got normal. Before that ,once with this issue I did a recallibration ( opening an app and then pressing and holding the lock button until the switch off slide appears and then holding the home button until I am back on the home screen) which solved my problem. This has happened many times with this phone , even when it was running on iOS 5.0.1.

If I run my finger over my sleep wake button it makes a clicky type noise. I've seen this in other devices that use metal, just wanted to know if I was alone on this one!?
Not complaining, just wanting to see if this is normal. Thanks in advance!
A couple of months ago I was using my iPhone in my room normally. I locked it and put it on my bedside table, when I went back to it I found that my sleep button was very hard to press. I figured it might be temporary and have waited until now. It is now completely unresponsive and I can no longer press it at all. Both of the water damage indicators are white from what I can see and the actual device has very minimal damage from regular use.

So recently my iPhone 4 lock button is getting really hard to use. It's not stuck but i have to use all my force to press it. I want to go to the apple store but I already have had my phone replaced once for free under the 1 year warranty. What will the apple store do? Will I be charged?

Does anyone else have this "problem"? The power button feels loose and when you shake the phone you can hear it rattling. Is there any way it could be fixed? To make it more firm?
View 4 Replies View RelatedOk, so this is probably the worst combination of things to occur. If you don't care about reading the story I'm looking for a way to put my phone into DFU mode without the sleep/wake button. If there is a way to do this please let me know - if you want to know why I need to do this, read below... Thanks.
Last week my sleep wake button mysteriously stopped working. For a time it would work with every 5th or 6th press, but now it doesn't work at all. So for the past week I've had to forgo the use of the sleep/wake button, which means that when I'm done using my phone I had to put it into my pocket and hope I didn't hit anything until it shut itself off.
It's been manageable, but I have dreaded the day that my iPhone froze or anything, because I have effectively no way to restart the the device. Turns out that day was this evening - it froze while I was in Gmail, and I was unable to do anything. Home button was non-responsive - basically the whole OS locked up. Now obviously if I had a working sleep/wake button I could have probably held down both that and the home screen and forced the iPhone to restart - clearly I don't have that option in this case...
Worse yet, I decided to try to fix my sleep/wake button, so I took my phone apart. I wasn't able to really figure out what was going on with the sleep/wake button, and while I had the case cracked open it died. Once I got everything plugged in again, the phone turned back on, and sat at the Apple logo screen for a long time, after which it superimposed a spinning wheel over top of the logo. Truth be told, I don't think that disconnecting the screen had anything to do with the spinning wheel, I think it's a result of the OS completely locking up (the likes of which I've never seen the iPhone do before... so something in the OS must have become corrupted... at least that's my theory anyway).
It has been/continues to be stuck in this loop. I'm not sure whether letting the device die and naturally resetting itself will do the trick. I'm leaning towards the idea that it probably won't help the situation. I have not yet tried to do a restore, because I'm worried that it won't work, and then I'll lose my backup as well.
So yah... does anyone know how to force the iPhone into DFU mode without the sleep/wake button?
Is anyone's sleep/wake button a little loose/wiggley? Same with the volume buttons. When I'm handling the phone I can hear it moving, it sounds and feels cheap I just want to know if everyone's is like this?
I am using a bumper as of yesterday, maybe I'm just now noticing it.
