After update to ios 7  my 4s gets stuck in lock screen

Every now and then my iphone 4s gets stuck in lock screen, I can't slide to unlock. The only way to solve the problem is to switch off and then on the iphone and then it works again.
Any clues?

Hi zzcool,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
To address this issue, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:
iPhone User Guide for iOS 7

    What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
    Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. For complete instructions, read how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.

    Hi bhagath1339,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    The first troubleshooting steps I would recommend in this situation would be restarting and if the issue continues, resetting the iPhone.
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue continues after restarting and resetting, it may be necessary to restore your iPhone to isolate software versus hardware. Please follow the attached article if you need assistance restoring the device.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • After updating the ios 7.0.4 getting battery performance issue

    I just did the update on last day and after I unplugged from charging overnight my battery drained over 19% in a 2 hours on standby!!!!
    Even i had everything turned off like wi-fi,cellular data, background app refresh etc...but the result is same.I am not happy with this now.
    I don't know without performing proper testing how they are releasing fixes.
    On 6.1.3 everything was ok , i want to go back with my earlier version only. can any one suggest me on this?

    I have followed the same tips earlier (After upgrade) but there is no result, especially i have noticed that only during night hours it looses charging, last list night after hard reset i have kept the charging of 100%  arround at 11:00pm  and again i have checked on next day morning arround at 6:00am  it shows  25% only.
    In just earlier release 7.0.3 i dont face these kind of problem. Once i  did complete charging  easily i can use the phone 2 days. i am waiting for next release may be that resolves my issue.

  • My I phone 4s wont start correctly. I turned on audio reader and it just gets stuck on lovk screen and i cant enter my phone

    I starrteaudio reader and mi phone wont start it just gets stuck on lock screen and is slow

    Hey tessatony,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that your iPhone 4s is not functioning properly, and that you wish to try to make a backup before troubleshooting. From the information you have provided, it sounds like the device is indeed turning on and responding when plugged in, however the display is not lighting up. Have you attempted to plug the iPhone into a computer with iTunes? If iTunes recognizes the phone, you can attempt to back it up:
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
    Afterwards, attempt to restart and/or reset the phone:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If your issue persists, your iPhone may need to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process. Included, you will find information on topics such as warranty, service pricing, and express replacement service.

  • How do i get my photos back, if I didn't back up my iPhone 5 and now its in recovery mode after updating to iOS 8.0.2?

    How do i get my photos back, if I didn't back up my iPhone 5 and now its in recovery mode after updating from iOS 8.0.1 to iOS 8.0.2?

    In you case, the only way is to use data recovery app to get back your lost photos, so the chance is uncertain. It depends on how smart the app it's. The good news is that most of the apps allow you to try them out. You can test them out by yourself. The steps are:
    Install data recovery app on your computer
    connect your iPhone and allow the app scan iphone
    display scanning result
    choose local folder to store recovered items
    You can choose to recover your photos from local disk, iTunes backup or icloud.  More details can be found out here.

  • After updating to iOS 7 the contact photos no longer appear when I receive a call. How can I get them to show again?

    After updating to iOS 7 the contact photos no longer appear when I receive a call. How can I get them to show again?

    I'm having the identical problem on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 7--no ability to update apps or download new apps.  Here is what Apple tech support emailed to me:
    I understand that you are unable to download or update applications after updating iOS7 on your iTunes. I know you must be eager to get this resolved and I will be happy to help you today.
    ... to help you better with this issue I would request you to please try this steps given below to resolve your issue.
    Please follow this steps:
    1) Double tap the home button
    2) Hold down on an icon
    3) Tap the red "X" on iTunes, and the App Store.
    4) Tap Settings > Store > Tap your Apple ID, and choose sign out
    5) Tap Settings
    6) Tap General
    7) Tap Reset
    8) Tap Network Settings
    Once it has been closed with multi-tasking, and you have rebooted the device in the network settings reset, please sign in, and try again. 
      Howevr, if you are facing the same issue than for this issue, you may need to call our AppleCare technical support team. A technical Advisor will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support. The technical Advisor can also assist you in determining what option might be most helpful to you in this case.
    Mildly amusing that the instructions for force-closing a program are the IOS 6 instructions, which do not work on IOS 7. 
    Otherwise I'm having a little success with this.  Some apps (not all) are updating. It seems that a few more apps update each time I go through the process (close everything, sign out, and either reset or reboot, then go to the app store, sign in and try to update all).  So far it has been a very lengthy, iterative process. 

  • After updating to iOS 8 the iPad Air is getting crashed frequently including safari

    After updating to iOS 8 the iPad Air is getting crashed frequently including safari.

    Have you tried to reset it? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and see if that helps.
    You may need to restore your iPad. That's where you back it up, then restore it to factory defaults, then put your backup back on so you don't lose any data. Sometimes a fresh start clears out any glitches and can help.

    my iphone 5 has restored to an old backup after updating to ios 7 is there any way of getting my stuff back as this has now become the most recent back up?
    also since the update it keeps resetting itself? i had a lot of stuff on there that i really wanted and alot of important info lost? please help!!

    You might be able to remove the recent backup from the backups folder and the old one should be usable at that point
    USE EXTREAME CAUTION WHEN ACCESS THE FILES AND DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Note: The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, Option-click the Go menu.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.

  • After updating to IOS 7.1 my us holidays doubled in my calendar.  How do I get rid of one of them?

    After updating to IOS 7.1 my us holidays doubled in my calendar.  How do I get rid of one of them?

    You probably figured it out by now!  But if someone else is wondering...
    Open the icalendar app up and click on the word Calendar (bottom of page).  A box pops up called 'Show Calendars', scroll to the bottom of the page to 'Other' and uncheck US Holidays.  The next time you sync your ipad from your iMac, it will only copy US holidays from your computer calendar.
