After updating my IOS to 6, I cannot get my phone to shut off and stay off.  I turn it off and it comes right back on.  Is anyone else having this problem?

After updating my Iphone 4S to the newest operating system, I cannot get my phone to stay off when I turn it off.  Has anybody got any ideas what to do?

Hello purplechemist,
I would be concerned too if my iPhone was not turning off.  I'm not sure if you have tried this, but I recommend first trying to reset your iPhone:
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can find the full article here:

If the issue persists after the reset, I recommend restoring your iPhone.  You can find steps for backing up and restoring your iPhone in the following links:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,
