Centro will not Power Off - Verizon

My Centro will not power down. Push red button and screen comes right back on.  Only way to stop it is to remove the battery.  Battery dies very quickly when this problem occurs.  Happens about once a day.  Verizon replaced phone about 2 wks ago for the same problem.  Up dated software.  This does not mean I want to shut off the phone part, the calendar etc will not go off.  Screen stays lit.  Any help will be appreciated.

Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • My iphone will not power off

    My Iphone 4s will not power off and the battery is draining with a couple of hours ? Help please

    Try an iPhone reset first which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release. This is similar to a computer restart.
    Try powering the iPhone off again after doing so.

  • IPhone Will Not Power Off or Go Into Silent Mode

    Yesterday I discovered that I had my phone switch flipped to Silent Mode, and my phone was still making the General Sounds and Still Ringing. No matter what I do I can't get it to Vibrate instead of ring.
    Also it will not power off, no matter how long I hold the button nothing happens, it wont even lock. I tried performing a hard rest by holding the Home Key & Power Button, but instead of reseting the Voice Control pops up and my iPod starts playing.
    Any Help Is Greatly Appreciated ♥

    - Try another cable.
    - Try on another computer
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My iPhone will not power off. It automatically turns back on after trying to shut it off. Any Ideas?

    My iPhone 5 will not power off. I hold the power button down and it lets me turn it off but then it automatically turns back on. It is as if I am just restarting it. Any ideas on how to fix it? I already had it exchanged and the replacement is now doing it.

    I had this same problem about a year ago. It is most likely because debris has been caught in the cable connector. Get a cotton bud or something soft so that you don't cause any damage, and gently clean the inside of the dock connector of your phone. Do not use any liquids. Hope this helps.

  • HT1349 Phone will not power off or take picture

    My iPhone will not power off.

    Try to reset it: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignoring the off slider that appears first), then release.  If it won't reset just let the battery run down until it turns off, then recharge it.

  • My iPad will not power off

    I have a 32GB iPad 1st Gen. It sits with a pinwheel rotating, but will not power off. When I tried connecting it to iTunes, it says there is an unknown problem connecting this iPad. What Can I do?

    I'm sure you've tried the hard reset using the home and power button?  If that won't work, next check your cables.  If you own a iPod, or iPhone and have mixed up the sync cables, that can sometimes cause an issue depending on how old they are.  If that doesn't work, I'd try a different computer with iTunes on it, if you have it, or a buddy to see if it recognized then.
    Let us know how it goes.

  • HT201412 My ipad mini will not power off. The ICloud Backup  reminder is stuck on the screen and will not clear off.

    My ipad mini will not power off, nor will it respond to any commands.  The ICloud Backup reminder (which I do not use and have not activated)is stuck on the screen and will not clear.

    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds and see if you can get it to reboot.

  • IPhone will not power off, app will not change , two screens display at one time

    Hello, I have a phone that is stuck on one app. Can hold the off button for 3 minutes and will not turn off. Will hold the lower button to change app's and nothing. Can change subjects in the app stuck in and can see both screens while scrolling. Going to let the phone run out of power to see if that will help, but very inconveinent

    I seem to have found the answer by my own foolishness....
    I held down the on/off button on top and the "belly button" on the front bottom and whoosh! it came back to life.
    It would sure be nice if Apple would restore the Troubleshooting area of their website and include information like this so Luddites like myself could keep a lower blood pressure....

  • My iphone is frozen. will not power off or respond even after charging.

    My iPhone is Frozen. Does not power off as well. What can be done to fix this?

    Try a soft reset, press and hold in the homescreen key (Circle button at bottom of the iPhone) and power key (One that locks the screen as well as turns it off and on) at the top, together and hold it till the screen shows the Apple logo, then release the keys, this should hopefully resolve.
    Let us know how it goes.

  • My ipod touch will not power off

    After I updated the version of iTunes, I cannot power off the iPod touch (4th gen).  I manually reset it (through the settings/general/reset).  It will NOT allow me to reset by holding power and bottom button.  When I hold those two simultaneously, it turns on voice control. 

    - Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
