Dropped phone causes graphics to disappear

Just this morning I fumbled the iPhone and dropped it 3 feet to the floor. All graphics immediately shut off. Sound still works as I can hear messages come in and when I called the number from my land line, the phone still rings.
I have an Otter phone cover with a nice rubber bumper, but evidently not enough to prevent this small jolt.
Are there any tricks to bring the screen back up or will I have to send the phone in?
Thank You,
Bob

A hard boot, holding down the power button along with the Home button for 10 seconds, brought the screen back to life.
Thanks to any who read the thread and were about to help.

It seems my "passed" events in my calendar are not on my iphone anymore...Is there a setting I have changed that caused them to disappear? They do still appear on my Outlook calendar on my pc? How can I get them to show up on my iphone again?

Events that are in the past do not appear on my calnedar on my iphone. Have I possibly changed a setting that caused them to disappear? Can I get them back on my iphone as they do still appear on my Outlook calendar on my PC?

Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendars> in Calendar section change the Sync setting.

HELP! Does anyone know a "Data Recovery Expert" for I-Phone? - My calender disappeared during transfer of data from my old I-Phone 4 to my new I-Phone 5s. It was on both I-Phones then vanished. (It was evidently not syncing during back-ups on the laptop)

What calendar were you syning to? Outlook? Google? Something else? The directions on how to resync vary a bit.

In the past month or so my iPhone 5 battery is dying in hours, whereas it used to last all day at least. Also, I am getting constant "message send failures" when texting and frequent dropped phone calls.

Just recently my Iphone 5 battery is dying in a just a few hours, it used to last all day or more. I'm not doing anything different with it, although I have started shutting down apps etc. to conserve battery. I get constant "message send failures and frequently dropped phone calls.

My best bet would be to restore the phone. Back it up to itunes, and then reset it Factory settings. This way, any corrupt software will be removed, and you can start fresh. Make sure you back it up first. By the sounds of it, you are using the phone for business and probably need the data from it. Hope this helps!

My new phone will not register my new apple id.. it will only pick up my old id, and I cant do anything to my new phone cause it keeps asking for the password to the old id!

how do get my new phone to register my new apple id when it keeps coming up with old id, but i can reset anything off the old id, cant even restore the phone cause it keeps using the old id!

All content bought using an Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
If you want only to use the new Apple ID, you need to delete all apps, music & books with the old Apple ID and repurchase with the new Apple ID.

Dropped phone in water. Worked. Then needs to be restored? Restored but same message comes up?

Your iPhone is most likely fried - out of warranty replacement on iPhone 4
is $149 US.
Try putting your iPhone in a bag of uncooked rice for 5 days to draw out
the moisture. It may work temporarily, but long term you are looking at
replacing the iPhone or upgrading to a newer model.

I sold an iPhone 4 and the person i sold it to says he can't setup the phone cause it's still registered to me. How do i fix this?

Go into iCloud on your computer and turn off Find My iPhone for the one you sold.

Dropped phone in coffee, turns on but sticks on the i tunes icon. Restore won't complete because of error 29. Any ideas?

dropped phone in coffee, turns on but sticks on the i tunes icon. Restore won't complete because of error 29. Any ideas?

After being submerged in coffee, did you power the iPhone off right away and if so, how long did it remain off to be completely dry - for the interior, not exterior?
Did the coffee include cream and sugar? Electronics and moisture don't mix especially with moisture that includes sugar.
Regardless, sounds like there is some hardware damage especially if not powered off and allowed to dry with the interior before being powered back on.

Dropped phone - where do I go from here?

Dropped phone- issues as a result include the following: no mic, does not ring, home button does nothing, and won't charge. How do I proceed? There is no apparent physical damages. Is there a component that may have failed or come unpluuger which controls all the functions listed?

Where do you go from here? Well, if I were you, I'd go to Apple with my broken phone and ask for an out of warranty exchange for $149. Either that or consider purchasing another phone.

Dropped phone in water, trying to dry it out, what is the best way?

Dropped phone in bath water, what is the best way to drt it out and maybe save it?

Agreed. Mine went through the washer and appeared dead. These steps saved it but you must be patient and let it stay in the rice for the week. Very hard to do! Mine was fine functionally after that though the screen was blotched. The screen blotching cleared up after a week and then good as new!
Good luck!

Dropped phone in water. Seems to be working. Should I do anything?

In addition to what gdgmacguy said, be sure to regularly back up and sync
so when the coming failure does happen, you will have your data saved
and can put it onto your new iPhone.

Centro - Calendar causes reboot, phone causes reboot cycle, contacts gone

I've had issues with my centro getting into a reboot cycle in the past, but it has usually spontaneously resolved itself eventually. This time it's a bit worse:
-turning on the phone causes it to reboot, usually right after it pops up a message asking whether to copy info from the sim card
-starting Calendar causes it to reboot
-all the contacts are gone
Doing a soft reset (many times) did not help. Any assistance is much appreciated!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I was able to resolve the problem by doing the following:
-hotsynced
-checked that all the data was in fact present in palm desktop
-hard reset device, erasing all data on it
-hotsynced, with desktop overwrites device
Most likely it was corruption of the databases on the device, though not badly enough to prevent hotsync from getting the data, and erasing and rewriting them onto the device fixed the issue.

Cell Phone Causes Lenovo S10 to Reboot

I left my Nokia E71 on the Lenovo S10's keyboard only to turn around to see it had randomly rebooted. Further investigation showed it can be easily recreated on the S10 while the IBM X60 Tablet did great.
Youtube video of reboot:

I had this problem too. Specifically a Dlink router (WBR-1310) and a Lenovo laptop (Y530) running Vista Home (32-bit). It would show that my laptop connected to the network, then a few seconds later the connection would be down and it would continuously connect/disconnect. My other system that was connected just fine through the router (running Windows 7) would get kicked off the network. Connecting the Vista laptop directly to the cable modem, though, would work just fine.
Found this post, and it worked for me. http://www.justanswer.com/questions/1wau3-bought-lenovo-laptop-y430
Just go into your Dlink configuration's Advanced tab, then the Advanced Network sub-tab. Uncheck the UPnP (universal plug and play), save the settings, and let the router reboot.
Now both my systems (Vista and Windows 7) are happy and connected through the router.
