Hard Reset Question on 2G iPhone

Has anyone done a hard reset with totally skipping the "slide to power off"? It happened to me today.
My 2G iPhone was acting wierd and not letting me unlock. It was responding to me tapping on numbers, but the 4 spaces for the password were staying blank. So I did a hard reset (holding lock/home till apple logo appears). I was holding for like 8-10 secs, I then see fading horizontal lines, which then brings up the apple logo.
So 2 questions:
Has anyone skipped the "slide to power off"?
The fading horizontal lines, is this normal?

Yes, a "reset" of the iPhone is where you hold the sleep/wake and home buttons for ~10 seconds, ignoring the slide to power off prompt, and keep holding until the Apple logo appears. That's normal (and in fact, not a bad idea to do once in a while, as it clears out the caches and corrects problems with crashing apps).

  • Can i do a hard reset form pc to iphone?

    can i do a hard reset form pc to iphone? my phone won't sync to itunes. i get an error saying theres not enough space, and that it's over capacity. None of my apps work, and i just wanna back everything up on my pc and restore, obviously dumping unnecessary files. i have, however already deleted multiple apps and photos and it hasn't helped. it doesn't seem to want to do a hard reset either which i think would allow the device to recognize the free space.

    Hey, as far as I know you need a sim card to activate after a restore
    It however does not have to be a fully working sim card, just not blocked or with a pass code, I repair/refurb. some iPhones and can only advise to try and get a free sim card from a provider supported on your phone and activate it with this,  or maybe someone can lend you theirs for 5 mins?
    To clarify, I have heard there are ways around this, but they sound dubious.

  • Hard reset question....

    Does anyone know if you can do a hard reset without having to take out the battery?  I have a case on my BB that is a real pain to take apart to get to the battery.  I know when you remove an application it asks you to restart.  Didn't know if there was a place to make it restart.  Any info would be appreciated. 

    Try pressing at same time, the left alt key, the right caps key and the delete key. 
    If I help you with any inquire, thank you for click kudos in my post.
    If your issue has been solved, please mark the post was solved.

  • Hard Reset iPad 2 and iPhone 4s

    My estranged wife installed K9 web protection filter on my Ipad 2 (Verizon version) and iPhone 4s (Verizon). I do not know the passcode but need to reset both devices to factory default, wiping all data. I don't need to do any backups either. I tried via settings area but it requires a passcode, due to the K9 software.
    How can I still reset them both and work around this?

    Have you tried using the iTunes app on your computer? Connect the devices by their USB cables to the computer and have iTunes restore the device to the factory settings. It should totally erase the iPad and install the latest version of iOS for each device.

    SOLVED plugin to charger solved it - so problem was with contacts -- no idea why - phone is new - no water - no havy dust - usual using  
    hope will never return. Thanks

    We checked it with an iPhone 5 in house multiple times and could not reproduce this Problem. Must be something specific to your device. Maybe your speakerphone volume is turned down completely?

  • IPhone Passcode + Hard Reset

    Well I think I've found the answer to part of my question using search, but I wanted to double check with the brilliant minds of this board.
    I recently had my Iphone 3G stolen...very traumatic!
    I have an original first gen Iphone that I'd like to use while I dig up the cash to buy a 3GS. But the problem is I cant for the life of me remember my passcode on that phone.
    1. Can I put the phone into recovery mode by holding both buttons and simply lett it hard reset / wipe everything clean ? (Which is fine, cant imagine i would need anything off my 2 year old phone)
    And 2. Can I sync a first gen with my current iTunes and restore everything even though iTunes was currently setup syncing to a 3g ?

    It didnt work!! I even used the recovery to restore it and it says "cannot complete" because I dont have my passcode ? Any other ideas ?

    Notice the footnote markers by the links tothe carriers support sites (the superscript '3').
    The notation for that mark reads: "Technical support for iPhone in this region is provided by the carrier, not Apple."

  • My iPhone 4 died. I tried charging it for 3 hours; it wont hard reset or even show up on my computer or itunes. is there anything i can do?

    My iPhone 4 died. I tried charging it for 3 hours; it wont hard reset or even show up on my computer or itunes. is there anything i can do?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - 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.
      Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    You can also try going to Settings>General>Reset>Ease all content and Settings. However, you may not be able to restore via iTunes. You might only be able to only restore from iCloud backup if you have a hardware problem,

  • My iPhone 3gs will not turn on, charge, or allow me to perform a hard reset. iTunes nor my computer recognizes it andthe screen wont light up at all. What can I do to fix this?

    I have an iPhone 3gs that is out of warranty. I purchased this phone from AT&T. Last night my phoone went completely dead (battery percentage was at 96% just moments before) and now will not turn back on. I have tried just about everything I have found on discussion boards- trying hard reset, plugging into itunes, charging for15-20 mins then holding down sleep and homebuton..... NOTHING works. This phone will not light up AT ALL. My computer wont even recognize it. Is there anything else I can do?

    Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

    Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
    Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace
