The screen is black . i can.t get it to respond.Power + home soft reset didnt work. Itunes could detect any sync apps. I used my home phone to call my iphone and on my home phone i can hear the calling tone.But my iphone didn't ring/screen did not light up. Its a iphone 4. Any ideas how to fix this?
If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

Echo on Verizon Wireless Home Phone Connect-Why? How to Correct?
Several months ago we switched from Verizon land line service to "Verizon Wireless Home Phone Connect". (4G Cellular). Up until a month or so ago all was good. Now we have a very strong ECHO on our end only (the person on the other end does not hear it) during many calls. Sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not. But we've not seen any pattern (time of day, etc.) Also, it always lasts for the entire call; does not come and go during a call.
This echo is so annoying that we hate to make or answer a phone call.
What is the cause of the echo? How can it be corrected?
Perhaps coincidentally, the signal strength has dropped from a consistent 3-4 bars to a consistent 1-2 bars. Can't help but wonder if there is a correlation.
If we cannot get this corrected we will go back to a land line; and NOT likely Verizon.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,YosefT_VZW, Thanks for your reply. To answer your questions:
1. Yes, the antennae if fully extended (and has not changed since installation).
2. This is not a land line and I have no land lines in the house. But it occurs with all connected extension phones (1 cordless set of 4, and 1 hard wired desk phone).
3. And, Adjusting the volume does not make any difference to the echo problem. -
I have an iPhone 4s. All of a sudden the slide to unlock button does not work. I cannot access the phone, answer phone calls, or do anything with the phone. Anyone have any ideas?
I was having a similar problem but only when answering calls. A reset seems to have fixed it. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If that doesn't do it you may need to contact Apple Care or take it in for repair. -
How can I get back into my phone if I cannot turn it off or unlock it?
Hold the lock and home buttons untill you see the apple logo. This is called a hard reset and is the equivilant of pulling the battery out and putting it back in.
Also if you have never set a voicemail pin the phone is asking you to set one. -
Caller id says MY OWN HOME PHONE NUMBER is calling itself!?!?
Today I apparently got a call from myself, or a ghost! The phone rings, I look at the caller id, and it says that it is my HOME PHONE NUMBER calling my home phone (itself)!! I answer, and no one is there. This has happened before, and I just want to make sure no one is hacking my phone number somehow. Anybody know what this means??

Online security - Calling Features
I am concerned that phone Calling Features can be viewed and changed online without any security requirements.
The Sticky posting "Easier ways to order phone handsets & calling features" provides a link for "Ordering calling features online". The "Change Your Calling Features" button on this page only requires a phone number and postcode to be able to view and change the calling features for that line. The only security feature is a check-box "I confirm I am the account holder"! No MyBT registration or Account Number is required. If any changes are made, all that is requested is an email address, which is not verified.
This process strikes me as being open to malicious use. Phone numbers and postcodes are easily associated. The "Start Your Order" page even provides a handy "Don't know postcode" link! This seems to be all that is required to (for example) turn off caller ID or Answer 1571, or sign up for calling features packs on any phone number you like.
Do you not think that perhaps a bit more security is required on this process?Sometimes the sticky posts can end up on different boards.
Your problem relates to the security on My BT, and hopefully one of the forum moderators will provide you with a reply, as one of them posted the sticky.

My audio apps keep playing in the background after I answer a phone call. How do I turn this off?
Hello BobWeaver,
It sounds like we need to troubleshoot the software on your device as that is not expected behavior.
I would perform steps 1, 3 and 5 from the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/. If you get to step 3, then I suggest closing all the apps. Here is step 1 to get you started:
Restart iPhone
To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
Cheers,

How do I block a phone number calling my iPhone?
How do I block a phone number calling my iPhone, so it only hears a busy tone?
You cannot do this on the iPhone - this is a feature/service that must be provided by the carrier. Contact your carrier and ask if they can do this. In the US, for example, AT&T offers as part of the SmartLimits package.

Have had Wireless Home Phone connect device refreshed and updated three times since I purchased it in September 2014. Last tech I worked with on it initialized an NRB to check the network. I checked the location of the tower, which is less than one mile up the hill with clear line of site. The device always has two antennas on it. The device is great when it does work, but most of the time it rings three times and then jumps to an automated message saying the person I am calling is not available. I've actually gone up there several times to try an fix the device, but always end up calling a Verizon tech who has me unplug it, pull the battery, and they do some network stuff and then we turn it back on and it works. After the last time on 10/02/14, I called it and got the message. I drove up there, 100 miles one way, and called it while standing in the room. Got the same message. I picked up the phone, heard a dial tone and dialed my phone and it range through. I hung that phone connected to the device and call it using my cell phone. It rang through. I went home and tried to call it the next day. Again it did not ring through and I got the message after three rings. I call another phone at the facility and had them call me on my mom's phone and it is fixed it again. The fix last for a day or two and then it's broken again, like it is today. If it's a network problem then it must be fairly close to the area because no matter what we do it fails again. So much for the 99.98% reliable. This thing is a piece of junk!
I purchased this device and put it on my plan so that my mother who we placed in a home at 96 years old would have a phone connection that she could use and wouldn't flip her out. My family and her family has not been able to faithfully connect with her at this critical time in her life. I am giving Verizon 10 more days to figure this out and then I am going to ask for a total refund not to mention how much time and travel I have put into this piece of junk. Either the home connect transceiver is broken or the network is broken. Why should I pay close to $70 for a service that has not worked more than several days out of 35 days? Also I have spent close to three hours on the phone with decent technical people, but it's my time. I should send Verizon a bill for every time I have gone up there to fix this device as well.
What perplexes me is that a regular cell phone would have sufficed, but because Verizon has to have a data connection that is not available on a regular phone and it was going to cost me $30/month, I decided to go with the home connect. Seemed like a nice solution for an older person who would have a hard time using a cell phone and keeping it charged. Plus after all the fees for getting it connected, it only cost $20/month. That would be a pretty good thing, IF IT WORKED....... The other thing that irks me is, why do I have to pay for a data connection when the cell phone Verizon originally provided can't even access the network. What ever happened to adding a phone line for $10 bucks\ month? All I wanted was a simple phone. She would not be able to use anything more complex and all she needs is a phone line period.
I have no problem paying for something that works and does what it should, but this is ridiculousness. The MTF on this device is somewhere around 1 to 2 days. Out of 365 days that's about a 96.5% failure rate....... Want my advice? Get ride of this device. It sucks and it's bad marketing.jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

Just restored my iPhone 5 from iCloud. My wife and I have always shared one iCloud ID. But since my restore, when a call comes in, it rings on both my phone and hers. How can I make this stop? We had it all set up fine before the restore, and there was a trick to it in the settings. I've noticed that since my restore, her phone has picked up what looks like the symbol of a phone in the upper right corner of the display, right next to the Bluetooth symbol.
Hi Big Slick,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
It sounds like your iPhones may be using a new feature in iOS 8 called Continuity. The following article and information explains how to set up this feature for phone calls. You can review the information on the setup to reverse this effect. My suggestion would be to turn off FaceTime on one of the devices.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
Phone calls
With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
Cheers,

Remove calling features - Answer 1571 and Privacy ...
I've just ordered a new connection, and decided to opt into the "free" calling features Answer 1571 and Privacy at Home. After completing the order I was notified by email that these features are only free under certain conditions, otherwise there's an additional monthly charge. This was probably mentioned somewhere while I was ordering it, but I didn't see it so I'm guessing it was buried in small print.
I'd like to opt out of these calling features to avoid having to pay any additional charges, but I can't find any information on how to change which calling features I'm subscribed to. Please can you let me know how to turn off Answer 1571 and Privacy at Home.
I'd also like to make a suggestion: You should make it clear to your customers that there are hidden charges associated with these "free" services before they place their orders.
-MikeYou may be able to visit www.bt.com/myaccount. there is a link on there to changing your calling features, if not it's a call to 150
