HT201401 My lock screen is stuck

Everytime I go to unlock my phone my lock screen pauses and then lets me in. Recently, I have been putting in my number and the screen completely locks, I cannot turn off my phone and I cannot charge it, I have to wait for it to shut down by it's self which, takes anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. Any clue what is the matter with my phone?

Try Virtual Lock Button. Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new small white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even be used to turn iPhone OFF. To turn iPhone ON, connect to power, charger or USB port of computer.

  • HT201401 My lock button is stuck

    My iphone 4s was working fine, then all of a sudden the lock button stopped working. I didn't drop it or anything, it just randomly stopped. I can't turn off my phone, or lock it. Everything else is working perfectly fine. I got the phone 1 year ago. I'm super careful with it, it's always in an otter box and I don't even think I've dropped it anymore than twice since I bought the phone. Please help?

  • Lock Screen Button Stuck

    Hello,
    A few days ago, my lock screen button jammed and I haven't been able to fix it.  I bought this phone in August, so I'm hoping that it is still under warranty.  Any suggestions? 
    Thank you.

        Dear Laurae10,
    Good afternoon. Having a nonresponsive home key can definitely be frustrating. It would be my pleasure to address your equipment and warranty concerns.
    When you purchase a device with Verizon Wireless, it will come with a one year manufacture's warranty from the day that it was purchased. However, the manufacture's warranty does not cover physical or water damage.
    If the lock button stopped working due to the phone having physical or water damage, this will not be covered under the manufacture's warranty. The good news is that if you have equipment insurance, you may file in Insurance claim to replace your device. To start an insurance claim click http://bit.ly/07CrqPK

  • Lock screen unresponsive/stuck, needs restart

    My Passport is set to Auto Lock after 1min. Most of the time Locking/unlocking works fine, sometimes the swipe-up gesture does not work and it does not bring back the password entry screen. Only option is to restart the phone. I have seen this happen atleast once every 3 days, and is more likely to happen the device is in pocket and has 3 accidental attempts to unlock. When this happens I either can't get the password screen, or when I do get the password screen, I can't enter "blackberry" keyword. 

    Perhaps too obvious, but did you try the power button at the top? Sometimes the swipe up doesn't work for me and I just tap the top button.It may be that you are seeing a bug in combination with the Advanced Interactions feature. Try different settings, though not all at once. Run in each configuration until something happens, or you're pretty sure nothing happens. Intermittent issues like this are really hard to diagnose properly.

  • Lock screen and other app stuck on zoomed mode

    I noticed that my lock screen is stuck on zoomed mode. When I'm in my home screen it's in standard view. Also I'm having the same issue with my apps. Apps like Pinterest, Tumblr, Swarm, Twitter looks fine but other apps like Facebook and Instagram are all stuck on zoomed mode. How do i fix this?

    Hello iankyliu,
    It may be that the zoom accessibility feature has been enabled. The article linked below details how to go about turning it off.
    iOS: Home screen icons are magnified or large

    Otherwise, it may be Display Zoom that's enabled, which is explained in the iPhone User Guide.

  • E17 lock screen: stuck at authenticating

    Hello,
    as of yesterday the E17 lock screen is stuck at authenticating(doesn't reject password nor unlocks the screen) and i have to kill and restart X to get around it. Note that happens with version 0.17 and 0.17.1, so doesn't look like it is related to the update. It used to work in the past though.
    After reading the wiki i created  /etc/pam.d/enlightenment:
    $:cat /etc/pam.d/enlightenment
    auth required pam_unix_auth.so
    but that doesn't help. I guess being stuck at authenticating is some different problem than not accepting the password.
    Any ideas where to look now? I still guess it is PAM related, but i never had to manually configure PAM, so any help is appreciated.
    Edit:
    I removed my .e configuration folder and let E17 recreate everything, authenticating works now. Weird... but now the mixer module settings freeze E17... sigh...

    We had a similar issue and opened an SR with Oracle Support. Their recommendation was to turn usage and event tracking off. These are under the Administer menu in Workspace:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/bpmui_user/ch01s16s01.html
    Since turning these off, we haven't had the issue. However, we'd like these to be turned on and I believe the SR is still open for this purpose. Try the same and see if it resolves your issue. I will send another update with Oracle's recommendation.
    Cheers,

  • My lock screen picture is zoomed in. When I try to change it, I can't scale it, or try to zoom out to a position I like. It is permanently stuck in one position. I asked a friend that had ios7 and he can't relate, and has never seen it before

    To back to the normal scale you have to disable the parallax.
    Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Reduce Motion (turn off)
    You won't be able to put the wallpepr out of frame as ios 6 (earlier), but it stop to putting the annoying zoom.

  • My iPhone 5 is stuck on "verifying update" lock screen

    I was updating my iPhone to iOS 8.1.1, but it failed verification and now my phone is stuck on "verifying updates" on the lock screen. I can't even shut it off completely because it will not let me slide the power off button.
    I even connected into my macbook air, but nothing happened.
    Any help is appreciated to fix this issue.
    Thank You!

    If the update process has not completed, it may help to put your iPhone into recovery mode in order to get it updated.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • IPad Stuck on lock screen (4th Gen)

    Hi All,
    I have a iPad 4th Generation - Late 2012 edition. In the last few weeks it has been getting stuck on the lock screen more and more.
    I lock the iPad in the usual way, but when I swipe to unlock it nothing happens - I have attached a photo and a video of the problem can be downloaded from https://www.amazon.co.uk/clouddrive/share/bgDUnkJz_3yAdCV947xoFai7hn-ZjLML0sJ4Es mJGoY
    The only way to get it to work is to totally power down the iPad and turn it back on.
    I have done a full restore on iTunes, but it's still doing it.
    Can anyone help at all?
    Thanks alot,
    Keith

    sorry - I meant to say it's running iOS 8.1.1 and has 2.9gb free space.
    Thanks
