HT201401 What should I do if my iPhone 4S isn't responding?

Okay so little side note,  my lock button is broken
I tried to unlock my phone by sliding but it didnt respond. I decided to turn off my phone, so I used the assisive touch thingy and hold the lock button. BUT I couldn't slide the bar! So now all that is working is the assisive touch thing and my home button. I don't know what to do!!! It's probably a hardware thing so I'm planning to go to the apple store to check it out but I want to see if there's anything else I can do before I go.

Do a reset.
Hold the home and power button until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the slide prompt.

    My iPhone 4S which is 1 year and 10 months old has developed yellow spot on left side of screen. Otherwise iPhone works perfectly but that yellow spot continuously annoys me. What should I do as my iPhone is out of warranty now??? The yellow spot becomes prominent on playing games... Will it spread further and get even worse or it is harmless??? Can apple india help me to figure out the issue?? Help!!

    If it was stolen the thief will wipe it with the result that you will not be able to track it.
    Contact your carrier.  They may be able to block further use of the phone.  No good to you but then no good to the thief either.

  • What should I do with my iPhone?

    I’m Vietnamese. My father bought me an iPhone 5s in Hong Kong on 5th, November, 2013. However, on 5th, May, 2014, my iPhone went from working perfectly fine to "searching..." for a signal despite being in an area with good coverage. I tried to turn turn on airplane mode then turn off again, switching off iPhone and switching on again, and also Reset Network Settings. However, those are can't fix my iPhone. I removed the SIM Card and put in another iPhone, I worked perfectly. I connected iPhone with iTunes to update 7.1.1 but it did not success. Finally, I decided (after creating a full backup) to put the phone into recover mode and try to restore it that way. Not only, did I get an “unknown error (1)", I attempted that many times and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode. I have sent it back Hong Kong to repair because I’m still under warranty (I asked my father’s friend help me to send, because of my studying so I could not directly come the store). From that day until today (25th, June, 2014), he called them many times, but they always said:” We will check and if impossible to repair, we will switch it for a new one”. And today, when he calls them again, they said that my iPhone cannot be replaced a new one because it has been opened????????? I am totally sure that my iPhone hadn’t been opened yet.
    I had 2 questions: the first is why didn’t they check my iPhone immediately after receiving it from my father’s friends?; and the second is that after we send my iPhone for service, I will receive a replacement or your repaired iPhone in three to five business days; but in fact, they reported it to us after nearly two months??? Who can ensure that they did not open my iPhone?
    What should I do?

    First you aren't talking to Apple here. This is just a user forum hosted by Apple. We are all just users here.
    Suggestion: Backup and then Restore your iPhone as new using iTunes on your computer.
    Test battery usage to see if it is normal. If not, contact Apple support; you may have a hardware problem.
    If battery usage is normal then restore your iPhone from the backup and continue to monitor battery usage.

  • What should I do when my iPhone is in recovery mode, I'm trying to restore, and it's stuck at the "Waiting For iPhone" stage??

    I dropped my iPhone on the ground, and as I went to pick it up, I started to swear under my breath as I realized my iPhone was in recovery mode. I'm like "how would an iPhone be this sensitive -_-," and so as my iPhone's docked unto my laptop, and with relentless attempts to restore my iPhone, I always find iTunes stuck at the "Waiting For iPhone" stage and I honestly have no clue what to do at this point. What should I do to bypass this or fix this problem? Or do I just wait? -_-

    Nothing except that when I turn it on, there's a USB cable and an iTunes logo above it, indicating that it's in recovery mode.

  • What should i do when my iphone 4S shuts down at 20-30% battery?

    I have gotten a few times the situation that my Iphone shuts down and it was still at 20%+. When i try to turn it on again it says that the battery is out. I put it back in the charger and i can turn it on immediately. What should i do? It is still in guarantee period
    Greetings

    Try recalibrating the battery meter... fully discharge (until it shuts off) and then fully recharge (don't unplug until 100%) to recalibrate the battery meter.  You may need to do this a few times.

    I would do a hard restart and then make sure you flip the Vibrate botton on and off on the side. If that does work i would reset to factory settings. If that does not work i would take it to a apple store, Good luck
