HT201412 Iphone 4S screen stops working from time to time

Iphone 4S screen stops working from time to time.
sometimes for a few seconds, or sometimes many hours.
I've resetted it when this happens, with no luck.
I've restored it from back up, and the problem still persists.
What can i do?

Hello,
I had that problem as well and the apple support suggested to turn off the LTE-mode to have a running system and try to exchange the micro-sim by my provider.
THAT was not an option!
BUT it seems to solve my problem in the following way after trying a lot of possibilties:
In the menue properties/help (don't know the exact english word, because I run my phone in german)
I switched on the nice feature 'flash LED' by incomming calls, msgs, and push infos.
Today the flash feature was responding to different push notes very slowly.
By switching this feature off the LTE-mode-tochscreen-not-responding-problem disappeared.
We tried this on a other iphone, not having the metioned problem, and switched the LED-flash:
the problem appeared. Switching the LED-flash off: problem disappeared!
It seems to be a bug that the LED will hint Calls and MSGs in combination with the LTE mode!
treated my phone very hard today to double check, but its still ok.
@Apple:
Please fix that issue in the next update.
Hope, this helps you guys as well.

  • My iPhone 5 screen stopped working, but the phone is still turned on.

    Last night I was sat using my iPhone 5 and it froze a little bit, so I locked the screen thinking it would solve the problem. But after locking the screen the screen did not turn back on, however the phone itself is still turned on as siri works. I have been sending texts via siri and listening to music but nothing at all on the phone is working. To make problems worse my lock button does not work so I can't restart the phone. What can I do?

  • Just upgraded to ios 6.1.3 - iPhone 4S screen stopped working.  Is this a known fault?

     

    Have fixed screen issue by re-setting phone.  ie held down off switch and round button simultaneously for about 10 seconds.  Got an Apple icon followed by passcode request and PRESTO - normal function has been resumed.  Phew!  but drama I could have done without.

    Since restarting did not help, reset your iPhone, see: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If that still does not solve it, check, if the contact you are trying to add is problematic. Try to save a different contact. Does that work?
    If not, reinstall the Contacts app. This is only possible by restoring your iPhone, unfortunately.

  • Touch screen stopped working on iPhone 5

    Hi guys,
    My brother is using iPhone 5 in iOS 8.0.2 v and suddenly his phone start searching for the antenna and the touch screen stopped working (I can't even side to unlock )!! The screen will be on still the phone reset automatically and when is up it will search again for the antenna and every steps repeat all overThe screen Really got confused what had happened to phone. Even I try to reset it by holding Power bottom and Home bottom after resetting nothing has changed. Also the bottoms stopped working while the screen is on (when I'm holding the Power bottom it won't show me to side for power off )
    Every time I had a problem I posted my problem here, but i got nothing from anyone, if is it for my bad English I'm sorry but I really need some help here.
    What can I do!?
    Thanks

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. If this does not work, set it up as new device without using the backup, in case it contains corrupt data causing this problem.

    If still no luck, get it serviced by Apple:

    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. If nothing has happened after holding for 30 seconds charge the phone for 15 minutes with the wall adapter and try again.

  • MY iPhone 5C suddenly stopped working. It wont connect to my Mac and repeatedly reboots from the apple Logo when plugged into the wall. Help!

    MY iPhone 5C suddenly stopped working. It wont connect to my Mac and repeatedly reboots from the apple Logo when plugged into the wall.
    There is no water damage or anything. I got that checked at the Apple store. I also have Apple Care + but didnt let them give me a new one yet because I have photos on this that I have no yet backed up that are very important. They are the last photos I have with my grandfather. Can anyone help me. Please!

    If the phone shows the "connect to iTunes" screen, the data on the phone is most likely lost.
    Connecting in recovery mode is your only chance to use the phone again, besides getting it serviced by Apple.

  • Any way to stop iPhoto from launching every time iPhone syncs??

    The subject posting says it all: Is there any way to stop iPhoto from launching every time I synch my iPhone? I've clicked this and that, checked this and that. I must be missing something so if someone could help, I thank you in advance.

    OR ... delete the photos from the phone after they were imported. If you want those photos to be on the phone, set them to import during a sync. Getting them out of the iPhone's "camera roll" album is the key here.
    An easy way is to set up a iPhoto album called "for iPhone" or something. When your new photos are initially imported into iPhoto they will be in the "last roll" smart album. Select them from there and drag them into your "for iPhone" album and make sure that album is selected to sync. Either check the "delete photos after importing" box in iPhoto or delete them manually from your "camera roll" album on your iPhone after the sync. iPhoto will not automatically open until you take new photos.
    Remember ... setting Image capture to not open iPhoto, as well as the setting iPhoto to delete photos after importing ... will apply to your camera or memory card device as well.

  • How do I stop apps from reloading every time I unlock my iPhone?

    How do I stop apps from reloading every time I unlock my iPhone? I have an iPhone 4 and at least 95% of the time I unlock it, some apps act as though they are reinstalling. It only lasts for about 3 seconds if that but it makes me feel like something is wrong with it. Does anyone else have this problem??

    Could you explain what you mean by this? What is happening that makes you think they're reinstalling?

  • The ringer switch on side of iphone 4s has stopped working and is now turning itself from silent to ringer without me touching buttons. Will this be covered under warrent? I have had the phone less than 1 year.

    The ringer switch on the side of my Iphone 4S has stopped working and the phone is now turning itself on and off silent without me touching any buttons. Will this be covered under warrenty? I have had the phone for less than a year. Although I have had the screen replaced, and wondered if this may void the warrenty?

    Yes, the screen replacement (I am assuming by you our a 3rd party) voided your warranty.

    My iPhone has suddenly stopped working. It now says the battery is dying and to charge it. After charging it for over an hour, there is no change. The power won't come on, and I am left with a blank screen advising me to plug my phone into the charger.

    Try different USB Cable, try different Charger. Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. If still problem and you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, most likely it could be battery or charging port assembly that need replacement.

  • HT1212 my iphone 4s has stopped working it now has a black screen and although it seems to be turned on, its not responding to anything??? HELP

    My iphone 4s has stopped working it first stopped accepting my pass code then the screen went black, I have connected it to my computer but it is still not working just makes a sound when i connect it. can anyone help??

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • All apps stop working at the same time?

    After getting those 'free apps' from the app-store (directly with my iPhone3G)... they all worked fine for 1-2 days. I ran them many times without problems.
    Now they all stopped working at the same time. (They attempt to load... their main screens appear... then they just exit back to HOME instead.) Web-apps and built-in Apple software, all works fine.
    I've tried powering the iphone up/down several times.
    I've also tried deleting 1-2 of the apps from the phone... and the re-syncing.
    Same problem.
    Are there 'fixes' better than:
    Drive 1,000 miles back home and re-sync all your apps.
    Restore the phone and lose all my settings.
    Search, find, download, and re-install all the apps over again. (What if I had >100????)
    I need a 100% reliable phone... all the time.
    At any time... all my apps might instantly stop working for unknown reasons???
    (Itunes=v7.7.1.11 iPhone3G=2.0-3A347 PC=Windows Xp Pro)

    same thing happened to me, I think it has something to do with itunes 7.7.1
    I'm beginning to think you are right... but is there another way to copy things
    from PC to iPhone... without ever using iTunes?
    or... maybe it's not iTunes:
    ... since I downloaded all my apps direct from iStore->iPhone... wouldn't
    sync'ing them only copy them from iPhone->PC? (So how could iTunes be the
    problem... since it shouldn't really be 'writing' any apps TO the iPhone.)
    Or would copying songs (I only did 1) and MP4 video (I only did 1)... from
    PC->iPhone... somehow affect all my apps?
    With all the powerful things iTune does... I would think a simple "copy command" from PC to iPhone... wouldn't run the risk of damaging all my apps on the iPhone. Or could it?

  • My iPhone5 lock screen stops working sometimes

    My iPhone5 lock screen stops working sometimes.I have to restart the phone every time I encounter this problem. Sometime even when phone is locked and there's incoming call I couldn't answer simply because the touch stops working. This frequency of occurrence is increasing now.
    Is this some kind of software issue because I noticed this after updating to 7.0.2 iOS ?

    Because something is wrong with your iphone.
    Try the basics from the manual: restart, reset, restore.
    If these fail, it is likely a hardware issue.  Make an appointment at the genius bar.
