I can´t turn off my phone

I have a strange problem.
I can't turn it off without it initiating a boot loop all on its own. Every time I press the power button and select "Power Off", it turns off and then about 5 seconds later the Sony screen comes back on, stays on for a few seconds, turns back off and repeats. I can break the bootloop by holding the power button for about 10 seconds and turning the device back on. The consecuence is that every time I turn off my phone, it discharges totally!
My phone is NOT rooted and it hasn't been modified in any way.
Compilation number 23.0.1.A.0.167
Kernel 3.4.0-perf-gd4d661a BuildUser@BuildHost #1
Baseband 8974-AAAAANPZQ-00027-12
The issue appered after a few months of use, in November. I think it didn't coincide with any software update.
It's not a brand new phone so I wouldn't like to return it as I already have lots of information in there.
Thank you for helping.

You may need to perform a software repair using PC Companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

How can I turn off the phone saying "Call from" #/name when getting incoming call.

How can I turn off the phone saying "Call from" #/name when getting incoming call before the ring tone starts? I have a LG accolade

I recommend checking your prompts and alerts to turn this feature off. This may be you "Call Connect" or "Readout" alerts. Listed below are steps to update this feature.
With the flip open, press the Voice Command Key (on the left side of the phone).The Voice Commands feature has several settings which allow you to customize how you want to use it. Access Voice Commands, then press the Right Soft Key[Settings]. Your choices are below:
-Confirm Choices--- Automatic/Always Confirm/ Never Confirm
-Sensitivity--- Control the sensitivity as More Sensitive/ Automatic/Less Sensitive
-Adapt Voice ---If the phone often asks you to repeat voice command,train the phone to recognize your voice patterns.Train Words/ Train Digits
Prompts ---Mode/ Audio Playback/Timeout
* For Mode, set Prompts/ Readout+ Alerts/ Readout/ Tones Only.
* For Audio Playback, set Speakerphone or Earpiece.
* For Timeout, set 5 seconds or 10seconds.

I can't open any apps on my 4S and I can't turn off the phone

I can't open any apps on my 4s and it won't turn off. Suggestions?

Try a Reset. Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons down simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

My iphone is locked by a pop up that says enter voicemail password, I can't turn off my phone, answer calls, text messages, or even unlock my phone! I cannot cancel out of it. I never set a voice mail password in the first place anyway.

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.

I did the latest update on my iphone and now I have a displayed white usb cord with an arrow pointing to ITunes with the circle with the musical note inside. I can't turn off the phone nor can I get beyond this display. Phone goes to voice mail..no ring

I installed the latest update to my iphone 4 and now all I have is a display of the white usb cord with arrow pointing to ITunes with a clue circle with the musical note in it displayed. I can't access my phone at all. I tried calling it and it says unavailable. I don't know how to restore it...it says it is in recovery mode but when I try to recover, it says no iphone found.
I have no idea how what to do to restore my phone. It's fully charged.
GRRRR

Put the device in DFU mode (Google it) and restore.

Resetting the device should knock it back into order.
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until your phone turns off. You can either release at that point or keep pressing until you see the Apple logo...that's an iPhone reset.

I turned off my phone and when I turned it back on, all my apps were deleted. I tried to reinstall my apps, but it wouldn't let me. My storage still remained the same even though, all my apps were deleted. How can I get my apps back?

Hold the home and power button down until your phone restarts. If that doesn't work, backup and restore using iTunes.

An alternate method is Accessibility Settings when connected to iTunes. You should be able to turn it off there. I would also check out some of the answers listed to the right of this post and see if they can help.

Wifi: my Cell phone will remember 10 wifi connections. So delete any you don't use often and your home wifi and try to enter home wifi again.
if it still won't connect to home wifi, call your internet provider for help. You may need a newer router or different settings Or upgraded service. Your phone seeks the best connection and will refuse lesser connections.
last resort. Backup the phone. Do a full reset, then restore as new with the backup.
if still not fixed, go back to apple and insist on repair or replacement.
HOWEVER. voicemail is not a wifi issue, it's a carrier function, which is why the SIM card is a suspect.

Hello aweirandyski.1975,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From what you're describing appears to be Activation Lock, a security measure provided by Apple that makes it harder for people to use a lost or stolen device. You will need to enter the password for the Apple ID the device is prompting you for.
iCloud: Activation Lock

Press and hold the "Top button" and the Home button together for 15 seconds. This will force iPhone to reboot.
