Iphone 3 refuse to switch off

iphone 3 refuse to switch off

You may have an app running. Try force quitting. Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then press and hold the Home button until the app quits.
If that didn't help, try here >  iPhone and iPod touch: Frozen and unresponsive

  • My iphone does not automatically switch off the display light when locked. How do I fix this?

    I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 8.2 software.
    My iPhone does not automatically switch off the display light when it is locked. Therefore, if I get an e-mail/text message/pop-up from other application, the light just stays on, which obviously drains my battery.
    The problem just started yesterday, and it has been a couple of days since I updated the software, so I wouldn't think the software update is the problem.
    I have tried restarting the phone (using home and lock button), but that did not work.
    Something else that seems weird is that once in a while, a blue beam rolls over the screen from one side to the other. I don't know why it does this, and have no idea whether this is related to the display light issue.
    I hope someone is able to help by telling me what to do in order to get my phone to act normal again.
    Thank you x

    Restart your device by holding the home and power button until the Apple logo appears. You will not lose any data.

  • How to find my lost iPhone if it is switched off

    How to find my lost iPhone if it is switched off?

    Go out and look for it.  Any form of remote tracking, including find my iPhone, requires that the device be powered on, and that it be connected to the internet (wifi or cellular doesn't matter - but it must have an active internet data connection).
    If powered off, it is as inert as a brick - no way to do anything via remote commands to it at all.

  • HT1212 iPhone can't be switched off

    I have a message telling me that Icloud not backed up and then I cant switch off the phone or do anything. When i connected it to the computer, since the screen is frozen with that message, I cant log in to the Itunes as well.

    Hey!
    I have tried holding down the home and power button countless of times. It doesnt respond at all. Plug my phone to a charger and hold down the power button and my phone switched on. But it said Activation Required and said connect to Itunes. As e screen remains on the connect to Itunes screen, I disconnect the charger from my phone and my phone went dead instantly. My battery is full btw. Tried connecting to Itunes through my Macbook Pro but iTunes doesnt detect my device and the apple logo flashes for about a few seconds on my phone and then disappear and then came back on again. My Iphone has been connected to my laptop for about 30 mins and the apple logo has been coming on and off for 30 minutes now and Itunes has not detect my device yet.
    SIGHHH.

  • IPhone should not be switched off when screen is locked

    Why we can switch off iPhone when it is locked? when phone is locked it should not allow to switch off.
    Is this a bug or desired functionality?
    Also I just found that if someone else register my iPhone with his/her apple id then it will never show any alert. So find my iPhone app is total waste. This app is good only if your phone is registered with your apple id.
    Hope apple knows this problem, if not then this is really hopeless and not acceptable from them.
    Thanks,
    Yogi

    1st of all, tyvm for your reply, really appreciated
    question though, are you 100% sure about it ?

  • My Iphone 4 will not switch off silent .... Please help.

    I Updated My IPhone 4 on the 2nd of Jan 2013 and since then it will not switch off silent mode with the switch on the side of the phone , does any one know what i can do or if there is any other way to switch it off silent ?

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting, but it can clear some glitches.
    If this does not help, set it up as new device, shown here:
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If still not luck, you'll have to get it looked at by visiting an Apple Store or contact Apple to get it serviced:

  • Request for switch off protection in coming new iphone.

    Dear apple
    Subject- Request for switch off protection in coming new iphone.
    I am a very new customer of yours, have bought a iPhone 5s on 25th Dec '13, but unfortunately someone stolen my phone in a MELA in my city. I immediately call my iphone but getting it switch off, as the thief had put the phone in switch off mode. I search it in iCloud with find my iphone apps but getting offline till date. I use pass code & finger print protection that's why probably it can't be use by the thief, but it can be sell as spare parts by opening up its parts . I had do all legal formalities & inform my carrier to lock my sim. Recently I again bought a new iPhone 4s 8GB from amazon.com & using it now.
    It is the time to welcoming new iphone probably iphone 6/iphone air in this fall. I have plan to buy it & a apple laptop but first iphone 6 followed by iwatch if you launch & than laptop.
    Now coming to the main point why I have written this mail let's explain it - I think you should put a switch off protection in this new device so that someone can't put the phone in switch off mode except the owner, at-least phone can be track till the battery last if someone stollen it. Because I know the problem & pain when someone lose a smart phone with all personal details. So please consider this in your new device as a new feature.
    I have given the details of my both phone -
    1.iphone 5s Gold
    IMEI no
    SL no F2******RC6
    Parts no MF354HN/A
    2. iPhone 4s 8GB black
    IMEI no
    SL no C8*****ML6
    Parts noMF265HN/A

    This is a user-to-user forum. If you wish to offer Apple feedback, you can do so here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    As for your suggestion, as much as I can understand what you are requesting, if the device is turned off, it is off. There isn't anything Apple or your carrier can do about that. Having a device that is OFF continue to send a signal suggest all sorts of privacy and battery management issues. 

  • Restoring phone, need to switch off Find My iphone, but can't access phone

    Whilst updating IOS7 my phone crashed.  I reset it and successfully managed to restore to backup.  Everything was working fine until it asked for a passcode.  I entered the last passcode I was using but it won't accept it.  I've tried to restore again however iTunes is telling me that Find my iPhone needs to be switched off before it will do the restore, and this is done via the settings on the phone - which I can't access because I don't know the passcode.

    The Find My iPhone app has nothing to do with this. Deleting the Find My iPhone app which is used to find another iOS device or Mac computer you own or for someone else to find their iPhone or iOS device with your iPhone does not turn off Find My iPhone with your iCloud account settings on your iPhone.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

    There is no way to track it if it is turned off. Be sure to report the theft to authorities, and change passwords for any accounts that may be accessible from the iPhone.
