Iphone 4 constantly "pocket dials" my contacts whilst the lock screen is on...

My iPhone 4 constantly "pocket dials" my contacts due to pressure on the home button whilst the screen is locked, can I turn it off?

You cannot turn off the Home Button. Use a passcode and you won't have that problem.

  • My iphone 4s will not stop autofocusing on the lock screen camera?

    My new iphone 4s will not stop autofocusing on the lock screen camera, (the regular camera is fine.) It seems to focus on my face and then the green box surrounding my face doesn't go away, and I cannot click anything or exit until my screen locks after 15 seconds. What is wrong?

    how did you turn it on?
    I ask because I may not own a iphone4s but only a iphone4 and it don't have a LED on the front only on the back

  • My iphone 4 is enlarged and frozen on the lock screen...what can I do?

    My iphone 4 is enlarged and frozen on the lock screen...It will not let me do anything! Please help!!

    You have Zoom on... double tap with three fingers to turn it off.   Go into Settings > General > Accessibility to disable it.
    If that doesn't work...
    Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider.  Slide to power off.  Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
    Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if, it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • I just update my iphone 4 to IOS 5 and in the lock screen I do not see the icon to access my camera, how can I set it up?

    I cant see the camera access on the lock screen , I just updated my iphone 4 to IOS 5, anyone nows why??

    I've repeatedly had problems with my Yahoo! account on iOS 4 too, and I've had to delete it, then set it up again. It kept asking for my password, though the phone had it memorized, and when I entered it, I'd get the same error message about no password being set. Could be the Mail app has a problem with Yahoo!, because on my MacBook Pro too, the Yahoo! account sometimes gets locked out.
    Oh, and thanks for the tip about the lock screen: I've just posted a new discussion about this. Should have searched the forum first, I know...

  • Turned my iPhone completely off and then on. The lock screen then came up with no clock and when I entered my pin, it would not bring me in, it would just go back to the same lockscreen with no time. Now says Temperature, needs to cool down

    Stuck on screen saying Temperature needs to cool down before use for hours, I don't know what to do

    Also, it does not say Swipe to Unlock, it says Swipe For Emergency. Maybe why the passcode isn't working?

  • Can you tell me if it is possible to have an emergency no on the locked screen 0n the iphone  it would be great because all phones are looked so if an emergency services requires to contact a close member of you family its there for them to see

    Can you tell me if it is possible to have an emergency no on the locked screen of my iPhone it would be great f you can most phones are locked know so a contact no would be great and save time in an emergency

    The application Stickies makes doing this (without the need for writing and picture-taking) exceptionally easy:

    There is an upgrade to a "pro" version but the free version will get the job done.

  • When I boot up the iphone 5s after it being off it will load then as soon as it gets to the lock screen it goes to sleep right away it will show me the lock screen for a second if that

    When I turn on the iphone 5s after it being off it will load then show me the lock screen for a second if that and then go right to sleep mode right away as soon as the lock screen comes on

    Hi Apple user 789,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The following article will provide some troubleshooting steps for your iPhone.
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:
    iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    The final troubleshooting step would be to restore your device:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition. Before restoring:
    Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes.
    Back up your device.
    Transfer and sync content to your computer.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Happy Holidays!

  • My ex has my iPhone 4. I loaned it to her, now she's keeping it and has her pass code on the lock screen. I froze the acct with Bell, but want to remote wipe the phone. Not sure if she has iCloud on but she might have Find My IPhone on. Advice to wipe?

    Help... My ex has my iPhone 4 that I lent her. I kept the phone on my Cell phone service provider because of her bad credit. She turned out to be quite the lunatic, and it took the police to get her out of my home. What a nightmare. She still has my phone with her own pass code on the lock screen. I froze the service provider acct, so she can't call with it or use data unless she gets her own account. However she can still access many of my contacts I left on there. She also gets apps that I download onto my iPhone 5. She can't download apps herself because she has no apple account. Mine is still on there. She doesn't know my password. She does still get copies of my apps though. I tried to stop that when we were still together in a relationship but didn't succeed. Do I need to creat a new apple account, or just change the account name to stop her from getting the apps? Can I remote wipe the phone if the iCloud functions are set to off on that phone, but maybe the Find My IPhone is still turned on? She has mental disorders and a mean streak. Does anyone have advice or ideas???

    Apparently "find my iPhone" won't work unless I restart her cell service, which I can easily do. I think she might  need her phone powered on too for me to trace it and wipe it. She forgot her charger here and has no service on it, so won't have it on much. Maybe I can change my Apple ID altogether? As long as the new Apple ID doesn't somehow automatically go to her phone.

  • Is there any way to keep the charge indicator bar onscreen in the lock screen in IOS7? And can I keep the call in progress screen up instead of going to wallpaper while a call is dialing?

    IOS6 had a charge indicator bar on the lock screen that allowed me to see at a gance how much charge I had. Now it only flashes onscreen when I first connect the charger for about 1-2 seconds. I know the icon in the top right shows percentage, but it is too small to get an accurate look.
    Also, when a call is in the progress of dialing my phone just shows the wall paper instead of the whole call control screen. I can hit the home button then hit the return to call bar at the top of the screen to get the control screen, but that is annoying to say the least. If I accidentally dial a number while navigating my contacts or one of the apps it takes several steps to cancell the call before completion.
    I know my wallpaper may be pretty, but I don't need to see it while trying to use the phone instead of having control of the phone or seeing desired information (charge indicator).

    I have a similar issue. Sound works okay but keep getting the app not optimized, you may experience a decrease in celluar strength. Verizon says it is a software issue. Apple says it is a hardware. Phone will niot synch to itunes to do any kind of reset.

  • How to display your email and a message to finder on the lock screen of an iPhone?

    Hi,
    I loose things, including phones and keys...
    To prevent a worst case scenario: How to display your email and a message to finder on the lock screen of an iPhone? (6 plus, current iOS)
    That is, I assume most people finding an iPhone would want to try to contact me to give it back to me, if they know how: how can leave my contact information in the phone? This needs to be on the lock screen, naturally, as this is the only view the finder can see. It would be useful to be able to add a message of sorts a la "if found please call my wife ### or email me ###".
    How can this be done other than editing the JPG of the wallpaper, or sticking a business card to the back of the phone (these are the only solutions I came up with, there must be something better).
    Cheers!

    Greetings _daniel_, 
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    It seems like you'd like to display a message on your iPhone 6 Plus in the event it is lost. Good news--you can do this with the Find my iPhone feature of iCloud.
    Check out these links for more information:
    iCloud: Set up iCloud
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    If you can’t find your device, use Lost Mode right away to lock it with a passcode, display a custom message on the screen, and keep track of its location.
    Cheers, 
    Jeremy

  • How can I add an icon for a contact to the home screen?

    New to iPhone and can't find a way to add a shortcut/icon for an individual contact to the home screen. I have looked in the user's guide and searched the web but no luck other than suggestions to download some type of app. This function has been available on two different Android phones I've used the past several years. Surely the iPhone has this capability???

    That is not a standard feature on the iPhone. There are many features available on one and not the other.

  • HT2907 How do you stop inadvertent contact with the touch screen? Why no Lock Button?  Doesn't anyone work out at Apple??  MY Gen 7 also doesn't link to workout equipment automatically like my Gen 6 and I can't stop the bloody voiceover.  Any thoughts?

    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 another cable
    - 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.

  • How do I shut off the lock screen feature on my iPhone 5s?

    How do I shut off the lock screen feature on my iPhone 5s?

    You can turn Auto-Lock off and you can choose not to have the Passcode Lock feature enabled, but there will always "slide to unlock" available after manually turning the iPhone's screen off with the sleep/wake button or with Auto-Lock enabled without having the Passcode Lock feature enabled.
    This is to prevent anything from being selected on the iPhone after the screen has been turned off or or placing the iPhone in sleep mode if the iPhone were in your pocket and the home button or sleep/wake button was selected without your knowledge.

  • I have a iPhone 4 and lately it has been shutting down randomly when I still have battery left. It also doesn't turn back on, until I plug it in to the charger. But when I plug it in, the low battery sign shows up then comes to the lock screen with 68%.
