Iphone 4 hang up on lock screen

hi my iphone 4 is hang up on lock screen and nothing is working, i got a text msg which is displaying on the screen on the the lock screen, please suggest what can i do, even though i plug in for charging and trying to sync but nothing happens

I am having and have had this issue for quite some time now. My iPhone 4 (4.3.5) touch screen freezes periodically and actually pretty frequently. Theres really no rhyme or reason to when or why it does it and I don't recall ever having this issue before upgrading to the latest iOS update.
Most of the time what I am able to reslove the issue (temporary) is pressing the power button. On occasion I have shut the phone all of the way down and restarted it.
Here are the issues that I am expereincing:
-Call finished and unable to end call on touchscreen
-Incoming call touchscreen will be unresponsive and unable to answer
-During call have another call come in and touchscreen will be unresponsive, cannot ignore, answer other caller...nothing
-Press the home button to wake the phone and the slide to unlock will not slide
-Press app icon (any app) and the icon idicates that I have pressed it however, the phone does not respond and the app does not open.
I took my phone into the apple store and they ran diagnostics on it and could not find any issues other than a few dropped calls. The "Genius" that was assiting me told me that my iOS must be corrupted and that we needed to do a complete restore. So, thats what we did and I left the store. I'm not sure exactly how long it took for it to start happening again but it wasn't long. In fact I'm not sure that restoring it did anything at all.
So...I'm not sure what is causing this and I don't know what to do about the issue now. I pre-purchased my iPhone 4 when they came out and have had it since then (out of 1yr warranty and did not purchase applecare).
I do wonder if I could possibly have a "bad" app installed on my phone that is causing this to happen.
Any ideas or suggestions would be very helpful...I am really frustrated at this point.

  • My iphone 5 getting hang in the lock screen.

    My iphone 5 getting hang in the lock screen.. needs to reboot hard, no use of 7.2 update patch, i have updated the same but still its getting hang in the lock screen ...please suggest what to do ?

    Hi Apple Engineers,
    Problem:
    I am facing this same freez problem on my Iphone 5 (with iOS 7.0.4) in India, Chennai.
    I am using Airtel provider.
    1. I can see the missed call list(s) on the first locked screen
    2. To unlock the screen i tried to Swap "slide to unlock" screen, But it hangs (freez). But swap Bottom to Top to see the short cut app modes (wifi, airoplane mode,bluetooth...etc) it is working fine.
    3. I cant get in to passcode input screen.
    Workaround for this issue: (for iphone users)
    1. "Reset iPhone" OR
    2. "Make a call from your firend mobile to your hanged Iphone and pick the call. Now you wouldn't see the hanging problem"
    Suggessions: (for iphone engineers)
    Might be problem in locking mechanishm in the IOS. Missed call would be not properly handled by the locking mechanisim, Since, while freez, next attend call will resolvd this issue. So locking mechanishm is the problem. Please concentrate these part and put your hard work on this. Don't give workaround to iphone users all the time. workaround is only temp until fix the bug. So work hard and give us the flawless upgrade.

  • After update iOS 5.1 iPhone 4 camera on lock screen doesn't open the app

    After update iOS 5.1 iPhone 4 camera on lock screen doesn't open the app

    Tonebox,
    I couldn't get my camera to work smoothly
    the 1st ten times,or so,I tried to open it.
    As it turns out,it isn't as pressure sensitive as I have
    grown accustomed to, and required a gesture that feels
    rather awkward, by comparison to the ones I have been using.

    iphone 5 freezes on lock screen

    I reset my phone everytime my phone freezes but did not do the following steps. I will try and let you know. Thing to note here is, this never happened before ios7. I also noticed, freezing often happens with a bunch of "whatsapp" messages showing up on my locked screen. I have disabled that feature to see if it solves the problem. Thanks for taking time to reply.

  • IPhone 6 - Camera from Lock Screen doesn't Work

    Hi everybody, how are you ?
    I've got a problem with my iPhone 6 64Gb (Same problem before with my iPhone 5, so that's strange and i think the problem is since the new iOS 8.x)
    On the lock screen, if i try to open the camera, calculator, lamp, from Control Center, i've got a black screen or my wallpaper...
    So i must to open the iPhone and start the camera...
    If i restart the device, it's working but i don't want to do that every day !
    Does anybody has the same problem or not ? Do you have a solution please ?
    Device : iPhone 6 64Gb
    iOS : 8.1.1 (12B436)
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    I haven't got the same problem but I think to solve your problem is that you have to enable Assistive Touch and then try it (If that does't work, you might have to take it to the apple shop)
    To enable assistive touch, follow the steps below,
    •Go to settings
    •Go to General
    •Go to Accessibility
    •Scroll to the very bottom and find "AssistiveTouch"
    •Click it
    •Turn it on
    Hopefully that works but if it does't like I said above, you might need to go to your local apple store and get them to try and fix it.

  • IPhone fetches email from lock screen

    I have all of my email accounts set to manual fetch/push. It works perfectly.
    However, on occasion the iPhone will fetch my email as I'm quitting and app or push the sleep button before putting the iPhone in my pocket.
    I suspect it's some shortcut or gesture. Does anyone have any idea what's happening.

    While on the lock screen, double tap the home button, the camera button is there.

  • IPhone 6 (16GB) frozen locked screen

    There is a 16 GB iPhone 5 with iOS 7 which freezes at lock screen. Had tried to hard reset multiple times however still no go. The data is important so i couldn't go into DFU mode and recover it yet. Please leave a comment if you have any solutions or thoughts?

    Hi meisamal,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your iPhone restarted itself and is booting to a blue screen. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article and working through the troubleshooting steps within.

  • IPhone 4s stuck in lock screen with broken power button

    Okay so my power button was jammed 9-10 months ago for unexplained reasons and I've been using the assistive touch since then. My phone will be two in early September so it's fairly old.
    My phone is in the lock screen and all I can do is use the assistive touch to make a phone call. I can even hang up but I can't slide to power off or open a text. Is there any way I can fix this?
    My phone was just updated to iOS 7.1.2 a few hours ago if that makes any difference in what's wrong.

    How about getting the phone's switch repaired?

  • Iphone 5 freezing on lock screen

    My iPhone 5 is almost 2 1/2 yrs old and since yesterday it has been frozen on lock screen. I cannot swipe open or shut down. I have reset using on/off and home button several times and after reloading its still the same. Is there anything else I can do to get it working again? I've never had a problem with it before now...
    Thanks

    Also I have tried to connect to iTunes but my computer wants me to respond on my iPhone to allow access - nothing is appearing on the screen to allow access. I've used this computer many time to sync. I'm stumped :-(

  • IPhone 4 iOS 7 lock screen won't automatically shut off after receiving a message

    whenever i get a message on my iphone 4 (ios 7) the lock screen does not automatically shut off. it just stays on until i manually turn it off and it drains my battery completely! how do i fix this? it's really annoying.
    i have auto-lock set to 1 minute.

    Same issue here.
    Noticed it on a iPhone 4 and iPhome 5S.
    Already running iOS 7.0.3.
    Screen, last night three times, goes into lockscreen and seems to be stuck there. It won't go off (into suspend or how you call it) until you hit the button.
    Not sure if it's messages related, since i didn't get any message the last "freeze" time.
    I was running some apps, including GPS and Safari and whatsapp.

  • IPhone 6 camera on lock screen not working properly

    When I drag up the camera icon on the lock screen I can see the camera app for a split sec but then the screen goes black.
    While in this screen I can still make pictures by vaguely pressing where the white button should be or using the volume buttons.
    It also doesnt work if I first drag up the 'settings menu' and access the camera from there, but when out of the lock screen everything works perfectly fine.
    Is there anyway I can try to reinstall iOS, or anything that might work? Sounds like a software problem to me.

    Press and hold both the home button and the lock button (sleep/wake button) until you see the apple logo. This performs a restart and does not delete any data.
    I hope this solves your problem.

  • IPhone 6 Camera from lock screen, closes after 1 second...

    When I access the camera from the lock screen, it opens for about one second then just blacks out to a screen off mode. I can still get to camera the long way by unlocking screen and clicking on icon, but want to know why the shortcut from lock screen is buggy. Please advise.

    I'm not sure what you meant with the first part of your reply. However, the reset seems to returned behaviors to normal... so thanks for that.
    Not that it matters much now, but again, the issue was that I wasn't able to go directly into camera mode from Lock Screen... the camera app would appear for one second, then the screen would just go into sleep mode. Unlocking screen with passcode or Touch ID worked fine then opening apps from there all worked fine. Just the camera shortcut from Lock Screen as the issue, but now it is resolved.
