Iphone 4 light stays on

my iphone 4 light stays on even if the phone is switched off...... what do i do?

I've now got the same problem. I was just using my phone then after finishing what I was doing noticed my iphone camera light was on. Tried everything. Went through all the settings. Turning the phone off. A restore, and still not fixed.
The light stayed on all through the restore!
I've also found that the camera does indeed turn off if I was to slightly bend the phone.
The light being on also makes the phone overheat. I got a message on the phone soon after this happened that the iphone was overheating...
If there is a fix for this without having to go to an apple store i'd like to hear it as the closest apple store is about 3 hours away...
Would the telco (Vodafone AU) replace the phone if I take it in to them?

  • IPhone light stays lit after I get a text

    My phone just recently began to do this. Whenever I get a text or if I click the lock button to check the time and don't click it again to turn it off my iPhones light will stay lit until the phone dies. The past 2 days i've woken up to a dead iPhone. Anybody know how to fix this problem? I couldn't find it anywhere else. I've fiddled with the auto brightness but that didn't seem to help.

    Just wondering if your iPhone is in a plastic case or not?
    A plastic case will cause all kinds of glitches, and freeze ups etc...just ask my wife.

  • I dropped my iPhone 4S in the toilet. Now it won't shut off and the camera light stays on. What should I do?

    I dropped my iPhone 4S in the toilet. I dried it and shook out as much water as I could. I removed the SD card and put everything in a bowl of rice. It is still in there and everything appears to be working normally, but it won't shut off and the camera light stays on. I've tried the restart thing where you press and hold the pwr button and the home button. What should I do?

  • Hot phone and red light stays on

    My iphone 3G often gets hot when I use it for 15 or 20 minutes and the little red infared light stays on and I don't know why.  Any helpful ideas or advice would be welcome.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I fear that all you have done, contrary to the recommended process, has permanently damaged your BB. But, you nevertheless might want to try again the "rice trick", but this time not being as anxious about ceasing the process. If you wish to attempt that, then:
    REMOVE YOUR BB BATTERY NOW!!!
    Run, don't walk, to this FAQ:
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Got_Your_BlackBerry_Wet%3F
    Do everything it says, including waiting the maximum recommended time. Applying power to your BB between it getting wet and doing this process reduces the chances of success. Further, the only thing predictable about moisture intrusion into a BB (indeed, any electronic device) is that the results will be unpredictable. I've seen some come back up right away and be fine. I've seen others never work at all. I've seen still others run for a bit, and then die later. And every thing in between.
    Good luck!

  • Macbook Pro Mid 2012 w/ Thunderbolt built in display - Green light stays on constantly...

    Just recently this week,  the green light next to the isight/webcam built in on my Thunderbolt 27" monitor just stays on mostly all the time.  I have followed all of the troubleshooting steps of resetting the PRUM and MCU, placing the computer to sleep, waking it up, shutting it down, doing a hard shutdown (holding down the power button on the laptop itself)   Shutting down the computer, unplugging everything,  unplugging the power cords.  I have TRIED EVERYTHING..... and for whatever reason the green light next to the built in webcam on my Thunderbolt 27" monitor connected to my MacbookPro (I've always had the laptop lid closed)  the light stays on......   
    I beg anyone who has had this problem, please respond and help.    Also,  FYI   I have NOT downloaded any new software or uninstalled anything... I work from home and this is my WORK PC.  The only thing I tired doing when this started happening was join a google hangout.... and that's when it started
    since then,  I have uninstalled google chrome from my mac and also uninstalled the googlevoiceandtalk   application using a script from google that I ran in the Terminal with SUDO.

    I hope to hear from someone.

    Took it to the apple store. The problem was my logic board. I sent it off to be replaced.

    I recently transferred my internet service to another state.I have not yet moved my imac, just my pc laptop. I cannot get my airport extreme wireless router to work. The green light stays lit when everything is connected but I can't connect to the internet. Any suggestions?

    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • Start-up problem with my Macbook - light stays on and screen stays black?!

    Hi, sometimes when I start up my Macbook the switch-on light stays on and the screen stays black. Then I have to turn it off and when I restart it boots normally. What can this be? I resetted already the PRAM and the firmware is up to date. Perhaps someone understands german. Therefore I added my german post... Many thanks in advance!
    Hi, hab ein seltsames Phänomen. Manchmal, vor allem nach ausgeschaltetem Zustand über Nacht, leuchtet nach dem Einschalten das Einschaltlicht auf und geht nicht wieder aus, wie normal wenn das Macbook startet, sondern bleibt an und der Bildschirm bleibt schwarz. Dann schalte ich das Macbook mit dem Ausschaltknof aus und warte ein paar Sekunden und schalte es dann wieder ein. Daraufhin startet es ganz normal. Woran könnte das liegen? Hab schonmal PRAM resettet und die Rechte auch repariert. Der Hardwaretest zeigt auch keine Probleme an. Kann man(n) noch irgendwie überprüfen, woran das liegen könnte oder hat das Problem auch schonmal jemand gehabt? Mein Macbook ist gradmal 2 Monate alt und hat das Problem erst seit kurzem. Könnte das vielleicht auch an einer Software liegen, die ich installiert habe. Kann sowas auch Auswirkungen auf den Bootvorgang haben? Bin Laie und würde gern wissen, ob sowas auch an der Pufferbatterie oder einer kalten Lötstelle liegen kann oder könnte das Macbook da dann gar nicht starten. Wäre für jeden Vorschlag dankbar... Vielen Dank schonmal im voraus!

    Hi,
    put me on the list as well. I was already in contact with ADC and it seems to me that they acknowledged it as a bug. I'm using a Mini-DVI-to-VGA adapter. And sporadically when unplugging it the internal display stays black or switches to the blue background and hangs there.
    As I heard from friends who are using the Mini-DVI-to-DVI adapter in the same use case, this doesn't happen to them.

  • My pavilion dv2418nr wireless switch light stays orange

    My pavilion dv2418nr wireless switch light stays orange, will not go to blue, will not recognize any surrounding neighborhood connections.  ISP says the router is fine, that it is the laptop switch not allowing the wireless card to read any connections. HP tech had me connect the Ethernet cord from the router to the laptop....I got on internet fine...however, that's a hard connect.  Has anyone had this problem with their switch?  i think until that little light turns blue I'm out of luck.  Thanks for you help

    Hi,
    You're welcome, glad it helped
    Regarding the Touchpad, download the latest Synaptics Driver Installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp37001-37500/sp37065​.exe
    Next, open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry for 'Synaptics Pointing Device Driver' and select Uninstall.  When this has completed, restart the notebook.
    When windows has fully reloaded, open your Downloads folder, right click on the Synaptics installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, restart the notebook again and see if this has helped.

  • HT200154 how do you turn off the apple TV box?  There doesn't seem to be an off button.  The status light stays on.

    how do you turn off the apple TV box?  There doesn't seem to be an off button.  The status light stays on.

    Usually, when you put it to sleep mode, the status light will turn off.  To put it into sleep mode, go to Settings.
    If you want it completely off, then I guess the only way to do it is to pull the electric plug.

  • Screen light stays on iphone4

    I have noticed that whenever I use my phone ,the screen light stays on until I manually switch off.
    Can anyone suggest how to rectify it?

    Take the case off. It's interfering with the proximity sensor. There is no "setting" that will fix this.

  • The optical drive red light stays on, no sound in OS X, the car charger not working

    The optical drive red light stays on, no sound in OS X, the car charger not working, I think that its all tied to 1 error or 1 issue, maybe something to do with the boot camp file?
    Any ideas ?

    Hi S,
    There is a switch inside the audio jack that may be stuck. Try gently inserting, wiggling, removing the audio plug.
