Iphone 4 randomly shut off after trying to end a call now it wont turn back on. Please help

I've had my phone for almost 2 years now (my contract is over next month). I was getting a call answered it and after I said goodbye I tried ending the call and the screen was just black. I waited a few minutes tried pressing the home button nothing,tried reseting it and again nothing its currently on the charger and I'm just going to give it a litttle time before trying to reset again. Thanks for your time

Hello there, John.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some good steps for troubleshooting the issue you're describing:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Display shows a white screen
After finishing a call the display remains black
If the iPhone is in a protective case, remove it from the case.
If there is a protective or antiglare film on the display, remove the film.
Clean the screen, especially around the receiver, with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...

  • Iphone 4 turned off and wont turn back on.Please HELP!!

    iphone 4 turned off and wont turn back on. It's battery was at 98-100% and was plugged into my computer via charging cable and was charging fine. I unplugged it and plugged it back in a couple different times while trying to turn it on and it wont even show a charging sign. It's blacked out I can't do anything. Please help!!

    There is nothing that anyone can do to cause the problem you have except to get the phone wet. If that happened then the phone probably needs to be replaced.
    It will not show anything when you connect to the charger, but still leave it connected for 15 minutes, then hold both buttons.

  • My phone crashed after trying to update it and it wont turn back on please help!

    I tried to update my iPhone 4 to the new iOS 7.0.2 but my phone said it needed to restore everything so i tried to do that and now it crashed. The screen is the Itunes screen saying its connected but i held down the home button trying to get it to turn on or something but it wont. I tried to go to Computer and go to iPhone but its not there and I disconnected and plugged it back in trying to get the window where you can upload photos i tried to get that up but it wont come up. Please I have no idea what I am doing and any advice would be helpful

    it says iPhone can not be restored   I dont know what else to do i have tried restoring it two times already...

  • Iphone4 turned off out of the blue.. and now it wont turn back on.. what should i do???

    I recently got my iphone and its been working fine.. till today.. i was checking my mail and the phone went black. its been like that for the past hour and it doesnt seem to trun on.
    please help!!

    Assuming the battery didn't die, try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

    Hello Apple3041
    That error usually relates to security software blocking access to the iTunes servers. Check out the articles below for more info and what to do to resolve the issue.

    My iPhone 3Gs randomly shutting off at any given moment. I could be in the middle of a text, a call, or doing some games and it'll just shut off.
    Now here's the unique part. When I go to turn it back on, the apple loading screen pops up but it takes somewhere from 3-5 minutes for it to boot up. Then the lock screen with the time and whatnot shows up. From this point on, my iPhone has a chance to shut itself back down and I have to repeat the process over and over again. Most of the time the lock screen flashes and then goes straight to black (shut down) but sometimes I can make it a few menus before it shuts itself down.
    The only way to keep the iPhone on is to plug it into a charger of any sort. I'm fairly certain it isn't a battery charge issue because this happens at any % of power and sometimes my iPhone can use up all of its charge and not have this happen while other times I can be at 90-100% and it could randomly shut itself down. What can I do in this situation if some has some solution to this problem please let me know on [email protected] Thanks!

    Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.

  • Final Cut Pro Randomly Shutting off after Minutes

    Every time I open FCPX and begin editing it randomly shuts off after about 3-4 minutes. Regardless of what I am doing. I get no wheel or anything, it just shuts off clean. I am running the most recent update to Lion, FCPX 10.1 with 8GB of ram... this is really frustrating. Any thoughts?

    #44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
    Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
    If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
    1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the appropriate version of FCP Rescue at http://www.fcprescue.com and run it.
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/trashing_fcpprefs.html
    2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
    3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
    4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

    Hey p0507!
    Here is an article that addresses your error message, and can help you troubleshoot this issue:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Configure your security software
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.

    I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
    I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more.  And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should.  On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much.  I will post a note in the app store to let them know.  I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
    I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine. 
    Starbucks app works as it should. 
    I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

    Hi alicia243,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone wont power on, I recommend going through these steps first:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Best,
    Jeremy
