IPhone stuck on lock screen? Buttons don't work?

So, 11 minutes ago, I guess, I was just opening my iPhone 4 and the slider got stuck at the end. Now no buttons work, nor the touch screen, and it still says 6:18 pm...now it's 6:30. The slider is still at the very right of the bar, as though it's about to open, but it isn't. I tried plugging it in to my computer with the USB and it says in iTunes that is "cannot connect to iPhone because there is an invalid response" or something like that. So I have no idea what to do.... SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME! I need to use the phone immediately! I can't do a single thing!

Reset the iPhone, hold at same time both the Home and Power buttons for about 15 seconds, the iPhone will turn off by itself and then it will turn on, done.

My iphone 5 get stuck in locked screen when two or more missed calls or messages shown on locked screen list

Hi bhagath1339,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
The first troubleshooting steps I would recommend in this situation would be restarting and if the issue continues, resetting the iPhone.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue continues after restarting and resetting, it may be necessary to restore your iPhone to isolate software versus hardware. Please follow the attached article if you need assistance restoring the device.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

After update to ios 7 my 4s gets stuck in lock screen

Every now and then my iphone 4s gets stuck in lock screen, I can't slide to unlock. The only way to solve the problem is to switch off and then on the iphone and then it works again.
Any clues?

Hi zzcool,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
To address this issue, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:
iOS: 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

A REPEATING CYCLE now i have No PHONE!!!! Help ME PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Try it...
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
i´ve done it and worked 100%
Good lucky

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?

My iPhone 4S Is stuck on Lock Screen for a month now, any resolutions?

You mean the passcode lock screen?
No, it's not faulty, it's just locked you out because you forgot your passcode.

Stuck on Lock Screen

Dear Sirs,
I have a problem that happens frequently for me on my iPhone 4S with IOS7 latest updates, the problem that I stuck on the lock screen (I can't slide to unlock), I still can open the control center from down screen, or openning the Today from top screen, most of the times that happens after canceling a call by pressing the power button twice, the only way to access the device is to power off then restart again.
That also happened with me for iphone 4 with IOS 6 and iPhone 3G
Appreciating your support as it's very annoying.
Bahaa

Have you tried resetting your iPhone?
Reset your iPhone by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPhone will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
Good luck and do report back.

IPhone stuck on off screen

I tried turning of my iPhone 3G off and now it is stuck on the screen with the timer waiting to finally shut off. It has been on this screen for a while now. I just wanted to restart my phone. What do I need to do to finally shut it off?

To restart: Press and hold the sleep/wake button until you see the red slider then swipe to power off. Then press and hold the sleep / wake button until you see the Apple logo.
To turn it off press the sleep / wake button then swipe the slider to power off.
If that doesn't help, try here > iPhone: Frozen and unresponsive

Are you using the SIM that came with the iPhone?
Try re-seating the SIM as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1438
Did this happen when you attempted to update the iPhone? Have you used any 3rd party software to unlock the iPhone?

Slide for Emergency - Stuck on Lock Screen

Recently on my new iPhone 6, I noticed that the battery percentage was not going down with the use of my device. I held the lock button to power off, and I turned the phone back on. When I saw the lock screen, the time was not being displayed and the "Slide to Unlock" prompt was changed to the "Slide for Emergency" prompt. After sliding to input my passcode before Touch ID could work, my passcode would not allow me to access my phone and instead, my phone vibrated once and sent me back to the slide to unlock screen. These screens seem to be very glitchy, often times not responding to wake button presses or home button presses. The screen will also often go black for no reason. My device is running iOS 8.1.2 without any jailbreaks. I've already tried turning it off and back on, and holding the lock and home buttons at the same time.
Any help would be appreciated

Try the following testing after each step
- Reset the device. Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

IPad Stuck on lock screen (4th Gen)

Hi All,
I have a iPad 4th Generation - Late 2012 edition. In the last few weeks it has been getting stuck on the lock screen more and more.
I lock the iPad in the usual way, but when I swipe to unlock it nothing happens - I have attached a photo and a video of the problem can be downloaded from https://www.amazon.co.uk/clouddrive/share/bgDUnkJz_3yAdCV947xoFai7hn-ZjLML0sJ4Es mJGoY
The only way to get it to work is to totally power down the iPad and turn it back on.
I have done a full restore on iTunes, but it's still doing it.
Can anyone help at all?
Thanks alot,
Keith

sorry - I meant to say it's running iOS 8.1.1 and has 2.9gb free space.
Thanks
