IPhone 5 froze and unresponsive

Reading the communication regarding my issue, I understand that I can use the lock and home button to reset however, it worries me that this may only worsen the issue if I don't let the apple have a look or replace it. I went to t mobile yesterday and it happen again. Since its a prepaid thing, she told me to get back to apple as it looks like its a defective item. Though I told her that I was able to restore it by pressing the home and lock button, she said but eventually it may get worse.
My iPhone was bought online last October 2012 through apple store in UK but I am now in US and would like this fixed. It's not even a year old phone :-(.
Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.

If that does not work then it looks like you may have damaged hardware components that cannot be repaired / recovered with the usual user level troubleshooting
Your best bet is to bring this to an Apple Store

My iphone froze and now it won't turn on or charge! Help please!

I downloaded a book app onto my phone, after trying to use it, it froze and the home button wouldn't work, so me being the idiot that I am decided that maybe if I locked it, it would work.. it didn't and so the phone went black, but it would still ring and play music (although I couldn't answer), and then once my music stopped playing, I couldn't turn it back on. Now, my phone has finally died and has been charging for about an hour, via the wall and now via the computer and it still hasn't turned on. Any suggestions?

Get the sleep button on your iPhone repaired.

My iPhone froze and is stuck on off screen with spinning wheel thing

My iPhone froze on the home screen. I finally got it turned off, but not all the way. Now it's just showing me that little spinning wheel thing and won't turn off all the way. I can't get it to do anything! Please help!!!

I found a solution through someone else's post. Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the apple appears and then let go. Easy as that!

Yesterday while downloading an app on my 3GS, my iPhone froze, and I switched it off to reboot. Following that, every few minutes, the screen will flicker and the phone will restart. What's wrong? And how should I fix it?

I recieved my iPhone 3GS around Christmas. It has been working great, until yesterday. I was downloading an app and suddenly my messaging froze. I couldn't view incoming messages, and every chat I clicked on displayed the same frozen dialogue with only the contact names different. (The app was supposedly reliable, I read over the reviews.) I rebooted my phone in hopes of fixing this, and everything seemed fine for a couple of minutes. Then the screen slightly flickered, and my phone restarted itself. Now, after turning on again, it continues to flicker and crash every few minutes, whether I'm using it or not. Can anyone tell me what could be wrong and how I can fix it?

Restore the Firmware with iTunes.
If still problem and you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take to Apple for resolution.
If no coverage, the next step would be battery replacement.

IPhone froze and now won't turn on

Hello, my iPhone 3 froze so I unplugged my charger and let it die. When I woke up the next morning it was off, so I shrugged it off and brought it to school to keep it safe. When I came home and went to charge it, the battery low sign didn't pop up and it seemed like it won't charge or turn on. My lock/off button is broken so that didn't work, and I tried around seven different chargers. Does anyone have a solution?

if the power button doesnt work not a lot of options to turn it on with or do a reset apple will do a out of warranty replace for 149$

Iphone froze and deleted all apps!!

My iphone was in the process of upgrading 4 apps. It froze while I was playing a game and after 10 mins, finally got it to turn off and on. When it came back on, all apps were gone except for the few that were upgrading. I tried turning it back off and on and still all apps are gone. My email and pics are still there but everything else is gone. Help!!!

Same here and it is ******* me off. I was in the middle of playing we farm and then it crashed and when it showed me my home screen I noticed all my apps were gone. Here I am trying to figure out what the **** happened so I rebooted and turned the phone off but nothing.
I then synced it iTunes and only one app was reinstalled but the rest remained "hidden."
As you mentioned, I also see that I have 4.1GB of other data on my phone and know that it is the missing apps. Problem is how do I get it all back?
Using phoneDisk, I went into the iphone's root folders and tried to locate these apps. I found them and notice that all but one was marked with a censored image or an error image. Tried to open them but my mac could not, it opened the native and one app just fine (using xcode and iPhone dev kit) but rest were treated as foreign extensions.
I have many backups since I like to have at least monthly backups but I am still concerned with the "other space." If I were to use an old back up to restore my phone would the space taken by other still remain?
This is a first in my 2 iphones I ever owned, lost lots of data and I don't know what directly caused it.

Iphone frozen and unresponsive

All of a sudden my iPhone screen went black, except for the top row that shows the time and battery life. When I try to shut it off it does not respond to my finger sliding the 'power off' bar, but it does respond to my finger touching it when it dims to go to sleep, and I tap it, it will light back up.
I can't restore it because it is jailbroken and I use it with t-mobile. Any tips?

Press and hold your top button and home button till you get the apple logo.
This will give it a hard reset.

Iphone Froze and stuck at apple logo in an infinate loop of reboots?

Hello I am not sure if this issue has been addressed. I recently had this problem, but it seems the topic has been archived so I cannot reply to it. I was able to restore and my phone has been working fine for a week, but am I to expect this to happen again?
Thanks for your help

Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black. Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in, any ideas?

Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black. Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in so I cannot restore or anything. Looks like the screen is on it's just unresponsive and black obviously. Has anyone had this problem? I was updating via wifi right in front of my router and my computer.

Spoke to a "senior advisor" in the Apple TV department. Her suggestions: change channel in router to minimize/eliminate wifi interference from other users; move router away from any metal - i.e., DVD player, phone modem, etc.; keep router away from wireless 2.4 gH phones, which are "notorious" for crashing wifi routers. So she confirms that the problem is one of connection to router suddenly dropping out.
My own feeling is that none of these fixes will do the trick, because it seems pretty clear that there is a hardware component here - the timing of the drops seems like an overheating issue. It takes 35-40 minutes for the box to warm up enough for the first drop; then each consecutive drop happens quicker than the one before, as it heats up more. Each time it drops, its tiny brain gets a little more scrambled; last night it finally wouldn't start up again at all.
My suggestion is that everyone who is experiencing this problem, please call Apple tech support and ask to speak to a senior advisor in the Apple TV department. Make them aware of this problem!

Hope someone can help!!

Hi mfiphone98,
If your iPhone is has a black screen, but you are hearing sounds and Siri, you may have inadvertantly activated an Accessibility feature known as Screen Curtains. You may find the following helpful (page 130):
Turn the screen curtain on or off. Triple-tap with three fingers. When the screen curtain is on, the screen contents are active even though the display is turned off.
