IPhone 5 unresponsive screen, have to lock and unlock to fix
HI PEOPLE, i have the following problem, i bought the iPhone 5 white 32 gb , 4 monts ago, the problem started this week, my touch screen dont respond somethimes, but everything else works, like the home button, volume keys, etc. the solution is lock and unlock to get it working again, but in question of minutes starts failing, i did a restore 3 times and a DFU restore just in case, im really worried because i live in argentina,i went to North America for the winter,and i cant go back to EE.UU to get a replacement, please help , for what i think its not a hardware problem, because it works really well, when it works,but i dont know.
OK I GOT IT, i hace the solution, my iPhone was running out of ram, so it freezes and I need to lock and unlock to free a little bit of it so it can work again, but the ram goes low in seconds, I used an app called BatteryDoctor, it has a free ram option and now it works flawlessly.

Hi siddharth1987,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your iPhone lock screen is white and you cannot unlock your iPhone. To begin troubleshooting, I would suggest resetting your device. To reset your iPhone, please follow the steps outlined in the attached article.

I bought an iphone from ebay however it is locked and i only have the email address but they wont reply to me. What can i do??
If the seller will not respond, contact Ebay and report the fraud. The device is most likely stolen.

I got my iPhone 4S and I think I have a problem with it. Sound when locking and unlocking is quiet compared with other iPhone 4S. I compared it with others and really is a little quiet. Other people have confirmed it too. Other sounds may be better. No problem tones, watching videos. This problem or is it something normal?
I have this problem too, but it is intermittent. Sometimes the lock/unlock volume will drop to barely-audible, even though in settings the volume slider hasn't changed. If I then move the volume slider, it fixes the problem and the lock sounds jump back to normal, but then later on the problem will happen again.

Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even though the iphone is in warranty.
iPhones do not have an international warranty. Warranty is valid only for the country of purchase. This is most likely because different countries require different iPhone models. Not reasonable to expect all countries to maintain stock for all models.

Hi my iphone 4 home screen keeps flashing on and off repeatdly. I will beonmy phone or in an app and it will go to a black screen and then light up to the home screen. Then the power off option will pop up. I have tried letting it die and recharging it and powering it off neither worked. Does any one have an idea on what this could be or what I can do?
If the Slide to Power Off option is coming up, that suggests your power button isn't working correctly and is sticking.
Best thing to do is bring the phone to an Apple store (make an appointment first) and have a Genius take a look at it.

How do you restore iphone 4S if you have been locked out?
How do you restore iphone 4S if you have been locked out?
I am totally stupid here, can anyone speak plain english??? It is not accepting the ONE PASSCODE that i created. This all happened after i upgraded to the fricken latest whatever they say we need to do. This is the first time in over a year of having this phone that this has happened.
I tried to follow posts and connected to my computer with i tunes. The computer did it's thing and i am still locked out. Other than throwing this fricken phone and getting an android, what do i do and please, i am not up to all your jargon so you have to really spell it out for me.
Thank you
Very frustrated and aggravated since i upgraded to that ios stuff, the phone was just fine before that. -
I do not find Airdrop logo on my iphone also the location services are locked and cannot be changed.
I am using an iPhone 5S 64GB 7.1.2 version installed.
I do not find Airdrop logo on my iphone also the location services is locked and cannot be changed.Have you tried a Reset: Hold down the home and sleep buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.
If that didn't work try a Restore from your backup in iTunes. If that fails Restore it as a new iPhone in iTunes.
And if all the above fail, you do not have an employer profile on your iPhone, and there are no Restrictions set, get it serviced. -
using iPad 2 - if i use the slide switch to lock rotation, i cannot unlock rotation, unless i use it to mute sounds. i can't therefore have unmuted sounds and unlocked rotation at the same time??
Uh .... Yes you can. You just have to understand how the whole thing works.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

I started updating my iPhone 3gs but now it is locked and sim is not being recognized by the set
Sounds like you had the phone hacked to work on a network other than what the phone was originally locked to. When you updated the software on the phone it reverted back to the lock which makes your sim unusable.

Every time I want to sync my iphone to itunes I have to uninstall and reinstall itunes on my pc. It will only ever find the phone once, then I need to go through this all over again.
How can I solve this?You'll have to do it by process of elimination. Sign into the iTunes Store through the App Store app, go to the Purchased section, and look at the list of apps purchased through your own Apple ID. Anything on your iPhone not in that list isn't yours and should be deleted. The same process would apply to content from the iTunes Store.
Or you can just restore the iPhone from your most recent backup and then redownload everything from the iTunes Store. But if you have a lot of apps or content, that obviously wlll be slow.
I updated my iphone by his ID , is it still problem?
That's probably how you got your friend's purchases. It won't be an issue for iOS, but it is an issue for those apps and content.

I Lost my iphone. I dont have mobile me and I dont have find iphone. Is there a way of finding it?
Lost my iphone. I dont have mobile me and I dont have find iphone. Is there a way of finding it? Thank you.
But the app has nothing to do with enabling tracking on the lost device. To enable tracking of a device you do need a mobileme account in order to turn on the tracking feature so you can then find the lost device with either a computer and web browser or the app (running on another device).

I'm assuming the OP meant that he had not enabled the tracking on the device.
