IPhone 6 screen locked up while on call

My iPhone 6 screen locked up while I was on a call - the screen went black and all buttons/touchscreen was unresponsive. I had just upgraded to iOS 8.1 earlier this morning and placed a call. I was put on hold and wanted to hang up when I noticed my screen was black. No buttons would work, so I took it out of my case and tried again with no luck. I finally got it to shut down from holding the Home & On/Off buttons simultaneously. Anyone else have this problem?

I had a similar problem. I will be talking on the phone and next thing I know the screen is black & unresponsive. The apple logo comes up and than the call continues. I am not sure what is causing this but it has happened several times to me AND has also happened to a friend of mine.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
iPhone 6, iOS 8.1

IPhone 4 locking up during a call

I have had a problem with my iPhone 4 locking up during a call. Typically I'm bored when talking to some people. I'll put it on speaker and then browse the internet. Often, but not always, the phone remains locked on the phone screen and I can't get the home screen or do really ANYTHING. For example, I was talking to someone and needed to go to my calendar to schedule something. It would not let me leave the phone screen.
Also I often will end a call or have the call end and the phone screen remains in the foreground offering me the red bar at the bottom to end the call until I click on the home screen.
Anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix?

I just received my iphone 4 yesterday. I had the same problem. I upgrade the os to 4.02 and still the same problem. I read some of the posts and decided to test the theory about the proximity sensor. I have a griffin case on my phone. When the phone is in the case, the proximity sensor doesn't function correctly and it locks up. When its out of the case it works just like it should. I called myself on my office phone and moved the phone back and forth from my face. Once the screen blanks when the phone is in the case, the only way to get it to unlock is to pull it out of the case. But if I use the phone without the case, I have no problem at all it works flawlessly. It blanks when I put it near my face and immediately unlocks when I take it away. I hope the free case from apple will solve this problem because I am paranoid that I will drop my phone without the case and destroy it.

My iphone screen locked i forget my password how to open my iphone 4s

my iphone screen is locked i am forgot password how to open my phone please help me

Hello BobyJacob,
It sounds like the passcode is forgotten and you cannot get into your iPad. You can use the following article to help reset that passcode:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.
If you have not synced your device to iTunes there is a section in the article for that as well.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

My screen locks up while playing words with friends..any idea why?

My screen goes dark while playing and I don't know why or how to fix it. It comes back eventually.

Just the game or the phone as a whole? My guess is you have a hardware failure but there are a few things you can try if it's software such as resetting your phone or doing a restore. To reset press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons for about 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo reappears. To restore do a backup before proceeding:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

N97 screen lock hangs after reciving call

RM-505 V11.0.021

Yes, the phone will often hang if you answer a call by sliding your finger across the screen. I suggest that you get used to unlocking your phone before you answer the call. There are so many people with this bug, that it's almost sure to be addressed in a future firmware update.

IPhone screen lock turns off app audio

Why does my This American Life app stop playing when I lock my iPhone screen? And how can I make it keep playing? Is there a setting somewhere that I can change? It's annoying to have to keep touching the screen so it will keep playing!

Wait, I just realized this only happens when I'm streaming audio -- I'm trying it now at home, with a WiFi connection, and it keeps playing after the screen locks.

IPhone screen lock

Can I lock iPhone screen myself? I find I have used my phone, put it back in my pocket and I have dialled someone unintentionally. Minimum screen time lock is 1 minute

Push the button on the top of the phone.

Locking phone while on call

I cannot tell you how many times I've hung up on someone when trying to lock my phone while on a call. Sometimes I can lock it no problem without hanging up and other times it hangs up.
Does anyone know if there's a trick to prevent this from happening?
Thanks in advance

Running iOS 7.0.6 (11B651).
headset plugged in: the sleep/wake button does not hangup the call anymore.
handset only:
phone not yet locked: the sleep/wake button ends the call.
phone has locked: the sleep/wake button turns on the display; enter unlock code to unlock or use fingerprint sensor; (click top green bar to get back to the call in case you're in an app or on the home screen) click "end call"
clearly an iPhone is not a phone, or not really meant to be used as one. for all the hype around the great design gods at Apple I was disappointed. I want to make calls and I want to be able to hang up.
speed dialing requires more clicks (get to home screen, click phone, select favorites, click number) compared to other OSes (get to home screen, click shortcut icon (Android); long-press key (BB))
once the phone locks I have to enter my passcode to unlock the phone and hang up. I understand the security aspects of this, probably helpful in corner cases. But it also means for me to "prepare to say good by" ahead of time. I would rather like to pay full attention to my other party, though, and not start fiddling around with my phone.
Since I am using an iPhone as many of my counterparts do, too, I now understand the awkward 5 second silence after "hanging up" -- which you didn't yet! -- to fiddle around with the lock screen. And oh woe if you try and unlock it with your fingerprint, then good luck and make that 15 seconds.
[EDITED]: btw, there is not even a section in the manual how to simply end a call. There is a section on how to deal with a second incoming call, but nothing like the list above.

IPhone 4 locks up while updating to iOS 4.3.2

My iPhone 4 (GSM; AT&T) just had the first major problem that I have ever encountered with my iPhone. While updating my phone to iOS 4.3.2 from an iMac (early 2006; Snow Leopard 10.6.7/iTunes 10.2.1), it hung on the update screen for 30 minutes, locked up, and could not reset or shut down. When I tried to plug the frozen iPhone back into my Mac, it wouldn't connect to iTunes at all - the iPhone was completely frozen.
I also own an iPad, and it updated to iOS 4.3.2 without any issues whatsoever.
Has anyone else experienced this problem when updating their iPhones to iOS 4.3.2?

Yes this happened to me as well.
I went to download the new software today and my iphone4 froze.
I have the white apple on my screen ( when you turn on your phone) it has not gone away. its been almost an hour now.
I pressed the top button and the home button at the same time like apple support said to do. the white apple disappeared and reappeared a few seconds later.
i dont know what to do !!

Hey guys, my iphone screen locks and sometimes it even prompts to be turned off. It's as if the buttons are stuck, but it doesn't feel like they are. Anyone got any clues on how to fix it?

Hey guys, i am having a little problem with my iphone 5 running on ios 7.1.1. My screen keeps locking and unlocking by itself and sometimes even prompts to power off. It makes it look like the power button is stuck but its not, this started after the phone hitting the floor some days ago. Kindly help me resolve this problem

Probably a hardware problem due to the fall. To rule out a software issue, set it up as new device, explained here:

Can I stop the pop up screen to show while receiving call ?

Hello,
When I paired my car kit (handfree) with my iPhone, the pop up screen will show up when I receiving a call ...
http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/iphone/iphone-bluetooth-not-much-but-whats-there-is-c harming-274068.php
Asking me whether I would like to use - handfree, iPhone speaker or iPhone. Can I set the handfree as a default without making the choice?
Thanks

When using a headset, answering a call from it is as simple as pushing the ANSWER button on the headset. The call should then be answered and the source automatically set to BT headset. No need to select the source using the iPhone. I suspect there is an ANSWER button on car hands-frees, but I don't know for sure, since I don't own one.

IPhone screen cuts out on phone calls

When I finish a call, the screen often goes black and I cannot get it back on. After a few minutes, it comes back on. Also, when I listen to a voice message, it goes black and I cannot delete the message. I have reset the iPhone, but it doesn't make any difference.

do not use the original iphone case because the location of the proximity sensor on orginal and iphone 3G is different.
so if you have bought the orgiginal iphone case, just ditch that and go buy a case made for iphone 3G.

My iphone screen doesnt shut while on the phone

my screen doesnt shut off while im talking on the phone while im talking on the phone my ears click things and add other people to the call how do i fix my screen

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
Also, have you tried different chargers to see if the issue is specific to the charger? It's possible a faulty charger could cause some of the issues.

Firmware 1.1.2: Locking phone while on call problem

I had upgraded my iPhone to firmware 1.1.2. This caused many problems so I had it swapped out by a Mac Genius. I recieved a new phone and recently upgraded it. I am having the same problems. When Im on a call and press the Sleep/Wake button, instead of locking the phone, it ends the call. Somebody try this please and tell me the result. I may have to contact Apple so they can fix this. Its rediculous! I do remember when I originally updated to 1.01 and 1.02 I expierienced this. I dont know why this happens. Please advise. (Ive already restored/reset/reboot AND REPLACED!) Thanks

1st. Please stop bothering the people at apple with this issue
2nd. The phone cannot and should not be changed to lock itself when you are on a regular call. The only way to lock the phone during a call is when you are using the headset/speaker.
