Iphone freeze on settings screen

Iphone 4S
IOS 7.1.1
Capacity 13 GB
Available 2 GB
1) My iphone freezes when I go on settiings screen.
2) iphone does not recognize my usual home wifi.
3) when freeze, I try to turn off iphone. it does not turn off.

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

  • IPhone freezes on lock screen!

    well this is my 2nd iPhone
    my phone will be on the locked screen and will go through the highlight of "slide to unlock" but then the second time it will freeze on the S
    i have no idea why it does this. it happend on my firsy phone and i thought it was a defect...
    so when it freezes, it stays like that for about 10 seconds then the screen shuts off then i do the same thing again but i have to slide my finger across before it freezes.. then it goes to home screen and stays frozen for about 10-12 seconds...
    i have a 8gb iPhone and about 3 gigs full, so i have no idea what it is
    any help guys? thanks

    I am posting my question here as your reported issue sounds similar to mine.  After I updated iOS to the latest version, 4.3.5, I experienced screen freezing at least twice yesterday.  When I was trying to unlock my iPhone 4, the scroll bar did not work any longer on the password entry screen.  I had to press the reset key each time.  On another note, I started seeing a strange screen, (I would call it "noise.") abruptly from time to time 3 months after I purchased my iPhone.  The problem with this issue is I have not been able to reproduce the issue.  It has been seen while I was in the middle of a phone conversation, dialing a phone number, checking email, etc.  It is very unpredictable and when the noise screen shows up, it is impossible to see the screen as to where I was once.  The noise screen shows thousands of vertical lines with faded green as underline tone.

    Downloaded new iOS for iPhone 5. Now the handset is running hot, keeps freezing on different screens, won't charge on official charger ( only charges on crap poundland one) and battery is loosing 1% every two minutes! I've closed all apps and reset the complete phone but no luck. Any one know what else I can try apart from a new phone?

    I have done a factory reset at 45% battery. After the reset it's still hot and at 35% now

  • HT4528 hi, my iPhone is already completely updated and I want my iMessages to go to my phone number, however my phone number shows up on the settings screen for that, but will not let me select it to be used. How do I fix that?

    Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
    Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
    The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
    Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
    I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
    One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
    Thanks for your comments.

  • IPhone 5 screen is flickering randomly, the phone freezes and the screen turns black.

    I bought an iPhone 5 in New York last December. Now I live in Bogotá, Colombia and I can't find an authorized service center because they said that only if I bought it from a local carrier they attend the warranty.
    My iPhone 5 screen is flickering randomly, the phone freezes and the screen turns black… The only way to make it work is to reboot with Home and Lock buttons pressed at the same time. But in the process most of the times it flickers again, and again, and again. I couldn't find a reason to identify what could be causing the issue. Also sometimes when it freezes, some group applications get ungrouped, causing a big mess.
    I already tried to restore the phone, remove the SIM, delete all applications with no luck.
    Any sugestion? Thanks!

    Was this phone ever jalbroken?
    If restoring as new, without using a backup, didn't help, there is certainly a hardware problem that only replacement can fix.  Your warranty is void unless you return to the USA.  Short of that, finding a local independent iPhone repair center would be your only option

  • My iphone is stuck on the settings screen but the home button and lock and power buttons wont work. I can navigate through my settings but can't get out of them or turn off my phone.

    My iphone is stuck on the settings screen and the home and lock buttons wont work. I can navigate through the settings but canot go home or turn orr or reset my phone. Please help):

    I had the same situation with my iPod touch 5th gen. You can manually reboot it thru pressing sleep/wake button and holding it up to 10 secs - no data will be lost.. This didn't work in mine, but to some it did..
    If it won't work, you could do what I did which is I reset all settings in the Reset part. It won't lose any data, just the settings (if you have just less settings did to the device, which I had). So just configure or tweak things again in the settings when it reset again.
    Hope this somehow helps!

    iphone 5 freezes on lock screen

    I reset my phone everytime my phone freezes but did not do the following steps. I will try and let you know. Thing to note here is, this never happened before ios7. I also noticed, freezing often happens with a bunch of "whatsapp" messages showing up on my locked screen. I have disabled that feature to see if it solves the problem. Thanks for taking time to reply.

  • Settings screen is blank on iPhone 4

    My settings screen is black when I try to access my settings.

    turn your phone off by holding the power button until it prompts you to power off. Then turn it back on.
    This will reset your springboard and hopefully get that screen back.
    You can also plug it into a computer and in iTunes hit "Restore". this should also fix it, make sure you back up your stuff too.

  • IPhone 4 is stuck in the settings screen.  Cant even power off

    I was in settings deleting apps to free up space to do iOS 7 update, and now my phone is stuck in the settings screen.  I can maneuver through all the setting options, but can't get ack to my phone.  I can't power the phone off either.  Has anyone else encountered this problem and know how to troubleshoot?

    A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
