Iphone randomly stopped working when i got up?

lock button won't work, phone will not turn off only go into a 'seizure' of black screen with apple logo. restored iphone 3g. and synced everything back onto it fine. also it's fully charged/can still text/call when plugged in. as well when i plug it in it shows the power off slide. and when i check for updates it tells me i have non and i'm up to date.
i know it's an iphone 3 or 3g , but not to sure

I've had a similar thing happen to my new iPhone 4S three times. It gets hot and doesn't respond to either button -- the screen remains completely off. I have to hold down both buttons for awhile until the Apple appears and then everything seems fine... until it happens again. Once it happened overnight, so I missed  my alarms. Another time, it was while I was at dinner.
Always it happens when the iPhone is on standby with the screen off and nothing particular happening with it. The iPhone 4S is brand new, hasn't been dropped, hasn't been messed with in any way.
Is there a way I can get a trace of what happened before I reset it? The system log (visible in "System Status" and other apps) starts with the reset, so it doesn't help here.

  • My itunes sync stopped working when I got the new iphone.  How to fix it?

    My Iphone 4 worked great.  It synced with my itunes perfectly. I;d buy a song on my computer and moments later it would also show up on my iphone.  I thought I configured all the boxes correctly when I got the new iphone but now the wifi sync feature seems to have stopped working.  I went back and checked and it appears all the right boxes are checked but still no sync.  When I go to wifi sync in settings it says it has to be plugged in, locked and the home comuter available.  I tried that and it still wont wifi sync.  Not sure what I am doing wrong.  Help please.

    Stopped working as in it's totally unresponsive?
    Try restarting. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.

  • Itunes 9 music player randomly stops working when I'm checking out music

    Before I buy something I like to sample it first. And I can do that most of the time. But every once is awhile it will stop working in the middle of a song. Then it won't work at all anymore. If anyone knows the solution please tell me. Or if there was maybe someone in apple that I could get a hold of too. That would be great. Thanks.

    First I would try this
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Next remove the Apple software using the instruction above and install a previous version. You can Google to find the previous versions

    I took my iPhone to the Service center of M/s RSG INFOTECH PRIVATE LIMITED on April 17, 2014.
    Why are you posting in this forum about what occured with an independent service provider?  How is is at all relevant to Apple??  In fact, service by any person or business not authorized by Apple voids any waranty.

  • My iPhone just randomly stopped working

    Hi everyone, was wondering if anyone has been having this problem.
    What happened was, when i was listening to music on my iStation at home the music randomly stopped, i thought i maybe the iStation stopped working but it turned out that my iPhone had stopped working. I tried to turn the iPhone back on but it didn't work.
    After freaking out for about twenty minutes the screen turned on. It was the screen that appears the first time the iPhone is turned on saying to connect it to iTunes. I did this and restored it and it's working now but i lost many new contacts and many important calender dates.
    Just wanted to know if this has happened to anyone else and if i should be worried that it will do it again.
    Thanks

    I suggest subscribing to mobile me because when you enter a new contact or calendar event it automatically goes to the mobile me server and when you do have to restore your phone those contacts come back as soon as you enter your mobile me information. That was great when I upgraded to the IP4 because until I got home I had all my contacts on my phone without syncing to my computer.

  • Sound randomly stops working on Iphone 5c

    The sound randomly will stop working. (ringers, audio, etc.) I have had this phone for one day.
    Oddly enough, the same thing was going on with my iphone 5 which is a big reason I went and upgraded, now i am just very aggravated!
    Anyone know what could be going on??

    I have the same problem with my new 5c, seemingly carried over from when I upgraded from my old 3s that had the same problem - all sounds randomly stop working (although vibrate seems to still work) and then randomly start working again.
    When you set up your new phone did you 'restore' from your old phone's back-up or set it up completely like a new phone? I did the former so I assume whatever the 'glitch' is, it may be something to do with that.
    I called 1-800-MYIPHONE and was advised to do a hard reset - I questioned the point of that when I effectively started from scratch with my new phone only a few weeks ago (well, when I say from scratch I of course mean I 'restored' from my old phone's back-up so that all my stuff would carry over...), plus given the coincidence of having the same problem on my old phone... Next guidance was to restore the phone to factory settings and start over from 'new phone' status, which I did this afternoon... so far so good but we shall see. Here's a link to the guide on how to do it if you want to give it a whirl:

  • I have a problem with my iPhone 5 stopped working the sleep / power and simultaneously refused to obey the HOME button. I can not use either one or the other. I can not enable or disable the device, display lights up when you plug the charger. same displa

    I have a problem with my iPhone 5 stopped working the sleep / power and simultaneously refused to obey the HOME button. I can not use either one or the other. I can not enable or disable the device, display lights up when you plug the charger. same display works fine as it is surprising. or maybe someone knows what is the reason for this? is there any way to solve this problem?

    More than likely its a hardware issue, I have never encountered such a problem and best bet is to just go get it replaced. If you have insurance on your device apple will replace it as long as there was no water damage, if you dont have insurance they will charge $200 more or less. Hope you get it fixed

  • My iPhone 5s sounds stop working.i did not do anything it just stop working when I tried to turn on my music player all the sounds is not working I already check the volume and it is not also muted :( what happened can anyone solve my prob

    Hello everyone my iPhone 5s sounds stop working.i did not do anything it just stop working when I tried to turn on my music player all the sounds is not working I already check the volume and it is not also muted :( what happened can anyone solve my problem please

    Hey Kirby17,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you are not getting any sound from the speaker, follow this article.
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • ALWAYS unresponive to my iphone. Just stops working when I plug it in. downloaded older version, newer version.....use my iphone for my pdf book in college.....this is just ridiculous....

    ALways love my iphone. Now itunes is ALWAYS unresponive to my iphone. Just stops working when I plug it in. downloaded older version, newer version.....use my iphone for my pdf book in college.....this is just ridiculous....

    Downloaded older version and newer version of what. Any attempts to downgrade iOS are not allowed. Also, using iTunes with the latest iOS and iTunes requires the latest version.
    I suggest that you remove and reinstall iTunes using this support document. You need to follow the steps exactly or you will just create more problems, which I think you already have. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923

    Hi Anis289,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    As a first step, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:
