Iphone screen is locked

I tried to make a call using "recent calls", but the screen is locked. I can't scroll the recent calls list, and I can't switch to either contacts or keypad. Seems to need a reboot of some sort.

If you want to do a "hard reboot/reset" which is basically a forced power off/on. It will not hurt your phone and you will not lose any data. To do a hard reboot, hold the home and sleep buttons together until the Apple logo appears. You should have to hold them just over ten seconds.

Unable to cut any call while my iPhone screen has locked

I can cut any call when my iPhone screen is not lock but unable to cut any call while my iPhone screen has locked otherwise I have to receive the call. I always need to lock my iPhone screen and also I want to accept a call and same way to deny but I cant.

Pressing the on/off button twice quickly will decline the call and send it directly to voicemail.

My iphone screen stays locked in a magnified position

my iphone screen stays locked in a magnified position. Any icon fills 30% of the entire screen. I have tried resetting without any success. I also restored my phone using iTunes and the problem still persists.
Any idea of what is wrong?

You probably have Zoom on... double tap with three fingers.

I cannot receive phone calls or messages when iPhone screen is locked

Hello,
i have an iPhone 5.
i Am unable to receive phone calls or text messages when my screen is locked. When I unlock the screen the missed call doesn't even appear so I have no idea anyone has called me. Text messages come through at about 12:30am every night.
i Have tried EVERYTHING I could find in forums and Apple trouble shooting. This is my last resort other than sending it to Apple.
iit is as if "do not disturb" is stuck on, but it isn't.
i Have tried:
changing all all do not disturb settings.
checked call forwarding etc.
checked mute
my silent button is not on.
i have reset every setting and then even reset the phone and manually transferred everything back onto it rather than restore It from previous back ups.
oout it in recovery mode.
i Have no success with any.
the weird part is when I first lock the screen and try to call it, it does ring. But if I give it a minute or more it won't ring.
does anyone have any ideas or anything that may help?
PLease, please, please

I Have also checked blocked numbers and swapped SIM cards from a completely different carrier so it's not the carrier either

IPhone screen is locked. Unable to slide open?

My phone wored last night but after charging last night, the screen is locked.

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Iphone screen is locked, cannot access home screen

In the restoring process, it stopped and created at message about encountering a problem and could not restore. Then a picture of a usb cable pointing to am arrow, then pointing to the iTunes logo. I've tried all the steps recommended by iTunes to fix this problem...nothing has worked. This is my husband's phone so I'm in big trouble.

If you are trying to restore the phone and it would because it has a lock on the screen you can turn the phone off unplug it but leave itunes up. Then hold the home button and then plug in the home keep holding the home button and it should bring a message up in itunes say iphone in recovery mode restore .

My iPhone screen keeps locking up but phones appears to still be powered...

Sometimes when I get off a call or close out of an application, the screen on my phone will go black. The phone will still be powered on as this has happened when someone was calling me and it was vibrating due to the ring. I've tried to hold down the power button to power the phone off but instead of giving me the slide option to turn it off, it does nothing. Sometimes it will stay black for a few seconds, other times a few hours. I've tried plugging it into my pc and connecting to iTunes, plugging it into the wall socket as if I'm charging it, and even plugging it into a car charger to see if this would somehow reset the screen and nothing. Any suggestions? I've only had the iPhone for about 8 months and other than this, completely love it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tap tap, is this thing on? Anyone else have any issues similar to this?

IPhone Screen Rotation lock

Upgraded my phone and a new rotation lock icon appeared at the top. Finally figured out how to turn it off.
Double click menu key and move icons to left and it will expose the rotation lock icon. Just press. Easy once you know where it is.

Double tap phone button and slide icons over to expose iPod controls. There is a rotation icon. Just press and "Shazzam" unlocked.

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

Lock iphone screen with apple logo

My iphone screen is lock and it displays the apple log and won't turn off.

My 3Gs did the same thing this last week - I thought it was a goner, but after it completely discharged, I was able to restore it using iTunes.
Maybe this will help, maybe not. It is a difficult thing to show patience with this device!

After I upgraded iPhone4 to iOS5.0.1, the iPhone screen was shown a picture which request me to connect it to iTunes. I can do nothing on my phone includes dialing emergency call.

After I upgraded my iPhone4 to iOS 5.0.1, the iPhone screen was locked and it has shown a picture which requested me to connect my iPhone to iTunes. My iPhone can do nothing now.
I've tried to deleted my iTunes and downloaded the latest version. However, when I plugged in my iPhone4, the plug-in sound is different from before and it cannot be detected by iTunes.
Please kindly help.

So whenever you plug the iPhone into the USB port your computer doesn't recognize it???? At all?? Can you check on the hardware of your pc if by any chance is the USB being detected; like it will appear and then diss connect from the pc, just to check and make sure that something is changing, of nothing occurs I will doubt on the cable, you can get one and then return it if it's not the case.
If it is detected then did you backup the iPhone? If so you may need to rollback the change.
Please try!
Good luck

How can I get the screen to lock on my iPhone 4, so I don't press buttons while talking?

I just upgraded to the iPhone 4. When I am talking on the phone, the screen doesn't lock, so I am constantly pressing buttons or hanging up on the person I'm talking to. How can I get the screen to lock while I'm talking? It's driving me NUTS.

The otterbox is one of the culprits. Take the phone out of the case and see if it still happens. If so it is not the case. If the problem goes away, then you may need to make the hole slightly larger. My family has three iPhone 4's in otterboxes and none have this problem. Other users on this forum have reported success with the above methods.

How do I find out who my iPhone 4S is locked to? I can't get passed the activation screen.

How can you not know this? Where did you get the phone?
Ask whoever you bought it from or call AppleCare and give them the serial number.
