IPhone stuck in phone mode.

I need some insight! My iPhone will get stuck in phone mode, and i can't get out of it. This happened to my old iphone as well - but I just brought that one to the store and exchanged for this new one because the old one had water damage. This one - I got it yesterday. I will hit the home button from texting, and it will go straight to phone mode, and will not return to the home screen when I hit the home button. Anyone else have this problem? I need some help!
Thank you

Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Original iPhone Stuck in Phone Mode and Won't turn off

    I can only navigate in the phone mode - dialing out, messages, keypad, favorites, etc. and can't get back to the Home Screen when I push the button. Also, the phone will not turn off - only go into sleep mode when I press that button. When it comes back on, it goes back into Phone mode. Help

    Ugh dont even remind me about this issue...I bought my iPhone on a Thursday and by Saturday my iPhone started doing this. I could do nothing but stay in the phone mode, could not back out to home screen and all kinds of drama--eventually to where the phone wouold not even turn on. I took it back to the AT&T store and advised them the iPhone I had purchased 3 days prior and handed it to the sales person and he promptly advised me my iPhone was not turning on. I requested a replacement, as I had only owned the iPhone for less then 3 days. I was informed they would be happy to replace, but I would have to pay a re-stocking fee (40.00, after paying 500.00 for original- less then 3 days prior). I was dangerously close to a heart attack-lol. After several hours in store demanding a new phone, they made a call to the GM of the AT&T store, who happened to be on vacation. GM referred rep to Asst manager of the store; who it turns out was an old high school friend of mine. He exchanged the phone at no cost, which made me happy, but left a horrible taste in my mouth for AT&T. I guarantee if there was another provider, I would have (and maybe still) take my iPhone services somewhere else- as well as my second line of cell phone service for a family member. That was the worse case of cust service ball dropping I think I have even endured. It ranks up there close to my mobile me escapade, which finally was resolved.

  • Iphone stuck in emergency mode after downgrade from 4.0.2 to 4.0?

    iphone stuck in emergency mode after downgrade from 4.0.2 to 4.0?
    Upgraded to 4.0.2 last night. Immediately, itunes would no longer detect my iphone. Decided I had to downgrade back to 4.0 again. Learned I cannot do that easily, so i found a .ipsw file of firmware 4.0 online, and downloaded it. Started up my iphone attached to itunes in restore mode, held down shift, and clicked restore button. Successfully restored the 4.0 file I had downloaded.
    At the first boot, it was stuck in emergency mode. I even tried to restore the default itunes backup after that, it was still stuck in emergency mode.
    Anyone know how i fix this iphone? I have no interest in jailbreaks, i am in a 2 year contract with AT&T.

    omg, it just fixed itself! i installed a brand new itunes on my laptop (which has never had itunes app before)
    plugged in my iphone, it detected it right away and said "activated"! my phone is working again and has its phone number back.
    now i did notice that the 4.0 is indeed slow, so i do want to try going back to 3.1.3 also.

  • Iphone stuck in dfu mode after resoting with wrong BR

    iphone stuck in dfu mode after resoting with wrong BR

    Hi, my iPhone was water damaged, and was stuck in dfu but wouldn't restore due to error 2001, this is what I did,
    The phone is not jail broke or unlocked its straight, I striped the phone and cleaned all the boards and let them dry
    Out, I've heard that if an I-device has error remove the power supply for a few days, and since royal mail thought my battery was a packet of drugs they ript the back of and snapped the battery cable, I am perusing royal mail about the damage they have done, so I got a knew batt and put it all together, I pressed the on button and the home button for ten seconds, then web I started to boot I let go of the on button, waited for ten seconds and the phone came up as normal, no connect to I-tunes screen, I put the USB lead in and restored my phone to a bran new phone and then updated it to the latest firmware, the phone is fine, every thing works and it turns on and of with no problems, I hope this helps people out their.

  • Iphone stuck in recovery mode trying to update

    I was attempting to update to the new ios 8. I did this all in the normal way as i usually do. When it got to the extracting software at the top of the itunes screen it took about 1 hour for this to nearly reach the end. then just before it reached the end it stopped and said it could not be restored as the iphone could not be found. now the iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode and every time i connect it to itunes it says i need restore which i do and then the same thing keeps happening. it goes to extracting software bar for an hour and then stops just as it is about to finish.
    i have a laptop with windows xp and have installed latest itunes, i have attempted rebooting everything with no joy.
    please help.
    iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4

    Follow exactly what I wrote below to fix iPhone stuck in recovery mode:
    Hold both power button & home button for 10 seconds.
    Once the device shuts off release the power button and keep holding the home button for 10 more seconds.
    The screen will remain black, plug it up to iTunes and see if it detects it.
    If that does not work hold both buttons to make device shut down, once screen is off hold the home button while plugging it up to PC.
    Do not let go of home button till recovery screen shows up on your device.

    By "sos mode" do you mean recovery mode?  If so, you have to connect it to iTunes and restore it.

  • Iphone stuck in recovery mode, what now

    iphone stuck in recovery mode, what do i do now pls?

    Updating iTunes has nothing to do with an iDevice going into recovery mode.
    If the device is in recovery mode, restore it via iTunes on a computer.

  • IPhone - original model - stuck in phone mode

    My iPhone is stuck in the phone mode. I can switch from favorites, to recent, contacts, keypad and voicemail. But I cannot go to the Home page, nor can I turn the phone off. I've tried syncing it, by attaching to my laptop and that seemed to work, as some new photos went from the phone to iPhoto.
    Any advice, please?
    Geraldine

    Hard boot worked for me. I was having the same problem. I did not know of the hard boot feature though until now. Thanks. Apple better get that bug fixed and fast.

  • Iphone stuck in recovery mode and can't recover because "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"

    I have an iPhone 4S and it has been stuck in recovery mode for whatever reason. I have tried using data recovery software that can turn my phone to normal mode but when it tries all my phone does in turn off and then on again, back into recovery mode. I can't use iTunes to recover my phone because it won't let me do it without updating and recovering the iPhone. When I do this it gives me the error "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    Is there any other way I can restore my phone from backup without getting this error?
