IPhone will not turn off.

My iPhone will not turn off. I did a restore about a week ago to repair the problem following which the phone would turn off albeit with some difficulty: I had to hold the top button down and not merely click it before the phone turned off but not so long that I would get the shut-down screen.
Now, however, even after doing another restore, the iPhone will simply not turn off, no matter how long I hold down the top button. Nor do I ever get the shut-down screen. I've had to turn on the auto-lock option so that while I'm carrying the phone around it does not randomly dial or go online.
I'm guessing this might be a hardware failure but wanted to check first to see if anyone else has run into this problem.

If it's doing that after a restore, it more than likely issue on your logic board. I would contact Apple and get it serviced.

  • My iphone will not turn off

    I push the button on my new iPhone but it will not turn off.  Any suggestions?

    It might be a technical fault and I'd reccomend to visit Genius bar or find a repair shop.
    Meanwhile, if you still want to turn off/on your screen as a temporary solution:
    1. Go to settings
    2. General
    3. Accessibility
    4. AssistiveTouch and turn it on (you should find a small square with a circle inside on your screen now)
    5. Tap this small square to open AssistiveTouch menu
    6. Tap Device and then Lock Screen
    You should be able to turn off the screen now.

  • My iPhone 4 will not let me play my music I bought on iTunes or pandora or YouTube with out my headphones or speakers plugged in. I can play my ringtone without them plugged in but that's all. Also my iPhone will not turn off. Please help

    I tried resisting my phone it didnt work. Please help? This is the first time it has ever happens and has been doing it for a week. The sound will only play without headphones or speakers is when I'm listening to my ringtone. And my phone won't turn off. It turns off then just turns back on.

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
    Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

    In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

  • HT1430 My iPhone will not turn off,

    Once I get to the red slide button, it acts as if it is shutting down, then all of a sudden the apple sign reappears and it is back on

    Software troubleshooting in order...
    Restart: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Power Off slider appears. Power off then power back on.
    If no change...
    Reset: Press the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for ten seconds until the Apple logo appears. Note: No data will be lost
    If no change...
    Restore: First from backup... If no change as New > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If still no change...
    It may be a hardware issue... you should take the device to the closest Apple store and have it looked at.

  • My iphone 4 will not turn off... how can I fix this?

    I went to turn off my iphone 4 and it will not turn off... it is just stuck on the circle thing it does when shutting down????  What's wrong with it?

    Try holding down both the top and home buttons a the same time until it restarts- that probably would do it.

    I have restarted the phone and coputer, logged in & out several times to no avail.
    Any ideas or suggestions?

  • Why will my iPhone 4s not turn off?

    Why will my iPhone 4s not turn off?

    I may be experiencing a similar problem. My scenario is that the phone (4s) is 2 weeks old and won't power off. I hold down the button on the upper right for a few seconds, an option comes up to swipe to the right to "power off" the phone. I swipe this to the right and the phone powers off for only a few seconds and then automatically turns itself back on. This is a new problem for this phone. I was able to power it off previously, so I'm confident that it's not "pilot error". Here's something curious; if the phone is plugged into a wall charger it will power off and stay that way until disconnected from the outlet, even if the charger is still connected to the phone. I took this phone to an Apple store and the guy that helped me cleaned out the charging port claiming it was dirty and was successful at getting the phone to power off. However, by the next day the phone would not power off again. I found the dirty port thing a little curious while telling this story to a work mate and seeing his iPhones charging port clogged with plenty of visible dirt, lint and who knows what else, yet his phone works flawlessly. My charging port looks perfectly clean.

    Try Hard Reset -> Hold down these two buttons at the same time [Sleep/Wake & Home] the moment you see the Apple Logo 'release those buttons' allow device to reset
    If still no resolution -
    Restore
    [back up information either via iTunes or iCloud if no recent one has been done]
    Erase All Content an Settings - FIRST Set up As New - Test Camera Flash
    Works? Great! - restore back up
    [NOTE - if the flash does not respond again after restoring back up then sorry will have to Erase All Content and Settings Again and then the best part 'Set up As New and manually enter data/information']
    If the first time done and after setting up as new and still not resolved - then Id suggest call AppleCare Support or set an appointment up with an Apple Retail Store
    Best of luck
