IPhone will not turn on after Sleep during Camera app.

Over the last two months, my iPhone has refused to turn on 4 times. In each of the cases, I was using the Camera app and pressed the sleep/wake button while still in the app.
In all cases, I was able to reset the phone (sleep+home for 10 sec.) However, what really bothers me is that two of the times, the battery was fully drained (from about 85% in about 4 hours). I have a feeling the Camera app is still running even though the screen is dark and unresponsive.
I have tried unsuccessfully to replicate the problem intentionally.
Does this sound like a HW or SW issue? Has anyone else experienced this problem?

This happened to me just last night. I was looking at photos (as opposed to taking them), left the photo showing and let phone sit on the table until it slept... it just didn't wake. Thought it was a battery issue (I was down to about 30% remaining), but connecting to power did not wake the phone. Plugged in overnight, but nothing changed, and no battery charging took place.
Power+Home restart did wake it this morning, but this was a bit disconcerting to say the least. I'm almost hesitant to want to replicate the behaviour.
FYI, I spent the weekend taking pictures using Camera, then putting it to sleep until the next picture. iPhone always woke fine, but after using Camera to view the pictures last night it didn't wake up.

  • My iphone will not turn on after I replaced the battery

    My iphone will not turn on after I replaced the battery, itunes logo comes up, but it will not connect and does not reset! does anyone know what I can do?

    Who replaced the battery, you, Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider? If you did it yourself, then you could have done anything to disable it. It also voids any warranty and post-warranty support from Apple and the forum. You are on your own. If Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider replaced it, then take it back and have them check it.
    The iPhone does not have a user replaceable battery, or user serviceable parts. It is meant to only be serviced by Apple, or authorized service providers.

  • My iPhone will not turn on after a yet another blue screen of death. Please help!

    As mentioned above, my phone will not turn on after a yet another blue screen of death. All of a sudden it turned off, and it wouldn't turn on for quite some time, even after I plugged it in the charger. It wasn't long after the screen turned on, but it only displayed a bright black. I decided to turn it on and off a few times. Nothing worked.
    I have also tried to call the phone from another one. It was as if the phone was simply off.

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.

  • Airport will not turn on after sleep

    I have a new iMac 20" flat panel. After a short sleep the computer wakes up fine and airport is switched on. After a long sleep it stays switched off and will not turn on, even manually. System reboot turns airport on again.
    I have no issues with network connectivity (once airport is on!)
    Any advice please?

    Stuffer, Welcome to the discussion area!
    If you have a new iMac you have an Intel-based iMac and should post your question in the Intel-based iMac discussion area.
    This is the discussion area for the much older iMac G4.

  • My iPhone will not turn on after i locked it

    so my iphones working perfectly fine and i up it on lock for literally 30 seconds to put on a shirt. when i return to unlock it, it wouldnt turn on. i have never dropped my iphone or had watr damage. the battery was full when right before it stopped working. i have tried pugging it into my computer and i have tried charging it. i have held down all the buttons in all the ways possible but it will not work. its just a blank black screen

    Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-60 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • My iphone will not turn on after update

    Hi all.
    I was wondering if you could help me.
    I tried to update my phone last night. I had a number of error codes and was then met with the task of having to restore my phone.
    I restored it and it failed.
    All that happens is the apple logo comes on and the 'egg timer'. I can not turn it on. I have tried to press the sleep and home buttons..but no joy.
    I tried this morning and my PC would not recongnise my  iphone and neither would iTunes.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Please help me

  • IPhone will not turn on after restore:

    Hi guys, I tried to update my iPhone and it wouldn't update, so I restored it then there was an error (1015) so I tried to turn on my iPhone but it kept displaying the screen it does as if it were connected to itunes (even though I disconnected it). So, I tried to restore it again, same thing happened! Now it won't even load up again - As soon as press the button for it to turn on, it gets past the Apple logo bit then goes straight to the screen as if it were connected to itunes again! Really frustrating as I just bought it on Wednesday. Any helpful information would be amazingly appreciated! Thanks.

    It sounds a lot like the phone was 'hacked' to unlock it. This has been known to cause permanent damage that can not be reversed. You can try a hard reset. Hold power and home together for 20-30 seconds. It should display the Apple logo and boot.
    If it does not, you may as well just buy a new, legitimately unlocked phone or one that works with your carrier.
    Discussing hacked or jailbroken devices is a violation of the terms of service here. That's about all we can advise. There are no 'parts' you can change that will fix this.

  • HT4528 My IPhone will not turn on, I charged it last night and during a phone call it shut off and will not come back on.

    My IPhone will not turn on, I charged it last night and it had a complete charge and during a phone call it just died and will not come back on.

    Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to respond.

  • Iphone 3gs will not turn on after attempting a factory restore

    My iphone 3gs will not turn on after attempting a factory restore, all that happens is the apple logo appears the timer goes round then stops.  It then switches itself on and off several times to no avail.
    The only way I can turn it off now is by holding the off button and the home button, but then it goes into the cycle again.
    Any advice gretly appreciated.

  • My iphone will not turn on.  Why?

    My iphone will not turn on.  Why??  Help me please !!

    Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take 10 to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • IPhone will not turn on, charge or connect to a PC

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
