My iphone 3g has frozen how do I unfreeze it?

To unfreeze your iphone 3g, you must hold the home and lock button down for 6-1o seconds.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?
If none of the above resolves the isse, then it is time to take the device to Apple for evaluation.

  • Iphone 4 has frozen how do i fix it

    My iPhone 4 has frozen whilst resetting. How can I fix it?

    Thanks very much for your very helpful post, Chris. Today my iPhone 3GS froze just after I took a photo.  Pressing the sleep/wake button or the home button got no results.  I went by the Apple Store, but couldn't get an appointment until tomorrow.  The scheduler at the store offered no suggestions.  After I got home, I found your suggestion about pushing the sleep/wake button and the home button simultaneously. Viola!  It worked.  You're the genius!  What a simple solution to a scary problem.  I wish all troubleshooting efforts with electronics were that easy and that successful!  Many thanks.

  • My Iphone 4 has frozen, how do I reset it?

    While shifting an app to a folder the screen froze. Holding down the top button has not forced a reset.

    Hold down the home screen and power button at the same time until it shuts off.That's how you force it to shut down when it freezes like that.

  • My iPhone 3Gs has frozen and I can't do anything except turn it off by hard boot. When I plug it in, I have the apple icon and that is all. It was at 43 percent battery life when it happened and my Twitter app was giving me problems. Thoughts?

  • My iPhone playlist has dissapeared, how can I get it back?

    My iPhone playlist has dissapeared, how can I get it back?

    I'm very new to this sort of thing, so bear with me.  I had my computer in to the Apple store on Jan 10th, & they replaced Leopard with Snow leopard because of problems.  I have iphoto 8.
    This morning opening my computer a picture briefly appreared that I had saved to iphoto. I decided to place it in its correct event box, and  ! sign appeared.  Upon opening iphoto, I found a blank.  I've not backed up my files.  I've looked everywhere on the system, including Trash, applications, Pictures, all my document files.  
    Also I had 2 icons  of iphoto on my desktop because it had disappeared 2 years ago & came back some months later.  Two days ago I decided to clean up my desktop & moved the icons to the pIcture  file and a document file.  I don't know whether this triggered the disappearance. The main icon is still in the dock.
    Does this help?

  • My iphone 4 has frozen

    my iphone 4 has frozen to the screen with the apple logo and progress bar below it just after the ios 7 update, please help

    Thaw it out. 
    Just kidding.  Hold the home button and the on/off switch simultaneously, past the prompt to turn off and let go only when you see the Apple logo.  This can take ~20 seconds.

    Close the Mail app in the Task Bar and re-launch.
    Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar. Hold Mail app down for a second or two; tap the minus sign to close app.
    If it still doesn't work, try a reset.

  • My iphone 4 has frozen. I can not slide to unlock nor shut the phone down. It flashes the apple logo from time to time but will not respond to the touch screen.

    My iphone 4 has frozen while I held the button down to try and access voice command. Now it will not allow me to slide and unlock. Won't respond to the shut down button on top nor any touch screen commands. The apple logo appears from time to time but mostly it shows my wallpaper and the time. Can you help me out ?

    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.
