My Iphone 3g will not unlock if its been locked for too long

just as the title says and all these issues too....
Whenever my phone is locked for too long it will not respond to any button presses. the only way i can get it out of that is if i hard reboot it but happens again afterwards. the only way to keep it from not acting like that is to keep it plugged in constantly. also if i try to shut it off normally it will power on by itself right after its shut off. ive tried to do a full restore in recovery mode and that didnt even solve the problem. any ideas?

Anyone? C'mom, I know some of you techie type folks know how to fix this!

Iphone 4 will not unlock but the same portion of the screen is active using SMS or any other feature.

Iphone 4 will not unlock but the same portion of the screen is active using SMS or any other feature. What is the issue?

It won't recognise it at all, but luckily I backed up very recently.
I've booked an appointment with an Apple store who promise a working iPhone within 10 minutes of your appointment, whether fixed or a brand new iPhone.
Thank you both for your suggestions. I'll leave the question unanswered incase people have any other suggestions or similar issues.
Cheers.

HT1430 my iphone 4 will not unlock

My iphone 4 will not unlock. It switches on, accepts the code then says 'unlocking please wait' but does not unlock.

Try a reset. Hold Sleep/Wake button and Home button down until Apple logo appears. No date will be lost.

My iphone 4 will not unlock when I press the home button, I have to alternate between the home and off button multiple times before my home scree will appear

Do a reset
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

My iphone 4s will not stop autofocusing on the lock screen camera?

My new iphone 4s will not stop autofocusing on the lock screen camera, (the regular camera is fine.) It seems to focus on my face and then the green box surrounding my face doesn't go away, and I cannot click anything or exit until my screen locks after 15 seconds. What is wrong?

how did you turn it on?
I ask because I may not own a iphone4s but only a iphone4 and it don't have a LED on the front only on the back

HT1338 My iPhone 4S will not update it's been saying error for the longest. Is there something wrong ?

Connect it to your computer and try updating using iTunes.
You'll see the phone name under Devices in the left side of iTunes window.

My ipad will not turn on/charge, itunes will not recognize ipad, has been charging for hours power and sleep button did not work

My ipad will not turn on/charge. has been charging for hours. Itunes will not recognize it and i have tried the power/sleep button as well. PLEASE HELP!

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it hasn't been, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Re-booted/restored water damaged iphone 5s, will not unlock or turn off.

my mom recently had dropped her phone in the toilet (she didn't use it yet) and she quickly took it out of the water. We then put in rice overnight, and i rebooted it and restored it after a couple of hours this morning. But now the screen isn't responding to unlocking it or even letting me turn it off. I know that going to my phone service provider is a option one and they can give her a new phone, but is there another way to fix it before going to my service provider?
fyi, my mom has had her phone for two weeks, so the phone is still brand new...

Water damage voids your warranty.
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

Can the flashlight cause my IPhone 5c to overheat if it's left on for too long?

Mine is now dead and won't charge, turn on, or anything. I have tried to start it in recovery mode...nothing.

I came home one night and the porch light was off, so I used my iphone 5c flashlight to see the lock. When I got in the house I set my phone down and went to bed, forgetting about the flashlight being on. When I woke up, my girlfriend said when she got home from work my phone was on the counter with 1%batt left and the flashlight was on. So she shut off the flashlight and plugged in my phone. It could have been turned on for up to a couple hours. When I checked it out, nothing happened. I've tried several different chargers, tried recovery mode, tried plugging it into the computer and iTunes won't show it at all. All I get is a iTunes msg saying failure to update without WIFI. Any ideas??
