My iPhone 4s the front screen keeps freezing

I Have had my iPhone 4s for about 3 years, I bought this of eBay,  now all of a sudden the screen keeps freezing and I'm not able to phone or text I have to keep switching the phone off then restart it, I can't even slide the screen it's starting to get annoying. If anyone could give me some advice what to do please.

  • My iPod keeps showing the apple logo + a blank screen and the lock screen keeps freezing when trying to unlock it.

    Last night I turned my iPod touch 4g off randomly and then when I went to turn it back on and went to unlock the screen it froze up right there and will not unlock to the home screen to where all my apps and all that are. Ever since that happened the iPod keeps showing the apple logo repeatedly, as well as a screen being completely blank when still turned on. Also when i plug in the iPod to the computer it recognizes it for a second but the iPod does nothing and shuts off and repeats in showing the apple logo and blank black screen. I can get it to the home screen where the slide to lock button is but every time i even attempt to slide it, it freezes up and doesn't do it.
    I also having been trying to restore it by plugging in the cord and pressing the home button to get the screen with the usb cord to pop up but no matter what i do, it will not let me turn the iPod off period because every time i keep trying to do that it just shows the apple logo and all of what i said up above again. I have also seen it get a white screen to show a few times , which i assume means the white screen of death. I have never seen that screen before this happened.
    I know this is not making any sense whatsoever but this is very hard to put into words in explaining. I have searched the internet but i can't find a single problem that sounds like this one in solving to fix it. The iPod is on right now as i'm typing this. I haven't attemtped to push the buttons down again to fix as i would assume maybe to just leave it alone as i sleep through the night in hopes of it maybe working or even dying. I've only had this iPod for 4 months now and i just don't understand why it won't let me turn it off completely or work properly for me to restore it.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 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.

  • My iphone 4s fell from the bed and the front screen glass got cracked but the touch screen is working fine, so can i replace just that screen glass?? If not what am i to do ? And how much it might cost me for that repairing??

    I don't know. You'll have to ask.
    FYI, if the phone was not originally sold in India, it can not be serviced in India. You will have to take it back to the country where it originated.

  • I have an iPhone 4S with a smudge or smear under the front glass screen and a cracked backplate. How do you fix the front screen? HELP!!

    How do You fix a iPhone 4S with a smudge under the front screen and a shattered backplate?

    You can purchase replacement parts from a third-party vendor, or a replacement iPhone from Apple.  If you choose the former, there are many online videos to assist you with the teardown and repair.

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Report any errors it found for Disk Repair, don't need the ones for Permissions Repair.
    Try it again & see if anything changed, but have Activity Monitor open & Show All Processes & sorted on CPU%, also have Console open if we can... maybe not when switching, but we'll see.
    Does this happen if you just try to create a new admin user???

  • Screen Keeps Freezing & Sleep Wake issues

    I have a 17" Macbook Pro and the screen keeps freezing.  The computer doesnt freeze because when i depress the volume buttons i can still hear the beeps or when i hit F8 music from my itunes starts to play.
    Also,  60% of the time when my computer goes to sleep I get a blank screen when i try to wake it.  When this happens i have to close the screen for about 2 mins until the computer re-falls asleep.  Once this happens I can then wake it up. 
    any ideas on the causes of these two issues?

    Hello
    > he told me that the laptop is pretty warm.
    Probably this happens due a higher internal temperature
    Did your friend already clean the notebook?
    There is an interesting article here in forum about cleaning the cooling system of Toshiba notebooks:

  • Why does my Ipad screen keep freezing even after rebooting

    My ipad screen keeps freezing and remains stuck. So in the last hour this has happened 3 times after hard "reboots". Can someone explain whats going on? Uwas not downloading anything ..only looking at Facebook.

    Hello, Nina1711. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Try closing all open applications in multitasking and power cycling the device.  Test the responsiveness of the iPad after processing these steps.  If the issue persists, check to make sure you have space available on the iPad in Settings/General/About.  If there is no space available you may want to remove unwanted Apps or media as this can cause the unit to become unresponsive.  If these steps have been processed with the issue persisting, you will need to restore the device.  Make sure to backup the device prior to restoring.

  • Does anybody know how much it costs in the UK to get the front screen of an iPhone4 replaced as it had smashed?

    I have an iPhone4 and I have just smashed the front screen. Does anybody know how much it costs to get this fixed/replaced in the UK??

    You can look this up yourself:
    http://www.apple.com/support/service/
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service Fee listed below.
    Please note Out-of-Warranty Repair Service fees from your carrier may be different than those listed below.
    iPhone Model
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    iPhone 5
    £ 186.44
    iPhone 4S
    £ 146.44

  • Replace the front screen

    My iphone 4s has been dropped on the ground, and the front screen is broken.  How much will it cost to replace the screen?

    You can usually get it replaced by people locally for pretty cheap.  You could look on Craigslist or for a phone repair shop close to you and see if they do iPhone 4S screens.  But having a 3rd party (Not Apple) replace your screen will void your iPhone 4S warranty, if you still have warranty.
    You could also do it yourself by purchasing a front screen on eBay here and following the guide from ifixit.com here.  That would be about $30.
    Here are your options;
    1. Apple - $230 for a brand new iPhone 4S after tax
    2. Craigslist - Around $70 for a 1 day wait reaplacment
    3. DIY eBay - Around $30 + wait time for shipping
    If you do go with the eBay option, make sure you get the whole front LCD display and NOT just the glass.  The glass is useless alone.
