My Iphone is on, but home and lock buttons are completely unresponsive. I can swipe the screen but i cannot do anything else. help me please :(
I was jus trying to download a few new apps when it said I had no storage left, so i went to delete some things, and after i was done, i tried to press the home button to go home. It didn't work, but yet if I clicked it the 3 times it would invert my colors still. I then tried to lock my phone or turn it off and neither worked.
I can still swipe on the settings screen but nothing else. The AssistiveTouch won't even take me back to my home screen. HELP
Try holding the Home and Power button together for at least 15 seconds or until the Apple logo comes on. Then let go and wait for the phone to reset and restart. This will take a few minutes and you will not lose any data.
If this does not work put your phone in recovery mode and connect it to iTunes. Then restore the phone to factory settings and then restore from backup. This will wipe your settings and data but if you have made a recent backup it should not be a lot.

You can turn it on by connecting to charging source and you can use Assitive Touch (Settings>General>Accessibility)
Otherwise, if not covered by warranty

My iPhone 5 keeps freezing when I connect to wifi, not just freeze the wifi, but freezes the whole phone and have to hold home and lock button. Locks up completely and instantly when I turn on wifi and connect. Solutions?
1. If you are really on iOS 7.1, you may wish to try upgrading to 8.1.2 which is the latest (basing this on your signature).
2. If updating the phone doesn't help, is this only when you connect to a specific wifi network? Or all wifi networks (including public with no password)? If it is ALL wifi networks, you may have a hardware problem. Genius bar would be the next step.

I have reset my iphone 5c and now it has the apple logo on the screen. Nothing is happening, apart from the screen going off for a few seconds, only to go back to black screen and white apple log. I have tried holding home and lock buttons for 10 seconds, but to no avail. I did a reset on settings as the IOS 8 was just slowing down my phone horrendously. How do i sort this please ?
Hi MartinH78,

my iphone 4s screen has just turned black but it is still vibrating. I was reading other messages similar and it says to resart phone but holding the home and lock button. However my lock button doesnt work what should i do?
Is it the Home button that doesn't work, or the Power (Sleep/Wake) button? If the Power button works, you can switch it off. Not sure how you have been able to do anything without the Home button working?
Cheers,
