My iphone is stuck on setings screen, not frozen but my lock button is broken

Last night, while trying to clear room to update, it stopped allowing me to go out of the settings app. my home button is not broke, but it didnt work.. My lock button IS broke, and i use the Assistive Touch. It wont allow me to open recieved messages when the pop up on the screen or answer calls.

Without the lcok button you will not be able to reset.
You need to get it repaired.
You can try waiting for the battery to die and see if it boots up normally after charging.

  • My iPhone 4 screen is frozen and the top button is broken

    About 20 minutes ago, my iPhone screen froze, and hasn't changed since. The top button has been unresponsive for several months, so I can't turn it off or reset it that way. I've tried plugging it into an outlet and my computer, but nothing happened. I had my sister call it, but it didn't show that either. What should I do? Please help me ASAP!

    Get it to Apple genius bar for an evaluation, make an appointment first.

  • I disconnected my ipod in the middle of recovering it and now the screen is frozen. My lock button doesnt work.. anyone know how to fix this??

    HELP!!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says use recovery mode use one of these two programs to place in recovery mode

    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Hello, I have an iPhone 4s, I noticed that when I am on a call (Phone) and I am done and I go to hang up, the iPhone is stuck on the screen and can not get new calls or call to a new call

    Is there a case on the iphone?
    If so, then remove it and see if that solves it.
    Otherwise, make an appointment at the genius bar.

    how or what do i have to do to fix this?
    and im at work so i cant get the serial number to you

    my lock button is broken
    If your lock button is broken, the only solution is to get the phone replaced or repaired.  There is no way to reset the phone without a functioning lock button.
    and im at work so i cant get the serial number to you
    This is a user to user tech support form, not Apple support.  The S/N wouldn't provide any solution regardless.

  • My iphone 5 chager slot doesnt work my lock button is broken and my screen is cracked i hate this phone may got team galaxy

    My iphone charger slot is broken my lock button is broken and my screen is cracked

    You would need to get a replacement as an Out of Warranty Service due to accidental damage. Now based on your country/region you could either get a replacement through postage or at an Apple Retail Store. Follow the link below for a pricing:
    http://www.apple.com/support/service/
    - select iphone
    - select your country
    - select warranty and service pricing
    Choose the last option and it will give you a price based on your country and iPhone. Remember the cost shown includes a postage fee so look below the prices and how much the postage fee is as this would not be included in the cost if the replacement was done at a store.
    Hope this helps

  • HT201412 My lock screen is frozen. It will not let me slide to unlock or anything. I can't power it off because my lock button is broken and I can't do the assistive touch thing? Help!

    My lock screen is frozen! It will not let me slide to unlock or touch the screen at all. I can't power it down either because the lock button is broken. A friend of mine said I might need a new Digitizer? Is there anyway I can avoid that? Pleasae Help!

    I am having the SAME exact problem! Except instead of lock button broken it's my home button so I can't do the whole "put in recovery mode" deal. My screen only says "tap the home button 3 times" and it has my screen locked until I hit the home button but since it is broken I can't get in my phone at all. I have all of my work info in my phone so I'm screwed and can't get any help. PLEASE let me know if you find a way around this...!!!
    Thanks!

  • My iPhone says that my charger is not supported, but it's the charger that came with my phone. Is there any way I can solve this issue?

    Try cleaning out the phone's port, of pocket fluff and such. Carefully. And check the mains adapter similarly, but less likely.

  • My iPhone 4s shut off and won't turn back on? My lock button is broken, so I can not reboot it.

    As I said, my lock button has broken so I can not use that to reboot it. My iPhone was charging when it shut off, i locked it and walked away from my phone for a few seconds and when I came back to unlock it, it was completely unresponcive. I use my phone to talk to all my friends and listen to music, please help asap. Also, I tried plugging it into my computer and it just won't do anything. Is my iPhone literally just, dead?

    You can try and let the phone sit for a period and then try connecting it again to the power source. If that doesn't work, I cannot think of another solution. The only way to reset the phone in a case such as this is to old the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. However, since you say the sleep/wake button doesn't work, then there is no alternative. I'm puzzled though when you say that you locked the phone and walked away. If the lock button doesn't work, how did you do that?

    There is nothing you can do as you won't be able to reset the device.
    You can wait until the battery goes flat then try connecting it to power so it restarts. If the same issue occours then you'll need to restore it on iTunes by entering recovery mode.
