My phone has frozen after its battery was completely finished. what to do?

my iphone 3gs was out of battery completely.
when i tried to recharge it it didnt recharge and now it is completely frozen.
what can i do?

If the battery was discharged and that caused the phone to turn off, it may take up to 30 minutes or more for the phone to respond once it is plugged into the charger.
I suggest using the charger that came with the phone and plug that into a known good wall outlet. Then wait 30 minutes. After thirty minutes, and with the phone still plugged into the charger reset your phone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the phone restart.
If the phone restarts, leave it on the charger until it is fully charged.
If the phone does not restart then check to make sure the lightning or dock connector port is free of any lint or other debris. You might also try a different cable and different charger. If none of these work its time to have you phone checked out by an Apple technician. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Phone Not Starting after the battery was drained

    My Phone's battery was drained and when connected to charge the phone it is not charging. I have kept it for hours but When I try to start my phone it does not do any thing. I am not sure if it is charging or not. Neither anything works please help me with this.

    When connected to a power source hold down both the volume up and power button for around 20 seconds then leave it for around 2 hours then check - If this fails then unfortunately your only options are to either return your device to the place of purchase or contact Xperia care http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/

  • LG Cosmos 2 phones lose all of its battery juice even after charging?

    Hello.
    Very rarely, this happened a few times already and quite annoying since I have seen a couple LG Cosmos 2 phones show this same problem/symptoms. My m(o(m/ther)/a) and I have the same exact phones from a local Verizon Wireless retail store as a family package about two years ago. In my past experience, I have seen my phone lose all of its battery juice the next day even after a full charge at night even though I did not use the phone. Basically, the phone doesn't turn on because of no battery power. Connecting to its power charger will make it work again, but charging fully takes a few hours to be portable again. This happened twice so far for me.
    Yesterday, the same thing happened with my m(a/o(m/ther))'s phone. She said she charged her the night before it ran out of battery power (dead as well) in the day time. She was able to turn it back on when she plugged a power charger (her SUV and at home). It also took hours to fully recharge and no problems.
    We both use our own chargers and phones. We did not change any hardwares like batteries, chargers, etc. They are the same ones that we got when bought our phone as a family package from a local Verizon Wireless store. We don't know when the next incident will happen again, but this is annoying and concerning since there seems to be no exact patterns to see when this happen again. Why is this happening? Is this a known issue?
    Thank you in advance.

    For me, it is mainly an emergency phone since I rarely talk on the phones (maybe a few times a month for a few minutes). My phone only turns on when it is being charged. My mom uses it almost daily though. As you can see, very different phone usages but same rare symptoms.
    When you say idle, do you mean the one that turns off automatically? I never manually turn mine off. Is being far away or no signal the one show in the signal bars when the phone is on? If so, then I don't re(call/member) seeing it being very low or unavailable but then how often do I use my phone?

    The phone was hacked to unlock it. It relocked when you updated. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. If you are not/never were an AT&T customer and you do not have an original store receipt from either an AT&T or Apple store in the U.S. for a no commitment AT&T iPhone, they will NOT unlock it.

    You said "reset," so Meg assumed that's what you did. But "reset" is not a button; to reset the phone you must hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. You may have to hold for up to 30 seconds, and if the battery was completely drained, you will have to restore iOS using iTunes on your computer.

  • HT4910 My iCal has frozen after I tried to paste info from an email into a reminder.  I get a "server reports an error" message with what I tried to paste in the box.  Calendar is frozen and will only close by forcing it.  Any help?

    Did another window open with the pasted information?  If so, try hitting "enter/return" key and "delete" key at the same time.  That should get rid of the current action on the ical, the extra window should go bye-bye, and all should be fine with the world.

    Can that be done, and how (I've attempted without any success)?
    Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated!!

    Contact iTunes support and explain your situation to them.  They may let you redownload it at no cost.

    If they don't, I'm afraid you'll have to purchase it again.  Sorry.

    If you are having the same issue on several computers then it is a hardware issue! Not a software issue! Replacement is the only resolution!

  • Phone has frozen...

    My Phone has frozen... and will not switch off using on/off button
    How can I fix this?

    Try a reset. Hold down the home button and the on/off button together until the Apple logo appears (ignore the "turn off" slider). Then wait for the phone to restart.

  • Phone has frozen while resting to factory settings.

    I wanted to reset my phone to factory settings. I have done this without the use of a pc. But now it seems that my phone has frozen on start-up. All it has is a black sceen with the apple icon in the middle. It has been this way for about 3 hours now.
    Can anyone please help?

    See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, select setup as "new".

  • I've purchased an app and it shows up in my iTunes. But when I download it to my phone, it disappears after its installed. Why is this?

    I've purchased an app and it shows up in my iTunes. But when I download it to my phone, it disappears after its installed. Why is this?

    Is the app checked in the Apps tab of iTunes?  That's how you tell iTunes whether you want the app on your phone or not.
    Otherwise, check the very last screen on the phone.
