My phone is "disabled" although there is no timer showing on the lock screen.

My phone was disabled this afternoon, It has shown the "iPhone is disabled" screen since i first got the password wrong, although there has been no timer present on the screen. I can still receive calls and texts i just cant unlock my phone. Is there any way I can find out how long it will be until my phone is back working? And if so how do i fix it ?
Please not system restore as I really dont want to lose all my data..
Please please please help.

I'm afraid there is no option than restoring the phone. If you have a backup in iTunes or iCloud, then your can restore it.
Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
A
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
7. iOS - Unable to update or restore
Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
iPad,iPod,iPod Touch Recovery Mode
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

If you swipe down from that bar, it will pull up your notification center.

Hello, Ayman Refaat.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are a couple articles I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue. Make sure to check the vibrate switch is not engaged as it can cause some application audio, keyboard sounds and ringtones to be mute.

Please help ,,After last night when i change my pas code on my I phone . and not enter the correct code my phone is disabled..please help me fix it

Please use the article that I've linked to you. That's how you resolve your issue.
Follow the steps of the article.
What steps have you taken so far?
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
When you set up a passcode to secure the use of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and then enter the wrong passcode, you may see a a message saying your device is "disabled". Learn what to do if you have forgotten or can't remember your passcode, or if your device displays a message saying it is disabled.
If you enter the wrong passcode six or more times, you'll see a message that says one of the following:
iPhone is disabled
iPad is disabled
iPod touch is disabled
If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

Is there an app that shows on your locked screen what time the auto-lock was activated...so you know if anyone has looked at your phone?

Id like an app that shows what time your iphone was locked, so you know if anyone has looked at your phone while you've left it, say on a desk at work?

If your location on the map is off press the MENU button (lower left corner of your phone). Then when the next screen appears Touch "my location" and it will move the your blue colored location ICON to your current location.
Also, you can touch the tower ICON to see the tower's SSID, SID, and Received signal strength. WIKI has good definitions for these acronyms. If you go to CELLS (top of screen) you can also see the RSSI and the overview shows the signal strength in %.

My iphone only displays artwork on the music screen, once i lock the phone, it wont show up, it only shows my backround. how can i make it show on the lock screen like it used to?

help!

Did you try dragging the corner to stretch the screen? Or the green traffic light?
If so, try pressing the green traffic light while holding the option key... or delete the .plist for iTunes or edit it manually.

When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, then when I unlock the phone it automatically redials the failed call,

When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, the problem arises whenever I unlock the phone, it automatically redials the last failed call, it doesn't do this with missed calls that are on the locked screen, if any. It is really annoying as sometimes the phone doesn't respond to attempts to end the call before it connects to the number. I then have to explain that it was my phone and not me, I look like an idiot, which I don't really need any extra help with!! Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want to stop missed call from showing in the locked screen but it might be associated with the failed calls and therefore be the only resolution

I have had the same issue which was driving me mad but think I have just found a way around it. In iOS 7 if you swipe up on the lock screen to access quick settings and go into timer then click the home button you get into the phone without calling the person back. Not a great 'fix' but hope it works for you. Come on Apple this isn't good enough, fix this bug otherwise you will lose your customers.

IOS7: Is there any way to turn off previews of texts in the lock screen but allow previews in the notification center when the phone is unlocked?

In iOS6 text message previews would be shown in the notification center when the phone was unlocked and would just show up as "text message" or "imessage" in the lock screen...is there a way to change it so it's the same in iOS7? currently with "no preview" picked, whenever I swipe down in my notification center it just shows text messages with the contact name and not the message itself like it used to.

I've set up another user on my home Mac and left that one logged in. Now when I connect from work it asks me if I want to share the screen or log on virtually as my user. I think choosing the second option doesn't power up the screen.

I have installed IOS5 on my iPhone. There is supposed to be a camera icon on the lock screen giving the ability to take a photo without unlocking the phone. That camera icon does not appear. Help, please.

I have installed IOS5 on my iPhone. There is supposed to be a camera icon/button on the lock screen that enables you to take photos without unlocking the camera. That icon/button does not appear. Do I need to configure something to get the icon to appear?

Double click your home button when the phone is locked. The camera icon will show up then.

My phone is "disabled" although there is no timer showing on the lock screen.
