Odd iPhone 4S Power off Screen

Hello, I got a new iPhone for my mom and was setting it up for her. At one point, I got an odd screen on the 32 GB white phone. I was downloading some of the apps that she wanted (QVC, facebook, etc). At one point, the screen showed a different "power off screen"? The screen was black with the letters "power off" at the top of the screen, it said "touch here" or something like that. I touched the home button and it went away. It hasn't come back at all. This was a brand new phone and this weird screen came up. It hasn't again and now I'm starting to wonder if I was seeing something??? Anyhow, did anyone else ever experience this? The phone works fine.....just wondering.....thanks
JJS

I bought the phone directly from Apple via the apple store So I'm assuming it's not fake and/or jailbroken ( I don't even know how or care to do so). Could they have resold it as new and it was at some point? That would be disappointing or is that something apple does?

Hello can someone please help me solve my issue to my iPhone update iOS 7 software. I updated it and now it's stuck in the power off screen showing an demonstration of the USB connection plug with an arrow pointing towards the iTunes logo. How do I go from there?

Hey Bianca71,
Thanks for the question, I understand how frustrating this may be. It sounds like the update process may have been interrupted, and to resolve the issue, we’ll need to restore your device in recovery mode with iTunes:

Camera going to "Slide to power off" screen

Yesterday, as I was taking a video, after about 2 seconds of recording my phone would pop up the "Slide to power off" screen. When I hit cancel, it went back to my home screen. I tried this a few more times and it happened again and again. I then power cycled the phone and it did it again. This would happen for both the video and still camera. It finally went away and now I can not duplicate the problem.
Do I need to take it into the Apple store?
iPhone 4 with 4.2.1OS.
Thanks.

So no one has experienced this? Please let me know if you have.
Thank you

How to resolve "you need to power off" screen looping

I fitted a new hard drive to my MacBook. Have restored from a Time Machine back-up. I have the "you need to power off" screen but every time I power off and power back on I first get the Apple logo screen and then the "you need to power off" screen.
I have read elsewhere it is probably caused by restoring a Snow Leopard backup using a Leopard disc. So I think I need to do the restore again but can't get out of the "you need to power off" loop....

Suddenly power off screen came on

All of the sudden, the power off screen came up asking me to power off the phone. When I clicked cancel, it went back to the home screen and I pressed the home button, it kept taking the picture on the screen and went back to the sxreen asking me to power off the phone. Or just frequently comes up the power off screen. If I did power off the phone and turn the phone on, it will be fine for a few days and it happened again. This had started to happen a numbers of time since April.

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer..)
Release the Buttons...
Note:
Also consider Deleting any Apps you have Purchased / Downloaded but you now never use...

IPhone stuck on off screen

I tried turning of my iPhone 3G off and now it is stuck on the screen with the timer waiting to finally shut off. It has been on this screen for a while now. I just wanted to restart my phone. What do I need to do to finally shut it off?

To restart: Press and hold the sleep/wake button until you see the red slider then swipe to power off. Then press and hold the sleep / wake button until you see the Apple logo.
To turn it off press the sleep / wake button then swipe the slider to power off.
If that doesn't help, try here > iPhone: Frozen and unresponsive

Why does iPhone randomly power off?

My iPhone powers off at, seemingly, random times. It should not power off at all unless I power it off. Any explanations as to why?

Without more specific information it's hard to assist you.
First thing is it may be hardware failure which means you will have to take it to Apple store and see a genius expert. You will need an appointment first though.
There a several things to try first though as I have seen, and also experienced iPhones where the operating system appeared to lock up at what appeared to be random times which would eventually cause the phone to eventually reboot.
Usually though, if you pay enough attention as to what might be causing it, I was able to determine that it was a troublesome website or an application that caused iPhone OS to lock up.
You can usually try several things to fix this.
First try to work out what might be causing the problem by seeing if you can replicate what you were coin immediately before it happened. If it's an app that's causing the problem then remove it. If you can't work out what's triggering it then try a soft reset by pressing the home and power/sleep buttons til the phone reboot (you'll see the Apple logo reappear after the phone shuts down).
If this doesn't work then try doing a restore on the phone and first set it up as a new phone, then test the phone and see whether this has fixed it.
If this does fix it then you can try doing a restore again and instead of setting it up as a new phone use the option to restore from a backup. If the problem returns after you do this, then your software backup is somehow corrupted and you'll need to restore as a new phone and start resetting it up with all your old settings.
Anyways I hope this helps you in some way

Fake lockscreen and power off screens appearing and cant slide slider on fake lockscreen

hi i have been having my screen frozen with a fake lockscreen with slider that wont slide i know it fake cause its not my lockscreen pic its my homescreen pic and when i try to power off then it show a fake power off slider i end up having to reboot

I Have been having the same problem sporadically and it is most certainly a fake lock screen, exactly as you describe. I have never jail broke my phone nor iPad.
it is really annoying and only happens sometimes. I have even seen the real lock screen and go to swipe it and it immedistely changes to the fake one and wont swipe. I have found i can swipe up in the camera icon and get the camera to start then cancel that and will be at main screen, but that means i have to leave the camera accessible on the lock screen.
it seems to come and go, i also noticed if i wipe ipad and reinstall OS, it wil usually not happen for a month or so then it is back.
