Phone won't turn on after lock screen until I reset

So recently every time I lock my phone I can't unlock it with out restarting it using the off button near the sim card. Certain apps such as Facebook and Sky News then won't work. My phone is about 8 months old and is up to date so don't know why this is happening. How do I get it to stop?

Phone won't turn on after charging

I charged my phone and now when I try to turn it on the Verizon banner flashes on and off but the phone won't turn on.

Which phone do you have?

Help! Phone won't turn on after ICS update

So I just updated my phone a few hours ago. I looked down at it to see if it was finished and noticed it was off. When I tried to turn it on it wouldn't power up. I've had it on the charger for an hour now. When it goes on the charger, the red Motorola insignia comes on the screen but nothing happens after that. My phone may have died during the upgrade so that could be the problem. I've reset it about 10 times and it still won't turn on. Any suggestions???? I had a baby a month ago and would be devastated if I lost my pictures.

Jess i can tell Ya is Hook your Razr up to the Charger and Leave it on there for about 3 Hours Maybe 4 and then with the Charger Hooked to it Try to Restart it.. if you Can See were your at on the Download it Takes about 15 Minutes for the Initial Download then the Phone Will Power itself but should Come Back on and Finish the Rest of you Will see the Little Android Character And Below it A Rectangle box and you should see another Bar in Yellow moving across it. When that's Finished Give it some Time and it Reboot itself and then Update you Apps then it should Finished After That.. But hopefully By leaving it on the Charger for a While Will pull it out of the State it's in Now..

Display won't turn off after locking.

My 701 running on belle fp1 doesn't turn off the display after locking the phone?
It's just keeps the display always on.
Restarting solves the problem but this is happening again and again.
Please solve this Nokia.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

No,
I noticed that popclock at the top left yesterday when I pressed the menu key after lock.
Actually I have lot of apps installed on the memory card like games and apps.
After firmware reinstall at Nokia care, I inserted back my memory card and copied all mass memory backup from my pc.
After stating the phone after inserting memory card, phone started to display installing without cancel button and I got back almost all of the apps.
Maybe this is caused the popclock or Nokia bubbles to show and turn the display always on.
Today I had no problem at all.

HT201210 my phone won't turn on after trying to restore it with iTunes what do i do??!! also it just has the blue music app with an arrow and power cord on it. HELP!

My phone will NOT turn back on after trying to restore it with itunes. It just has the blue music app with an arrow & the usb side of the power cord on it.
Help me please!!

Hello Sean,
It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Iphone won't turn on After blue screen of death, even after press sleep and home buttons simultaneously.

I was watching YouTube on my iPhone 5 and all the sudden the screen turned blue and phone stop responding to any buttons. I some how pressed the volume buttons and power button and the phone went off but since then it can't turn back on. I tried to press the power and home button simultaneously but still nothing. After that I removed the case from my phone and noticed there was moisture on the back of the phone, I didn't drop the phone in water. Any suggestion how to turn on this piece of crap. Thanks!

hopefully they'll have your iphone in stock!!! if they do, they should just replace the phone.

How can I turn off "Find My IPhone" when the phone won't turn off but the screen doesn't work?

My IPhone has water damage so the screen has stopped working, even though the phone is still on. I need to restore the phone to send it back to the company, however when I try to restore it on the computer, it prompts that I need to turn of "Find My IPhone" in order to restore the phone. How can I do this on the computer with out use of the IPhone??

You can't.

My phone won't turn on after updating ios 6.1

I've updated ios 6.1. The phone went off durign the night (it had 60% battery).
Now it only turns on plugged to the wall socket (not if I plug it to the USB port) and it shows the "iOS 6 Configuration" screen, telling me to connect to iTunes, but if I unplug it to connect to the USB, it turns off.
If I plug it to the USB, it keeps showing the little apple, and turns off, again and again. It never gets to the same screen of the "iOS 6 configuration".
I can´t seem to turn it on with de DFU mode plugged to the computer.

Hi elmauki,
Error 21
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Error 1602
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Phone Won't Turn on After battery died

Yesterday my phone completely died, causing my phone to shut off. I have had it charging for about 8 hours and I get nothing. The red light will come on for about 15 seconds, then off, then back on... Any suggestions?

Are you seeing on the screen a battery symbol with a slash (/) through it?
Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the USB cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage). If it doesn't reboot on the first attempt, leave it several more hours. I've had one charge for two days before it came back to life after an extreme battery depletion. Every 3-4 hours, with the device still connected to the charger, you can remove and replace the battery to see if it reboots.
If not, no dead battery symbol... If your BlackBerry stays powered off with a black screen, follow the instructions below. The only indication of life might be the blinking red LED light in the top corner. Nothing seems to wake it up and Desktop Manager doesn't recognize any device is connected.
1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
"c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Hit Next and Finish and you are well on your way to getting your Blackberry back to life. Congrats! Just don't disconnect anything and let the lengthy process finish completely.
NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's Operating System for your carrier and device.
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads
Just select the appropriate carrier and network type, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right path.

Phone won't turn on after battery drain...

Here's my situation: My iPhone 3G S ran out of battery over night. So this morning I got to work at 9 and plugged it in. It's been over an hour now and it's still not turning on. I've tried doing a reset, getting it into recovery mode, it's just not responding. Any suggestions?

When its plugged in, if you give the screen a good hard look, you should be able to see a very dark battery icon and a charging symbol - but they are not lit up at all.
If you don't see them, then the charging possibly isn't working - are you USB charging or using the main adapter ?

Updated my iPhone 5s to 7.0.6 and the phone won't turn back on.

Phone won't turn on after Apple update 7.0.6. Any ideas of the problem and solution?

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not work, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

IPhone won't turn on after brief blue screen.

My iPhone is currently broken, won't turn on after a blue screen appeared briefly. Won't even connect to my PC or iTunes. Won't even charge with my charger or using a new charger from a family member. Won't hard reboot by holding home top button. Anyone know what my situation is? Checked over the internet and couldn't find any similiar situations. Also this occured after i was browsing Reddit so nothing intense was occuring on my phone at the time.

I'm afraid you'll have to get it looked at by visiting an Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider next to your place or by contacting Apple:
