Strobe lighting turns off my iPhone touch control.

Recently I attended a concert with strobe ligthining and while using the camera function, my iPhone 4S became unresponsive to touch controls.
I could turn it on, turn it off, and I could not power off, or access any of the menus.
I finally got the idea of phoning my own phone. It worked, I got access to my iPhone, but the pictures came back partly darkened.

So what is the problem?

  • My lock screen button is not working and i turned off my iphone with assistive touch. Now i cant turn my phone back on!

    I used assistive touch to turn off my iphone, because my lock screen button is not working, so now i cant turn it back on! What i did was, i went to assistive touch, then i held down the lock screen button to turn it off. Now i can't turn it back on.

    To turn it back on when you use assistive touch, all you have to do is plug your iphone into a charger and it will power back on

  • I need an application that will turn off my iPhone on the home screen just by a one click since my power button has sank and is no longer working--anyone have ideas?? I don't like having to use assistive touch and hit three buttons to lock my screen

    No such app exisits or can exist.  Apple doesn't allow 3rd party apps to access core functions of the phone.  Time to get your phone replaced or repaired if assistive touch doesn't needs your needs.

    Best of luck,

  • IPhone 5 will not be recognized by iTunes or charge while on but when turned off the iPhone will charge just fine but still won't sync with iTunes what should I do?

    Was charging my iphone 5 for about an hour or so after charging unplugged and went to playing games phone was at 5% so I grabbed my cable and plugged it into the wall nothing happened tried three different chords and blocks and sockets afterwards I plugged my phone into the computer and it wouldn't charge or sync with iTunes it acted as if it wasn't even plugged in so I shut the phone off and though I'd give It a break and try again later. As I got ready to go to bed I though I'd try to plug it back in and see if anything happened nothing did so I just left it I went to mess with it this morning and come to find out it was at 100% I continued to mess with it and i came to the conclusion that it only charges when turned off. I can't get the phone to reset and would love to restore with iTunes if it would sync with iTunes I don't know what I need to do but really need my problem resolved since its a hassle to have to turn off my iphone in order to get it to charge

    Is that a new iPhone? Bring it in to Apple for a replacement.
    But do this first:
    hold the Home Button and the Power Button at the same time, keep holding, ignore everything on the screen, keep holding until you see the white Apple logo appear, then let go and let it start up.
    It should charge both when on and off, unless you connect throug a hub and there are current eaters also on the hub: connect directly to the usb port.

  • Turning off the iphone or rebooting it ?

    Hey guys.
    Just wondering, If i turn off my iphone 4 by pushing the sleep button untill
    the slide to turn off appears, then sliding it off, will that reboot the phone ?
    Whats the difference if i hold sleep and home for 15 seconds ? how is that different then turning off the phone ?
    Thanks

    Holding sleep and home until the Apple icon appears is the same as re-booting a PC - all systems are re-started from scratch.
    Turning off is like hibernating - everything is restored to the same state as before the turn off

  • My mac wont turn on. It is charging and the on light is on when the computer is shut but once I open it the light turns off and the screen is black.  I turn it off and then on again and the start up noise goes but it is still black - Help!?

    Claire, please post your machine specs as requested. There are some variants of the MBP with specific hardware issues. Example: the older "silver key" MBPs with 2.2Ghz and faster processors can have a defective video chipset that produces a black screen or distorted video. That problem is covered under an Apple program that will fix this at no cost to you if you computer is that model.
    Do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info..." button. That launches System Profiler for you. The first screen looks like this:
    The second line, "Model Identifier" (or "Machine Model" if you are running OS10.4) precisely identifies your MBP variant. Post that, and include it in your equipment info in your profile for future posts. That means people don't have to ask, and you get faster help that is targeted to your specific model. Saves everybody a bunch of keystrokes and you get better advice.

  • How can I turn off my iPhone?

    I turned off my iPhone. Then the wheel started to turn. How can I stop this? When I press both nobs for 30 seconds nothing happens. Please help.

    Contrary to Mr. Crooks post, this is NOT normal.  It should spin a few secs and then shut off without needing to connect to iTunes.
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.  You may need to hold the buttons as long as a minute.
    If still a problem, connect to iTunes.  If it's not recognized by iTunes, try Recovery Mode... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • WRT1900AC 5 GHz WiFi LED lights turns off after few days

    This is a weird issue. After a few days of flawless working, suddenly the 5 GHz signal LED lights on the router (WRT1900AC) goes off. Clients on 5 GHz are connected fine and everything on router page looks normal. Turning off all activity lights from web interface and turning it back on doesn't restore the 5 GHz signal LED. 
    Last time it happened - I left the router to run to see how it behaves. It started dropping internet connection speeds to bare minimum after a day. It appeared like throttling and after a while all clients were not able to access router admin page. Then forced a power reset that brought back everything to normal. Now it's gone again after a few days of continuous run. Looks like a pattern that I cannot interpret.
    Anything specific that can cause this issue?
    Note: Running the latest version of firmware.

    Good to hear. I'd go with Linksys. Even though I maybe a "refurb", it's probably been thru testing and should work well. Nothing wrong in getting one from Linksys. At least you'll have a warranty with Linksys after you get the one from Linksys and have a case #. 
    Let us know how the RMA one works out.

    I spoke to Linksys support. After reconfiguring the router and verifying settings again, 30 minutes later the 2.4 light turned off, even though I had a connection. I called them back as instructed, as they suggested an RMA through Linksys, not Amazon. The only downside to that is that I have to pay for shipping the defective router back to Linksys.
    I feel a little more comfortable getting my replacement router directly from Linksys. I will update this post in about a week.

  • After I connect with my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.

    After I connect my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.
    switching off wifi and on again or going into airplane mode did't help!
    This problem happens only with ad-hoc wifi networks not with normal ones.
    (Ad-Hoc network was created on XP Computer)

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Sorry, but the 169.x.x.x IP address is internally generated by the iPod (and iPhone) and indicates that a network has been detected but no IP address has been issued. Your friends iPhone was not connected to your ad hoc network either - it connected to the internet through the 3G network.
    You should read through the Vista help screens on ad hoc networking for some insight how this works. You should be able to get some ideas there.
    In the mean time, $40 or less will buy you a very capable wireless router with four Ethernet ports and will simplify your network tremendously. Having used Windows ICS for a long time, the addition of a router and a real network simplified things so much.
