Turned phone off and now its black and gray screen

I turned my phone off and now the screen is black and gray and wont do anything. I just had a screen replacement done on my phone. I need my phone to work. HELP!

Hold the home button and the on/off switch simultaneously for at least 30 seconds or until you see the apple logo, indicating your phone's being rebooted.

    Do you have an active data connection (wifi or cellular)? Have you tried resetting the phone by pressing and holding the Home and power buttons until the apple appears (this is different than just turning it off and back on).

    Hi Ellen,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPhone 4 has a dim or blank black screen but responds to some commands like enabling vibrate. I understand this may be a frustrating situation, but the troubleshooting suggestions in the article below will help you solve the issue.
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If your screen is too dim, too bright, or you see only faint images
    Try to adjust the brightness. If the screen doesn’t respond when you adjust the brightness, open several apps to make sure it’s not an issue with only one app.
    If you have a screen protector, try removing it. Try removing your case if it includes a screen protector.
    If you see the issue in multiple apps, restart your device.
    If restarting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Take care,
    -Jason

    You're gonna have to figure out a way to call AppleCare...there is no AppleCare where you live...somewhere, & ask to talk to "Account Security". Here's a list of worldwide support numbers:

  • Have to turn phone off and on to get Comcast email

    I can't get my Comcast email to "fetch" without turning my phone off and then on again. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions?
    I have followed apple's and comcast's instructions carefully in setting it up on my iPhone so don't know what the problem is...
    Thanks!

    Same problem Willow. Fetch doesn't work for more than an hour on any of my POP accounts. It appears to be a problem with the software.
    This is completely whacked, but here is what I did and it turned all my POP accounts into Push, so I get email immediately.
    I have Comcast for my wife, and still am trying to get my friends and customers to migrate to my Verizon account. I also have a company email which is Exchange, but I currently only use POP here. I have a free gmail account (it's not push), and a Mobile me account.
    I set up Verizon and Comcast to forward to my Mobile Me account (60 day trial). No joy here, simply wouldn't work reliably if at all.
    So after spending several hours today of trial and error I found that by forwarding Verizon and Comcast to my Gmail account and then from there forwarding to my Mobile me account using my company's server for the outgoing mail, mail from all accounts except that from my company's server arrive immediately.
    I have instructed my customers to use the Verizon or Comcast account as my preference, so it's not critical to have that account pushed. My company's server is Exchange, so I could at some point convert that on my phone and that email would be pushed as well. I have Gmail set up to enable POP and IMAP. When messages are accessed with POP...keep Gmail's copy in the inbox. When forwarding to Mobile Me, it's set up to delete Gmail's copy so I don't get duplicates
    A caveat for me and anyone else who might try this with Verizon (not for you if you use Comcast). Verizon does not keep local copies of messages that have been forwarded. If the message coming into my Verizon account is critical, I have to forward it back to myself from Mobile Me where it ends up now, to have a local copy on my Mac at home. Comcast does allow a local copy so when I'm home I get 2 copies of the same message using Apple Mail.
    This is all pretty whacky, but until Apple gets the next software iteration out it works for me.
    I'll keep you all posted, but for now it's working fine.

  • TouchID for App Store purchases doesn't work after turning phone off and back on?

    TouchID for unlocking my iPhone 5s works 99.9% of the time.  It's fantastic.  However, using it to authorize App Store purchases, NOT in-app purchases, is less fantastic.  In my case, it seems like every time I turn my phone off and back on, the phone forgets it's can use TouchID to authorize app purchases.  I have to go into Settings -> General -> Passcode & Fingerprint -> (enter my passcode) -> Fingerprints -> iTunes & App Store, and turn that off.  Then I have to turn it back on and enter my Apple ID password.  Not exactly a quick procedure.  The good news is that once I turn it back on, it works like it's supposed to until I turn my phone off and back on again.  If it can remember to use TouchID for unlocking the phone, why can't it remember to use TouchID for authorizing App Store stuff?  Am I missing something?
    Anyone else experiencing the same thing and/or have a solution?  Thanks!

    I don't have any restrictions set on my phone at all.

  • HT1695 WiFi is off in Settings and will not allow me to turn ON.  I have turned phone off and no change.

    In "Settings"  Wi-Fi is "Off" and will not allow me to turn it ack on.  I ave turned the phone off but it does not Chang anything.

    Try doing a reset on the iPhone,
    Reset your iPhone by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPhone will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

  • My mini i pad has frozen. I cant turn it off and the screen doesnt function. It has frozen with a message on the screen saying ive run out of storage in i cloud and has two boxes for either close or settings  But i cant get out of this screen  Any ideas?

    Hi
    My mini i pad has frozen. I cant turn it off or opporate the screen. I have a nessage on screan telling me my storage is full in i cloud but I cant navigate to settings or close

    Try this to get rid of the message.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT5654 My wife has tried to do an update on her new Iphone 5C and now it locked with the screen on the phone locked with connect to ITunes with a cable and connector with an arrow pointing to a round ITunes logo, I can turn phone off and on same screen.

    The wife tried to do an update on her new IPhone 5c now it is frozen at an ITunes screen, the screen has a pic of a cable and phone connector pointing to an ITunes symbol with the word ITunes under it. when it tries to do a restore the computer comes up with an error 21.
    What has she done.

    Check for hardware issues
    Related errors: 1, 3, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020, 1669.
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Error 1015 might happen after making unauthorized modifications to iOS, also called "jailbreaking."

  • Have an IPhone 4S that the phone part of the device locks up when I try to retrieve voicemail, have to turn phone off and on several times to use phone, any ideas?

    any help is appreciated, thanks

    Number one - that person has given you false information...the Apple store genius bar supports all Apple products whether in or out of warranty.  Checking is free, service on an out of warranty item is not free.
    Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
    Since you show that you have iOS 7.0.3 you might want to update that iOS to 7.0.4...plug the iPhone in so you are on a solid power source, then while on a WiFi go to Settings > General > Software Update and update to 7.0.4.

  • My iPhone totally locked up - I cannot turn it off and the screen just will

    You need to reset it by holding down the power button and the home button for 8-10 seconds and all should be fine.

  • HT6154 itune restored and turn phone off automatically.  now we cant activate the phone with apple id or password

    After itunes turned phone off and restored for no reason it is not allowing us to use current apple id or password.  How do I fix this?

    Is it asking for the password of a previous Apple ID? Are you the original owner of this iPhone?
    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. No must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide.

    Try this First...
    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...
