IPhone 4 blacks out, could not work with just pressing the home button and lock screen button, only worked when I plugged it in the charger

My iPhone 4 started to blackout out of nowhere and it wont work only until I plugged my phone into the charger. It has been going on for several times in a day, where it just randomly blacks out. Do anyone know what is the problem and how do I exactly fix this? thanks

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hear sound when press the home button, as if there is a gap underneath !!

Take it back to Apple if you think there's a problem with it.

Why does adobe photoshop elements 6.0 not show up for a download choice of putting my photos into my computer, I'm on windows7. I'm sure it did when I first got my computer. Could it be that I have lots of other photo software that may be interfering?

If you open the Organizer and go to Edit>Preferences>Camera or Card Reader, do you have Auto Launch Adobe Photo Downloader on Device Connect checked?
Try checking that if you don't.

My ipod keeps taking pictures of the screen when i keep pressing the home button, my ipod keeps taking pictures of the screen when i keep pressing the home button

I broke my ipod a few months ago, but I got it fixed for my birthday. The wake/sleep button was permanently broken though and my ipod still has glithces in which it randomly takes pictures of what is on the screen. These glitches have been small until today when I was using it. When I pressed the home button, it took a picture of the screen and it has been continuously doing that for about and hour now. What can I do to fix it? Please help.

I have an iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.0.1 with this same issue.
When the phone is locked and has been left unattended for a while, sometimes when I first press the home button (to illuminate the screen ready to unlock it) it causes the phone to take screen capture.
My power/lock button is not stuck, as I can use it to lock and unlock the phone as normal. There is however one oddity in that if I power of the phone it cannot be power back on by pressing the power button! To power up the phone it has to be plugged into a charger, which (thankfully) automatically causes the phone to power on.
I'm sure the two issues are related, but I've even after replacing the flex cable that operates the power button, headphone jack, volume buttons and mute switch I've been unable to resolve either the screen capture issue or the powering on issue.
.....it's quite strange

What happens to the apps when I press the home button on iPod touch?

Yeah, I know that sounds obvious, but I need to know the idea behind it. In iOS 4, you can multitask, but only if you have an iPod touch 3rd generation (32 or 64 GB). I don't have an iPod touch 3rd generation; I have the 8 GB 2nd generation, which I upgraded to iOS 4, so I have no multitasking for 3rd party apps.
So my question is: On my 2nd generation iPod touch that runs iOS 4, if I close a 3rd party app that uses Push Notifications (such as Facebook or Textfree Unlimited) by pressing the home button, will it still run in the background?

I'm not dead certain of this, but I think the only push mail supported is Apple's MobileMe. When you launch another app the current app is closed. The Home button should close any running app. The only exception I've noted is if you are playing music on the Touch which seems to continue playing even when running another app.

When reading my downloaded paper the Safari page sometimes comes up and I have to press the Home button and start all over again but same thing happens. I even made sure the the paper download was the first thing I did on my Ipad

Have you tried a Reset (No Data will be Lost)
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

When I come from outside and press the home button to turn my iPod on, there is white, light blue and red lines but it is transparent enough that I can see my background, time, etc. It hasn't been water damaged, so that cant be the problem.

When I come from outside and press the home button to turn my iPod on, there is white, light blue and red lines but it is transparent enough that I can see my background, time, etc. It hasn't been water damaged, so that can't be the problem. I was thinking maybe it is just because of the cold but, I don't like having my iPod doing that whenever I come back from the cold. However, I was in class too and this problem happened but it was inside! So I am very worried, I have dropped my ipod a few times but it hasn't fallen that hard to effect it.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My ipod touch automatically presses the home button

my ipod touch automatically presses the home button causing apps to close, appswitching tray to pull up, and turning to spotlight search. i dont think my home button is broken; i can press and release it no problem. could this be a software problem?
thanks!

I would try the standard fixes inorder:
- Reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer. First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Some times when I press the home button to read my finger the screen becomes black and it shows the Apple logo, this take a few seconds to get back the screen and this has been happening even 3 or 4 times in a row! What should I do?

What should I do?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

I bougnt my S5 a month ago and I am having two major issues. The screen is very slow to respond. When the screen is dark and I press the home button, it doesn't come on. I have to press the button anywhere from 4-10 times and then it usually flashes on

I bougnt my S5 a month ago and I am having two major issues. The screen is very slow to respond. When the screen is dark and I press the home button, it doesn't come on. I have to press the button anywhere from 4-10 times and then it usually flashes on and back off. It is very, very frustrating. The other issue is that the battery drains very quickly. I have called Verizon numerous times regarding these issues. They tell me to do different things that never help. We eventually did a factory reset and it still has the same issues. Help! It is a brand new phone and unfortunately I am in a new two year contract. Ugh. Is there anyone out there who can help me?

I have done that several times. In fact, every time I call Verizon with my phone problems, they have me do the same things repeatedly. I keep telling them I have already done them but they insist they are SURE it will work this time. It never does. After doing the factory reset and it still not working correctly, they act like they are confused, almost like I am lying. I did what you suggested above on the slim chance it would work this time but it did not. I bought two S5's that day and the other one works perfectly fine. I know I got a bad phone. Verizon just does not listen. It is a bad phone. I just want a new phone that works properly. Is that too much to ask? I bought a new phone that has been bad from day one. Why oh why do I have to spend hours of my time on the phone, in the store, on the computer, trying to rectify this? It shouldn't be this difficult! Help please!!!

When i first got my ipod i could turn it on by pressing the home button, now it was 2 years old last christmas and it takes me 4 or 5 trys to turn it on.
