Z1 freezing when opening basic apps, the power button isn't working either

Many apps (including basic ones eg. Camera, Contacts) make the phone freeze for a second, then I just get the "not responding"error. When I press the camera icon I just get a black screen. Exporting contacts also makes the phone freeze for a few  seconds. So does Facebook, so does Youtube, so does most of the apps in my phone. I can turn of my phone manually holding the power off key, but if I want to boot it back up I have to do the force restart thingy (when you hold like 2 buttons at the same time) because holding the power key doesn't turn the phone back on. 
I've tried everything from safe mode to the red button thing, but nothing helps.
Help please

  • How do you turn on the laptop when it shuts itself down and the power button isn't working

    How to I turn the laptop on after it has shut itself off

    If you hold the power button down for 15 to 20 seconds and the machine still will not turn on, you should do one of three things:
    1.  Take it to an Apple Store for an assessment and estimate.
    2.  Take it to an Authorized Apple Service Center for an assessment and estimate.
    3.  Consider purchasing a replacement machine.

  • The power button isn't working :(

    The power button is loose and I can't get it to turn the ipod. I can get it to work fine if I plug it in first so the problem is just the button.

    If it is an iPhone 5 try holding the left side of the button down very hard.  That Power Button Issue which can render the button totally unusable typically goes bad in an uneven way allowing some function in the way I described.  You can use Assistive Touch under Accessibility to power the phone down.

  • So I have an IPhone 5 and the power button isn't working

    I'm still within my one year warranty but the phone has some scratches on the side of the phone and I'm debating sending it in and not getting a repair

    If the iPhone remains under warranty and Apple determines this is a result of manufacturing problem and not caused by accidental damage or abuse, the iPhone will be exchanged under warranty.

  • I have i phone 4 from verizon and the power button is not working

    I have i phone 4 from verizon and the power button isn't working anymore, I bought my i phone  8 months ago.
    What options do I have and what should I do ?

    Hello James,
    The flashing WLAN light means activity (data getting transferred). Try disconnecting all your devices and check whether the light is still flashing or disconnect the router from internet and do the check.
    Do you have your SSID as linksys or the default one? If your neighbor has the same SSID, then traffic could result from your neighbor's one. Try changing your SSID and password. Make your security WPA/WPA2.
    Hope this helps,
    Thanks

  • Is there anyway to power off an I-phone 4s if the power button is not working?

    Assistive Touch. Tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > at bottom of screen tap button > Device > press and hold Lock Screen icon > when slide to power off appears > slide it. To turn iPhone ON connect to Power Source with USB cable, charger or USB port of computer.

  • My ipad has a black screen and the power button is not working. Help!

    This is the second time my ipad screen has gone black. The power button is not working. I reset the ipad about two weeks ago  when this happened. However, this time I am not able to get itunes to recognize the device. It keeps asking to respond from the ipad (obviously with a black screen that isn't going to happen). Im not sure what to try next...thoughts?

    Have you tried to give it a reset?
    Reset
    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.

  • HT2213 Holding the power button does not work

    I've got a Mac Pro that stops recognizing my BD-ROM drive after it goes to sleep. I've been trying to reset the PRAM and NVRAM, per applecare's suggestion, but everytime I plug my Mac Pro in, it automatically starts up. I've turned off the "automatically restart" option in System Preferences, but it's as if all of that is stuck! So, I'm trying to reset the firmware using the firmware restoration CD, but when I hold down the "power" button, the computer's LED light flashes much more than three times, the computer gives a non-chime beep, then gives the chime, and then starts up using the Macintosh HD like I'm not holding down the power button.
    Is there another way to get to the point where I can use the firmware restortaion CD? It's driving me crazy. I thought it was because I was plugged into an Uninteruptable Power Supply, but I plugged it into a normal power strip and there was no change.
    Any help?

    the computer's LED light flashes much more than three times, the computer gives a non-chime beep, then gives the chime, and then starts up
    Here's the meaing of the POST chime sequences:
    Power On Self-Test Beep Definition - Part 2
    As for the power led, if it is a sequence of single flashes that none of the ram is being detected.  If grouped in a sequence of 3 flashes then a single slot has failed.
    Look inside your machine for any lit diagnostic leds.
    Blow out any accumulated dust.
    Reseat the video card.
    I do not think firmware needs to be changed/updated/reinstalled.

  • Hi! I bought my iPhone from USA and the power button doesn't work. I have warranty. I will come to UK soon. I wanna learn; can i benefit my warranty in UK?

    Hi! I bought my iPhone from USA and the power button doesn't work. I have warranty. I will come to UK soon. I wanna learn; can i benefit my warranty in UK?

    The warranty is not and has never been International.  Warranty and support are only valid in the country of origin.  The only exception is for devices sold in the EU where the EU is treated as one country for warranty and support purposes.

  • My iPhone 5 is disabled and the power button doesn't work. How would I fix it?

    My iPhone 5 is disabled and the power button doesn't work. How would I fix it? Please Help

    wait it for your iPhone to die then before it turns it plug it into iTunes while holding the home button and it will force it into recovery mode.
    will be hard to get the timing right cause u will need to wait for the battery to die and charge up again. Other then that just take it to apple and have them replace the device for a fee.

  • I have virgin mobile iphone that i found,the power button doesn't work and the phone is now saying disalbed what can i do to fix it

    I have a virgin moble iphone that i found, the power button doesn't work and the phone is saying disabled,what can i do to fix it?

    Probably nothing, the phone has a high likelihood of being stolen and if you try to Restore it you will run into Activation Lock. Turn it in to the local authorities.

  • My iphone turned off and i can't turn it on. I tried to turn it on with plugging into charger but it doesn't help. And the power button doesn't work.

    My iphone turned off and i can't turn it on. I tried to turn it on with plugging into charger but it doesn't help. the problem is that the power button doesn't work.

    Well, that is going to make it difficult, since the first two steps of user troubleshooting require the use of the power button. I suggest you get that fixed.

  • Is there a way to do a soft reset when the power button does not work?

    After needing to enact my replacement repair warranty, I received a device (smae one and same serial) but the screen had unresponsive spoots, and dim spots, I decided to turn right around and send it back again.  I got a replaced screen again, but this time my power button doesn't work.  Now, this isn't too inconvenient for me except that I cant do a soft reset or power off/on in order to clear the cobwebs from time to time.  Does anyone know of an app, or another way to do this?  I'm simply afraaid of what iddues it may come back with if I send it in a 4th time.
    So, App?
    Or, maybe a special keybaord combo I can put in like on phones? (IE  ##XXXXX#

    To remove the Restrictions passcode, you need to restore the phone as a new device using iTunes. Hit the "Restore" button on the Summary Pane.
