Sounds like your lock button is stuck pressed down. You could try blowing out the button with some compressed air or using a toothpick or another small thing item to clean the area around the lock button. If these don't work you may want to take it to an Apple store to see if they can clean out the button or replace it.

SOURCE: HTC touch HD is completley frozen

If you have all your items saved to your computer with Active Sync, then do a master reset:
HTC Touch hard reset 14 January 2008

  • Power on.
  • Press and hold buttons marked 1.
  • Press and release 2 with stylus.
  • Release buttons marked 1 when menu comes up.
  • Press directly down on center dpad, marked 3.
You can also get tips & tricks from www.htcwiki.com
It has the latest and great updates, software, even known issues if you ever come across this. HTC does recommend that you do a master/hard reset once a quarter to keep it moving smoothly. Also, ensure you don't have a lot of open running programs. Perhaps once a day, clean the cashe and history. Do a soft reset (aka battery pull) once or twice a week. All depends on how hard you play with this lovely PDA device!

SOURCE: iphone black screen & buttons "pressed" while on call

I tried a solution to a similar problem and it worked for this problem, which I was having too. All I did was remove the leather case that I used to protect the iPhone. Calling and the screen worked like normal after I took the phone out of the leather case. Try that.

SOURCE: my iphone has a white screen, no matter what i tried

This is a condition that Apple is very aware of and if you take your iPhone to an Apple store they will replace it.
Make sure you take your receipt with you.
Other than that, I have not heard exactly what causes it, but i presume it to be a bad batch of LCDs or another critical part causing it.

SOURCE: iphone will not turn off

it sounds like your iphone may either have a bad battery or your motherboard could have gone bad.
Try restoring it with whatever software you have on it and see if it helps.
Here is how to get it in DFU or recovery mode.
Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";} Iphone and itouch dfu mode

Plug the usb cable into the Ipod and NOT into the computer.
Hold the Home Button down for 5 second (do not release it)
Then Press and hold the Power Button for approx 10 secs (count them out)
Your iPod will reboot.
Release the power button and continue holding the Home button for an additional 27secs.
You may see the screen go blank or not.
Plug the USB end into the computer with itunes open.
Your ipod will mount in recovery mode.
Restore it and Your all set.

SOURCE: my iphone keeps freezing and it wont go to main

Press the power button and the home button for 5-10 seconds it would turn off...if you have OS 3.0 or later then use Blackra1n RC3 and it will go in recovery mode after it enters recovery mode...open iTunes...your iPhone will detect you iPhone in Recovery mode,in iTunes click restore,it will ask you to Restore and update...click on that and you`ll be finished..it will get back to its original settings and its done..but if you don`t use an official carrier like AT&T you wont be able to activate it and you would need to use WI-FI and download two software`s from the blackra1n icon on your iphone...One is Cydia and the other is sn0w that allows your phone to work with all carrier`s so do it and tell me here.....

Recovery stuck

Turn off ur phone if you can. Connect your phone via usb to your computer and make sure your running the latest version of itunes. If you cant then just hold the top lock button and the home button until the screen turns off. Continue pressing until u see the apple icon. Release the top lock button but continue holding the home button. It should switch to an icon that shows a usb connecting to an itunes icon and will say "connect to itunes". Restore via your itunes on the pc/mac.

I cant unlock my i phone 4 forgot passcode cant link to i tunes while screens still locked

Two ways to resolve: 1. Hold down the home button while connecting the USB cable to the iPhone, make sure the other end is already connected to your computer. 2. Put the iPhone in DFU mode. After you have done either one, restore the iPhone in iTunes. Number 1 is the easiest way. Your can always restore from backup after the full restore.
