My iphone 3G is stuck on the main screen and I can't get the icons to open, can't get screens to move and it won't reboot

Go to the home screen, press home button twice to open the multitask bar, go left once in it, and you should see the music controls, music icon, and in the left part of the multitask bar there should be an icon with a lockpad and an arrow. Press it so the lockpad dissapears. Hope it helped

Hi,

Please follow this steps to set back the font size or icons of your Iphone.

* Tap the "Settings" menu from the iPhone home screen.

* Tap "Accessibility."

*Tap the word "Off" next to "Zoom" to turn the Zoom feature on.

*Return to the iPhone home screen.

Tap the iPhone with three fingers twice in succession. The home screen icons will be magnified to 200 percent. To adjust the zoom level, touch the screen with three fingers then move them up to increase the zoom, and down to lower it. The next time you tap the screen twice with three fingers, the iPhone will automatically return to your custom zoom level.


Thank you for visiting FixYa...

you need to calibrate your screen. the touch sensor has moved so when you press on an icon the phone sees it as another icon. this can be done in the phone's touch settings

mine has just done this after installing Skpe, did you find an answer?

What you can do is hold the power On/Off button + Home button at the same time. Your iphone will reboot. When you see the apple logo, quickly let go the power On/Off button. If you want to jailbreak your iphone, go to www.blackra1n.com and download the jailbreaking tool.

Follow these easy steps below...
- Turn off your iphone
- Run the jailbreaking tool
- Turn on your iphone
- The jailbreaking tool will everything by itself.
- If you want to unlock your iphone after it is jailbroken, hit the blackrain icon and select install Cydia and unlock with Blackrain.

Find the application called iRecovery. Follow the directions that are included. There are Mac and Windows binaries in the same archive.

I suggest removing the battery, wait about 10-30 seconds and replace the battery, This sometimes will unfreeze a phone caught in one mode. It is sort of like rebooting a computer to unlock the cursor.

Just a feature. This is so you can move them around. It happens when you hold down on an icon for a second. A quick tap on an icon instead of a long one should solve it.

The last row of icons which is the bottom row with Phone iPod etc?
It sounds as though your digitizer is bad, the iphone digitizer is delicate and seems often goes bad.
does your unlock screen work?
the bottom off the screen handles the unlock and bottom icons.
if your unlock switch works then you may just have a software problem going on.
reboot your phone by pressing and holding the power and home buttons until the apple appears.
when it reboots see if it works properly, if not you may have a bad digitizer.
is your iphone a 2G or a 3G?

Restoring the iPhone will put Safari back on the main screen. You can do this by plugging the iPhone into your computer, and when iTunes opens click the Restore button under the iPhone Summary tab, which will let you set the phone back to its factory settings. But make sure you have synced all your music, photos and other data before doing so.
