Hello,

Hold down the power button and home button simultaneously for 15 - 20 seconds then release. Soon after you may have to press the power button again to restart the device. The iPhone should reset itself without any loss of data. If it boots in recovery mode ( you will be a cable on the screen ) you will need to connect to itunes to restore the device.

This is most ofter the #1 solution to fix this issue. Hope it works for you.

Thank you for using Fixya

Press down on your Home Button and your Lock Button at the same time for about 10 seconds or until you see the apple logo. This will restart your phone and should resolve your problem!

MY IPHONE IS FROZEN ON THE APPLE LOGO SCREEN

You need to a fresh restore of the iPhone. Hold down the home and power buttons together until the screen goes black. Then while the screen is still black, plug it into your computer WHILE holding down the home button.
At this point iTunes should detect your iPhone and tell you that you need to do a restore.
Hope this helps!
