Iphone 4 is locked, not responding to anything.

Hey guys, I went to use the photobucket App, to upload some media, and in doing so the menu of uploading new photos came up, and now the phone wont respond to any input. I tried shutting it off, nothing. removed the SIM card, and it noticed that, but even after putting it back in, it wont do a damn thing. Now its stuck "on". Should I unplug it, let the battery completely die then reboot it? fuck this sucks. I may be able to take calls, but considering I cant make it do anything, I probably wont be able to actually "answer" the call. It wont get out of the PB app, or do absolutely anything whatsoever.


What gives? any advice would be much appreciated.

Hold the home and power button until it reboots

What he said...just do a reset by holding the power and home button.

^ Frick, I guess the 5th time is the charm. lol.

Thanks guys. I held them for as long as I had to until it finally rebooted. which is odd, the first # of times that did nothing, and I was holding them for a while.
:dunno:

Thanks a ton, thats honestly never happened before. :nut:

Plug it in and hold power and home, if that doesn't work. Plug it into laptop/computer and put it into DFU mode. Then reboot it.

I was going to suggest yanking the battery to do a hard reboot. :p
