My screen just froze up while browsing multiple tabs in Safari. It's done this before and I usually do a hard restart (sleep button and home button held down until white Apple logo appears) but my sleep button recently stopped working, a known manufacturer defect I was told by Apple but my Apple Care just recently ended.
I am Jailbroken (nothing to do with it freezing up, this happened all the time before I jailbroke) and so I was able to reassign the sleep button to the volume down button on the side a couple months back. Pressing this multiple times in combination with the home button I was somehow able to get it to the all black screen with the "waiting" circular slinky type animation in the center that it goes to when you respring but it is now frozen on that. It intermittently starts animating again (going in a circle) but then stops. What can I do? Thanks.
