How to fix this

I just signed up for MacRumors.
I did because my phone was in my pocket it turned off and I felt a vibrate.
I was freaking out thinking I would have to buy a new phone :eek:
After bricking my phone like ten times In the last year, I got some experience:)
So what I did was I held the power and home button a the same time for a while. Some people say ten seconds, but I held it for 20 seconds then it powered on. It was around 40% when it stopped working but when I fixed it said twelve.

----------

if you are stuck on the apple logo just hold the home and power button at the same time for 20 seconds then go through a restore process. Hope this helps:)
 
So it should work if i hold the power and home button till Apple logo comes and then release power button after that but keep holding the home button till i get springboard ?
No need to restore right ?

My dad's iPhone 3GS was working fine till morning but then suddenly went dead and when he kept for charging, he got the red battery and bolt and even after half an hour there was no life in the phone.
I don't have access to phone as of now so i need to tell him to do the above steps to hopefully revive his device.
 
iphone wont turn on

Try holding down the lock button and the home button to do a hard reset. Or try putting it in DFU mode. If no luck, take it into the Apple Store to have fixed/replaced.

my phone wouldnt turn on , just tried this and hey it works:D thank u so much
