I was just outside and I got a text message, and I was going to slide to unlock my iphone but it wouldn't let me slide. It ended up going to a blank screen and now it won't turn on at all. i've tried plugging it into the wall and my computer, it was completely full on batteries though after a full night's charge.

Anyone have any idea on how to fix this? There's no apple store within 2 miles, I just started school again today, and really can't be without my phone.
 
o_O that stinks .. have your tried holding down the home button and the sleep button at the same time? that resets it...

I recommend the apple store lol

Hope you get it fixed!

Mines locked up before, it happens.

Hit the standby/power button and home buttons together to reset the phone.

Hold until you see the apple logo come on. Should be less than 10 seconds.
 
Yeah bro a hard reset should do it. And consider yourself lucky to have an apple store two miles away. Mine is 2 1/2 hours so when mine craps out i have to go to dallas.
 
LOL! Yep, I hope the OP got it fixed by now!

Christ, even Samsungs customer care would have sorted out a problem in that length of time.

In fairness out of all the Samsung phones I have used I have only need to have a problem fixed 3 times, I'm on my 4th 6s
 
Sounds like this guy got hold of a 6+ prototype many years before general release.:D
