Frozen Screen: If your iPhone's screen becomes unresponsive or "frozen," your best bet is to power the phone off and on again. If this doesn't work, try to reset your phone by holding the home key and the sleep/wake button at the same time. If it's still frozen, you can connect your phone to your computer and use iTunes to restore the OS. Remember, you should always back up your data before restoring in iTunes.
iPhone won't power on: This can be a tricky one. Try connecting your iPhone to a power supply and charging the battery. The low battery screen may take a while to appear, so be patient. If that doesn't help, it's possible that you may need to contact Apple's service center or get a new battery.
iPhone won't power off: If your iPhone won't turn off try forcing it off by holding both the sleep/wake button and the home key for about five seconds. Continue to hold until the Apple logo appears. Your phone should now power on and off normally.
Having trouble connecting iPhone to WiFi: First, make sure WiFi is enabled in your phone's settings menu. If it's still not working, there are a few things you can try. First, power your iPhone off and on. If that doesn't work, try to restore your device's settings by holding the home key with the sleep/wake key. If your iPhone is having trouble connecting to one specific network, try to force the phone to forget that network. (Settings » touch network name » choose "forget" on next screen). Power off and on, then try to reconnect.
iPhone camera doesn't work: It's possible that you have restrictions turned on, so first go to settings » general » restrictions and make sure the "allow camera" option is set to on.

Always power off your device before performing any of the cleaning steps below.
- Tool needed: Air can. It's simple: use an air can to blow out dust and lint that may have accumulated in the hole of the headset jack.
- Tool needed: Q-tip. Carefully insert a dry Q-tip in the headset jack to clean it out. Be sure to do this gently so you don't cause damage to your device.
- Tools needed: Tape and a paperclip. We call this last option "The Homemade Lint Roller Technique". First, open a paperclip into a straight line. Next, take a small piece of regular office style tape and wrap it around the paperclip with the sticky side up. Make sure the tape is firmly in place. You have just made a micro lint brush. Very gently insert the sticky taped paperclip end into the headset jack and pull out any lint or debris.
