how to unlock I-phone 4 after it freezes

[rneumann]

Hi, I bought my I-phone 4 today and was trying to sync it with I-tunes and my phone locked up. The face of the phone shows the apple logo with a racetrack parallel image. I can not shut off the phone and nothing happens with I press the home button at the bottom of the phone.

Any suggestions and or help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Roger

Soft Reset...Hold down the home and sleep/wake until you see the apple logo again. It should boot up just fine after that.

The solution offered above by DannyBoy works for almost any freeze up or malfunction of the iPhone 4.
