My iPhone isn't working right?

Today my iPhone froze when I was turning it on (it froze on the apple logo screen) and I got it working again after pressing the on/off button and the homescreen button at the same time. But now when turn it on it says "Waiting for activation. This may take a while." and none of my applications are opening. Even when I get Facebook notifications and I click on "View", it still won't open. How can I fix this, and how can I get my applications working again? I have tried turning it off and on and I have never Jailbroken or updated my phone from its factory setting. Its an 8g 3rd generation iPhone.

Call your service provider for the activation phone number. (for Verizon it is *228, option 1 but it doesn't sound like you have Verizon.) You may have to do a master reset.

I saw online there are a lot of people who are having the same issue. I hope this isn't a defect on the iPhone. I think it is a software issue. If it's a software issue I hope apple realises this quickly and fix it.

  • Why isn't my right earbud working in my iPhone only? I have a pair of Bose earbuds and recently I have been having problems with them. The right earbud in them has not been working but it's only the right one and only in my iPhone. It has been working in every other earbud on my iPhone though the earbuds have been working properly, so what's the problem of my bose earbuds
  • Right headphone not working with iphone 6 plus? I have an iphone 6 plus i have used 4 pairs of headphones and every single one the right speaker does not work. Then i tried LG tones and still the right one does not work. What the heck?! Any answers?
  • Package isn't shipped to right address? So I recently ordered my iphone from AT&T and they really made it seem like it was coming via FedEx or UPS. Now I looked at the tracking on att.com and it sent me to USPS.com yet on the AT&T website when I ordered it said they don't ship USPS and asked for my physical address? What the hell is going on and will my phone be delayed to arriving?
  • My iPhone isn't showing the right temperature I've updated it, and checked to make sure the location is right. I know it's wrong cause 1 its the middle of summer and 2 the weather channel said the high is 115 and my phone says the high is 36. I don't know how to fix it and I would like to know the forecast for next week but I can't unless its correct… If you can tell me how to fix it then that would be amazing!
