My Iphone 4 is taking forever to turn off? How to fix it?

Added (1). Okay so I decided to turn off my Iphone 4, you know when you press the top button for a few seconds and it says "Slide to Power Off" and when the circle with lines showed up, you know the one after you slide the power off button, and it's taking forever to actually turn off. It's been there for a whole day already and I tried everything to try and fix it. And don't give me answers "Oh, buy a new Phone" or anything like that. So please give me very helpful answers~!

You didn't describe your problem in detail. So, google is the best answer.

The iPhone 4 is about 4 years old. It won't work nearly as fast as the 6, 6+. So it is normal to experience some lag, especially if your running iOS 7.

Think of it this way. You have an 8 year old computer and you want to make it run Windows 8 at a fast speed. It just isn't possible because the CPU and RAM are slow.
This also applies to the iPhone 4. It has old hardware that just can't keep up with the demands of iOS 7.

  • WHY IS MY IPHONE TAKING FOREVER? I have the iphone 4 and its literally taking forever to send a text, the bar goes almost all the way… Then nothing and this phone is brand new
  • Why is my iPhone taking forever to sync? This is all I see when I sync. I just installed iTunes and this is my first time syncing to this computer. I just upgraded to iOS 7 today Also, my iPhone doesn't have the "Syncing please don't remove" like it does on my other computer. Mark, I find your lack of knowledge disturbing. I saw your avatar though and I was surprised. Usually Americans are smart *sarcasm*
  • Why is my iPhone taking forever to send text messages? I have an iPhone 4 and I don't know why just all of a sudden it's taking forever to send messages!

What can I do to make it stop, thank you
  • Why is my iPhone 5s taking forever to find the new update for iOS 8? My phone is connected to Wi-Fi, and it's plugged in. It keeps saying, "Checking for update…" with the loading thing next to it. It's been like this for the last 20 mins. It's really getting annoying…
