iphone stuck on 'not enough storage' screen and I cant even answer a call. How do I get out of it?

Try resetting your device by holding down both the home and lock buttons for ~10 seconds or until the device restarts, ignoring the power slider.

Hi there -

Was reading your very helpful advice regarding phone stuck on "not enough storage", including the recommendation to hold down the "lock" button for 10 seconds, ignoring the "slide" command.

Do you happen to know a fix for this problem when your lock button is already broken and you are already using Assistive Touch?

I've tried holding down the "lock" button on the Assistive Touch menu, to no avail. I've also tried plugging into my computer/iTunes, which did not work either.

I'm desperate!

Thanks!

Without the 'sleep/wake' button availability what you will need to do is to allow the device to deplete all battery such that the device will then turn off completely. Once you have then re-charged the device this will then allow the device to restart with the IOS being refreshed.

Good luck.

Thank you as well, I got the same problem with my new Ipad, it did work ! 😊

Thankyou! Was this function present on the 3GS? I wish it was. I wouldn't have needed to replace my phone so quickly with the 4GS.. Back when i did.

Hello, I'm having the same problem!

This "resetting"-action will not harm any data that is stored on the phone?

Thanks

Thanks, this worked and saved me a trip to the Genius Bar. 🙂
