Iphone5c wont power down and having problems with imessage and find my phone

I

iMore Question

cant power the phone down in hopes of resetting it. Tried holding the sleep button at the same time as the home for 15 seconds - nothing. Also messages from other iphones are not received as imessage, there is a delay of sometimes up to a few minutes , then the message is sent as a SMS. Imessage seems to work ok when on wifi, but not data. Find my phone app also doesn't work. Can anyone help?

Have you connected the iPhone to iTunes and does it recognise it? You might need to reset all settings eventually but you might want to do a back up first.

Question - dis the screen ever go black and did theological appear? It might take longer than 15 seconds. Is it in a case? Sometimes cases interfere with you holding down the buttons.

Try waiting until it out until the phone dies. Charge it up a bit, then put it in DFU Mode. Try to restore the phone in iTunes from there. :)
