iPhone Welcome Screen.
Turned my phone on this morning to check the bus time for work but the bus arrived before i could check so i put my phone back in my pocket and turned it off as i had 16% battery left.
When i turn my phone on at work, the welcome screen has suddenly re-appeared and it's telling me to connect to itunes to set the phone up if i can't connect to wi-fi. At present i can't do either. Has the phone crashed at some point? I can't get past the welcome screen at all. I don't think there was a ios update today/yesterday. |

I’ve just “repaired” an iPhone for a friend with the symptoms you describe. The first thing I did was charge it and now it seems fine.

The screen when connected to wifi said i needed to activate my phone again. The question is why? |

maybe the battery drained after leaving the app open, and also sometimes the battery dies before it gets to 1-3%, if it does then try completey running it flat until it cuts off, then charge it too 100%, most of the time it sorts that out.
i can only think you got that message because the phone died/ran completely flat and maybe there was a glitch when it restarted itself. You said you sorted it by connected it to itunes though right? thats what i would have suggested, and providing you backup your data to icloud or to your pc via itunes, you wont lose any data what so ever, so dont worry about that. Even if it was completely screwed up, you can just do a fresh restore/install of IOS and that normally sorts out random problems |

It could be that the handset mistakenly thought you'd changed the SIM. |
