View 1 Replies View RelatedMy iPhone 4's sleep/lock button is stuck in. (From wear and tear) It's out of warrantee so apple won't fix it, a genius did tell me to replace the button, so i ordered the parts from I-fixit and followed their guide. (http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-iPhone-4-Power-Lock-Button/4332/1) After reassembly the new button is still stuck in! What am i missing here? is there a part that needs to be fixed other than the actual button?

I was wondering what you guys did when your iPhone's sleep/power button was frozen. Mine still works, but it is very difficult to use. I have to hit it a few times for it to actually turn off. It is very difficult, and it acts like it is stuck or jammed.

I've just had my iPhone 4 replaced by Apple, as the sleep/wake button was continually becoming stuck in a rigid position.Â
Unfortunately, after the phone was replaced (and the data on the old handset deleted), I realised that - for some reason - my iCloud contacts were not up-to-date (I reckon I'm about 100 short). I'm missing key contacts from my phonebook.Â
However, when writing a text message on the new handset, I can click on the "To" field and start typing the name of contacts who were in the phonebook on my last handset (but not in the phonebook on the new one) and their name appears.Â
For example, the contact "Louise Thomson" is not in the Contacts app on the new handset, but was in there on the old one. However, when I start typing "Louise Thomson" into the "To" field of a text message, her contact details bizarrely appear, and I can send her a text.Â
Firstly, why is this happening? How are the details making their way onto the new handset, if they are not updated on iCloud? And, why are they not appearing in phonebook?Â
Secondly, and more importantly, how I can add all the contacts (IE the ones available to text) with a single click?Â
My camera & sleep button were both working fine one day & the next day the lens on the camera won't open & my sleep/lock button won't work. Can anyone shed any light on

The sleep button is broken for a while and last night I was updating my iOS and when it was restarting it got stuck at the Apple logo. I can't force my iphone to turn off so I can't do the restore steps. What should I do?

It had been working fine until this morning when the iPhone is now stuck in the loop of restarting and stuck in the Apple logo screen.I have tried to hold both the sleep and Home button to reset. But, it just goes back to the same loop.Since the iPhone does not reach the Passcode screen, it is not even recognized by iTunes. So, I cannot restore it, either.How should I proceed?
My iPhone 6 sometimes (very rare) does not wake from sleep when pressing either the sleep button nor home button.

Earlier when I locked my iPhone the button got jammed, is there a way I can get it out myself (would it be worth trying to stick a small wire or pin underneath to un jam it?) or should I wait until have time to go to an apple store and get them to repair it?

I bought my iphone 4S on March 17th, 2012. Today (April 18th) I noticed that the lock button isn't working and unfortunately I did not buy the apple care plan or any type of insurance on it. Is there anything I can do to get the issue fixed? The nearest genious bar is two hours away and I don't want to drive all the way over there just so they can tell me that they can't do anything about it.

My girlfriend has a blackberry torch which is suffering from a problem in which the lock button is not as responsive. When you click it, it's not making that click sound that you get when you click the mute button that is on the opposite side at the top of the phone.

If I run my finger over my sleep wake button it makes a clicky type noise. I've seen this in other devices that use metal, just wanted to know if I was alone on this one!?
Not complaining, just wanting to see if this is normal. Thanks in advance!
A couple of months ago I was using my iPhone in my room normally. I locked it and put it on my bedside table, when I went back to it I found that my sleep button was very hard to press. I figured it might be temporary and have waited until now. It is now completely unresponsive and I can no longer press it at all. Both of the water damage indicators are white from what I can see and the actual device has very minimal damage from regular use.

Does anyone else have this "problem"? The power button feels loose and when you shake the phone you can hear it rattling. Is there any way it could be fixed? To make it more firm?
View 4 Replies View RelatedOk, so this is probably the worst combination of things to occur. If you don't care about reading the story I'm looking for a way to put my phone into DFU mode without the sleep/wake button. If there is a way to do this please let me know - if you want to know why I need to do this, read below... Thanks.
Last week my sleep wake button mysteriously stopped working. For a time it would work with every 5th or 6th press, but now it doesn't work at all. So for the past week I've had to forgo the use of the sleep/wake button, which means that when I'm done using my phone I had to put it into my pocket and hope I didn't hit anything until it shut itself off.
It's been manageable, but I have dreaded the day that my iPhone froze or anything, because I have effectively no way to restart the the device. Turns out that day was this evening - it froze while I was in Gmail, and I was unable to do anything. Home button was non-responsive - basically the whole OS locked up. Now obviously if I had a working sleep/wake button I could have probably held down both that and the home screen and forced the iPhone to restart - clearly I don't have that option in this case...
Worse yet, I decided to try to fix my sleep/wake button, so I took my phone apart. I wasn't able to really figure out what was going on with the sleep/wake button, and while I had the case cracked open it died. Once I got everything plugged in again, the phone turned back on, and sat at the Apple logo screen for a long time, after which it superimposed a spinning wheel over top of the logo. Truth be told, I don't think that disconnecting the screen had anything to do with the spinning wheel, I think it's a result of the OS completely locking up (the likes of which I've never seen the iPhone do before... so something in the OS must have become corrupted... at least that's my theory anyway).
It has been/continues to be stuck in this loop. I'm not sure whether letting the device die and naturally resetting itself will do the trick. I'm leaning towards the idea that it probably won't help the situation. I have not yet tried to do a restore, because I'm worried that it won't work, and then I'll lose my backup as well.
So yah... does anyone know how to force the iPhone into DFU mode without the sleep/wake button?
Is anyone's sleep/wake button a little loose/wiggley? Same with the volume buttons. When I'm handling the phone I can hear it moving, it sounds and feels cheap I just want to know if everyone's is like this?
I am using a bumper as of yesterday, maybe I'm just now noticing it.
Got my iPhone 4 yesterday. Noticing something odd about the sleep/wake button. It wiggles very slightly to the left <-> right. I feels slightly loose. It isn't really bothering me, I just want to make sure the button is not like going to fall off lol
The movement is soo slight, but it also causes a very faint click sound if I rotate my iPhone. Edit: Well apparently the noise if the autofocus in the camera. But the original issue remains to be explained.
Everything else on my phone works just fine! Reception is great, screen is beautiful! Everything works! (Except this slightly loose sleep/wake button)
I can no longer depress this button, phone is @8 months old and never submerged or abused.
Button is stuck solid, can't depress or pull up, seems to be in the normal up position. Phone has been in a otter box its whole life.
Little leary about giving them a blank credit card to get service, Badly screwed by Toshiba once.
