That is a different symptom than the known problem of the button not working but in spite of that the phone may be covered by the following replacement program: https://ssl.apple.com/support/iphone5-sleepwakebutton/

  • Nokia 520 power/lock button problem

    Had my 520 for about 10 weeks and it has already been in Nokia Care due to screen problems and now I am having problems with the power/lock key button.  Sometimes it will unlock first time or it will take several.  This started happening a week ago and it getting worse and a reset did not help so I say it will have to get sent to Nokia Care again.
    What I want to know has anyone here had this problem fixed and has it reoccured as I am getting very tired of the unreliability of this Nokia phone and although I liked windows 8 I need a phone that is going to work.

    Hi danterf,
    Welcome to the forum! 
    Is this for a Nokia Lumia 520 as well? Did something happen to your phone prior to this issue? How's your Lumia now? Did you already bring it back to the people who assisted you before? If yes, what was the result of their assessment? By the way, did you bring it to the store where you brought the phone, or to the nearby Nokia Care Point? 
    If you haven't gone back to the assistance, please tell us the phone's current status so we can further look for other possible solutions.
    We'll wait for your response. 

  • Why doesn't my iPhone 5 power/lock button work?

    I just called the apple support people and I had told them my issue of my iPhone 5 power/lock button being dis functional. I had also told them I went to the apple store in guilford mall surrey,bc I had a week left in my warranty at that point. When I went to the apple store i told the representatives that my battery was having some problems ( this issue was resolved) and I told the representative that my power button sometimes has a problem but not as much. The representative did not take this into consideration and told me " to not use my phone as rough ". At this point I had thought my main issue was to only get my battery issue resolved which was resolved, so I didn't really think about asking one more time about the power/lock button. 2 weeks after my warranty had expired I first called apple support telling them I am having many difficulties with my lock/power button. They told me at that point it would cost $260+tax to replace the phone. Then I told them that I have already talked to your representatives at the apple store in guilford mall surrey bc and that they didn't take it into consideration at that point. The apple care person told me "I'm sorry sir you could've have only gotten it replaced when you were still under warranty" and he said " the only option here is to restore your phone ( which I did and nothing changed) or replace your phone by paying $260+ tax. After I told them I would try going to the store again to resolve this disappointing issue. When I went in the store today I told the same thing I told to the representative over the phone and the store representative told me "sorry your appointment of coming before your warranty is not showing up on my system" then I pulled up an email confirming that I had actually come to the same apple store before my warranty had expired. He still didn't take anything into consideration and told me to just use the accessible touch or pay the amount to replace my phone  I am very disappointed because when I went before my warranty was about to expire the representative didn't advise me to get my phone replaced and simply didn't take my concern into consideration. I hope the manager of the store looks into this for the future customers and tries to resolve my issue. Thanks

    After your appointment at the Genius Bar, you received an email asking for your feedback.  I suggest you copy these comments and paste them there.  Ranting here serves no purpose at all.

  • Iphone 4s power/lock button click

    When I press the power button on the right side, it sounds different than I press somewhere else.
    The click isn't the same and this thing is annoying. I don't know if this is a problem, the button isn't stuck, it works well.
    I want to know if the click sounds the same, anyway you press the button.
    Sorry for my english and thanks

    Your Power/Lock button now has a broken component, this is covered by your Apple Warranty. Make a Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.
    The important click function is made by a plastic component just under the metal button you touch on the outside. This plastic component has a 1mm nub in the middle. This plastic part is damaged, most likely the nub has broken off. The plastic piece can be replaced itself without replacing the whole Flex Cable, but Warranty Service with Apple is best solution right now.

  • Annoying rattling sound of loose power/lock button

    iPhone 5s, 16 GB, iOS 8.0.2
    Dear Apple,
    I am here to report about the annoying rattling sound that is caused because the power/lock button is loose. At first I just decided to ignore it but after 1 month, it is getting very annoying. It rattles everytime I shake my phone. My phone also doesn't feel solid. Example when I tap the back of my phone, it sounded like some parts in there are missing. I am NOT HAPPY and I don't pay RM 2399 for a phone and still face these problems. I would really appreciate if Apple could replace a new iPhone for me as it is getting very annoying and I cannot stop thinking about it!
    Thank you.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You might want to run the Apple Hardware Test first--it's on Install Disc #1 of the grey discs that came with your computer--boot from the disc by holding down"D". Run the extended version. You could have a problem with either a fan or a thermal sensor. Since you are only hearing one fan, it could be that the other fan isn't working and the right one is running faster to try to compensate.
    If you have a fan problem, you will get an error code with "MOT" in it. If a sensor, there will be a "SNS" in the error code.
    You can check on the speed of the fans by downloading "iStatPro" from the Apple Site. If the fans are not running at about the same speed, something is definitely wrong.
    But I do think you should call Apple about this. It does not sound normal to me. The clicking could be the fan bearing going out. It is not a normal sound.
    Good luck!

  • Power / lock button on NOKIA LUMIA 720

    After updating my Lumia 720 to 8.1 I have noticed that my phone takes some time to wake up. There
    is a 5 second delay when I click the Power/ Lock button to when my home screen displays. I performed a reset on my phone and the problem still persists. I have also done a full reset clean one with Lumia Software Recovery Tool.
    Even on cyan version without developer preview the problem still persist. I have removed memory card class 8  but still persist and move apps to sd card, in other word i have done all the possibilities. My hardware was fully check  and
    its a software bug. Please help me.

    We have moved our support forum for OS Consumer Support,

  • Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even thoug it

    Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even though the iphone is in warranty.

    iPhones do not have an international warranty.  Warranty is valid only for the country of purchase.  This is most likely because different countries require different iPhone models.  Not reasonable to expect all countries to maintain stock for all models.

  • The apps on my iphone 4 are not responsive. The power/lock button is broken. Is there any way to reboot the phone?

    All apps are not responsive including 'Settings'. They quit as soon as you open it.
    The power/lock button is not working.
    I tried iTunes... there's no 'reboot' option (how sad...) and it for some reason not willing to restore my system.
    Anyone has any solution to this?

    Hello there, SmartLeeShore.
    As far as troubleshooting the main issue you're describing of apps quitting, you may find the following iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant helpful:
    Apple - Support - iPhone - Application Troubleshooting Assistant
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/application/
    Would definitely recommend that in Step 3 (Close App) that you close all applicaitons listed in that view.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • What do I do when my power/lock button fails?

    My power/lock button is frequently unsuccessful. Sometimes, when I wish to lock my screen/phone, and I press the button-there is no reaction. I press it harder and keep trying it and still does not work. Vice-versa, when my phone is locked, and I wish to turn it on, it commonly fails and the screen only displays the time (as before) or is just blank/black. Is this a model failure, or is this with other phones as well?

    Well iOS 8 devices are not recognized by "Classic" Mac operating systems.  So unless you have a Mac with a Classic operating system from 2003 or earlier Mac, you posted in the wrong forum.      Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to find out what operating system you have.  And if you don't have an Apple menu, but have Windows, then you really should be posting this question in iTunes for Windows forum.  See this user tip on where to post based on what you have:
    http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2463
    If you do have a Mac with a Classic operating system, unfortunately the last iOS that will work with those Macs is iOS 5.1.1.   See this tip on what old operating systems from Apple support what old iOS versions:
    iOS 6 and above, and Mac OS X 10.5.x

  • Power/Lock button showing volume icon

    Power/Lock button showing volume icon and turns it all the way down. Volume rocker will only increase not decrease. Cannot lock iPad without it muting my sound. Everytime I touch the power button it turns the iPad on when it is off. When I turn it on and press it to lock my iPad it turns my volume down. Is it malfunctioning or will iOS 6 fix this.

  • My power/lock button presses itself randomly?

    My iPhone 3GS's power/lock button decides to click itself whenever an object or my hand is near the button or just the top of my phone in general. Also, this causes the phone to turn on itself after I have switched it off. Can anyone offer any help? Thanks.

    Hi mickeyneedshelp,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like a button on the iPhone is not working. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

    If the Sleep/Wake button doesn't work
    On iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the Sleep/Wake button is on the right side of the device, near the top. On earlier models, the Sleep/Wake button is on the top of the device, toward the right side.
    If the Sleep/Wake button isn't working and your iOS device is on, follow these steps:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button.
    If you see "slide to power off," turn off your device and then turn it on again.
    If you can't turn off your device, try to reset it.
    If the Sleep/Wake button still doesn't respond, follow these steps and test again:
    Check for debris or dirt around the Sleep/Wake button and clean it with a soft cloth.
    Remove any case or film.
    If you can't turn on your iOS device, connect it to an A/C adapter. When your device is charged, try the steps above again. If the battery is extremely low on power, your device might display a black screen for up to 10 minutes (up to 20 minutes for iPad) before you see a charging indicator on the screen.
    If you have an iPhone 5 and the Sleep/Wake button still isn't working, or works intermittently, you might be eligible for this replacement program.
    If you've followed the steps above and the Sleep/Wake button still doesn't respond, if it works intermittently, or if it's damaged, contact Apple Support to set up service.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Power/Lock Button Replacement

    After replacing the power/lock button on my iPhone 4, I lost the function of the secondary microphone, ambient light sensor and the proximity sensor. I am currently waiting for a replacement part so that I have a second attempt at this repair. 2 days ago, I updated to IOS 7.1.1 and noticed that the switch to enable and disable automatic display dimming is no longer available. I have already come to the conclusion this is because of a defective sensor (flex cable) and would like to know whether this feature willl automatically return once the flex cable and sensors have been replaced... Or will I have to reinstall IOS.

    Tell you what KiltedTim, This is kind of a snobbish way of looking at someone who just happens to own a product he's quite willing to attempt repairs on himself. I will point out that the iPhone in question was purchased as a refurbished unit, with a new screen, battery and back cover, all of which are OEM. This kind of nullifies your statement about product support (ie spare parts) and should also enlighten you as to the reasons for me attempting repairs on the unit myself, as I already know it's not under any warrenty.
    So, if you work for Apple and don't want to be helpful, that's your perogative. However, I don't believe just because I've already removed the back of my phone (and so has the person I bought it from) that I should in any way be exempt from putting forth a valid enquiry.
    I don't really care if you work for apple or not, nor do I care about your opinions about anyone who opens up an apple product. The original question was software related.
    fjwhiston - Cheers mate. Hopefully when I get the new flex cable (a £3 item) which contains mic, power button, light and proximity sensors... Things will be back to normal... We'll have to wait and see

  • HT1349 I would like to know if the power lock button is covered under warranty.

    I would like to know if the power lock button is covered under warranty.

    couple of quick questions, when was your purchase date I.E. are you within 90 days of purchase, if so i suggest calling iOS/iPhone support, as you're within your 90 days of complimentary phone service and they could answer the question along with getting everything set up to for a repair, either through mailing in, or with an appointment at your closest apple retail store. also, did you get the applecare+? that covers two incidents of accidental damage for about 49 dollars to replace, as opposed to the price of an uncovered replacement which can start at 4 times as much. if its not accidental damage, you should be covered.
