  • Unresponsive touch and broken lock button.

    My iPhone lock button has recently broken. I have arranged to get my lock button fixed but the touch has stopped responding. I cant even use the phone at all but not sure what to do!

    I honestly thought I was the only person to have this problem.  I've been locking my phone with Assistive Touch since about 3 months after I got my iPhone 4 2 years ago.  The spring in the sleep/wake button busted, so I've used Assistive Touch for everything from screen locking to screen shotting.  Well, right now my phone is charged, but the screen continues to stay blacked out no matter how many times I tap the home button.  I can't try doing the reset thing holding the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time because the sleep/wake button has been busted for years.  The most curious thing is that when I plug my phone into the charger, and my phone is set to vibrate using the little switch on the side, the phone actually vibrates and responds as though the phone is still operational, but nothing comes up on the screen.  I tried connecting my iPhone 4 with iTunes as well, and it prompted me to respond on my phone to allow iTunes to access my phone.  Well, nothing showed up on the screen on my phone, and pressing the home button was fruitless.
    I had my friend call my phone earlier, and it rang, made all the ringtone noise and everything, but nothing appeared on the screen for me to accept the call.  Additionally, my screen was blacked out for about 12 hours, being it happened about 2AM last night and randomly came back to life for about 20 minutes this afternoon before this phone decided to be stubborn again and unresponsively blackout.  I've already made an appointment at the Genius Bar tomorrow, but I just wanna say, 16boweh, we're in the same boat.  Hopefully Apple can give us a few oars (that hopefully neither of us will have to pay for (lol)).

  • Cracked Iphone 5 and broken lock button

    So I have had my iphone 5 less than a year. A couple weeks ago the lock button stopped working, also my screen is now cracked. Can I get the screen replaced ? or do i need the phone replaced? and how much will it cost to either replace the screen or phone?

    To do an out-of-warranty replacement of the entire phone through Apple will be $229 USD.

    With 8.1.2 there were no changes relating to Health, wi-fi issues, Bluetooth, etc. The only change was an issue with ringtones disappearing.

  • My iPhone 4 is stuck in the update screen and my lock button is not working. How can I fix this?

    I just tried to update my iPhone 4 to 7.1 and for some strange reason the phone wouldn't update then wanted me  to restore it... (Figures!) But my lock button no longer works so holding the home button and the lock button is a option I have to rule out. I have no way to repair my phone myself. What can I do?

    Hello Edward
    Follow the prompts on your iPhone and you will get either at your home screen like normal or get to a point of restoring from back up. The article below will give step by step for restoring from back up.

  • So i was updating my ipod touch (4g) to ios 6 and i needed to stop it in the middle of updating. so i held the home button and the lock button. it turned white and i tried charging it when it died but it went back to usual please help!

    so i was updating my ipod touch (4g) to ios 6 and i needed to stop it in the middle of updating. so i held the home button and the lock button at the same time for it to restart. It started turning on with the apple symbol and then the screen went white. I kept trying to do the same thing but it wouldnt work. Eace time i did that the screen was a different color. I was yellow/white at one point, blue at another time and sometimes the color behind the apple symbol. It got really HOT and i just let it die. When it was dead i put it on a charger. once it got charged up it started turning on with the apple symbol. then it turned white again and then restarted without me touching anything. When it restarted it turned the blue again. i took it off the charger immediantly because i didnt want it getting as hot as it was before. ive tried every way i know how to fix it but not putting it in the computer because i dont want it to ruin the computer. Please help because i really dont want to get a new ipod. Ive read a lot about how to fix it here on apple but there all the same answer and it still doesnt work. Please respond ASAP! thank you! i could really use your help right now!

    First see if placing the iPod in Recovery Mode will allow a restore.
    Next try DFU mode and restore.

    I reset everything on my iphone 4 and now it's stuck on a loading scree and my lock button is broken. what do i do?!

    There is nothing you can do as you won't be able to reset the device.
    You can wait until the battery goes flat then try connecting it to power so it restarts. If the same issue occours then you'll need to restore it on iTunes by entering recovery mode.

  • I got an iphone 5 about 6 months ago.  I went to apple 2 months ago with a broken lock button and they have me a new one.  My lock button recently broke again so can I go back to apple and get another one seeing that it is still within my first year?

    I got the iphone 5 six months ago. The lock button broke two months ago so I went to apple and got a new one.  My lock button just recently broke so can I go get another phone seeing that it is still within the first year? Or will they not give me another one seeing I already got a new one? I've had the phone for six months and the lock button has already broke twice.

    There is no limit on warranty replacements.
    As long as it is defective,not damaged

  • How to unlock an iphone 3gs when it's sim locked and the lock button doesn't work???

    I bought this iphone 3gs off an app. I just want to use it as an ipod. it is sim locked (with two attempts left) and the lock button doesn't work at all. What can I do? I just want to use it as an ipod.
    I have also tried everything. I took the sim card out and put it back in again. And I have also left it out. And I have tried connecting it to itunes but I need to unlock. (some of these were suggested by the seller)
    Please help me.
    im

    My guess - and this is completely a guess - is that the SIM in that phone has a PIN that was added to it by the previous owner. Whomever you bought it from didn't bother to check for this (or didn't care) before they got it from the previous owner.
    You need to get a new AT&T SIM for that phone - you could even borrow one from a friend if they have one that will fit the phone. You would only need the SIM to activate it.
    There is no way to activate an iPhone without a SIM in it, even if you don't plan to use it as anything other than an iPod.
