How can i restart my phone if the power button is not working?

My power button is not working and my phone freezes every now and them. I read I should restart it. Is there another way to restart it without using the power button?
Also, I use the on-screen assistance icon but it does not have a power off option.

That's correct.  Because how would you turn it back on again if the screen was off and your power button was on the screen?
Yo need to fix the button, or try letting the iPhone die out completely, then connect it to power and after it's charged for a while, see what happens when you press the Home button.

    The best way is to let the battery die. Or you can reset the phone settings which restarts everything.

    Assistive Touch. Tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > at bottom of screen tap button > Device > press and hold Lock Screen icon > when slide to power off appears > slide it. To turn iPhone ON connect to Power Source with USB cable, charger or USB port of computer.

  • My ipad has a black screen and the power button is not working. Help!

    This is the second time my ipad screen has gone black. The power button is not working. I reset the ipad about two weeks ago  when this happened. However, this time I am not able to get itunes to recognize the device. It keeps asking to respond from the ipad (obviously with a black screen that isn't going to happen). Im not sure what to try next...thoughts?

    Have you tried to give it a reset?
    Reset
    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.

  • I have i phone 4 from verizon and the power button is not working

    I have i phone 4 from verizon and the power button isn't working anymore, I bought my i phone  8 months ago.
    What options do I have and what should I do ?

    Hello James,
    The flashing WLAN light means activity (data getting transferred). Try disconnecting all your devices and check whether the light is still flashing or disconnect the router from internet and do the check.
    Do you have your SSID as linksys or the default one? If your neighbor has the same SSID, then traffic could result from your neighbor's one. Try changing your SSID and password. Make your security WPA/WPA2.
    Hope this helps,
    Thanks

  • The power button does not work

    i recently noticed that my original iphone power button does not work i push but nothing happens. I know that i have to fix but the problems is that the warranty is been over for long i need to know a good place to repair because the apple people said they could not fix it. I live in Texas so somewhere close would be nice.

  • My MacBook pro is frozen and I can't restart, even by using the power button or control command

    Hi- my MacBook pro froze about an hour ago and I've been unable to reboot it. Any suggestions? I've tried the power button, control + command + restart, erc ad none of them do anything.

    Hold down the power button for 6-7 seconds.  It will power off, then click the power button to turn on again.

    First begin by resetting the SMC (system management controller) on your macbook as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Have you recently changed any hardware ? May there have been any condensation that found it's way on the greater area of the keyboard and specifically near the power button ? Have you tried pressing the area directly near the said button and then pressing the power button itself simultaneously with the possibility the contact may have gone haywire ?
    Good luck.

  • Is there a way to do a soft reset when the power button does not work?

    After needing to enact my replacement repair warranty, I received a device (smae one and same serial) but the screen had unresponsive spoots, and dim spots, I decided to turn right around and send it back again.  I got a replaced screen again, but this time my power button doesn't work.  Now, this isn't too inconvenient for me except that I cant do a soft reset or power off/on in order to clear the cobwebs from time to time.  Does anyone know of an app, or another way to do this?  I'm simply afraaid of what iddues it may come back with if I send it in a 4th time.
    So, App?
    Or, maybe a special keybaord combo I can put in like on phones? (IE  ##XXXXX#

    To remove the Restrictions passcode, you need to restore the phone as a new device using iTunes. Hit the "Restore" button on the Summary Pane.

    If it's physically stuck it might be best to bring it into the Apple store at George Street Sydney.

  • HT2213 Holding the power button does not work

    I've got a Mac Pro that stops recognizing my BD-ROM drive after it goes to sleep. I've been trying to reset the PRAM and NVRAM, per applecare's suggestion, but everytime I plug my Mac Pro in, it automatically starts up. I've turned off the "automatically restart" option in System Preferences, but it's as if all of that is stuck! So, I'm trying to reset the firmware using the firmware restoration CD, but when I hold down the "power" button, the computer's LED light flashes much more than three times, the computer gives a non-chime beep, then gives the chime, and then starts up using the Macintosh HD like I'm not holding down the power button.
    Is there another way to get to the point where I can use the firmware restortaion CD? It's driving me crazy. I thought it was because I was plugged into an Uninteruptable Power Supply, but I plugged it into a normal power strip and there was no change.
    Any help?

    the computer's LED light flashes much more than three times, the computer gives a non-chime beep, then gives the chime, and then starts up
    Here's the meaing of the POST chime sequences:
    Power On Self-Test Beep Definition - Part 2
    As for the power led, if it is a sequence of single flashes that none of the ram is being detected.  If grouped in a sequence of 3 flashes then a single slot has failed.
    Look inside your machine for any lit diagnostic leds.
    Blow out any accumulated dust.
    Reseat the video card.
    I do not think firmware needs to be changed/updated/reinstalled.

  • HT4528 My iPhone 4S won't let me end calls. I have read to restart your phone, but my power button doesn't work so I can't do that. Does anyone have any suggestions.

    My Iphone 4s wont let me end calls. It freezes on the call screen. I can press END CALL many times and try to end it, but it wont end. I have read that I need to restart my phone or turn it off then turn it back on, but my power button doesnt work.  Can anyone help me or give me suggestions. Thank you!

    i think its the assistive touch bc i got that when my home button broke and my lock button is also broken and now it wont let me slid the unlock button, and i shut it down then turned it back on so it automatically showed the keypad and it would only let me press 3 and thats it. i also read a few other topics about it not unlocking and they all used the assistive touch.
