How do I turn off my phone with a broken lock button and screen doesn't work?

my lock button broke a few months ago and I've been getting along fine without it due to assistive touch. Now, my screen won't work at all.. I can't slide it to open it, can't slide to power off .. only thing I can do is slide down the today thing at the top and slide it back up .. I can get siri to bring me to my password screen but I can't type it in .. any ideas on how to turn off or restart my phone seeing as I can't slide to power off? This happened over night so my phone is at 94% as of right now and I don't want to wait for it to die because that will take forever ..

Honestly the hard really right now to say what you can do. How long have you had the device? If it's under a year you can take it to apple store and they can switch it out for free. If it's over a year then it would be at a paid cost cause they can't fix that issue.
Hope this helps.

How do I power off my phone when both the lock button and home button are malfunctioning?

My home button and lock button don't work. My screen is frozen and I need to know if there's a way that I can power off my phone or reset it.

Hold both down at same time for about 10-15 seconds and see if it restarts. If not, the battery will eventually die at which point it will shut down.
You'd need to get the phone repaired/replaced if your buttons are truly broken.

How can I restore my iPhone 4S with a broken lock button and with a passcode

I have tried restoring the phone by trying to let the battery drain and by plugging it in and holding the home button but that did not work. I also tried using RecBoot but kept getting an error message. The iPhone has a passcode and a broken sleep/wake button so I cannot put it into recovery mode. The holding of the home button method was given to me by Apple (called them). It is running iOS 5.1.1 if it makes any difference. Please help!!

If a reset doesnt fix it (which it wont - that is likely a hardware issue), then get warranty service.

How can you turn off the spell checker in Firefox? (The menu option doesn't work.)

There was a solution to this I came across a long time ago, but I don't remember what it was. I want to turn off my spell checker in Firefox. The usual instructions given for doing this are to go into Options->Advanced and de-select "Check my spelling as I type". This doesn't work. Period. And this is a bug that has been around for a long time in Firefox.
What's a way to disable this? I don't like seeing a bunch of red lines under correctly spelled words that just happen to not be in Firefox's default dictionary, and I don't want to have to add things to my dictionary either.

Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

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

Can I replace an iPhone 5 with a defective lock button and a crack in the screen?

I have an iPhone 5 with a defective lock button. It doesn't work at all anymore and I'm debating going into an Apple Store to get it replaced. But I also have a small crack in the corner. Will that crack keep me from making the exchange?

If apple determines that the damage to the phone was accidental then they may not help. I suggest you make an appointment at an apple store and have them evaluate it. That is the only way you will find out if they will replace it for you

I recommend checking your prompts and alerts to turn this feature off. This may be you "Call Connect" or "Readout" alerts. Listed below are steps to update this feature.
With the flip open, press the Voice Command Key (on the left side of the phone).The Voice Commands feature has several settings which allow you to customize how you want to use it. Access Voice Commands, then press the Right Soft Key[Settings]. Your choices are below:
-Confirm Choices--- Automatic/Always Confirm/ Never Confirm
-Sensitivity--- Control the sensitivity as More Sensitive/ Automatic/Less Sensitive
-Adapt Voice ---If the phone often asks you to repeat voice command,train the phone to recognize your voice patterns.Train Words/ Train Digits
Prompts ---Mode/ Audio Playback/Timeout
* For Mode, set Prompts/ Readout+ Alerts/ Readout/ Tones Only.
* For Audio Playback, set Speakerphone or Earpiece.
* For Timeout, set 5 seconds or 10seconds.

How do I turn off the Camera access from the lock screen

how do I turn off the Camera access from the lock screen ?

Only by hiding the camera via Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions. That hides the camera when unlocked unless you go to Restrictions and unset that Restriction. That is not way currently from just preventing camera access only from the lock screen

Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer you apps and other purchased media to your iTunes library.
