If the iPhone is on and working, one way is to Reset Network Settings. Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

How do you turn off your phone if your sleep/wake button doesn't work anymore?
If a reset doesnt fix it (which it wont - that is likely a hardware issue), then get warranty service.

Has to be a working phone to trade it in at an Apple Store (recycle) towards a new one. You can do an out-of-warranty replacement for $149 USD and you will get a service replacement iPhone 4 with a 90 day warranty. Make a Genius Bar appointment before you go.

You can't. Either get your phone fixed at a third-party repair shop, or go to an Apple store & they will replace your phone for US $199.

So I have the directions to restore her old phone and realize her info will be lost..ok..but how can I restore it if her sleep/wake button is not working?
You can back up your phone to itunes on the computer before restoring so that data wont be lost. Once the phone if saftely backed up you click on the "iphone" section to find her phone details. There is a button that says "restore". CLick on it and the phone will restore

I took my iphone to the nearest retail store in my country and they told me they could not help me becasue I had bought my phone in the U.S. Problem is, the phone is less than six months old and it is already presenting problems.
The warranty is only good in the country of purchase.
You would have to get the iphone back to the U.S then to an Apple Store -
HT1430 I am unable to reset my phone as the sleep/wake button does not work????
My sleep/wake button has stopped working. I have checked the support site and it states to reset but I can't as the button does not operate. Do I need my phone repaired?
Yes. If something is broken, you generally have to get it fixed before it will work again.

Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

"Why didn't iCare staff which is Apple's do something..."
They did. They told you what you should do to get the problem resolve. Too, "iCare" is an AASP and provides service for Apple's products, but the staff is not employed by Apple. It's not an "Apple Store". -
I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore...
I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore since last update made yesterday.
How can I restore it without the last update?
Or, what can I do to have the Facebook back again on my mobile?
Thank you for your help.Hi Ricoco,
I too had exact issue what you were experienced, then I went to Apple autorised service center and submitted my earpods, their it worked with all versions of Apple iphones, but it didn't worked on my 3gs. The service technician suggested for OS upgrade.Then I came home and I took the backup and upgraded 5.1 to 6.1 as he suggested, also it didn't worked. I was totally frustated and suddenly I got an idea!. What a funny thing here is, a safety pin resolved my issue, I took out all dust which was there in the jack hole. Then I check my earpods, it was amazing you know..MY EAR PODS WORKED!.
If you still have this issue, I hope this will help you.

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup.. Restore as New...
Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:

HT1430 My sleep/wake button doesn't work.
My sleep/wake button doesn't work. I cannot believe that there is no alternate way to reset my ipod? My wifi is not working (it's "greyed out") and one of the restore suggestions involves restarting it.
Just try :
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

My sleep/wake button doesn't work on my iPhone 4 is there any apps I can download to make it sleep
My sleep/wake button doesn't work on my iPhone 4 is there any apps I can download to make it sleep
There isn't anything you can do about that except to get the sleep/wake button fixed. It is an integral part of the phone and is used for troubleshooting steps as well. Using a device without one is just waiting for trouble. However, if you want to, you can go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn on Assistive Touch. Then to lock the phone, tap on the Assistive touch button, tap on Device, then tap on Lock screen.
