Just wondering if anybody has had issues with the on/off/sleep button no longer working on iphone.
Go back to the first post that you made and check for answers. I posted there. No need to make multiple posts about the same issue.

The on/off/sleep button has stopped working, is there anything I can do to get it to work?
Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Anyone had issues with on/off sleep button not working anymore
Anyone had issues with on/off sleep button not working anymore?
If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, use virtual Lock Button, tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even turn OFF iPhone. To turn ON, connect iPhone to power, charger or USB of computer.

Phone has turned off, lock button broken-Any suggestions?
Hello, last night my phone randomly turned off. The lock button broke about a week ago, so I have no way to turn it back on. I left it plugged into the wall charger all night, but still no success. This morning, I tried plugging it into my laptop to back up my phone, but my computer will not even recognize that it has been plugged in. Do i simply need a new iPhone?
Plug your iphone to your laptop and follow these steps:
(This will connect your itunes to your iphone)
1. Go to Control Panel (on your computer).
2. Go to Hardware and Sound; Devices and Printers; Unspecified (look for Apple Mobile Device USB Driver)
3. Right-click, then select properties on the menu list.
4. Select the "Hardware" tab at the top When the properties dialog box opens, once more select properties on the lower right hand button.
5. Under the "Driver" tab menu, the update driver button will be grey and unselectable here. So you need to select and click "Change Settings" button located near the lower left corner of the general tab.
6. Now you can click the "Driver" tab menu near the top, so you can see the "Update Driver" button.
7. Select "Update Driver".
8. Select and click "Browse my computer for driver software".
9. For Windows 8.1 64 bit, it should be located in the folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
10. Click Next, and let the driver re-install.
11. iTunes 11.1.4.62 should open automatically if your iphone is connected already -

Frozen phone with a broken sleep button
I went to go send someone a text and my phone completely froze. I cant do a hard restart because the sleep/lock button is broken. I tried plugging it in to see if I could do a restore on Itunes but Itunes didnt recognize the phone. Is there any solution to fix this other then just letting the battery die?
no. You're going to have to bring the phone in for exchange.

One small thing about the on/off/sleep button
I find it too sensitive. Whenever I grab the phone from a table and I inadvertently get my finger over the button, it activates. It's much easier to push than my previous phones.
I have a Bumper on mine. I don't know if I'm gaining extra traction by having a second button to push the first.
I honestly think it's my only complaint. More an annoyance and possibly only to me.I have noticed this too, I too have a bumper on. I can feel your pain, lol.

My iphone 4 will not turn on- have already tried using home/sleep button that has been suggested
My Iphone 4 is fully charged- and then suddenly won't turn on at all- I have read previous messages that suggested holding the on/off/sleep button and home button at same time to do soft reset- this has not worked- i have held them for as much as a full minute
Does anyone have any other suggestionsTry connecting your charger to it to see if it powers up; might be worth plugging it in to your computer to see if iTunes sees it.
If neither of those works, you need to bring the phone to an Apple store to be evaluated.

My iPhone 4S on iOS7 is stuck on Apple Logo, and it goes off, then back to Apple Logo again for hours. Pressing home button together with sleep button does not help. Plugging the phone to Mac and restart does not help either. What do I do?
Have not backed up for months, so prefer not to lose the data.
Thank you for your help in advance.Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons. Click the Update or Restore button that iTunes offers.

HT1430 My sleep button doesn't work at all I can't turn phone off or lock it
My phone sleep button does not work at all I can't turn phone on or off or unlock it
Make a Genius Bar reservation for your nearest Apple store to have the Tech person create a repair order for you. Be sure your phone is backed up to iCloud or iTunes prior to going in.

Like I said in the subject line:
My brand new iPhone 4S/32Gb goes off in any time of the day and the only way to get it back to live is through pressing and holding of the Home and Sleep button together for 5-10 seconds.
Does anybody have that kind of problem as well?
Thank you.I restored it on I tunes as well did something on the phone. The lastest seems to have helped it but I haven't used it much yet! Thanks for the help & I'll let you know!

My screen is frozen on the camera and my phone won't let me shut it off. My lock button doesn't work and my assistance touch button won't let me shut it down either. My phone also takes hours to die and my battery if fully charged so i can't wait for it to die i need to get it back to normal asap! How do I get it to unfreeze?
A reset is when you press and hold both the home and sleep buttons for 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo appears. You won't lose any data. Give it a try.

iphone wont let me recieve yahoo mail, tried switching off phone,taking account off and on. did a restore on my phone the yahoo server says on but it is pale so you cant switch off or on. my phone will recieve bt mail and internet not affected. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Hello there stidhambr15,
I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

Turn-Off screen keeps coming up - maybe broken sleep button?
hey there,
i got my 3gs on saturday (t-mobile, germany) and it worked great for exactly one day. on sunday i noticed that the phone woke up from time to time showing the turn off screen, which usually appears if you hold down the sleep button for some seconds (red slider at the top).
after that, the same screen popped up more often, it even interrupts other actions by appearing on top of applications like phone or mail.
sometimes the phone will make a screenshot of the current screen if i push the home button, so it seems like the sleep key is stuck.
the phone has no visible damages, the button looks normal and doesn't act jammed.
all this happens unpredictably so i can't reproduce it, but its happens pretty often by now and is anoying as ****
i tried restarting the phone, resetting the prefs, resetting everything, restoring in via itunes etc.
guess is have to send it back, i just wanted to ask for more ideas and leave a mark for other affected users.
regards
janBad news. I got my 3GS Saturday (6/27) at the local Apple Store. By Sunday morning, I noticed the "random" power off slider. Sometimes, the sleep switch works, sometimes it doesn't. It's gotten progressively worse...after less than 72 hours of ownership. I have a case open with Apple and a Genius appointment in 2 days. In the meantime, I suggest you DO NOT power off your phone. Apple had me do a reset (for the 4th time) and the phone would power down DURING the boot. After 10 minutes..and pressing NOTHING, it suddenly started up and ran. The sleep switch is virtually dead. The Apple rep mentioned something about "cracked circuit boards", but did not elaborate. I suspect something in the assembly process is trashing the board the switch is attached to.

My Iphone 5 screen went bright white and then black. The phone still rings, and I can hear Siri. The phone will not turn off using the awake/sleep button. What to do?
Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.
