IPhone 3g Application: Lock/Unlock Phone?

Does anyone know of an app for iphone 3g that locks your phone when you press it? My sleep/wake button is faulty and I have to use my iphone for a week until I can go to the store to get it replaced. I can easily turn it on by pressing the home button but putting it to sleep is a hassle since the button doesn't work.
So...
Can anyone let me know of an app that locks/puts your iphone to sleep...if not, is there an easy way to develop an app like that?
Thanks

If your still within warranty you can get that fixed

Otherwise your iPhone is typically set to lock itself automatically within 1 to 2 min depending on if you made any changes.
Not aware of any actual App that will do this at this time.

HT201328 Can i upgrade my iphone 4 unlocked from ATNT and currently on iOS 5.1.1 to latest iOS 6 coming with iphone 5 without locking the phone again.

Can i upgrade my iphone 4 unlocked from ATNT and currently on iOS 5.1.1 to latest iOS 6 coming with iphone 5 without locking the phone again.

If it was officially unlocked by AT&T, it will remain unlocked during an upgrade of the iOS. If it was hacked to provide unlocking, it will most likely lock to the original carrier.

I have had my old iPhone 4S unlocked by my provider. I have given the phone to my husband and we want to erase my data and get him an Apple ID so he can put his data on the iPhone will this lock the phone?

I have had my iPhone 4S unlocked by my provider. I am successfully using a monthly plan and a new SIM card. I have given the iPhone to my husband. We would like to erase my data so my husband can add his and use the Cloud to back up his data. If we go through the erase process what is the safest way to do this so we don't re-lock the phone and disable the current SIM card?

Hi
If it was unlocked legitimately it will never relock. As you said you have sent this to your carrier to unlock this will always be unlocked however many times you restore the phone.
Hope this helps

What iPhone 5 UK network/unlocked phone should I go with if I move to France next year?

Hey guys,
I've been trying to work out what option would suit me best and I still have not got a clue.
Basically I live in the UK and want to purchase the new iPhone. The problem is that I will be moving to France for a student exchange next year. Therefore I don't know if I should buy an unlocked phone from Apple (which I will do if there's no other option but it is a lot of money and I'm not too keen on that) or get a 24 month plan from one of the networks and unlock it somewhere else. Will that be even possible, I mean to unlock it manually? And is it going to work normally in other countries? Also what network should I go for? I'm currently an o2 customer but I've heard that they don't support the 4g?
I hope it all makes kind of sense. Sorry if these questions seem stupid but being a girl doesn't help! Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Weronika

Just suck it up & purchase an officially unlocked iPhone from Apple. It's gonna cost the same whether you take out a subsidized contract & request an official unlock vs just buying unlocked to begin with.

IPhone Configuration utility locked my phone now passcode doesn't work

Googled the heck out of this but haven't seen any posts even close to this problem.
I was testing the iPhone Configuration Utility, prior to deploying configurations to enterprise users. I modified the passcode settings to what i thought would be basic requirements.
I also created payloads for Restrictions, and Exchange ActiveSync, but haven't included in the post, since I am fairly certain they shouldn't have any impact to the issue.
Once I saved the profile, i deployed to my phone via email, and installed it on my device. It then locked, and will not accept the passcode that I was using before installing the "test" profile.
The only other screen that I made any change to, that refers to any sort of password/code, was in the General area:
I set a security password to control when the profile can be removed, but it is a password more than the simple four-digit that the phone appears to be looking for.
I can try 2 more times before the phone wipes, which isnt the end of the world thanks to iCloud, but I sure would like to know what happened....
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Bonesaw, I did connect the phone to the host running ICPU, but it was still looking for some unknown passcode. I ended up putting the phone in DFU mode as suggested by Kilt, and restored the phone. This is the first I've used the iPCU, but I would have been willing to bet the authentication password for the profile wouldnt affect the device passcode. I must have done something else wrong, so I will try it again and see what happens. Thanks for responding!

How should use unlocked phone outside the country

hi, my name is Allen. I live in U.S. I'm currently using a contract-free 5S purchased form Virgin Mobile. I found out this phone can not be used outside the country (went to China Last year), Phone company stuff in China told me my 5S is not unlocked, so i cant use it. And about couple days ago, my friend told me Apple have these new Sim- free Unlocked Phone, which can be used outside the country and also is Contract-free. I would like to know if I bought this Sim free Unlocked iphone6, when I travel to different country , can I use it with the sim card outside the coutry? and if I put my virgin mobile sim card into the new phone, is it still working?

It will work outside the US. You cannot use the SIM from your Virgin Mobile phone. Once outside of the US you will need to find a cellular provider that supports the iPhone.
The Apple unlocked phone is initially with T-Mobile. Their service is available in many other countries outside of the US, so you may want to ask about that before spending money on another phone.

I put a Tesco sim (02 carrier) in 2 unlocked phones, Both phones are now locked to 02, 02 blame apple, I connect the iphone to itunes and it states that the new carrier (orange) is not supported

I put a Tesco sim (02 carrier) in 2 unlocked phones, Both phones are now locked to 02, 02 blame apple, I connect the iphone to itunes and it states that the new carrier (orange) is not supported, Isk this of both 02 and apple, who's phone is this and what right do you have to lock a previously unlocked phone? very angry

Where did you get these phones?
These and other forums are full of people with iPhone unlocking problems - the net result is that, as others have said, is:
If you bought them from Apple they will be (and stay) unlocked.
If you bought them PAYG from CPW then they will lock to the first SIM activated.
Any other contract or PAYG phone iPhone bought from the networks WILL be locked by them too.
However, all is not lost. The original purchaser can request for the phones to be unlocked by Apple, via the carrier. The carriers usually charge around £20 to do this, or gratis if you're out of contract.
You are the original purchaser, right? If not, you need to get in touch with that person and pray they'll help you out.

ONLY the carrier to which it is locked can unlock it.
Contact that carrier and ask if they offer this service and if you qualify.

If you don't know the passcode you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808. Then restore it to an existing backup, if you have one.

if your phone is legitimately unlocked it will not relock. If you hacked your phone to unlock it, you should disclose this to the potential buyer.

If not than please wait until the battery goes out and try the above step again whilst device is off .
