IPhone 4: how to get to settings with no working buttons?

Hi there,
Just today all of the buttons on my sister's iPhone 4 ceased to work. The home, power, and volume buttons are completely useless. I have tried resetting the phone by pressing the home and power button, without luck. Single or double pressing the home button doesn't have an effect, however, the screen colors do invert when I press it three times.
I backed the phone up on the computer, and tried to reset it through iTunes, but I kept getting an error message saying that I needed to get into the iCloud settings on the phone and turn off 'find my iphone'. I can't do this, however, because I cannot get into settings on the phone.
Is there anyway to get into settings without using the home button? Or, is there a way to force a reset? Buying a new phone is not a prefferable option at the moment, but even a temporary fix would be really great. Thanks for any help!
Sarah

Log into iCloud on the computer, select the phone, select erase. Then turn the phone off. Remove the phone from your iCloud account. Now restore the device.

    The App store is a iOS function and cannot be deleted. Try checking other home screens/folders and see if you can locate it. If not, go into Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • SAPMMC All Settings Gone after running CCCleaner , How to get all settings

    Hello All
    SAPMMC All Settings Gone after running CCCleaner , How to get all settings back .
    I donot know what is SID ( System ID ), Instance etc.
    If this is not relevant to this forum plz let me know which forum ....
    Regards
    Rohit

    Turns out those error messages it gave me were because it didn't sync properly and create a backup. Which is why when I restored from backup it didn't reload my old info. Instead of assuring me that I would have the option to restore my info, it would have been nice had it told me that a backup hadn't been completed and that restoring my phone without it would leave me with nothing.
    Tech support had me use my old SIM card to import my old contacts. This worked, but I've entered contacts since getting the new phone that aren't on my old SIM. And doing so left me with a bunch of re-organizing to do (deleting, combining, entering First and Last name fields...) it took me several hours.
    I didn't get my appointments back, cause my old phone was just a phone, and that info wasn't on the old SIM, but I'm REALLY glad I got my contacts.

    Dear Gurus,
    How to get the table with no. of records after filter in webdynpro?
    Thanks in advance.
    Sankar

    Hello Sankar,
    Please explain your requirement clearly so that we can help you easily.
    To get the table records from your context node use method get_static_attributes_table()
    data lo_nd_mynode       type ref to if_wd_context_node. 
    data lt_atrributes_table  type wd_this->elements_mynode. 
    lo_nd_mynode = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_mynode ). 
    lo_nd_mynode->get_static_attributes_table( importing table = lt_atrributes_table ). 
    Note: You should have already defined your context node as a Dictionary Structure.

    I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
    Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
    The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
    Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

  • How to get ALV Display with First column alone in sort

    How to get ALV Display with First column alone in sort

    HI,
    You can build Internal Table and send this to the parameter "IT_SORT".
    eg:
    "the sorting Internal Table structure is as whown below.
    DATA:  t_sort_info type slis_t_sortinfo_alv.
    "Build the Sort Internal Table
      t_sort_info-fieldname = 'CARRID'.
      t_sort_info-subtot = 'X'.
      append t_sort_info.
      t_sort_info-fieldname = 'FLDATE'.
      t_sort_info-subtot = 'X'.
      append t_sort_info.
    Then pass this "IT_SORT_INFO" table to the Function module "Reuse_alv_*". (Note send the body of the Internal table only like "<b>IT_SORT = IT_SORT_INFO[]</b>".
    Here i am making ALV output sorted on CARRID & FLDATE.
    You can specify only the First Column name for sorting.

  • How to get command history with timestamp ?

    how to get command history with timestamp ?

    If you are using bash:
    HISTTIMEFORMAT If this variable is set and not null, its value is used as a format string for strftime(3) to print the time stamp associated with each history entry displayed by the history builtin. If this variable is set, time stamps are written to the history file so they may be preserved across shell sessions.

  • How to get imac 27 inch to work with asus triple mionitors to work through matro triple head 2 go

    how to get imac 27 inch to work with asus triple mionitors to work through matro triple head 2 go

    I think I got a little ahead of myself explaining my problem, so let me clarify...
    Only the one iMac is having the network file deletion problem, but it is included in the network user logon problem.  So 4 out of 5 of the iMacs have had or are having logon problems with network users accounts using mobile accounts on the systems.  2 of the 4 I have wiped and started over on and the other 2 have different network accounts being used by the primary system users.  The 5th iMac has not caused any problems except I forgot to mention that the USB on it seems flaky.
    So we are apparently full of problems.
