IPhone 5 dead and unresponsive - battery full

Recently my iPhone 5 has been a little worse for wear. I've had it for just over a year, never dropped it - yet my home button has completely come off (maybe I was pressing it too hard?) and my power button needs a few presses before actually working.
Because of this I use assisted touch.
My phone's battery was about 50% when I plugged it in to charge for the night, I tried going on it around 2 hours later and it's as if it has died.
It has switched off and is completely unresponsive.
Searching for a solution to this problem, I see a lot of people suggesting to hold down the power button and home button at the same time to reboot the iPhone...
So what do I do now if I don't even HAVE a home button?
I need my phone to be able to contact people, but I'm currently in a different country where I do not speak the language - so I don't think going to an apple store is the ideal thing to do right now.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
If that does not work then it looks like you may have damaged hardware components that cannot be repaired / recovered with the usual user level troubleshooting
Your best bet is to bring this to an Apple Store

I'd just like to say that ahs70's post on Dec 1, 2013 at 1:17am on Pg. 9 worked for me as well: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5338609?start=120&tstart=0
If your iPhone's battery is acting up you need to determine if it's a software issue or a hardware/battery issue. To do that, after syncing your iPhone, erase/hard reset all data and settings from your iPhone to what it was from the factory as new. This can be found in Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. Then test it out for a day or two. If it's still acting up then it's likely a hardware issue and you will need to get your battery replaced. If your warranty is done than check out this link to get a battery kit to replace your iPhone battery yourself: http://www.ifixit.com/Store/iPhone/iPhone-5-Replacement-Battery/IF118-001#produc tDescription
If your iPhone is now working properly after hard resetting it than it's most likely a software issue. This battery issue only started after upgrading to the new iOs7, so it is obviously related to the update not properly installing itself. What has worked for me and many others is to manually update to iOS 7.0.4 using the full downloaded version of the update which is about 1.32 Gigs.
But first you need to find out what model of iPhone you have, click here to determine if it's GSM or CDMA: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Then go here and scroll down to download the iOS 7.0.4 complete update for your device: http://www.downloadios7.org/download-ios-7-0-4-ipsw-file.html
Then scroll up on the download page and follow the instructions of updating your iPhone manually following the instructions below: "IPSW with iTunes"
And your done.
Problem solved.
I only posted this because it was a very frustrating problem that no one really seemed to figure out a solution for.
I hope this helps.

We've think that Apple do it for making the change of the phone!! :O
what will we have to do for making the downgrade of OS of the phone?
tks Andrea

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
Apple has never supported downgrading of the iOS.

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

I have an iphone 5 and the battery jumps from 40 odd % to 14 in a blink. Also it turns off at 30 odd regular. Why is this ?

I have an iphone 5 and the battery jumps from 40 odd % to low battery ie: 13% in a blink also it turns off regular when on 30 odd % why is this ?

Hi, I'm having the same problem as well. It shuts off after reaching 20-30% and asks for recharge, then after 5 minutes I can turn it back on, but it keeps shuting off unexpectedly
Bad thing is that my warranty expired 130 days ago. Apple doesn't want cover a new battery replacement (and it costs $400 here in Brazil)
Clearly it's a manufacturer malfunctioning.
How did you proceed with it? Did you solve this problem? I have an Iphone 5 with iOS 7.1
Thanks

Hot iPhone 4 And Draining Battery

I had to wait until this January to finally get my iPhone 4. A couple of months ago I had to get it replaced by Apple because the ear piece on the phone stopped working. Great customer service by the way. I received the replcement very quickly. Two or three weeks ago I went to get my phone and it was very hot. I hadn't been using it and the battery had drained quite a bit. I checked to be sure and I had zero apps running. But after a shut down and restart it was fine.
But it seems to be doing this a couple of times a week now. I don't want to panic but would like to know what this could be. I just don't want to get stuck with a dead phone either. My year warranty is up at the end of this coming January. But I also don't want to make a claim if I don't have to, I really don't want Apple to think I'm trying to just get a new one.
Has anyone else experienced this and in your opinion should I contact Apple for a replacement?
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

I reckon you should take it to Apple and tell them your issue. They are most likely to replace the iPhone, even though they might not be able to see the issue at the store. I recently got my iphone 4 replaced with a new one because of a defective home button. The home button issue did not show up at the Apple store, but he said this can happen where issues occur at home and not at the store so he replaced it with a brand new one. you should be fine, as long as your iPhone is still in warranty.

Jst bought an iphone 5s and 5c battery keeps dying have noticed a lot of people have had this issue for awhile but I haven't seen any real fix. ???

I just bought a 5s and the battery keeps dying. I have noticed several people have had this same problem for awhile but I haven't really seen a fix.
I am loosing about 1% every 2 min as well. not very tech savy but I did turn off the LTE. I did originally let phone die all the way then charge all the way.
Have only had for 3 days should I start with taking it back and replacing? or does everyone think this is a software fix we are all gonna have to wait for ?
Thanks

You can try this link for some help http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/19/ios-7-battery-life-fix/. I do not see my iPhone 5s behaving in this manner, so there has to be some settings that you are using that are giving you problems. Did you restore this phone from an older iPhone backup? If so, you might want to restore the device as new and start over and sync over individual parts to see what might be bad.

I've just upgraded to the Iphone update and now battery life of the poor is very poor (3 hours). Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Tried updating my iPhone to 8.3 yesterday. iPhone 5 now dead and unresponsive even if I plug into iTunes. Help!

Yesterday I tried upgrading my iPhone 5 to 8.3. Phone told me not enough storage so deleted some stuff and proceeded. It then had a circle going round and round and wouldn't do the upgrade. I had to restart my phone a couple of times but it seemed ok. This morning went out with it 100% charged. Noticed it wasn't getting any phone signal so attempted a restart. Since then all i get is the apple logo on a black screen for a few seconds then it goes and nothing else happens.
I have tried leaving the phone in. Tried turning the volume switch on and off then restarting. Tried plugging it in to computer to do a recovery from iTunes but it's not showing on iTunes (which is up to date). Does this mean it's completely dead? It's infuriating as I'm a month away from a free upgrade from O2!!!
Any ideas gratefully received.

what you do is you put your phone into DFU mode, you do this by powering off your phone and then, hold home and sleep button, the apple logo will come up after it goes away let go of sleep button and hold home until it says connect to iTunes. This should work, it will give you the option to restore or back up your phone.

I bought the iPhone 4s and my battery used to reach 32% and then the phone would shut off. Then it reached 46% and the same thing happens, and now it shuts off at 53%. And it start recharging from the percentage it shut off at. What does this mean?

What does this mean?

My iphone 4s just developed a similar problem. Ultimately, after a visit to the Genius Bar at which I was offered a replacement phone for $149, I took the phone to a non-Apple repair shop which diagnosed the problem as tarnished pins in the docking connector and replaced the connector for $49.
The symptoms I experienced were that the phone would not pull a charge. I tried different cables, wall outlet versus computer USB connection, etc. The screen stayed black until I depressed the sleep button, at which time the red battery / lightening bolt symbol would flash three times and then the screen would go black.
If your battery is dead, that icon will not show up at all. If you get the icon, it means your battery is run down and needs to recharge, but the defective docking connector is preventing the battery from taking the charge.

IPhone dead and won't charge - strange dim red light

Good morning,
I was talking with my sister last night when my IPhone phone shut off. I assumed that my battery died so I put it on the charger. When I went back to get my phone off the charger I noticed that it did not charge at all. I tried doing a reset holding down the home key and the shut off key together and it still won't turn on. I left it on the charger overnight and this morning it is still dead. I noticed this morning in the dark that I can see a very low dim red light by the ear piece speaker at the top of the phone.
At this point, I am at a complete loss. I have no idea what to do. We leave on vacation tomorrow and at this point, I have no phone. Very scary for me since we are going to Florida and my oldest daughter is going to California. I need to be in contact with her while she is gone. Any help and good news is much needed!
Thank you so much for taking time to read this post!
Sincerely,
Angela

I would say when an iPhone normally dies it when plugged in does eventually give you an icon like an empty battery indicator then later I would say it turns on with an apple. If your under warrenty or with any extended warrenty insurance. I would call Verizon and say that your phone won't turn on at all and you want a replacement . It should take a day to get or go to apple and ask to replace.

Iphone frozen and unresponsive

All of a sudden my iPhone screen went black, except for the top row that shows the time and battery life. When I try to shut it off it does not respond to my finger sliding the 'power off' bar, but it does respond to my finger touching it when it dims to go to sleep, and I tap it, it will light back up.
I can't restore it because it is jailbroken and I use it with t-mobile. Any tips?

Press and hold your top button and home button till you get the apple logo.
This will give it a hard reset.

I just got my apple iphone 5s and the battery drains after a hour or so wether im on the phone or not how can i change this

please help battery draining sofast I just got the phone month ago

If you have Bluetooth turned on, turn it off. If I forget and leave Bluetooth on, it drains my battery about twice as fast as when it is off.
Turn off Background App Refresh in Settings>General
Turn off any location services that you do not need on under Settings>Privacy>Location Services (I have Location Services turned on, but in the Apps list below the button, I have very few turned on - Compass, Maps, Google Earth, Google Maps, Siri, Starbucks, and Weather).
Cheers,

I got a new IPhone 4s and the battery dies way to fast!!

I got my phone 2 weeks ago and it was ok for 1 week and then after that the battery began to die way fast. You see my phone used to last with wifi the whole day but now it lasts for 5-7 hrs. Also by standby it last around 36 hours. I also turn off everything what I don't use like push email, notifications, location services, 3G ( celluar data), turn off apps that i don't use at the time. And no change. I really want to fix this problem. Please someone help!!!!!

so it's still under warranty. Don't rely on message boards when you have access to Apple trained technicians to help you.

Itunes/Iphone dead and won't reinstall; "services" won't start

I tried to do the autoupdate to Itunes 9.2. It ran into an error. I tried to download it manually; that also ran into an error. I decided to stay on the old version to avoid making things worse. When I went to do a regular synch on my iPhone 3GS, it offered to upgrade me to iOS 4.0. I accepted. It got stuck on the iPhone "connect to Itunes" screen, displaying a USB cable and an iTunes logo.
Now without a functioning phone, I tried to follow troubleshooting instructions and go back to getting iTunes working. I uninstalled each piece of software in the required order, verified the uninstall, and tried to reinstall. The reinstall runs into errors because it can't begin certain services. If I click "ignore" to try to keep going, I end up with three error messages before the installation ultimately fails and gives me only the option to retry or cancel:
Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services.
Service 'iPod Service' (iPod Service) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services.
Service 'iPod Service' (iPod Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services.
I'm the only user on the computer, and nothing has changed since the last dozens of times I updated Itunes, so I assume I have whatever permission I'm supposed to.
Anyway, end result, I have no iPhone and no ITunes, and no idea what to do. Any help/advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Maybe a clue: I got into the Windows "Services" area, and I see that several services including "Apple Mobile Device" and "iPod" mentioned above are "disabled." When I try to change them to "Automatic," I get an error that says the service has "been marked for deletion," which apparently means I can't enable it.
Ideas?
