IPhone 5 lock button not working all the time

Basically I can only press the left side of the lock button for it to work. The middle and right side do not work.
If I bring it to apple store does anyone know what version iOS the replacement phone would be?

Nobody knows what iOS a replacement unit is running, only employees of the Apple Service Centre. But one thing for sure is that they are usually running anything before iOS 6.1.3,

Then you still are in your Apple one year hardware warranty and can get it replaced/repaired.

Home button is not working all the time

I have started to notice that when I press the home button on my iPhone 4 it does not work all the time. This problems has only started to occur and was first noticed around three months back, however I did not make a big fuss out of this because it was not as often as it is now.
Sometimes i find this extremely frustrating as it occurs even when the phone is locked and you are trying to bring up the unlock menu (which I know this can be done by using the wake up/ lock botton located on the top of the phone)
but this also is a pain when it happens, whilst using an app e.g. playing a game and trying to text someone. Because of the faulty this also makes multi tasking sometimes impossible.

Try calibrating the Home button.
1. Open a pre-installed app, such as Contacts
2. Press and hold the sleep/wake button until the red slider appears
3. Immediately release the sleep/wake button; press and hold the Home button.
4. Hold until the red slider disappears.

Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

Has anybody experienced the iPhone off switch not working all the time.

I have an iPhone 5, it's about 16 months old and it has experienced an annoying issue. The off button does not work all the time, sometimes I have to press it multiple times and other times it just works. The worst case is when it does not work at all, very frustrating. I didn't expect this type of issue for a phone that is not even a year and a half old.
I did some searching on the internet and there are 2 schools of thought, the first is that this is a hardware fault and Apple know about it but won't admit it because it would cost them too much to repair/replace phones with the issue. The second school of thought is that it is a software issue and a backup/reset/restore will fix it; I tried doing this but it did not resolve the issue.
Further digging seemed to suggest that it was really a hardware fault and the only option was to get a refurb from Apple for a ton of money, not cool.
Anyway, if anyone has any more information that could help me resolve this issue I would greatly appreciate it.

@diesel vdub, thanks for your suggestion, I setup an appointment with the Genius Bar and found out in about 5 minutes that everything I have read up on so far is true.
Firstly the technician admitted that there is a sporadic fault on the iPhone 4s and iPhone 5 switches, something to do with the design of the switch that included a rubber element that rolls up (whatever that means) and causes the switch to fail. He then indicated that the iPhone 5s does not have the issue because the switch has been completely redesigned.
Since I was stupid enough to not take out the extended warranty the only options he gave me were to purchase a new phone or to get a refurb for $269, not cool. Why would anyone think that a phone would not work correctly for 2 whole years when the phone only cost about $600!
Since I have about 7-8 months left on my phone contract I am not prepared to pay for either option. I find it amazing that a phone can develop this type of issue in such a short time and then expect the customer to pay for their failures. Apple supposedly sells a very high quality product for a very high price, looks like they have taken a step back from this philosophy.
I am disappointed in the options that he gave me (I don't blame the technician) but I suppose I expected more from Apple in terms of quality and service.

My optical drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 series is not working all the time.

I have a Macbook Pro mid 2009 series and just recently my optical drive is not working all the time. At times it decides to not spin a disk that has been inserted in the drive. I am currently deployed in Afghanistan and this is one of the very few things i have to distract me from the day to day haul. This is something that just started to happen and its very fustrating since i have limited support for this.

IPhone 5 lock button not working at all. If I'm in the one year warranty still but don't have apple care will I have to pay to get it fixed or will it be covered

I have a iPhone 5 and about a month ago my lock button stopped working. It takes me about ten tries to power it back on or to lock it. If I'm still in my one year warranty will I have to pay to get it fixed? I didn't purchase apple care though so I'm wondering if it's going to cost me to get it fixed or if it's still covered because of the one year warranty? Thank you!

If it's due to a manufacturing defect, the warranty will cover it. If it's due to accidental damage, it'll cost to get it fixed unless it happened during an authorized repair.

H:commandLink not working all the times

Hi,
I am working on an application, with JSF and Spring. In the application I have one page containing a h:dataTable containing records from database. The first column in the dataTable is a commandLink on click of which I need to call method frmo managedBean defined in the action tag.
The problem regarding the above scenario is that the commandLink is workign alternate times, like when the page loads first the commandLink will work fine calling the action method in the managedBean but when I click the same link second time it does not call the method in managedBean, then third time it works again fine. My managed Bean is in session scope.
I need to open the details of the link in a new window which will be opened using target="_blank".
Can anybody please help me regarding the above scenario and giving me any solution why the hypelink is behaving like this.
Thnak You in advance.

i am facing the same problem.
I have a view in session scope and which opens in multiple pages on clicking <h:commandLink target="_blank">
in a datatable.
The thing is page is opening fine for the alternate clicks and all command links in parent page are not functioning properly.
They are working properly at alternate clicks.
I found the problem from debug logs as the form is not getting submitted on alternate clicks which is making the framework to quit the "*INVOKE_APPLICATION*" phase.
i tried using onclick="javascript:submit()" as part of each command link but it is not working fine all the time.

Does anyone else's iPhone 5 lock button not work?

I got my iPhone 5 when it launched (pre-ordered) and I love it. I haven't had any major issues at all, until recently. My lock button has stopped working completely. No amount of pressure or repeated pressing of it will make it work. I do not have AppleCare, but I do have it under warranty through my carrier (Verizon). Does anyone know if I can take it to an Apple store to have it fixed or am I likely stuck with it?
Thanks for the help in advance,
DJ

Are you sure? The nearest store is a bit of a hike from where I live. It'd be worth it, I just want to make sure. I guess I can always call first. Any idea when the warranty runs out?

IPhone 5 Lock Button not working help?

I brought an iPhone 5 in October 2012, and my lock screen button is not working. Sometimes, my phone does not turn on or turn off unless I press the button 3 or 4 times. I did not buy apple care and I don't think I am under warrenty anymore so will they still be able to replace my phone?
Thanks!

You can make an appointment and they will examine the phone. Since you are out of warranty, then more than likely they would not make a warranty replacement, but you can purchase an out of warranty replacement for a price less than the cost of a brand new phone. In the US, the replacement cost for the iPhone 5 is $269US.

Second hand iPhone 5 lock button not working

i recently brought an iPhone 5 off my boyfriend but the lock button doesn't work is there a way to fix this?

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store, have the device checked and they will make a determination.

2. Press and hold the sleep/wake button until the red slider appears
3. Immediately release the sleep/wake button; press and hold the Home button.
