IPhone 5. My on-off button rarely works. I can power off with assistive touch. Is there a way to power on with assistive touch, given that the icon disappears?
My on-off button rarely works. I can power off with assistive touch. Is there a way to power on without the on-off switch?
Depending on what you mean by power off. If you mean putting the phone to Sleep, you can tap on the Home button to bring it back. If you turn it off completely, then the only way to turn it on is to use the physical Power Button.

I dropped my Iphone in water and the on/off button stopped working, how do I fix it?
I dropped my phone in some water and it was only in there for about two or three seconds. I grabbed it and dried it straight away and made sure to get in all of it, and it was fine, everything worked. But about an hour after the on/off button stopped working, so i have to use the home button to unlock it and have to wait for the screen to turn off after 1 minute of leaving it. I cant turn it off and dont know how to fix it. Will it go away on its own, do I have to send it off to get fixed? This literally happened like two hours ago, and my phone is a bit more than a year old. Can anyone help me?
Make an app;ointment at the genius bar and take your credit card. You can get an out of warrnty replacement for an iPhone 4 for $149.
If you had just done it, the advice would have been to shut it off and put it in a bowl or bag of uncooked rice or silica gel for a week. Unfortunately, since it's been powered on for several hours, since then, it may have been permanently damaged. You can try the rice trick, but be prepared to pay for a replacement at some point down the road. -

Turn on/off button wont work on iphone 4s
hey everyone,
for about about 2 weeks now my iphone 4s turn on/off button wont work. It seems stuck and i just cannot press on it I hadnt dropped it or damaged it in any way. To make matters worse I am currently living in Germany and am not due to return to Australia until October. Does anyone know if I can go into an apple store here in Germany and they will replace or fix the phone under warranty? I got this refurbished iphone last year from apple store in August after my previous one had just broken for no reason.
To make matters worse, my phone fell in the toilet this morning. I have since turned it off so as not to fry the battery. Iphone seems still to be working but now im worried that even if i can get it fixed in germany they won't because they might say its water damaged even though I had this problem with on/off button prior.
any help would be appreciated!!!

I have iphone 4 and his on/off Button is brocken what can I do?
I have iphone 4 and his on/off Button is brocken what can I do?
This seems to be a network issue and is common globally. Apple seems to need particularly good networks to operate consistently.
I have friends and family with iPhones. Here are a few experiences:
I know that my friend is on holiday a couple of hours north of where I live. I cant call her. I call her partner who has a Nokia. Same network same place, actually sitting beside each other on the beach. The Nokia works fine, the iPhone, inoperative and no signal.
My Brother has an iPhone 4. We are meant to be in a convoy heading north. I am talking to him on the phone and he agrees to pick up our dad. he is on the motorway in the city. He is not in the country in some poor coverage area. I try and ring him straight back and it goes to answer service. I try again. I ring his wife, who is sitting right next to him in the car. She has a Nokia - no problems. His iPhone simply lost signal. He was not talking on it. His iPhone drops calls or is unable to make calls at all sorts of random places. The worse the coverage, i.e. rural in the country the less service he has.
My Brother goes to China on business. He is roaming. His iPhone never lost signal and never dropped a call.
Our conclusion. An iPhone staying connected to a network is a delicate thing if you do not have a powerful network with good coverage, particularly 3G coverage if you have a 3G phone. Your solution is to probably change networks and get one that has better coverage. Your other solution might be to get Nokia so that you can actually call people and use your iPhone for all of the cool email, games, iTunes and other functions it has. Afterall that is what is was designed for - the phone thing seems to be an optional extra. -

iPhone 4S. Swipe to unlock wont work can only swipe up for control pannel and camera but no buttons will work cant even turn off and on as it wont work. cannot restore iphone either as it wont let me.
Hey Angus97,
These are the recommended troubleshooting steps to take when you are unable to Slide to Unlock:
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

How common is it that the on/off button stops working? Time to throw away the ipod touch? Safe to fly? No more "print screen"?

i have an iphone 5 that i traded with from a family member. its has coverage but now the sleep/wake button doesnt work sometimes. can apple replace my iphone and give me a new one or is it just something they can repair? i dont have the box or recipit to apple care or the iphone
Apple can fix it without your receipt or box. They pull the serial number from the device and determine warranty status from that. Hopefully ApplCare was registered to the product before you lost the receipt though. If not, you can go back to the point of purchase and obtain your AppleCare receipt and Apple can help attach it to the iPhone.

My screen is frozen and the home and off buttons wont work. what should i do?
What do you do if your iPad screen freezes and it wont do anything? Home and off buttona wont work!
Have you tried both together for a Reset? Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!
Failing that see here for unresponsive iPads - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281 -
After installing ios7, my ipad buttons stopped working, I can't even turn off the ipad. Please help me. I don't know what to do.
Try to reset the device:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the
Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot
normally. -
