IPhone 5 Power Button flaky since upgrade to iOS 7

I never had any issues with the power/sleep button on my iPhone 5 in the past.  However, immediately after upgrading to iOS 7 I started having issues with the button not responding very well.  It can take numerous presses to get it to work, or sometimes it just works on the first try.  I have updated to the latest 7.0.1 and 7.0.2 but with no change in behavior.  I am fairly certain that there is some sort of issue or bug with iOS 7, and that it is not a hardware issue.
Has anyone else come across this problem, and if so, was there anything found that could possibly fix it (aside from restoring an old backup of the phone before it was upgraded to iOS7)?

The problem for me was litterally overnight.. fine before iOS 7.. problem showed up the day after the update. While it could be a coincidence, the general sluggishness of iOS 7 on my iPhone 5 and the timing is highly suggestive of an iOS 7 problem. My iPhone 5 used to feel so much snappier than my wife's 4S with iOS 6.. she didnt update.. and the difference between the two phones now just isnt there. Certain things are faster (well at least Safari) with iOS 7, but im kinda bummed that my phone is no longer as "snappy" as it was before the update.
Having been a Mac user since around 98, and being one of the first to have the Mac OS 10.. i am used to OS updates being an improvement (10 was buggy.. but got better fast.. even on my iBook 466SE).
I understand that with phones the hardware is making quantum leaps each year.. and you cant expect a phone to be able to handle an OS designed around what is esentially completely different hardware.. but a year-old phone that has the same processor as a new 5c should not feel sluggish.
I'm cool with progress.. and rather Apple make leaps in hardware capability.. and don't necessarily want them to get caught up in supporting legacy hardware.. but the 5 is not really legacy when Apple sticks to a 1 year upgrade cycle.

  • Some iPhones cannot download our podcast since upgrading to IOS.5?

    Our podcast can be downloaded fine on iTune sand on most mobile devices, but some people say it stops downloading after 15.6kb. Why would this be, they have said it has happened since they upgraded to the IOS.5?

    Hi, I found your question whilst trying to work out why my podcasts were doing this. Thought I'd update with my solution in case it's of help to you.
    I found the solution by trial and error in the end. I moved the mp3 files onto another hosting space that we had to see if that helped, and it fixed it.
    I can only assume that because the files were uploaded into our CMS originally, something weird was happening on ios devices to stop it downloading.
    Might be worth moving your files just to see? I found your site (saw a similar question you posted with the feed in another bit of this site) and I noticed it's made with Drupal. I don't know Drupal myself but I'm guessing if you have uploaded the mp3 files as assets in the CMS, it might be the cause of the problem?

  • IPhone 5 power button sometimes doesn't work under iOS 7

    Hi, my wife has noticed the problem which started to appear on her iPhone 5 after she has recently upgraded to IOS 7.0.2
    Power button randomly doesn't respond to power off the phone but never to power it on. Does anyone has similar issue?

    The issue could be a faulty power button. There's nothing, that I'm aware of, in iOS 7 that would cause inconsistent power button functionality.
    Make sure you depress/hold the power button long enough to see the RED power off slider.

  • Iphone 4 power button is stuck down and iphone won't turn on

    My iPhone 4 power button is stuck down, and it won't come back up. The next best part is, my phone is either off or dead i don't know which, and i plug it into my computer/wall charger and nothing happens.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Since upgrading to iOS 6.1 my home button doesn't work. Is there a fix?

    Since upgrading to iOS 6.1 my home button doesn't work. Is there a fix??

    Restore your iPhone with current iTunes on your computer. See if fixed. If still problem and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, try Virtual Home Button, tap Settings App > General > Accessibiltiy > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Home.

  • HT201077 Since upgrading to IOS 7'photos taken on my iPhone are not transferring to the cloud. Sometimes a few will up load but then nothing for weeks. Anyone else had this problem

    Since upgrading to IOS 7 the photographs I take on my iPhone 4S do not transfer to the cloud. Sometimes one or two of them transfer but then none for weeks. I have deleted photos from the cloud in case it is full but to no affect. I use my iPhone in conjunction with an iPad so this is driving me mad. Anyone else have this problem?

    No you're not the only one having this problem in fact many people are having it I spoke to Apple support today about it. First it is my opinion the aspect ratio is different on iPhone 4s compared to iPhone 5s, however I really feel it is a software issue. Just to make sure I am having the same problem you are I will describe my issue. I Have confirmed the following: if I Center an object on my iPhone 4s screen and open the picture while I am still in the app (open on the bottom left it)looks fine. But when I open camera roll and open that particular picture it's also fine
    Until I scroll left or right it pulls the image to the left side appearing to cut off the left side of the image. After talking to Apple support today and my knowledge with Apple products I strongly suspect this is a software issue. Apple asked me to do a restore as a new phone but I'm not going to go through all that nonsense when I believe it's a software issue and not a hardware issue. So again to recap to answer your question you're not alone, theses sort of things are expected when they rollout a new iOS just hang in there and let's see if they put a patch out for next update.
