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.

  • Power button that doesn't work?

    My power button is not working.  I have tried to force reboot by holding down the power button and the circle button but its not working.  Also, all of the sudden when I'm talking on the phone, all the buttons get triggered while I'm talking on the phone: like mute, facetime, hold.
    Any ideas of what is going on? Thanks.

    Mine did this the other day and it was a result of getting wet while I was running.  I let it sit a while and air dry and it worked fine afterwards.

  • How come the left rewind button sometimes doesn't work on my remote?

    The left rewind button on my apple tv remote isn't working. If I press it down long enough it wants to delete whatever I am trying to put in. I had to get a new router and need to put in my new wifi password and I cannot since I cannot go to the left on the remote. What should I do? I am so frustrated!

    Hi Sara, I'm not sure what is wrong with your Firefox. To rule out something transient, I assume you have either restarted your device, or powered it all the way off and back on again? (I think you can do this on LG devices by holding the power button until you get a small popup menu.)
    Since Firefox won't start, I wonder whether you would be willing to clear its data (bookmarks, history, permissions, add-ons, everything). You could do that through the Android App settings screen.
    Android settings > Apps > Firefox > "Clear data" button
    Does that help?
    If that's too drastic, perhaps someone else will another another suggestion.

  • Home button issue (button sometimes doesn't work)

    I have the problem that my homebutton sometimes does not work. I want to go to multi tasking view for example, so I press it twice, but I just go to the menu like I would have pressed it once. Same happens when I want to go back from Standby and I press it once... Nothing happens. I sometimes have to repeat it 5 times until it finally works. Why is this happening? Is this a hardware issue (like the person in this thread claims: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1969583?tstart=0) Or is this software related? Some websites say that this problem appears since version 4.1 and according to a websites voting 59% of 11500 votes say that they have that problem.

    Bump
    No  one else having this problem?

  • I have an iPhone 5 right now.. But the wifi does't say active all the time. It would be on for a while, then disconnect. My power button also doesn't work at times.Sometimes it wakes up the screen, but only when I press it on one side.

    I was also wondering if I could take this to the apple store to get it fixed. If not get it replaced?

    If you arrive without an appointment and all appointments that were available at that time and following that time are booked and there are no no-shows with any of the apointments, you will be out of luck. You might get lucky with no appointment scheduled at that time you arrive and there are no other walk-ins without an appointment in front of you, but best to schedule an appointment.

  • My home button sometimes doesn't work

    If I push it enough times I get home.  Sometimes it works on the first try, sometimes it works on the 10th try.  I sent it in and Apple said it was from misuse.  Is there anything I can do, either with Apple or to fix it on my own?  I don't know what I did to cause this, I take pretty good care of it.

    The poster has an iPod tuch. Not an iPhone.  There is not provider for the iPod.  The poster also said they sendt it to Apple:
    "I sent it in and Apple said it was from misuse."
    Misuse is not covered by the warranty.

    I had the same problem. I am in New Zealand and with Vodafone. I went it to a Vodafone store and they said it would need to be sent away. I got them to send it away and 3 days later I got a phone call to say the home button was damaged and a new iPhone was waiting for me. My iPhone was under warranty which is possibly why I was able to get a new phone. It does seem to be happening to alot of people but I would try your network operator if your phone is still under warranty if not pop into an apple store.

  • My iphone 5 power button doesn't always work.  I have heard this is an issue and Apple will replace it if under warranty, but I have a broken screen.  Will they still replace it?

    It is unlikely but you can atleast try they might set it up for free but expect an email about paying 269 for physical damage

  • Finally got round to buying an iPhone 4, really excellent to start with. The sharing of music from my Mac Mini was excellent. ios6 update has ruined all that! The artist view miss's out most of my music and the sharing sometimes doesn't work at all!

    How do I get this feature working again? I am reluctant to move to iTunes 10.7 because I don't trust Apple at the moment.

    My suggestion:
    1) Always using MAC AIR with the power plug in.
    2)Don' let the power level of battory fall under 30% percentage.
    3)If the MAC can't be recharged now, just let it be with power plugged, WAIT...

  • IPhone 5 power button not always working

    Hey all,
    I got this iPhone 5 (white) 64GB a year from last Christmas. Where I work there is lots of flour, so even with the case on the phone, and even trying to keep the phone away from dust, I think it got to the power button. It still works fully, but I have to press it 3-4 times or even more sometimes to turn the screen off on the phone. To wake it up, same thing. I used the Home button to wake it up in that case. Is there anything I can do to fix this without bringing it in, or taking it apart?. I was thinking my vacuum designed for gadgets and computers, just turn it off and vacuum around the top of the phone a bit, and around the case itself. Let me know what you guys think, thanks.
    P,S, the phone is not scratched at all, has never been dropped so this is the only issue I've had with it after a year of ownership.

    It seems that this problem is very common, I've asked around. At least three people I know have had the same problem with their iPhone's (iPhone 4, iPhone 5 so far). How come no one replied to this question I posted?, is it a question that everyone hates to answer?.
    The only answer I've gotten from research is by using AssistiveTouch to lock my phone, and turning off my iPhone by holding down on the "Lock Screen" button while using the AssistiveTouch feature. (But I'm still mad that this happened).
    I found out that this is not a problem with dust. The button's just do this to us. Other owners I know that had this problem were not working around dust.
    The only question that still remains, is if this problem is covered under warranty?. But really, from the past I've seen a cracked screen as not covered under warranty, and the same goes for water damage. A bad power button?, that has happened frequently to probably thousands of iPhone owners?. It probably isn't covered. Please correct me if I am wrong in all that I have said here.

  • I have reached out  to this community as my Iphone display gone black and got the solution to keep home and power button pressed. It worked but I would like to know why it went black

    I have reached out  to this community as my Iphone display gone black and got the solution to keep home and power button pressed. It worked but I would like to know
    1. Why it went black and is there a permanent fix for this
    2.Will the IOS gets automatically updated as I feel the IOS was 5 when I got the phone in 2012 december
    3.Do you suggest 7.1 for Iphone 4

    1. There is no way of knowing. These things happen.
    2. The iOS only gets updated when you want it to be.
    3. You should always update to the latest iOS your phone will support. Apple do not write the updates to make your experience worse.
