IPhone 5 screen locking without pressing the lock button

Recently my iPhone screen has started locking without pressing the button. It is like it is stuck but the button isn't even pushed down. It does it so often that it is hard to use my phone because it keeps locking the screen and then trying to turn off the phone. It wasn't so bad at first and I used the accessibility feature to lock my screen in case something was wrong with button. However, my friend was looking at my phone and pressed the lock button which made it start going crazy again. I can't turn my phone off either because it will automatically turn back on because the button is going off. It is almost like there is a ghost pressing my lock button constantly. That is the best way to describe it. I'm not sure if I am under warranty or not, I got the phone from Sprint in the beginning of June.

Make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at. It sounds like the power button is failing.

  • Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up every time an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button?

    Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up everytime an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button?  This is killing my battery, but also is kinda the whole point of the notification center in my mind.

    This is something I've been wondering. I am a bit like you, I like being able to have a glance at emails or Facebook updates without having to log in, and I think it would be great to be able to turn off the notification switching the screen on, especially for emails as I do get a lot, and Facebook, but I somehow doubt it is possible.
    I am currently monitoring how much this eats up my battery charge. On a normal day, after an overnight charge, I would probably still have 30%-40% left when I leave work in the evening. Today, I was down to 48% by lunchtime, where I've usually got a good 60-70% left... Might have to turn email notifications off on lock screen until it's possible to have them appearing in the list without flashing me...

    is it illegal to record a conversation without the other caller knowing?
    That depends on where you are... In the state of New Jersey, where I live, I believe that it is legal to record a conversation if at least one party to that conversation knows that it is being recorded, and there is no legal duty to inform the other party that the conversation is being recorded.
    This means that I could legally record all conversations I have with other people within the state of NJ, and likewise anybody whom I call or who calls me can record out conversations. However, it would be illegal for a third party to record out conversation without our knowledge and consent.
    Now the situation becomes more complex if I call somebody, or somebody calls me, across state lines... I've not made a study of the laws in every state, but I would not be surprised if there are states where both parties must give consent for the conversation to be recorded. This is probably the reason for the announcement "your call may be monitored and recorded for quality purposes" at the beginning of every call to customer support... 
    Wikipedia has a useful introductory article, and a quick Google search turns up much more information.

    The buttons do wear out, and when they do you'd need to get the phone serviced.

  • Aside from Wake on LAN, how can I turn on my S10 without pressing the Power Button?

    Hi,
    FIrst of all I have not tried Wake on LAN on this S10 of mine, yet.  I don't even know if it will work or not. 
    Anyway, this is my main concern.  I'm planning to mount my S10 on the back of my monitor, I'll be putting a wire mesh kinda box that will hold it.  I will then hook the VGA monitor/audio cables to my S10.  I'll also be hooking my wireless Keyboard so it will look clean as possible.  With this setup, of course, the LCD lid will be closed and I'm thinking of ways on how to turn it on with the Lid closed.  I'm currently finding ways on how to do this?  I was hoping NOT to go to the rear of my monitor >> lift the S10 from the mesh box >> press the power button >> close the lid >> place it back to the mesh box mount.
    The wireless keyboard has a power on option (I have Logitech MK300) but does NOT work.  Would a Wired USB keyboard work?
    Fortunately, I have a deskop computer (which has its own monitor) that will sit beside my S10/Monitor.  The two computers (Desktop and S10) will run independently.
    What do you think guys?  What options can I go with?  Is my only hope Wake On LAN?  Oh yeah, it is even possible with the S10?
    Maybe there is a USB device or a hack that can be done (not voiding the warranty)?
    Thanks!

    Yeah, I just noticed it   So does this mean I can't wake my S10 thru LAN right?  Anyway, do you have any suggestions?  I'm looking for a Docking Station, but I can't find any.   Can a USB replicator turn this on?  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

  • Can i turn my notebook on without pressing the power button?

    I have several MacBooks (no! not MacBook Pros) and I wish to build a stamnd for them on my desk so that they all stack up, and can be controlled though a KVM.
    I have all the hardware and infrastructure designed, but I can't seem to find any way of turning them on except by opening the cover, and pressing the power button.
    I can't really imagine Apple designing the perfect tool with this sort of problem?

    Restore the device.
    If the problem continues, restore as new.

  • Computer freezes when trying to open Safari, how do I reboot without pressing the off button?

    My macbook pro freezes with the wheel going on when I try to open safari, how do I stop this without shutting the computer completely?
    Message was edited by: Jojom

    Have you tried holding down "CMD+OPTION+ESC" (⌘⌥ESC keys together) to get the 'force quit applications' window? You can then select Safari there and hit the Force quit button. In this window, also see if there are any other applications that are not working correctly (it might show a 'not responding' message against that application), and you can force quit that too.

    My ipod has been stolen at my high school for over six months. Long story short, i retrieved it and it turns out that my ipod is being disabled for 22,135,578 more minutes. I checked the apple forums and i saw how you could reactivate you passcode but unfortunately my ipod power button is broken. also im not even sure what ios is running on and well imma get my screen fixed because its cracked

    at home, i dont remember the ios, but im certain its ios 5.0.1, im using my mac computer
    also the file for Recboot v1.3 say that it has been removed and the Recbook v2.2 the webpage isnt found, i think Recbook only works on ios 4 devices only.

  • HT4211 Does any one know why my air play tv icon is missing from the recents bar.. It is now on the top of the screen when I press the home button twice. How do I get it back on the bottom recents bar

    Does anyone know why the airplay TV icon has moved from the recents bar, mine has now gone to the top of the screen. How do I get it back to the recents bar?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
