Iphone 5 switch malfunction

my ipohne5 silent switch is malfunctioning and its all bent from the volume key.

Sounds like a hardware issue. While your iPhone is still under warranty, you need to get it to Apple for evaluation and likely replacement.

See Here for > Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
Try this First...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

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.

Your only chance is setting it up as new device without using the latest backup afterwards, which you already did.
If this does not work, you should get it serviced:

IPhone wont switch to landscape mode

My iPhone wont switch to landscape mode when I rotate the phone.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

You likely have the rotation lock on.
This is covered in the manual:

See: Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
That error usually means that your computer antivirus is blocking the update.
It can also mean that your phone was jailbroken, or your computer was used to jailbreak some iOS device in the past.

Iphone 4 switches off

my iphone 4 switches off when i insert the sim. dont know what to do??

Just want to inform you, that you are not alone. I wish to report the same problem. My brand new iPhone4 can not be switched on in the normal way. I have to press the on/off button and the home button for 10 sec. Phone restarts with the apple logo, than operates normally as long as i keep it awake. When i switch it off, it can be switched on for only 1 min. After 1 min it can not be switched on again, it has to be restarted by pressing the on/off button for 10 sec to restart it from scratch. This must be a serious hardware/software problem. Phone is not usable, I have to return it to the provider (T-Mobil Germany).

IPhone 3G switches off automatically

My iphone 3G switches off automatically when the carrier GSM signal is very low. Has anybody faced this problem? If so please let me know about the possible solution. Thanks.

No, it never works no matter where I am, its stuck. I haven't had 3G no matter where I've been for over a month now. I am sitting right next to other iphone users whose phone is on 3G with good signal strength (same iphone 3g and sw I'm running). It's always gotten 3G at my house, now it never stays on. I'm running the most recent SW. In Network settings I can switch it on, but the second I leave the screen it switches off. So annoying because I get feedback from computers and tv and it's SLOW!

Hello s0ha1b
If all you get is the Apple logo and it powering off, then the next step is to put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. If you have a back up, then you can put that on there to once the restore is complete.

Turn it on.
If it will not power on, try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.

IPhone 4S switches to 3g when sleeping??

My iPhone 4s switches to 3g when it's sleeping. Is there anyway to stop this with out turning off 3g. It uses up my data but if I turn off 3g I won't receive picture messages?

This is normal - WiFi is disabled when sleeping to conserve the battery. You can prevent this by leaving the phone plugged in to a charging source.
if I turn off 3g I won't receive picture messages?
MMS won't be transmitted if you disable the cell data network, not "3G". iMessage with media can be carried by WiFi.

Iphone identity switch!

Accidentally -- I was just trying to load music from my iTunes onto my iPhone -- I switched the identity of my iPhone to my daughter's ... although it is still my phone number, it now has all her settings, apps, contact info, etc.
(What happened is that when I hooked my iPhone up with my Mac, it said the phone was not identified, and it gave me two choices to sync with -- hers or mine. The reason I chose hers is that my phone actually had been stolen while on vacation, not in my posession anymore, and I am using her old phone now although of course with my original phone number on it. I assumed all my info was in the account that was under her name, and I was afraid to mess with the account that actually had my name because I didn't want to do any syncing with a stolen phone at this point.)
Anyway, that's just an excuse for what I did. Now I just want to know how I can get back my own settings and info onto my (aka, my daughter's old ) iPhone! Help!

Assuming you still have a backup of your old phone you can erase the phone and start over, this time restoring to the correct backup of your old phone. First open iTunes on your computer and go to preferences. On the Devices tab is a list of available backups. Hover your mouse over them to reveal the phone number, serial number and IMEI number of the phone that the backup represents. Identify which one is the correct one for your old phone. Then do the following:
Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase the phone.
Go through the activation assistant screens on the phone to reactivate it.
During this process you will be given the option to Restore from iTunes Backup (see image below). Select this and choose the backup of your old phone (as identified earlier) to restore from.
