Iphone 5 will not turn off

on/off switch does not work Iphone5. Phone has been in a Otter Box 100% of the time. If out of warrinty you are out of luck. Have to buy a new phone. Why in the world can the chinese not make a better switch? This is so lame!!!!

How did you try to turn off? Did you press the on/off switch at the top until the red "slide to power off" showed?

My iphone 4 will not turn off... how can I fix this?

I went to turn off my iphone 4 and it will not turn off... it is just stuck on the circle thing it does when shutting down???? What's wrong with it?

Try holding down both the top and home buttons a the same time until it restarts- that probably would do it.

IPhone 4S will not turn off

Last week I noticed that my iPhone suddenly started losing battery rather quickly--it would only last about 3 hours on a full charge. In addition, the speakers stopped working--they would not play any music or video content, even though the ringer continues to work. To reset the phone, I tried to turn it off. The spinning wheel that appears while the phone shuts down was very dim but the phone eventually shut off. About two seconds after the phone turned off, the Apple logo appeared and it turned itself back on. No matter how many times I tried to turn it off, it continued to turn itself back on.
Eventually, I let the phone run the battery all the way down. After remaining at 1% for about 5 minutes, the phone shut itself off. Once I plugged it back in and charged it, the problem continued to occur.
Thinking that this was a problem with iOS 6, I upgraded to iOS 7, hoping that would fix the problem. After the upgrade, the same problem continued to occur.
I then tried to restore the phone using a backup stored on my computer. When I did that, the phone completely stopped working. It refused to activate and would not get a carrier signal--no phone, no text messaging, just WiFi.
At a loss, I then did a factory restore. After completing that, the phone finally got a carrier signal again and, in addition, the speakers began functioning again. The spinning wheel that appears when the phone turns off is full brightness now, but the phone still will not stay off and the battery still drains very quickly. Using System Activity Monitor to examine the phone is unhelpful. When fully charged it says that the phone should have 10 hours of battery life remaining, but within an hour that number has dropped to 6 hours, and within another hour or two, the battery is completely drained. CPU Core usage generally hovers in the mid to high single digits. Mail is set to fetch manually and no applications are running.
Is there a way to fix this, or is it just Apple's built-in way of requiring an upgrade every 18 months?

Did you have the battery changed recently?

Iphone 5 will not turn off + lock button doesn't always work

Has anyone seen this problem my iPhone 5 will not always lock or be able to turn off .
It eventually turns off then after reboot works fine for a while then starts to play up again

Have you tried resetting the iPhone?
To do that - Press and hold the Home button and the Wake / Sleep button at the same time. Keep them both pressed until the Apple logo appears on the screen, it can take over 10 seconds for this to happen.
If that does not work then try restoring the software in the iPhone in iTunes.
If that does not work then take the iPhone to Apple as it may have a hardware fault.

Iphone light will not turn off

Did a restart to factory settings, still on.
Most likely a hardware issue. See More Like This for related threads... -->

IPhone 4 will not turn off

My iPhone 4 will no longer turn off. I hold down the button on the top right of the iPhone and get the red slider to turn the iPhone off. I slide it to the right, but instead of turning off my iPhone reboots (restarts). I tried restoring the software/firmware and reloading using iTunes, but this did not solve the problem. Does anyone have any ideas?

You may have an app running.
Try force quitting.
Force quit an app: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then press and hold the Home button until the app quits. You can also force an app to quit by removing it from the recents list.
See “Opening and Switching Apps” on page 29.

My iPhone 4 will not turn off.

When I pereform the normal shutdown (hold down button on top right and slide red slider) the phone only reboots and restarts.I am also having an issue where iTunes and any other app that requires sound does not display a 'volume bar' and will not play any sound on the phones external speakers. AT&T said it was probably an issue with the new iOS. Any ideas?

Try restore your iPhone, that may fix the problem. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

My iphone will not turn off

I push the button on my new iPhone but it will not turn off. Any suggestions?

It might be a technical fault and I'd reccomend to visit Genius bar or find a repair shop.
Meanwhile, if you still want to turn off/on your screen as a temporary solution:
1. Go to settings
2. General
3. Accessibility
4. AssistiveTouch and turn it on (you should find a small square with a circle inside on your screen now)
5. Tap this small square to open AssistiveTouch menu
6. Tap Device and then Lock Screen
You should be able to turn off the screen now.
