Lock Button doesn't work after iOS 7 update?

Hello! ive noticed that ever since ive updated my iphone 5 to ios 7 the lock button sometimes takes more then one attempt to lock my phone, this has never happened when i was on ios 6. Is this to do with ios 7 or is it just a coincicdence that when i updated to ios 7 my lock button just began to stop working?

You need to have this device serviced by an authourized technician.  If you ever have a software failure, you will not be able to correct it without a working sleep/wake button.  Use the link below to locate an Apple service provider near you.

  • Power button doesn't work after new update...and that's the least of it

    Ever since I updated my 4S with the new software my phone has had so many problems:
    Power button no longer works. I have to hold both the home button down and the power button to "reset" my phone to turn it off.
    I am having to do this CONSTANTLY b/c my phone freezes up ALL the time. When texting, using maps, other apps. Sometimes I can't get the freaking thing to even unlock. Texting is a disaster. Half the time they don't go through and when my phone freezes up for the millionth time that day and I reset, I later find out that my freaking texts didn't even go through. I HATE THE NEW SOFTWARE HELP!!

    If you are able to hold your home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time to reset the phone, you should be able to power it off just fine...

  • Re: Portege R500: Contros button doesn't work after installing update

    After installing the most recent version of Toshiba's Value Added Package, the two buttons (toshiba assist and backlight on/off) do not work properly: they open instead a firefox browser window.
    I assume there is something to configure in the "optimisation" section of Toshiba Assist.
    When I open the program "Toshiba buttons functions" (sorry for the puny translation, in Spanish it's called: "Funciones de botones de Toshiba") all the entries are blank and I have to indicate the Url of the program supposed turning off my LCD's backlight...
    I have no clue where to find this executable.
    Can anybody help me?

    Thanks for the response.
    I hope I don't have to use such an extreme solution. Mainly because I *really* don't have time for restoring an OS. Furthermore, if I have to restore everything every time I update the computer: what is the point of updating?
    There must be a more subtle solution... don't you think?

  • HT4623 My App Store doesn't work after iOS update

    I downloaded iOS 7 and now I cannot connect to my app store on my iPad does anyone have this situation as well?

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.

  • Touch ID doesn't work after ios 7.1.1 update

    Touch id doesn't work after ios 7.1.1 update..
    Why????

    After IOS update, you first have to use passcode.
    Passcode is needed when
    After restarting your iPhone 5s
    When more than 48 hours have elapsed from the last time you unlocked your iPhone 5s
    To enter the Touch ID & Passcode setting

  • Iphone won't turn on after being dropped?lock button doesn't work

    I dropped my iPhone 4s onto the ground , and the screen is black. I've looked at other apple discussions and they said to hold onto the home and lock button. However, my lock button doesn't work! I've been using assistive touch on my iPhone ever since the lock button stopped working

    If you haven't, try connecting it to your charger. If that doesn't bring it back to life, there's nothing more you can try without a working sleep/wake button.

  • Ipad wont reboot & my sleep or lock button doesn't work??

    I updated ios 7 on my ipad just yesterday. After a while I used it, then my ipad kept popping out shut down mode, and lock the screen randomly.
    I tried to reboot it, my screen kept locking randomly. I tried to reboot it for three times, and for the third time, my ipad wouldn't boot up.
    I connected my ipad to itunes and tried to restore my ipad.
    The screen now has quitted to lock randomly. But I found out that my lock button doesn't work anymore. And the next thing I did was to reboot my ipad by pressing the sleep/lock and home button at the same time, hoping that my lock button would work again, and suddenly my ipad showed apple logo frequently without showing progress bar. And the last thing I do now is to connect my device to itunes, and it is now back on. But the lock/sleep button still not working. And I think that if I reboot my ipad again, it will give me the same problem as it wont reboot itself unless i connect it to itunes.
    Please help me regarding this troubleshooting... My ipad was perfectly fine. Thanks in advance!

    For the past month or so my lock button hasn't been working. It takes three or more tries to get it to work and sometimes I just can't even use it. 
    Looks like a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • Wake up doesn't work After IOS 7 with my Philips clock radio AJ3270D

    Wake up doesn't work After IOS 7 with my Philips clock radio AJ3270D!
    The other function is OK(listen music like an Ipod or charge)
    Can you help me?

    Apple did update their help section on the app. I found this trying to figure out why my Find Friends wasn't working after the update to iOS 7. 
    "Find My Friends is turned on in Background App Refresh (in Settings > General in iOS 7). When Background App Refresh is turned off, Find My Friends can’t use Location Services in the background. If Background App Refresh is turned on, but you quit Find My Friends via the multitasking interface, location updates won’t be sent to your friends until you open the app again."
    Hopefully Apple will update this as it was not this way prior to iOS 7. Killing the app didn't prevent your location from updating in iOS 6 as I constantly killed the apps running in the background and never had this problem till the update. Hope this helps! Just make sure to not kill the app as of now and to tell everyone you follow not to kill their app and locations will continue to refresh. Otherwise it won't update locations till the app is opened again.

  • My screen if frozen and I can't shut off my phone. I already have my assistiave touch button on my screen but it still own't let me shut off my phone. And my lock button doesn't work either

    My screen is frozen on the camera and my phone won't let me shut it off. My lock button doesn't work and my assistance touch button won't let me shut it down either. My phone also takes hours to die and my battery if fully charged so i can't wait for it to die i need to get it back to normal asap! How do I get it to unfreeze?

    A reset is when you press and hold both the home and sleep buttons for 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo appears. You won't lose any data. Give it a try.

  • How to unlock an iphone 3gs when it's sim locked and the lock button doesn't work???

    I bought this iphone 3gs off an app. I just want to use it as an ipod. it is sim locked (with two attempts left) and the lock button doesn't work at all. What can I do? I just want to use it as an ipod.
    I have also tried everything. I took the sim card out and put it back in again. And I have also left it out. And I have tried connecting it to itunes but I need to unlock. (some of these were suggested by the seller)
    Please help me.
    im

    My guess - and this is completely a guess - is that the SIM in that phone has a PIN that was added to it by the previous owner. Whomever you bought it from didn't bother to check for this (or didn't care) before they got it from the previous owner.
    You need to get a new AT&T SIM for that phone - you could even borrow one from a friend if they have one that will fit the phone. You would only need the SIM to activate it.
    There is no way to activate an iPhone without a SIM in it, even if you don't plan to use it as anything other than an iPod.

    Thanks

  • The lock button doesn't work

    I bought my iphone 5 for just a few months. But the lock button doesn't work these days.

    Place the iPod in recovery mode using this program:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    For MAC or PC
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    Then restore to factory settings/new iPod. If still problem you have a hardware problem.

  • Do I need insurance to get a new iPhone if my lock button doesn't work?

    I have an iPhone 4 and my lock button doesn't work anymore. I've asked around and some of my friends think it's a malfunction in the spring, I was wondering if I could get a new phone since it's a malfunction and that it's not my fault.

    Hi
    If it's within the first year's warranty or within the extended applecare warranty period it will be repaired free of charge provided the fault does not contravene the conditions of the warranty.
    If it's out of warranty you can pay for an out-of-warranty repair.
    Either way you should take it to either your service provider or your nearest apple store.
    HTH?

  • My lock button doesn't work. What can I do about it?

    I got my iPhone 4 refurbished, and the lock button doesn't work. It turns the screen on, but not off, and it doesn't work to take screen shots.

    More than likely a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby to confirm.
