Lock button doesn't work on iPhone 4

Lock button doesn't work

I fixed my powerbutton easily with some
water repellent oil. I dont know what its called, it is that thing you use for locks and hinges anyway. My iphone powerbutton has been working for like 7 months now. There is no difference from when it was new! I can really recomend this. Just remember to turn of the phone and have it upside down when you spray. And dont use to much! Theres no need for more than a few drops.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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 MAC or PC
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    Then restore to factory settings/new iPod. If still problem you have a hardware problem.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • IPhone 5 screen not responding, lock button doesn't work- Any tips to reset the phone?

    My iphone 5 screen just stopped responding to any touch stimuli. The home button works, and Siri works, but I cannot use the screen at all. Also, my lock button hasn't worked in a few months, so I've been using Assistive Touch to lock and power down my phone. I was hoping to try to reset my phone (home+lock) and see if that helped the screen issue, but I can't find a way to power down. Any tips? Should I restore the phone with iTunes? Or is this the end of the line for my phone? Thanks in advance!

    You can log into iCloud on the computer and remove the device there and then restore. However, with a non-functioning sleep/wake button, you do have an issue. Believe me, you wouldn't want Siri to be able to do that, or we would be reading complaints about phones being stolen and restored again. The fact you cannot restore now is part of the anti-theft restore feature. You can either try to get the button fixed, I hope you checked to see if your device was part of the recall group, and you can let the battery die and then plug the device into the charger and it should restart. But since the sleep/wake button is integral to many of the user troubleshooting steps, I suggest getting it fixed as well.

  • Help my ipod (touch) lock button doesn't work

    my  iPod lock button doesn't usualy work only like 40 times then stops
    also the volume buttons don't work at the same time  any help |
    Thanks in advanceLogan0916

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Lock button doesn't work

    On my daughters ipod the lock button does not work and was wondering if we can get it fixed or can we get a brand new one. One of my daughters Friends mom's told me her daughters lock buton didn't work and she got a brand new one for free from the apple comany. My daughters ipod is one of the older ipods the onesd without a camera. and also on the ipod when you go to charge it you can't put it in all the way because the piece is broken inside.

    Maybe:
    iPod Touch power button stuck
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store maybe then can fix it.
      Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If Apple can;t easily fix it Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

  • Headphone pause / play / FF button doesn't work on iphone 3g

    I cant get the button on my headphones to work. I have tried other headphones but this still doesnt help. Is there a setting for this button?

    I have the same problem here.
    I have an Iphone 16Gb firm 1.1.3 , my headphones button (start/stop - skip) works ONLY if i leave the headphone's jack plugged in the phone in STANDBY mode.
    In other words : Iphone in standby mode - plug the headphones - wake button - slide unlock ... everything perfect hedphones button works correctly.
    On the contrary if : Iphone in standby mode - wake button - slide unlock - and THEN plug the hadphones ... the headphone's button doesn't work !!!
    I don't make any restore also because i'm not sure that it can fix the problem and i don't want to loose all my notes - sms etc.
    I will do only if i will be sure that restore can fix this annoying issue.
    Thank you very much for any suggestion !
