No, you don't. Decent, mature people try to remain polite. If you go in with that sort of combative attitude, don't be surprised if people aren't willing to do everything they can to help you. I work in retail. If a customer comes in with a problem and a reasonable attitude, I will bend every rule, turn over every rock I can to help them. If they come in acting like an entitled jerk, I will be just as polite and I will offer them precisely what policy says and not one iota more. So, you need to consider, which is more important? Your ego? Or getting your phone fixed.
And some day, you too may work in a customer facing job. Build up the good karma while you can.

  • Proximity sensor AND lock button NOT working on iPhone 4

    My iPhone 4's lock button is all of a sudden stuck. Along with it, the proximity sensor has stopped working and, consequently, the screen stays on during calls, so I keep hanging up or starting FaceTime through my face. Is this one single problem or two seperate ones? Someone told me that the flex cable connecting the button and the sensor is the same, so the problem is actually one. My iPhone, having been purchased in early 2011, is no longer covered by warranty, so I will have to pay for the repair myself.

    Well, theres nothing you can do yourself to resolve this issue.
    assuming there is no physical damage or water damage, your warranty should cover this at an apple retail store.
    in the meantime, look into assistivetouch.

    I turned on assistive touch and it still wont go to the home screen or lock my phone, i dont know whats wrong. whenever i try the triple click to get to the home screen the assistive toucj turns off

    Hello Matt,
    It sounds like you are not able to access iTunes from your iPhone 4 using Home Sharing, but you can from your iPad.  I found an article with steps that I think would help with this issue.
    I recommend reviewing the full article below, but I think steps 4-7 are specifically useful for what you described:

  • Lock button not working for iPhone4

    Hi All,
    My lock button not working from last 2months, I am using assistive touch for time being.
    I bought my mobile in UK 1year back, currently i am staying in India.
    My real problem is, recently i visited apple store. The guys in the store are saying, it is against to their law to serve or repair mobiles which were bought in other country..
    I think this is rediculous.. Just i need some information how to fix it or how to contact the correct person regarding this POOR service.
    Thanks
    Rajesh

    No. The warranty is only valid in the country of purchase. All service for iPhones in UAE is provided by the supported carriers. You can find a list here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
    If you did not purchase it from one of the carriers listed, then you probably purchased an illegally imported gray market phone.
    Check Settings>General>About. What does it say for Model #?

    My loudspeaker and lock button not working and my warranty has expired!!! I do not know what to do!!!! HELP PLEASE!!

    Those are hardware issues. You can try all of the software troubleshooting if you want. Restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If that does not work, then your only option is to pay someone for something. The decision is up to you, but I've provided the options.

  • Iphone 5 lock button not working

    that will help

  • IPhone 5 lock button not working at all. If I'm in the one year warranty still but don't have apple care will I have to pay to get it fixed or will it be covered

    I have a iPhone 5 and about a month ago my lock button stopped working. It takes me about ten tries to power it back on or to lock it. If I'm still in my one year warranty will I have to pay to get it fixed? I didn't purchase apple care though so I'm wondering if it's going to cost me to get it fixed or if it's still covered because of the one year warranty? Thank you!

    If it's due to a manufacturing defect, the warranty will cover it. If it's due to accidental damage, it'll cost to get it fixed unless it happened during an authorized repair.

    Sleep/Wake button will not lock or unlock iPhone
    To lock the phone, press the Sleep/Wake button. Note: By default, if you don't touch the screen for a minute, iPhone locks automatically.
    To unlock iPhone, press the Home button or the Sleep/Wake button, then slide the slider.
    If either of the above steps don't work, try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    If the iPhone will not power off, reset it.
    Try to lock or unlock the phone.

  • Lock button not working + still have warranty. What do I have to do?

    Hello!
    Yesterday my lock button stopped working. I still have my warranty but the problem is I live in Belgium and there is no Apple Store there. Is there any way I can get my phone repaired without having to go abroad? I'm now using Assistive Touch but it just doesn't feel the way it should...
    Greetings & thanks!

    To get any iOS device repaired much be done so in country of where th device was purchased. So if where you live is where you purchased the device then contact Apple Support whcih is given for your area of livinging.
    If the iOS device was not purchased where you live, then willl need to figure out how to go about getting to where the iOS device was purchased to get repair done for it.

  • Lock button not working and gettin very hot when used.

    Hi my lock button started working intermittently but now has stopped working completely. When in use it get very hot and when charging its so hot u can't touch it. Unsure what to do as only had iPhone 5 since march.

    Your phone is still under warranty.  Bring the phone to Apple for evaluation and probable replacement.

  • IPhone home and lock buttons not working at all?

    I got my iPhone 4 in October 2010. Since then I have accidentally dropped it on the floor and the back cracked, and in April 2011 I accidentally dropped it in a tub of paint. A bit silly, I know, but I managed to get all of the paint off quite easily and it was fine. However, at the end of last year, the home button started to malfunction and get stuck and just generally not work. In the past few weeks I've noticed I get trouble with it at least once a day and have to sit and press it until it works. Then, today, just out of nowhere, the lock/power button at the top of my phone just stopped working, it's stuck. I don't really have a way to wake my phone now unless I press the home button until it works, and I can't lock it anymore. I don't know whether it would be anything to do with the paint, considering it happened a year ago.  Is there anything I can do to get it working again or do I need to take it to Apple?
    Thank you very much.

    Ok this Might work
    1- Try rubbing your home button with alchohol ( or perfume ) in a circular motion for about 20 seconds
    2 - do the same to ur power button ( from left to right and repeat ) for about the same duration
    3- press and hold both your power and home button at the same time ..
    ... If this doesnt work try it one more time
    If it doesnt respond after the second time i'm afraid u'll have to take it to an apple care center :(
    Wish u luck

  • IPhone 5 Lock Button not working help?

    I brought an iPhone 5 in October 2012, and my lock screen button is not working. Sometimes, my phone does not turn on or turn off  unless I press the button 3 or 4 times. I did not buy apple care and I don't think I am under warrenty anymore so will they still be able to replace my phone?
    Thanks!

    You can make an appointment and they will examine the phone. Since you are out of warranty, then more than likely they would not make a warranty replacement, but you can purchase an out of warranty replacement for a price less than the cost of a brand new phone. In the US, the replacement cost for the iPhone 5 is $269US.

  • Does anyone else's iPhone 5 lock button not work?

    I got my iPhone 5 when it launched (pre-ordered) and I love it. I haven't had any major issues at all, until recently. My lock button has stopped working completely. No amount of pressure or repeated pressing of it will make it work. I do not have AppleCare, but I do have it under warranty through my carrier (Verizon). Does anyone know if I can take it to an Apple store to have it fixed or am I likely stuck with it?
    Thanks for the help in advance,
    DJ

    Are you sure? The nearest store is a bit of a hike from where I live. It'd be worth it, I just want to make sure. I guess I can always call first. Any idea when the warranty runs out?
