Lock Screen Button Stuck
Hello,
A few days ago, my lock screen button jammed and I haven't been able to fix it. I bought this phone in August, so I'm hoping that it is still under warranty. Any suggestions?
Thank you.
Dear Laurae10,
Good afternoon. Having a nonresponsive home key can definitely be frustrating. It would be my pleasure to address your equipment and warranty concerns.
When you purchase a device with Verizon Wireless, it will come with a one year manufacture's warranty from the day that it was purchased. However, the manufacture's warranty does not cover physical or water damage.
If the lock button stopped working due to the phone having physical or water damage, this will not be covered under the manufacture's warranty. The good news is that if you have equipment insurance, you may file in Insurance claim to replace your device. To start an insurance claim click http://bit.ly/07CrqPK

I used assistive touch to turn off my iphone, because my lock screen button is not working, so now i cant turn it back on! What i did was, i went to assistive touch, then i held down the lock screen button to turn it off. Now i can't turn it back on.
To turn it back on when you use assistive touch, all you have to do is plug your iphone into a charger and it will power back on

My IPhone shut off by itself and I can't turn it back on. My lock screen button is broken and I tried plugging it into the wall but nothing happened. Can you guys please help me.
IIf the battery was completely drained it might take some time before the phone will respond. Wait at least 30 minutes with the phone connected to the charger. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the phone starts up let it continue to charge until it's 100%.
if the broken button will not let you do the reset Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. -

My iphone 4s' screen is black, but it's still on and charging. I broke my lock screen button so I am unable to turn it off using the home button and lock button. Is there any other way my phone can restart or turn off ? Is my phone broken for sure?

Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged. Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
Have you done so? If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer. Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one. -

Can developers create apps with lock screen buttons?
Title pretty much says it all. Is it possible for developers to create apps that have lock screen buttons that appear with a home button double tap similar to the itunes control buttons? I've seen other apps tap into itunes media controls but can you create a custom version of that while leaving itunes controls enabled as well?
Based on your brief description of what you intend to do, yes --- can't.
I'm not sure how I could be any more specific without actually telling you what the app does. Basically can you make custom buttons in the lock screen appear in a similar fashion to the way the previous (<<), play (>), and next (>>) buttons appear when the home button is double tapped.
Also, not being in a paid program is going to significantly limit asking questions like this and understanding responses here, so...
Why is that? Its my understanding that paying the $99 means the app can actually go on the store and you can test it on a real device vs the emulator. The whole reason I was asking this question was to determine if an idea me and a buddy had was capable of being done before investing money in it. -
My iPhone 4S has been frozen in the loading screen I don't know how to fix it:( my lock screen button doesn't work
Without a working lock screen button, you'll probably have to wait for the battery to go dead. Once it doesn't wake up by pressing the home button you can plug it into a charger and it will eventually reboot.

my iphone4 has a broken lock screen button. im struggling to turn it on, when i plug it in it keeps restarting showing the apple sign then turning off again. any ideas how to fix this problem?
That happened to my brother earlier. He went into Facebooand then into another app and the same thing happened. he ended up having to restore it. Mine stayed with the Apple logo for a bit but its back to normal after pressing the buttons a million times. I hope you get your problem sorted. Goodluck!

The lock screen button on my ipod 4 is jammed. I want to fix it permanently. how to do it? if not, how much bucks will it take to fix it in apple store???
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following can fix yours for less. Google for more.

Could it be that the lock screen button on the Iphone 5 is looser than on the Iphone 4?
Could it be that the lock screen button on the Iphone 5 is looser than on the Iphone 4?
There isn't a separate app icon for Facetime for the iPhone like there is for the iPad and iPod Touch. Facetime is built into the iPhone's iOS.
Here a refresher on how it works:

IPhone 5 lock screen button issue
My lock screen button is not working properly, I had a one year warranty on the phone through apple which expired 9 days ago. My phone is insured through Verizon is this something that would be covered?
Lets get it to work, Sam_123! What is going on with the lock screen? Is it frozen? Have you tried to reset the device? Is there any damage? Share details so that I can help.
Thank you,

The lock screen button is broken. My phone won't turn off
Had my IPhone 5 since Christmas. For awhile now the lock screen button on top seems to be failing. Now I can't get the phone to turn off at all. I hold the button and nothing happens. If I squeeze the top and bottom of the phone together sometimes I can get the phone to lock but its not consistant. Anyone else having this problem? If so did you have to buy a new phone or is it covered in warranty?
Unless it has water or other accidental damage it will be covered under your warranty. Make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and backup your iPhone before you go.

I can't lock screen on Ipad mini. My lock screen button is working for shutdowning Ipad, but don't working for lock screen. Also I tried to lock screen from Assistive Touch and it's not working. When I click lock screen on assistive touch it nothing happens.
Thank you for that update.
I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
And restore it first as a new device, and verify that it works properly, then restore from your backup with the same article below to ensure that it is still working.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

If it does not work correctly when you set up the phone as a new device, I would next seek service for your iPad:
