Loose lock button

Is it common for the lock button at the top to be a little loose?
My phone is brand new but the lock button is slightly loose when I press it
Thanks

Not really, usually they are defects. I have the same problem with my 4s and I'm getting it replaced for the 3rd and hopefully last time

    Hello, I have an otter box for my iPhone 4s and recently the rubber schell has become loose and a little flappy. A lot of my friends have told me that the otter box breaks the lock button on the iPhone and sure enough it has happened to me. It's as if the lock button is frozen in place and won't click down. Can I return this phone for a new one? my biggest fear is that I'll have to go a couple of weeks with out a phone while I wait for my new one.. And with regards to otter boxes, should I stay away from them to prevent future issues like this from happening again?
    Thank you for your help!

    "Can I return this phone for a new one? "
    Do you mean "can I get a new iPhone for free?"  Nope.
    Do you mean "since Applecare does not cover accidental damage, can I get a replacment iPhone, for around $250?"  Yes.

  • Annoying rattling sound of loose power/lock button

    iPhone 5s, 16 GB, iOS 8.0.2
    Dear Apple,
    I am here to report about the annoying rattling sound that is caused because the power/lock button is loose. At first I just decided to ignore it but after 1 month, it is getting very annoying. It rattles everytime I shake my phone. My phone also doesn't feel solid. Example when I tap the back of my phone, it sounded like some parts in there are missing. I am NOT HAPPY and I don't pay RM 2399 for a phone and still face these problems. I would really appreciate if Apple could replace a new iPhone for me as it is getting very annoying and I cannot stop thinking about it!
    Thank you.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You might want to run the Apple Hardware Test first--it's on Install Disc #1 of the grey discs that came with your computer--boot from the disc by holding down"D". Run the extended version. You could have a problem with either a fan or a thermal sensor. Since you are only hearing one fan, it could be that the other fan isn't working and the right one is running faster to try to compensate.
    If you have a fan problem, you will get an error code with "MOT" in it. If a sensor, there will be a "SNS" in the error code.
    You can check on the speed of the fans by downloading "iStatPro" from the Apple Site. If the fans are not running at about the same speed, something is definitely wrong.
    But I do think you should call Apple about this. It does not sound normal to me. The clicking could be the fan bearing going out. It is not a normal sound.
    Good luck!

  • Loose lock/shutdown button. Bad signal?

    Hello, I have an iphone 4 I brought last year. I've noticed that I hardly ever get full bars or four, I previously had a HTC sensation on the same network that used to get full bars a lot. Also my lock button seems to be quite loose I can move it from left to right and wiggle it with my finger. Is the lock button being like that normal ? Should I take it to my local Apple shop ? Will they replace or repair ? Thanks for the help

    Well, if only a few months old then you are under the 1 Yr warranty that comes with the device, either contact AppleCare or visit an Apple Retail Store

  • How to fix my lock button?

    my lock button is loose and jammed i cant turn my phone off or even lock it. i cant afford a new phone and i dont have a warrenty either on my phone. what can i do?

    As a rule, Apple does not repair phones. They replace them. An out of warranty replacement for an iPhone 4 is $149. It wouldn't hurt to make an appointment at the genius bar. They may tell you they can fix it, but don't be surprised if they say you need a replacement.
    Or you could try a 3rd party repair service.

  • Nokia X6 lock button BROKEN OFF

    my lock button fell off 2 months after me purchasing it.
    Has anyone else had this problem, with it breaking off?
    plus, i took it to the shop and they said i hav to pay to get it fixed , and i did argue it was nothing to do with me and that it was vert loose from the start.

    Nokia X6 - this seems to be such a common problem. I had my phone "repaired" by O2 just a few weeks ago (unfortunately just over 30 days so my supposed rights aren't great). The new phone (the majority of my phone is new, but O2 call it a repair 'cos they've put the original motherboard in!) has just had the slide switch spring go too.
    Why do 100s of people have to experience the same inconvenience before Nokia change the design and admit that it is a design fault and that the phone is not fit for purpose - unless you never use the phone, the lock switch will always go after a short time - it is not made to withstand multi-daily use.  Makes me very cross that I can't now change to a (lesser) model of phone that does not have a design flaw.  When will this silly switch idea be withdrawn?  Still got a year to go on my current contract, but I think only solution is to put SIM into a decent phone. Sorry, but just saying it as it is. 

  • Ipod Power/Lock Button is Jammed

    Recently, I found that the black power/lock button on my 4th Generation iPod Touch has become stuck and is unable to be pressed. The button itself is a bit loose, but otherwise, it cannot be pressed and does not "click". Does Apple fix this, and if so, how much would it cost?

    Maybe if they can unstick it. Other wise, Apple only exchanges iPods for a refurbished one. If not under warranty Apple will charge you this much

    If not under warranry try the alcohol fix discussed here. Some other fixes may also be applicable to the power button.

  • Iphone5 home button and lock button unresponsive

    i pluged my iphone 5 in to my computor to back up my data and found that my lock button and home button stopped working and would not alow me to get but to home screen or turn the phone off. if i restore my phone how will i loose the films i was trying to down load from itunes before it happened. due to my phone not alowing them to be downloaded?

    My iPhone5 lock and home button, as well as some of my friends, has stopped working also... I doubt restoring it will help. It started as my lock button not working and it never came back, restoring it didn't help. You're better off visiting an apple store ASAP and getting assistance, possibly a new phone. Back all your stuff up.

  • My lock button no longer works on my ipod touch and now i have all kinds of problems with it freezing and kicking me out of apps. Is there any way to get this fixed and were would i go to get it fixed?

    Please Help!!!! I have an ipod touch 4th gen.  and since the last update the lock button no longer works, this has caused it to have a lot of problems now like freezing all the time, kicking me out of almost all my apps, some times even when if locks on its own its not locked and buttons with be pushed in my pocket, and this causes the battiery to die fast.   I really love my ipod and would like to just get it fix if possible for a reasonable about of money. Anyone know of a place I can get it fixed in Ft Lauderdale Fl area or is there something I can do?

    Have you tried:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:

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

  • HT4528 hard to press lock button. how can i fix it or how much would it be to fix it? i have Iphone4s and its only a year old

    My lock button on top of my phone does not work. In order for it to work it needs to be pressed really hard. Phone was not dropped or damaged and just started having this problem. Concerned because cannot afford a new phone so i would like to know how to fix this problem.

    If you're within the first year of purchase, or if you purchase AppleCare/Apple protection plan the warranty is extended to two years, then you can get the device replaced for free under warranty.  Just set an appointment at a local retail store or call 800-MY-APPLE to determine if a replacement device is needed.

  • 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.

  • My iPhone 4 is stuck in the update screen and my lock button is not working. How can I fix this?

    I just tried to update my iPhone 4 to 7.1 and for some strange reason the phone wouldn't update then wanted me  to restore it... (Figures!) But my lock button no longer works so holding the home button and the lock button is a option I have to rule out. I have no way to repair my phone myself. What can I do?

    Hello Edward
    Follow the prompts on your iPhone and you will get either at your home screen like normal or get to a point of restoring from back up. The article below will give step by step for restoring from back up.

  • How do i lock certain fields using a "lock" button?

    alright, I'm a totaly noob here. basically i have an Adobe PDF document and I'm trying to edit it in LiveCycle so that I can add a lock button for four text fields. Here are the fields:
    -name
    -manger name
    -cost center
    -dates
    we want our employees to be able to enter information, and then lock it so the recipients can't change the data. we have an existing form which has a button, but the new form someone created (it's  much different from the old one so we can't reuse that) doesn't have the feature. if there's an easier way to do this in acrobat that would also be helpful.
    thanks!

    You cannot lock it by the serial number. Report it to your carrier and the police. You said that the thief knows your pass code. Does that mean that the thief was a personal friend who would be close enough to you to know what your code was? If that is the case, ask your friend to return your phone.
