My iphone 4 will not turn on. I can not soft reset because my home button is broken. Any suggestions?

My iphone 4 suddenly died on me. It had a good amount of battery life left. I cannot soft reset because my home button does not work. Is there a way to reboot without the method of holding the two buttons? I am thinking that letting the battery die will work but I assume it will take a long time since the phone is off. Any other way to get it to turn back on/rest?

Plug it into the wall charger or to your computer with iTunes.

Reboot computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, all iPhone 4S have full Warranty. Make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

I am having the SAME exact problem! Except instead of lock button broken it's my home button so I can't do the whole "put in recovery mode" deal. My screen only says "tap the home button 3 times" and it has my screen locked until I hit the home button but since it is broken I can't get in my phone at all. I have all of my work info in my phone so I'm screwed and can't get any help. PLEASE let me know if you find a way around this...!!!
Thanks!

The "The connection was reset" error message can be caused by a bug fix for the BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) attack that the server doesn't handle.

You are going to have to take it to the Apple Store to see if they can do anything for you. The Home button is critical for using your device. You need to get it fixed.

What happens if you plug the device into the charger? Does it start? Without a functioning home button, it is impossible to do a reset on the device, which would help it recover from not starting. What model iPhone are you using? Have you thought about getting the home button fixed?

IPhone is stuck on respring, cannot be detected in iTunes and my home button is broken. HELP!?

Hi there,
My iPhone has been stuck on the respring icon loop, I've tried numerous ways to try and boot it in DFU mode but it didn't work as iTunes simply can't detect my iPhone. To make matters worse, my power button doesn't work either...
Help please!
Thanks in advance

Battery does not appear to charge
Important: iPod touch cannot be charged with a FireWire-based power source.
Verify that the power source being used is working properly.
If connecting to a computer's USB port, verify it is a high-powered USB 2.0 port. Note: The USB ports on most keyboards don't provide enough power, so if you're connecting iPod touch to a keyboard, make sure it has a high-powered USB 2.0 port.
Verify the computer is turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPod touch is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPod touch battery may drain.
Try another USB port.
Try charging from a USB charger if available.
If that does not help, try another USB cable if available.
Learn more about charging the battery.
The Home button isn't working
Put the iPod Touch to sleep.
Wait a couple of seconds.
Press the Home button.
iPod Touch should wake up.
If iPod Touch does not wake up, then iPod Touch should be serviced.

My iPhone 4s doesn't work. i can not swipe to open it or to even turn it off. what can i do??????

I would attempt a reset. This is done by holding both the powerbutton and the home button for about 10 seconds for it to restart.
When it boots back up, test the issue. If the issue persists, I would then recommend a restore through iTunes on a computer, set up as new, and test again. If it's now working, i'd recommend to restore from your last back up see if it resolved your issue.
Hopefully the first reset solves it, in most cases it does.
Regards

Please help me.

Have you tried pressing the round button and the on/off switch at the top at the same time and holding them till an Apple icon appears? If that doesn';t work, take it back, you are still under warranty.
