My iphone 4s is frozen and my lock button doesnt work

My iphone 4s has been frozen for an hour and I would normally power off than power back on my phone. But recently my top power button doesn't work so I can't turn off my phone or doing anything at all with it. I can still press my home button and I can still hear it vibrate or ring when I get a notification. How can I get my phone to either unfreeze, or turn off?

You can't.  You'll have to wait until the battery runs out and then recharge the phone.  It will restart.
Sounds like now's a good time to get the phone fixed.

  • If you have a shattered screen and the lock button doesnt work, but you only tell the apple store about the lock button, will they give you a whole new phone, or just fix the button. Even if you still have warranty

    I recently broke my lock button when it dropped, and wont work again, also i shattered my screen a while back, but it didnt bother me. Now that i want to get the button fixed, will the apple store only fix the button, or the whole phone. I still have 2 weeks of warranty left so it's not like they'd fix one thing and not the other when either way they'll both be free ya know?

    They will not give you anything.
    They wil either return the device as is or replace it at the out of warranty replacement cost.

  • Iphone wont turn on and my sleep button doesnt work

    Not Charge
    - See:

    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My iphone 4s screen has just turned black but it is still vibrating. I was reading other messages similar and it says to resart phone but holding the home and lock button. However my lock button doesnt work what should i do?

    my iphone 4s screen has just turned black but it is still vibrating. I was reading other messages similar and it says to resart phone but holding the home and lock button. However my lock button doesnt work what should i do?

    Is it the Home button that doesn't work, or the Power (Sleep/Wake) button? If the Power button works, you can switch it off. Not sure how you have been able to do anything without the Home button working?

    Within the warranty period, unless the failure was caused by accidental damage it will be replaced for free.

    Unless somebody else has a micracle workaround I don't know.  Probably get the phone in for repair since it has been living on borrowed time so far and now you absolutely must have a working button.

    I know any device could malfucntion but if it costs $40,000 to buy you could at least warn someone of the possible malfuctions. It makes the company look bad when a large amount of your devices act up and you "cant help them" if they dont pay extra. Im just saying.
    Sorry but that makes no sense at all.  How can they possible know what things will possible malfunction on your device?  Anything that they think is highly likely to malfunction they would have addressed in desiging and manufacturing the device in the first place, during development.  They've made and sold many millions of iPhones, and many of them have lasted years without any problems (I know, I've owned such iPhones personally).  So how could they possible know if yours was any more likely to develop any issues than any of those other trouble free ones?
    It's hardware - stuff sometimes breaks randomly.  No amout of money ever guarantees or even reduces the likelyhood of random product failures.
    Take it in to Apple and see about getting it fixed.

  • My screen is smashed and lock button doesnt work, i pay insurance but apple is making me pay $230 when i havent even had my phone for a year! This happened to my friend and they just replaced hers :(

    Apple doesn't sell insurance. Talk to your insurance company.  The warranty does not cover accidental damage or abuse.
    If you purchased AppleCare+, you can get up to 2 discounted (US$49) replacements over the course of 2 years for user inflicted damage. Sounds like that's not what you have.
    As I said, talk to your insurance company.

  • My lock button doesnt work

    i got my iphone a month a go i never dropped it and the lock button doesnt work

    Apple will look at it and possible find the source of the problem.  Normally they will not fix an iPod,  Instead, they will exchange it for a refurbished iPod.  Her is the price:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    You need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.  If you go to the store's website, there is a section for making an appointment.
