My lock button on my iPhone 4 is stuck. What do I do now?

I was just sitting in the car texting and went to lock my phone, and it was extremely hard to press the lock button. Well I ignored it, got another text, and went to lock my phone again and this time it wouldn't lock. I've never had any lock button problems with this phone, and neither did my mom who owned it first. I didn't drop it or anything. It just seems stuck as if i could pull it out and it would keep working. I don't want to make the problem worse, so now what do I do?

If the physical button will not go down then more than likely there is some foreign debris under it. I might try some compressed air to attempt to free it, otherwise if you don't want to void your warranty it has to goto an apple store.

Lock button not working, iphone 4s

Two weeks ago I was going to turn my iphone on and I normaly pressed to lock button, then suddenly it got stuck! I am going to send it in to apple for be repaired but since my iphone is 1-2 years old i've decided to get a new one. Is it possible to get a part of my new iphone (5s) covered by apple? Sorry my english, and thanks for help.

Apple will not repair this problem, they will offer replacement iPhone 4S for $199, it will be exact perfect iPhone just like yours same color, GB everything. If you want to try Virtual Lock Button, tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new screen white button > tap Device > Lock. This can be used to turn OFF iPhone. To turn iPhone ON, connect to power, ie charger or USB of computer.

My lock button on my iphone broke, i have apple care, but will i still have to pay for it to be fixed when i send it in? and how will i get a loaner phone?

The lock button on my iphone is jammed, and i need to send it in to get it fixed. Can someone explain the process to me of sending in your phone to apple? and even if i have apple care, will i still have to pay for my phone to be fixed? if so, around how much do you think this would cost? im not familiar with apple, so any help would be great! thanks!

If your phone was damaged by you or in accidental damage, then you would be liable to pay for the repairs. Apple does not offer "loaner" phones, but if you have a credit card, they will "advance ship" a replacement to you so you can get it, then return your damaged one to them and as long as they get it back within a resonable time and it is warranty covered damage, they do not charge you for the replacement iPhone, but they do charge you a fee for the advanced replacement option (about $40-80 USD IIRC).
You can eliminate all the at by making an appointment at a local AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) and they should be able to check your iPhone on the spot. It it is covered under the warranty, they shoud replace it for free right there, and if not, they would let you know and you have the choice to make the repairs or not.

Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even thoug it

Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even though the iphone is in warranty.

iPhones do not have an international warranty. Warranty is valid only for the country of purchase. This is most likely because different countries require different iPhone models. Not reasonable to expect all countries to maintain stock for all models.

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.

The lock button on my iPhone 5 no longer locks my phone, but takes a screenshot. Any suggestions as to why and how to fix it?

Sounds like there's actually an issue with your Home button. Screenshots happen when you press both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons simultaneously.

My Lock button on my iphone 5 has stopped working, and I'm not sure what to do.

My Lock button on my iphone 5 has stopped working, and I'm not sure what to do.

This will be covered by the 1 year Warranty. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. Until then try Settings App > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even turn iPhone OFF. To turn ON, connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

In a hurry, I opened an email that said "order was shipped from "ammazon". I downloaded the order document and it ended up being a zip file. I then realized what it was, and did not actually open the file. This was on my Iphone 5. What should I do now!?

Delete the email. The zip file will have no effect on your iPhone.

What do you do if the lock button on your iphone is broke

My iphone 4 lock button won't let me push it down, it is stuck down. Please help

Take it to Apple to be looked at. No one here can fix it.

The lock button on my iphone 5 is broken and I want to replace it at an apple store but I haven't paid my phone bill for AT&T so my phone has no service. Can i still replace my iPhone 5 whether or not i have to activate my phone with AT&T? Help please

Earlier i meantioned that my lock screen was broken. That was a mistake its my lock button i apologize. But do i still have to pay for my phone bill and activate my AT&T account in order to replace my iPhone 5 at an apple store?? Or not because of the one-year warranty??

The lock button on my iPhone5 has also started acting up. Extremely annoying. I have to get it replaced, but I've dropped my phone once and there is a scratch on the top left corner of the phone, so I'm not sure what the warranty says about this situation.

My lock button on my iPhone 4 is stuck. What do I do now?
