Sleep awake button goes on and off

My iphone 4g sleep awake / power button didn't function for almost 2months, but worked again after using iTools 2012 clean device. It fell and the button didn't work again, repeated iTools clean device but this time, no luck. Any help, or is it hardware related issue.

It turns out it was a faulty charger.

Sleep/Awake Button not working

My Sleep/Awake button has stopped functioning completely. Any suggestions?

Well turning off and on really isn't "turning off". Turning off is really like "hibernation" on a laptop, I would normally "reboot" it with the two button approach before it stopped working.
But that is besides the point. I never see a need to "turn it off" so not really a big deal. I have had to set the autolock to 1 min (use to have it higher as I would lock it manually when I was done with phone before). So that is a bit annoying. I also cannot tell the phone to ignore call or silence ring (press once when a call comes in to silence, press twice to drop them to voice mail at that moment). But at least I can flip the silent switch and just let it vibrate if I don't want to answer. I also cannot do a screen shot.
All no big deal, but I hate I cannot "reboot" the phone. When things start to get sluggish or an app(s) acts up, a reboot is the cure all 99% of the time. For me, I cannot. So either I have to live with it until eventually if there is an app issue that compounds, it will reboot itself eventually, or I have to do a restore (really doesn't take that long). Those the current version of the OS is better than earlier ones about getting messed up that a reboot is needed (I have had iPhone since day one of original so went through all versions of the OS).

My sleep/wake button is broken/jammed and I forgot my password help

I need to restore but in order to do that I need to put my phone in recovery mode. However, my sleep/wake button does not work. It's jammed I think because I can't press down on it. The button isn't a big deal to me but since I forgot my lock code I don't know what else to do. I no longer have access to the computer I orginally synced it to. I've searched but everything either says to restore or do something that requires the screen to be unlocked. It's and ipod touch 4th gen

Use this program to place the iPod in recovery mode.

My iPod touch sleep/wake button is jammed.

Does anyone know any way to get my sleep/wake button fixed for cheap? I don't even inderstand why it's jammed. I have been gental with it, such. I'm really expecting any good support as Apple is horrible with that. (From past expierences) But I just decided to post so I could find out what has work best for anyone who expierenced the same problems. Also, my friend's iPod isn't charging. Yesterday it worked completely fine, and then today at school it suddenly stopped working. We switched iPods for the day and I tried to fix his iPod but nothing will work. I have tried forced recovery and DFU mode. I think it may be a bad battery or maybe the charger port is broken, but how do I tell?

For the Power switch Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?
For your freind's iPod
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Also:
- Try another cable
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.

My question is what if I have troubleshooted with holding the sleep/awake button and power and it's not changing to any other screen what should I do? It doesn't even show the battery strength wheither its completely dead or charging at all.

- If you did not charge the iPod for a couple of hours before you did the reset then charege and reset:
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.
- Then connect to your computer and if iTunes sees the iPod restore via iTunes.
- Next see if recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

HT201412 my iphone 4 is not turning on even after long pressing home and sleep/awake button together. plz help me to resolve this issue bcoz i am unable to use my phone.

my iphone 4 is not turning on even after long pressing home and sleep/awake button together (about 10-60 sec).

Crap. That's what I was afraid of...Well, since I'm away from home and not near my pc, it sounds like I'm out of luck. The problem is that I need my phone to be at least functional for making and receiving calls. There's an apple store nearby. Perhaps I can go there and have them restore it and at least I'll be able to make and receive calls until I get home and restore from my backup. Does that sound feasible, or am I missing something?
P.s. I tried to click "correct answer" and accidentally hit "helpful". Sorry about that...

Button Sleep / Awake - Boton de encendido

Hola,
He acudido a una tienda autorizada de apple (no es una apple store oficial) para la ejecución del reemplazo del botón de encendido o Sleep / Awake, ya había comprobado que mi serial participa en este programa, cuando he ido a la tienda, el chico me ha dicho que para aceptar mi teléfono debía instalar una aplicación que supuestamente comprobaba si el botón servía o no servía, ya que si servía, no me lo aceptaban.
Por supuesto, no deje que un extraño instalara una aplicación en mi teléfono, pero quería saber si esto es así, o si en la tienda simplemente deben corroborar mi serial y con esa información es suficiente para mandarlo a apple para el cambio.
English:
Hi,
I went to a store authorized by apple for the button Sleep/awake replacement program, I've already check my serial at the apple's website and my iPhone it's on the program. But in this store, the guy says that he has to install an application in my iPhone to know if the button doesn't really work.Obviously, I didn't let he to install any app in my phone.
So, my question is, ¿Do I have to let him to install an app on my phone o he just have to check the serial on the website?
PD: It's no an official apple store, there's none in my country
Gracias!

What country & what store?
Are they an official Apple authorized service center?

Soft reset without sleep/awake button?

My iTunes music player has been frozen for a few days and I can't get it working again. I would like to try a soft reset but my sleep/awake button also isn't working. Any ideas how to get around this?
Thanks

"Enable Assistive Touch: Tap SETTINGS, General, Accessibility, AssistiveTouch (near the bottom) and tap AssistiveTouch to ON. You will now notice a small dark square with a circle in the middle (you can move this square anywhere). Tap the dark circle to open the assistiveTouch menu, then tap Device and tap and HOLD the Lock Screen icon. This will bring up the iPhone's Power-Off slider - no need for a power button any longer! **Voted Best Method to turn off an iPhone with a broken power button"
and to restart just keep on charging your phone would start.
cheers guys have fun..

Sleep/Awake button in shrinking to the left

Hello,
I just bought my iPhone 3G S and I used it for a while ( 2 weeks ) and I was shocked today when I saw that the sleep/awake button is shrinking toward the left. Any one experienced the same issue? is it an issue to worry about? because I have heard that some people are having their phone to hang up calls because of the sleep/awake button.
This pic shows my situation

Please advice,
Thanks,
Rashid

Hello,
Oh yeah? Well I have been reading about this issue for a bit now and I saw that many users complain about this issue while still no proper replay from Apple yet. I'm a bit concerned with the case which the phone goes to sleep randomly " which happened with the iPhone 1st Gen" and I guess that maybe this is the actual case. Well, to be on the safe side, I have downloaded 3rd party application which allow me to reboot, sleep, shutdown my iPhone without the actual need to the sleep awake button at least for know until I assure that this case is completely normal.

My iphone 4 is frozen on the slide to unlock screen. ive tried the sleep/awake button home button but it doesnt work can someone help me :)

By the slide to unlock screen, are you talking about the slider at the bottom of the screen after taking out of sleep mode?
And by trying the sleep/wake button and home button, are you talking about a reboot by holding both the power/sleep button and the home button until the apple logo appears and it reboots? And that does not help release the issue with the slider?
Are you sure the iPhone is well charged?
If none if this helps, have you tried syncing/backing up to a compter and then restore by iTunes on a computer?
If you cannot do any of this it would be good to schedule a visit to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs try their hand and diagnostics.
