Power/sleep button broken... iPhone turned off with still some battery, how do i get it to turn back on?

my power button on my iphone 4 is broken/stuck. phone turned off but not because of empty battery so charging does not help to turn in back on. i cannot get the phone to come on. what can i do?

Does the iPhone charge at all or does it stay on the low battery display?

    Yes i had the phone for 1 and a half years now. and no the sim thing is when i updated to IOS5.0.1 i have read about it and it has happend to quite a few people when there updated to the IOS5 or 5.0.1, 5.1 is meant to fix this issue so i heard.
    I tried the sim in a friends phone Iphone 3G, activates fine, I been down to my local orange shop there said there seen a few problems like this and it is due to the IOS5 or 5.0.1 there tried over 20 sims and managed to get one to work i think it is because of the basebind update, but anyway i have took my phone into a local repair shop and there are repairing it for me and wow there have good prices there can repair it for £30 and it be ready first thing in the morning, apple said there can repair it for £80 and it could take upto 3 weeks so i need my phone for tommorow so i took it into the repair shop and it is alot cheaper.

  • Why is my iphone starting to receive emails twice and how do I get it to go back to just getting it once?

    My iphone 4S has started receiving email messges twice but still only coming in once in my outlook on my PC - how do I get the email messages on my iphone to go back to just coming in once?

    To repair any hardware damage would require opening the phone up.
    Software, put the handset into DFU mode and try that, it's a basic operating system on the phone that does nothing other than process the firmware upgrade request

  • IPhone switches off with 10-20% battery after installing iOS8

    I've upgraded to iOS8 on 17th.
    Since then, the iphone now switches itself off when battery is around 10-20% of battery.
    very annoying.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

    Hold down home and sleep buttons for about 15 seconds.   If you don't see the Apple logo, plug phone into wall charger for at least 15 minutes.

  • Broken power/sleep button

    I have had my iphone 4 since Oct 2010 and it is still in great condition.  But, within minutes, my power/sleep button stoped working.  It isn't stuck, but is not functioning in any way.  Is there a solution I can tackle by myself or am I out of luck?  Also, I didn't buy it directly from the apple store, I bought it from ATT. (Oct 2010ish?) Is this a fix that needs "major" or "minor" surgery?
    THANK YOU!

    You can bring it to a 3rd party repair shop if you wish, but out of warranty exchange via Apple is $149.00.  AT&T does not handle repairs; don't even bother bringing it there.

  • My Power/sleep Button is'nt working on iPhone 5

    Bring it in to an Apple Store.

  • Power / sleep button won't work

    Using an iPad 2, the power / sleep button stopped working.  Pressing the button won't make it sleep.  Holding the button won't shut it down.  I tried a hard restart (pressing the power and home buttons at the same time) for 10 seconds then one minute, and nothing happend.  So I decided to restore the ipad and backed it up to my MBP in iTunes.  When I clicked the button to Restore a message said some apps weren't transferred, but I don't know how to transfer apps and figured that's what a back up is.  I tried drag/drop of apps but that didn't work.  I looked around for instructions how to transfer the apps but there was nothing but Back Up, so I clicked Restore.
    The iPad was Restored, but all the apps were deleted and the power / sleep button still doesn't work, so it won't shut off or sleep.
    Any ideas?

    More than likely, you have a hardware problem with the iPad sleep button and there is nothing that you can do about it other than to have the device replaced. That will be covered under the warranty, if the device is under one year old and if the damage was not caused by user abuse. You should probably contact Apple or take the iPad to an Apple store for evaluation.
    When the iPad Ian connected to iTunes on the Mac - if you click on the iPad name under the devices heading - and then click on the Apps Tab in the iTunes window on the right - do you see your apps in iTunes? If you see them in the list, sync them back to the iPad.
    If you don't see them, if they are gone .... You can download most of your purchased content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. Read more about it here.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear.

  • Power/Sleep Button "Lags"

    Recently I've been having problems with my Power/Sleep button. Sometimes, the button fails to respond and the only way to fix it so far is to connect it to iTunes and disconnect it.
    Now at first I thought it was a software error, so I updated but still the same problem. I also restored numerous times, but no avail.
    This is recently happening quite often and very annoying.
    What should I do?

    If this is still happening after restoring as "new iPhone" in iTunes, there may be a hardware problem. Your only option is to make an appointment with an Apple store Genius Bar to get it checked out.
