The on off button no longer works on my iPhone 4s. If I update my iOS will my phone turn itself off as part of the process? If it does I won't be able to turn it back on so I need to know but can't remember from last time!!!

Will my iPhone 4s turn off as part of the process of updating my iOS? The on/off button on my iphone doesn't work so I can't allow my phone to run out of battery or turn off because I will not be able to turn it back on.

Ok here is a nuance
Try it - when your phone locks
Insert the charging cord which is connected to a power source on the other end  - wait about a minute - and then take it out
The screen will "wake up"
That is always your way out
I use assistive touch as well to lessen the wear and tear on my home button
Sleep mode is what your phone does when you are asleep

  • Seems the gyroscope function is no longer working on my iPhone 5c. Suggestions?

    Seems the gyroscope function is no longer working on my iPhone 5c. Suggestions?

    Thank you so much for this reply.  I had already seen this reboot suggestion and actually tried it.  During the night I realized that I had phrased the question wrong because I really had the issue of getting my iPhone to change to LANDSCAPE mode. For some reason I asked for help on the gyroscope Thinking that the gyroscope controlled this feature.  I found that I had accidentally turned on the "orientation lock"  and by bringing up the control panel from the bottom of the screen I was able to find this lock button and correct the problem.    The truth is ---- the iPhone scree is so small that I was not able to see this little lock symbol at all.   I found this symbol on my iPad and transferred the knowledge to my iPhone.  Everything is working fine now And I thank you very much for taking the time to write to me.  SuzanneVA

  • IOS 7 is preventing my ford car sync working. The skip track buttons no longer work. Any help.

    iOS 7 problems with ford sync. Skip track button no longer works.

    Sorry, I used the wrong term in my original post. I don't mean to say "mute" my phone, but meant lower the volume!
    Should have read: "In Smart Actions, if I want to lower the notification volume on my phone to 13% when I'm in a meeting it only adjusts the volume for calls - not text or email notifications! What the heck is the point of adjusting your phone volume if it doesn't affect all the notifications!?"

  • The down volume buttons doesn't work on my iPhone

    My down volume button doesn't not work on my iPhone 5. What can I do to fix it

    Thanks, daniel.early79!
    I have an iPhone5 bought in late Dec 2012.
    I've noticed on rare occassions that the volume down button some times would not respond.
    Starting yesterday, the volume down button would not respond more consistently.
    Sometimes a reset would fix it, sometimes a reset network would fix it, but the problem would come back.
    Came across this thread, and pressing gently on the upper right hand corner fixed it!
    I remember seeing some video on Youtube or iFixit that shows how to replace the power button. It appears that the volume buttons and the power buttons are tied in together on the same piece of connector. I supposed taking the iphone in and out of cases may have warped or twisted the connector inside the case ever so slightly that the sensor for the down volume button got shifted.
    The down volume button works now, after doing the trick you suggested. I'll wait and see if it comes back before taking it in for warranty repair.

    I had this same issue. I spent time on live chat with Apple Support last night. I went through all of their trouble shooting. This included: making sure airplane mode is off; resetting the network settings; and finally doing a factory reset (2 times) and restoring my phone. None of these worked. The support tech told me that the "WiFi radio is not functioning" which is a hardware problem. Only thing you can do is have the phone serviced or replaced. Hopefully you are still under warranty so it doesn't cost you anything. But if not, sounds like it will be about $199 to replace, according to other posts.

  • Got an iPhone 4 and after updating to iOS 6 my wifi is dropping off constantly and can no longer send pics on iMessage any help?

    I am so done with this crappy updating, first it was that I could no longer keep on my wifi for more than a few minutes coz it cuts off continuously and now I can no longer send pics with my iMessage. Going to switch to another brand. It's overpriced and its giving me lots of headaches

  • After upgrading to Yosemite my mac doesn't shut off. The off button doesn't work

    After upgrading to Yosemite, my mac doesn't shut off.  The off button no longer works. I want to shut the thing off.

    Jehreth,
    On my Macbook Pro you have to hold the power button down a moment till a little window pops up and asks what you would like to do. Also you can go to:
    (  ) Menu > Shut down ...
    to shutdown your Mac. Or are you saying that these options do not work?
    Hope that helps,

  • Immediately after latest ios7 update, the buttons on all of my headphones stop working on my iPhone 5. They all work on my iPod 4 though. So why are they no longer working on my iPhone?

    I have three set of earbud, two that came from Apple and one pair from Yurbuds, all with 3-button inline microphones. All worked properly prior to the most recent iOS update and all still work properly on my iPod 4. However, now with my iPhone 5, I can still listen to music on all three sets of earphones but the buttons no longer work. No volume up or down, no start or stop. Is this coincidental equipment failure, or could the iOS update have impacted the functionality of my headphone buttons? Also, the microphones still work too, just the buttons do not.

    This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.

  • Yahoo mail page sign-in button no longer works

    I suddenly can't sign into my yahoo accounts on my iPad 1.  It seems the sign-in button no longer works, when I tap it or use the "go" button, nothing happens - no error message, nothing.  I've re-set the iPad and I still can't sign in.  I can get to all of the other Yahoo web pages, just not my mail.  I can sign into other websites no problem.  Any suggestions?  Is my iPad now completely obsolete?
    I can sign in without a problem on my iMac.
    Thanks,
    Kathleen

    Reset your iPad. This will do no harm and you will not lose any data. See if that works. If not, clear Safari and then try again.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.

  • Sleep button no longer works

    Sleep button no longer works, how do I get it fixed and how much will it cost. It is a repalcement from Sprint insurance and only hac it about 5 months.

    The warranty will cover that is the device is only three months old and if the defect was not caused by accidental damage - like you droppoing it. I'm not accussing you of anything, I am just explaining how the warranty works.
    I would try resetting the device - even though you need the sleep button to perform the reset. See if that works and then see if it helps at all.

    I would also try the iPad without the cover for a while to see if the cover is playing games with the lock feature.

    You may have debris in your headphone jack blocking the sensor.  Try blowing hard on the jack, and inserting/removing your headphones quickly multiple times to clear it.
