The sleep button on my iPhone 4 is stuck, do you know anything that I could do?

I have been reading everyones discussions, and it seems like this is happening alot. I was wondering what you guys did when your iPhone's sleep/power button was frozen. Mine still works, but it is very difficult to use. I have to hit it a few times for it to actually turn off.... It is very difficuilt, and it acts like it is stuck or jammed. What can i do?
Thanks,

Perhaps take it to a genius bar and ask for a new one. If there is no apparent crack or something, I think they will change it for a new one.
Using other methods are risky, so I don't recommend doing the hammering and batting yourself.

  • How much is it to replace the sleep button on an iPhone 4?

    I already replaced my iPhone 4 a few months ago and now the sleep button is acting up again. I know my warranty is ending so how much would it be to replace it?

    If your warranty has not yet ended, or is close, it probably won't cost you anything. Otherwise it will be $199 USD at an Apple Store to do an out-of-warranty replacement or use Google to find 3rd party repair sites such as http://www.iresq.com

  • The home button on my iPhone 4 gets stuck in when pressed

    Periodically when i am using my iphone and i press the home button it get stuck in and is very difficult to get back out. This doesnt happen every time i use the home button but it is happening more and more frequently. It started happening about a month before the iphone warranty ran out and i didnt think much of it. However now the iphone has been out of warranty for a month it seems to be happening more and more frequently. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix my iphone?

    Even though it is out of warranty, take it into a nearby Apple Store (or email/call Apple) and ask somebody about it. It may be you are pressing to hard, or there is a fault inside the button which is causing it to get stuck sometimes.

  • I mistakenly deleted the settings button on my iPhone, help!?

    I mistakenly deleted the settings button on my iPhone. Now I don't know how to restore it. Help!

    you can't really "delete" that button but its possible its hidden in a folder, search for it in your folders and if all else fails then you can search "settings" on the leftmost screen on the iphone (hit the round button on bottom of phone swipe your finger left to right on your screen)

  • TS1702 The music app on my Iphone 4S is stuck.

    The music app on my Iphone 4S is stuck.   It keeps playing that same song over and over.  It won't progress to the next song on the playlist on its own, I have to use the next button to move it to the next song manually.  The shuffle doesn't work either.  I was going to delete it and reinstall it, but I can't even get an x to appear in the corner to delete and reinstall it (perhaps because it came preinstalled on the phone).  Anybody have this same problem, or a solution?

    If it keeps repeating the same song, then you probably have Repeat activated. See this graphic for the oval arrow to the left.
    If it is white it is off, if orange it is on. See the User Guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

  • Sent my iPhone 5 in for the sleep button replacement but it has been denied due to scratches??

    As the title suggests,  i have sent my phone in for the Sleep wake button replacement program that has been offered by Apple. But after sending my phone in to Machines (Because I'm in Malaysia), they have notified me that Apple themselves have denied my phone for the replacement program due to the scratches i have on my phone. I am utterly dissapointed by the way Apple is handling this situation. Has the Scratches to do with anything with the sleep button? And it has come to my attention that the page on the Apple website containing the details about the program has said nothing about scratches making the iPhone 5 ineligible for this program and i dare say that my phone is in perfect working order.

    Here are the specifics for the button replacement program in the US:  https://ssl.apple.com/support/iphone5-sleepwakebutton/
    You need to check the Apple website for your country, and it is imperative that you read every word.
