Turn iPhone 5s On/Off using "Assistive Touch?"

I have an iPhone 5s. Is it possible to activate the "Assistive Touch" feature and use it to turn the phone off without having to use the on/off button on the top right off the phone? If so, how? Also how would you turn the phone back on after you have turned it off with Assistive Touch?
Thanks in advance
iPhone 5s

deggie's advice is excellent. In the meantime, plugging the phone in to a charger should cause it to turn on.

  • I need an application that will turn off my iPhone on the home screen just by a one click since my power button has sank and is no longer working--anyone have ideas?? I don't like having to use assistive touch and hit three buttons to lock my screen

    No such app exisits or can exist.  Apple doesn't allow 3rd party apps to access core functions of the phone.  Time to get your phone replaced or repaired if assistive touch doesn't needs your needs.

  • IPhone 5. My on-off button rarely works. I can power off with assistive touch. Is there a way to power on with assistive touch, given that the icon disappears?

    My on-off button rarely works. I can power off with assistive touch. Is there a way to power on without the on-off switch?

    Depending on what you mean by power off.  If you mean putting the phone to Sleep, you can tap on the Home button to bring it back. If you turn it off completely, then the only way to turn it on is to use the physical Power Button.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • Turn iPhone 4S 3G Off

    Hi...
    I would like to know if there is any way to turn the 3G network off without turning off the data network too...
    Because, here in Brazil, the 3G network signal its very bad and it consumes a lot of power.
    I have an iPhone 4S (5.0.1).
    Thanks a lot.

    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    Note: The inability to turn 3G on/off, on the iPhone 4S, may very well be a hardware limitation. Apple has not said, but the 4S uses a combination CDMA/GSM chip and speculation is that this chip prevents turning 3G on/off.

  • Updated to iOS 7 - Some of games lag when I use assistive touch

    I just recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 and always use assitive touch so I wont press the home button most often. But i notice that whenever i play games on my phone, it sometimes lag - its not fast like it used to when im using iOS 6. I have no idea whats wrong.

    Hi, PrincErick. I personally experience lag on my iPad mini (1st generation) with AssistiveTouch enabled and Increase Contrast disabled on iOS 7.
    You have two options to speed up your iPhone 5 in general:
    1) One is to disable AssistiveTouch since it's the main resource of the choppiness in iOS7 enabled devices. If you'd rather have AssistiveTouch enabled, then your other option is to
    2) Enable Increase Contrast in Accessibility.
    Also, if you're playing graphics intensive games such as "COD: Strike Team" or "Infinity Blade 3", it is best if you do a reboot (Hold the sleep/wake button then slide to power off then hold the sleep/wake button once again) before you play these games for optimum system performance.
    This is a software issue so the best we can hope for, and together with other people concerned with this matter, is for Apple to release a software update addressing this nasty AssistiveTouch bug.

  • Has anybody else been having issues with their home button after using assistive touch for a little while?

    Me and my brother have been messing with Assistive Touch on and off since iOS 5 canme out. We been noticing that when we actually move to use the home button, sometimes it doesnt respond. Though I'm all for thinking my home button my be on the fritz, it wouldnt explain how mine and my brother suddenly have issues with our home buttons at the same time. Both of us had a time where the home button didnt respond at all. and its been intermittent ever since. Anybody that has an answer or another case like this I' d like some information

    Reset Home button steps:
    (1) Tap Settings App, when it is open:
    (2) Hold Power button until "slide to power off" bar appears.
    (3) Don't slide it, release power button.
    (4) Gently, continuously press Home button for few seconds until home screen appears.
    (5) Done.
    If this does not help, further points to Hardware Problem.

  • After IOS5 update on ipod 4G, unresponsive touchscreen after using assistive touch on lock screen

    Well, after i installed the IOS5 update on my ipod 4G, everything seemed fine. That was until i tried using the assistive touch feature on lock screen to do a double finger gesture. Then, my entire touchscreen just died. It didnt work and i had to use buttons (voice control) to play my songs... so lame ><
    Anyways this started as a question, but i found the solution... FACTORY RESTORE!!! but ok, just warning you guys dont try it. this is a bug i suppose that needs to be fixed. I
    If anyone else has this issue, then heres the solution again, restore your IOS.

    ok i cant replicate it so maybe it was only one time thing. BUT it still lags like crap when im on lock screen and i use the gestures.

  • IPod Touch Screen not Working after using Assistive Touch

    Hey everyone!
    Yesterday my iPod Touch 4th gen touch screen froze (not the screen itself - it still wakes from sleep & responds to notifications and charging etc.), after myself accidentally taping 'Voice Control' on Assistive Touch.
    I was wondering, since it's out of warranty (it's a couple of years old), I can't send it back. I'm currently backing up & restoring it.
    Can anyone tell me if it's the software or hardware? It's going to take at least a good day or so to backup & restore, due to storage is full, and it's 32GB capacity, so it'd be good to know in advance.
    And if anyone has got any other suggestions to fix it, please let me know! It'll be much appreciated.
    Thanks heaps!
    PS. Please don't tell me to repair it...it'll cost just as much to fix my whole iPod, buttons & screen than it is to buy a brand new one!!

    There is really no what to know if hardware or software problem without trying to restoring the iPod. First from backup and then to factory settings/new iPod. If still problem then it is a hardware problem.

  • I turned iPhone automatic backup off and it won't turn back on.

    Ok. So I previously turned off automated backups on iphone. I didn't know there was a gui option to do this so I typed in the terminal command.
    defaults write com.apple.iTunes AutomaticDeviceBackupsDisabled -bool true
    This worked. Yet, for some reason, I can't get the opposite command to work (replacing "true" with "false") and I no longer have the right click contextual menu in itunes to manually backup.
    Frankly,  a little scary to not be able to backup because I mess with the phone a lot.
    PS Any solutions? I haven't recieved any errors through itunes, it is just a lack of options.

    You have to get rid of the key AutomaticDeviceBackupsDisabled.
    Paste this in the Terminal:
    defaults delete com.apple.iTunes AutomaticDeviceBackupsDisabled

  • Should i use the home button normally on daliy basis , or i have to use assestive touch to keep more long life for home button

    is the home button durable or after some time will be lost

    I have a 2+ year old iPod touch.  I'm always closing apps that I don't use in order to minimize background activity that uses battery power.  I've noticed that the home button has become much less responsive recently, no doubt because I'm compulsively hitting the home button to close unused apps.
    Thus, the answer to your question is that it depends.  If you are like the vast majority of users, it will not cause a problem.  If, however, you have this strange compulsion to close apps, then it may degrade the response of the home button.  On my iPhone 6, I'm using assistive touch to avoid this.
    (Note: I'm aware of the many posts stating that keeping apps open doesn't use up the battery or confuse the operating system.  I'm hard-headed, though, so I just keep closing apps.  By comparison, my wife routinely has 20 or more apps open along with 30+ Safari pages at any one time.  Different strokes for...)
