Turn on/off button wont work on iphone 4s

hey everyone,
for about about 2 weeks now my iphone 4s turn on/off button wont work. It seems stuck and i just cannot press on it I hadnt dropped it or damaged it in any way. To make matters worse I am currently living in Germany and am not due to return to Australia until October. Does anyone know if I can go into an apple store here in Germany and they will replace or fix the phone under warranty? I got this refurbished iphone last year from apple store in August after my previous one had just broken for no reason.
To make matters worse, my phone fell in the toilet this morning. I have since turned it off so as not to fry the battery. Iphone seems still to be working but now im worried that even if i can get it fixed in germany they won't because they might say its water damaged even though I had this problem with on/off button prior.
any help would be appreciated!!!
thanks

My screen is frozen and the home and off buttons wont work. what should i do?

What do you do if your iPad screen freezes and it wont do anything? Home and off buttona wont work!

Have you tried both together for a Reset? Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!
Failing that see here for unresponsive iPads - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281

My home button wont work on iphone 4 and it can not charge and shuts off at random times, what do i do?

For some time now my iphone shuts off randomly or does not charge but as i woke up this morning, my iphone did not charge the previous night and would not reconize any charger. continuosly trying, the home button suddenly stopped working! this is a nightmare whats wrong with my phone?!
P.S. I changed the color of my phone (the glass back) will apple still fix it for me?

Apple wouldn't replace it. Since you replaced your rear glass im assuming you know a little something on how to open the iPhone. Go ahead and order a new Charge port flex cable (it runs the home button as well) Unless the home button has damaged under the "dome" you wouldnt need to replace that cable unless you really have too.

You can try Restoring it in iTunes but I have a feeling the switch is broken and you will have to get it serviced.

I had the same situation with my iPod touch 5th gen. You can manually reboot it thru pressing sleep/wake button and holding it up to 10 secs - no data will be lost.. This didn't work in mine, but to some it did..
If it won't work, you could do what I did which is I reset all settings in the Reset part. It won't lose any data, just the settings (if you have just less settings did to the device, which I had). So just configure or tweak things again in the settings when it reset again.
Hope this somehow helps!

My iphone wont turn on but i can still receive calls only the screen stay black and the home and off button wont affect it

I used my house phone to call the iphone to see if it will help and my iphone rang but i couldnt do anything about it. The screen just stayed off and the home and on/off button wont affect it.

Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

I dropped my Iphone in water and the on/off button stopped working, how do I fix it?

I dropped my phone in some water and it was only in there for about two or three seconds. I grabbed it and dried it straight away and made sure to get in all of it, and it was fine, everything worked. But about an hour after the on/off button stopped working, so i have to use the home button to unlock it and have to wait for the screen to turn off after 1 minute of leaving it. I cant turn it off and dont know how to fix it. Will it go away on its own, do I have to send it off to get fixed? This literally happened like two hours ago, and my phone is a bit more than a year old. Can anyone help me?

Make an app;ointment at the genius bar and take your credit card. You can get an out of warrnty replacement for an iPhone 4 for $149.
If you had just done it, the advice would have been to shut it off and put it in a bowl or bag of uncooked rice or silica gel for a week. Unfortunately, since it's been powered on for several hours, since then, it may have been permanently damaged. You can try the rice trick, but be prepared to pay for a replacement at some point down the road.

TS2634 my iphone 4 lost signal this afternoon & turned itself off & now wont turn back on! help!!

my iPhone 4 lost signal this afternoon, turned itself off & now wont turn back on!! please help????

1. Reset phone - press both home and power buttons for up to 30 seconds until the Apple logo appears/
2. If no response, plug into AC adaptor and charge for at least 30 minutes.
3. Repeat Reset if no response to charging.
4. If still no signs of live, there is a hardware failure. Take it to Apple or whovever provides iPhone service in your country.

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?

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.

I can listen to music but my silent switch wont work my phone wont vibrate but will ring, and the volume buttons wont work on my iPhone 4

i can listen to music but my silent switch wont work my phone wont vibrate but will ring, and the volume buttons wont work the speaker will work asweell

Have you done a restore of the phone to see if that fixed the problem with the speaker? If that doesnt help then you probably damaged something inside the phone when you dropped it.
If you're annoyed by the problem, you can always get a replacement phone
