What's up with the lock button on my iPhone 5! Sometimes it works, mostly it doesn't.

The lock button on my phone doesn't really work.

i am having the same problem
i set up an appointment at the apple store for tomorrow at 11am
my friend had the same problem and they replaced his phone as soon as they saw the button wasn't working every single time it was pushed.

  • My iphone doesnt want to start.all it shows is the apple icon.nothing more.i have tried holding the home button together with the lock button.what can i do .thanks

    my iphone 4 doesnt want to start . all it shows is the apple icon.i have tried holding the home button together with the lock button. nothing seems to work . please help.

    Plug the iPhone in with the Wall Charger. Then while plugged in do the Reset again, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone Restarts. This usually begins to happen in less than 20 seconds time.
    If you this does not work you can try to Restore the Firmware on your iPhone. If you decide to do this, connect your iPhone to your computer with iTunes open. Hold both the Home and Power buttons until the iPhone is detected by iTunes in Recovery Mode, this takes about 20 seconds time. Restore your iPhone.
    If this does not work, you can try to Restore the Firmware on your iPhone in DFU Mode. Connect your iPhone to your computer with iTunes open. Hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release the Power Button and keep holding the Home Button until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode, about 20 seconds more time. Restore the iPhone.
    If this does not work and you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take your iPhone to Apple for resolution of the problem.

    My Lock button on my iphone 5 has stopped working, and I'm not sure what to do.

    This will be covered by the 1 year Warranty. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. Until then try Settings App > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even turn iPhone OFF. To turn ON, connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

  • Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even thoug it

    Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even though the iphone is in warranty.

    iPhones do not have an international warranty.  Warranty is valid only for the country of purchase.  This is most likely because different countries require different iPhone models.  Not reasonable to expect all countries to maintain stock for all models.

  • The home button on my iphone 5 is not working.

    The home button on my iphone 5 is not working, so I'm using assistive touch.  How do I close open apps without double tapping the home button?

    The other possible things you can try would include...
    Inserting the lightning connector and applying a little bit of pressure up under the Home button.
    Some folks have cleaned the Home button with a few drops of isopropic alochol caring to not get it on your screen.  This is only going to get things working again if it has been gummed up through normal use
    If you are still within the one-year warranty or extended it with Apple Care don't try any of these steps just take it to Apple. 

  • The greeting button on my iPhone 4S is not working it is there but i can't press it why is that?

    The greeting button on my iPhone 4S is not working it is there but it is grayed out I am trying to change my greeting from personal to the default one how to I fix this?

    I have a similar issue I could use help with.  I just upgraded to a iPhone 4S and received my new phone but there is no Greeting buttong at all.  When I go to the phone icon, then the voicemail icon the voicemail icon automatially dials an A.T.& T voicemail number  - there is no Greetings on the top lefthand corner.  My cousin has the same phone and she has Greetings typed at the top of her voicemail page and she can click on it and then there is a place to leave a voice mail message.  The upshot is, I have no outgoing message and  nothing for people to hear and no way for people to leave messages.  Any suggestions?

  • The lock button on my iphone 5 is broken and I want to replace it at an apple store but I haven't paid my phone bill for AT&T so my phone has no service. Can i still replace my iPhone 5 whether or not i have to activate my phone with AT&T? Help please

    Earlier i meantioned that my lock screen was broken. That was a mistake its my lock button i apologize. But do i still have to pay for my phone bill and activate my AT&T account in order to replace my iPhone 5 at an apple store?? Or not because of the one-year warranty??

    The lock button on my iPhone5 has also started acting up. Extremely annoying. I have to get it replaced, but I've dropped my phone once and there is a scratch on the top left corner of the phone, so I'm not sure what the warranty says about this situation.

  • How can I turn my phone back on after shutting it off with the lock button not working?

    The lock button on my phone wont work, now, I have the AssistiveTouch on to lock and shut off the phone, however, how would I turn it back on afterwards? Could I just use the home button? I don't want to test it and end up with a shut off phone that cannot be turned on again...

    Thank you.  I need some kind of options, so this helps out a bit.

  • 4.2 OS problem with the lock button

    The screen lock function has moved to the MT bar which you would know if you had looked around here or done a search. There have been many posts on this subject.
    Double tap the home key, swipe to the right, and there is your new lock function on the left!

    I have had my iPhone 5 for approximately 4 months, about a month ago the lock button became unresponsive not only on the right side but the left as well. Is there anyway to get this fixed without going to an Apple Store?

    Possibly not... However...
    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Restart / Reset

    Backing up, Updating and Restoring

    If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

    The home button in my iPhone does not work.  Does anybody know how to restore it?

    If the basics from the User Guide have all been tried (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) and you still have problems, then you've done all the troubleshooting you can do.  You'll need to bring your phone into Apple or an authorized service provider in your area.
