How to power on an iPhone if lock button is broken?

I have an iPhone 5 and the power/lock button on top is broken. I know that I can use the assistive touch thing to power off the iPhone. After powering it off, is there any way for me to power it on without plugging it into the wall or my laptop?

Why do so many turn it off? You never need to shut an iphone off, I haven't shut mine off in 2 years. (Just flip the corner switch at night if you don't want it ringing and it makes it silent, the battery does not drop when an iphone goes dormant).

Don't be a cheapo and fix it

  • My iPhone power button is broken, what can I do? So out of nowhere, my power button stopped working. I have to use the home button to turn the screen on, and I can't turn the phone off, I just wait until it goes off by itself. I got it last November an it's been less than a year, am I still under warranty? What should I do? How much does it cost to get it fixed?
  • My iphone power button is broken, how do I cancel incoming calls? So my power button is broken and i'm on assistive touch but the problem with assistive touch is that to get to the power button i have to press the dot then a sub menu then the lock so to cancel an incoming call i have to press six times and it's kinda annoying, so is there a shortcut where i can cancel the calls by one or two touches can i change the function of other buttons to make it cancel the call?
  • My iPhone 5 lock/power button broken. Does it come with Warranty? I bought the phone when it came out and didn't get any "special care package".Is the standard warranty one year? Can I take it in to an apple store to replace/fix without paying any extra?
  • Iphone lock button broken, is there any alternative to lock iphone? My iphone 3G lock button is totally damaged and is out of warranty and I can't afford to get it repaired. I was wondering is there any app which can convert "silent" button to lock button. Or may be an app on which i can manually lock the device. By the way my Iphone is jailbroken, and "accessibility" is not accessible.
