IPhone 5 power button acting funny?

My iPhone 5 (AT&T) power button has been acting really strange lately. Randomly, while the power button is NOT being pressed, it will show the power off slider that shows when you hold down the power button for a short while. I won't even be pressing the button and this will happen. It also has occurred while I'm using the phone causing a lot of screenshots and shut offs. This is quite annoying while I'm trying to text. At times the power button WILL work but mostly it is unresponsive; to the point that I have to use AssistiveTouch instead of hoping the phone will recongnize my power button. I have tried restoring my phone thinking that it was an issue that was caused by my phone being previously jailbroken, but restoring to factory settings did not fix my problem. I hardly drop my phone and it has never had water damage either. My phone is OUT of warrenty so taking it to Apple would not be a very economical solution for me. If anyone else is experiencing these issues please respond and if you have found a way to fix it let me know.

Your iphone 5 has some hardware problem. I think that phone has short the power switch by draining of water or moister or any another cause. You can refer that phone at any iphone repairing center. You must say them to servicing the power switch by any iso chemicals then it will work 100% . Because i'm also mobile repairing technician in my oun mobile center. Any way best of luck.

  • Where can I find cheap funny looking iphone 4 cases? I want like gameboy cases or chocolate bar looking cases or cute little looking cases like makeup kit looking cases or cases that look like realisticly looking real things etc would rather not look on ebay because i hate having to bid unless they have cheap shipping and/or buy now options for someone who sells them in quantities and amazon has cool ones but i would rather not have to spend 20 dollars + on a phone case. Any cheap LEGIT/RELIABLE websites would be a wonderful help!
  • Power button and home button doesn't work on iPhone 5C? Hi, so a while ago I dropped my phone in water, I took it to a repair shop and they fixed it but when I got it back the power and home button didn't work, I turned on assistive touch so I can use my home button and turn off my phone, now I can't turn it on without using my charger or having someone text me, is there any other way I can turn it on without having to do that?
  • My iPhone keeps making a funny noise? It's sort of lile a 'ping' sound effect, and it happens about 2-3 times a day but its never at the same times. Some days it doesn't even make the noise (RELIEF! Lol) It's so random, and I'm always terrified when it happens. I think it's trying to tell me it's overheatin or something, so I've sent it to my local Apple expert. I just want to know what other people think of it before I get it back.
  • My iPhone 5s is acting all funny? My camera doesn't work, not even for any apps like snapchat or vine. But it works for FaceTime. And I'll sign into YouTube and Tinder all the time then when I exit out of the app and open it again, it signs me out then I have to sign back in. Wtf. What's wrong? I tried everything already (closing apps, restarting it)
