What's happening to my iphone 5?

I don't remember doing anything to it and don't think I got water on it or anything, but for a few days, all of a sudden the button on the top doesn't work very well and I have to press it like 5 times and sometimes hold it for a while to get the screen to turn off. Also, just now, I went to open my phone and you know how you have to swipe right to unlock, well it wouldn't let me swipe it. Like I tried to swipe it and it just wouldn't go. And there's nothing visibly wrong with the screen. I've had this phone for about 2 years. Why is this stuff happening?

Maybe open it up and have a look? You could take it to a phone repair shop and ask them to check whether everything is in order inside. Stuff like the button at the top can be easily replaced if it's worn out or something.

I have no idea about the swiping. Maybe check apple forums?

It's a problem that happens on the 4 and the 5. I would take it into apple and see what they can do for you.

  • What's happening to my iPhone and his? So I set up my own account on iTunes synced it to my laptop, and my dads friend ask me of I could do his, that was fine set it up in HIS own account. So mine and his are different BUT he keeps some of my texts and gets all the new apps I download and music. He said to my dad he doesn't know half the stuff going on with his phone he just goes with the flow. But how come he's getting some of my messages? That's weird I don't want him knowing what I'm sending -.
