How to disable lock button in iPhone 4?

My lock button is very touchy because of a new case I got and I want to know if I can disable it without taking apart my phone? Please and thanks!

It's hardware, not software so no.

Take the phone out of the case, and place a small piece of scotch tape over the lock switch and place back in the case. I had an iPhone that had a loose lock switch and this worked like a charm.

1. Disconnect all power cables from your iPhone. If your iPhone is plugged into your computer, unmount it so it can safely be disconnected before you remove it from the docking station.
2. Hold the sleep/wake button down and push the red slider across the screen to power the iPhone down. The iPhone is at much lower risk for damage while you are cleaning it if it is off. Allow it to turn off completely.
3. Dampen the corner of the microfiber cloth with distilled water. Do not soak it. Rub the damp corner on the sleep/wake button on the iPhone to remove the grime. Examine it to see if it is clean. Repeat until the grime is gone. Clean the rest of the buttons and outside of the iPhone the same way.
4. Wipe away any extra moisture with the dry part of the microfiber cloth. Power the iPhone back on.

I'm Also Agreed With Nathan you HAve To Place A Small Scotch Tape And Check Back In Case Hope IT WIll FIXED

  • Is it possible to replace the home button and the lock screen button on a iPhone? I've had my iPhone for about 2 months now, and the buttons are starting not to work. Besides the buttons my iPhone is in perfect condition. My phone carrier is straight talk, from Walmart. They don't offer insurance or a warranty or anything like that. So I was wondering if it was possible to replace these buttons?
  • 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.
