I have an Iphone 4 with a broken lock button but need to get it through new airport security?
I'm going on holiday in a few days and my Iphone 4 lock button is broken meaning I can't turn the phone on or off with the button. I can turn the phone off with AssistiveTouch but can't turn it back on without plugging it in. New airport security rules is that it's got to be 100% charged and show proof of being able to be switched on or off, does anyone knows what I can do?
I was thinking about leaving the phone to die out and putting it in my suitcase, would this be allowed?
Added (1). Would I be able to ring up Manchester airport and ask?
Yes, you can leave it in you suitcase. The one that security is checking is the one you hold as carry-on.
The new rules apply only to some flights from some airports to the United States. If that does not apply to you, then don't worry about it.
- Will my broken iPhone cause trouble at airport security? Basically I'm on holiday, and a few days ago my iPhone had an accident with the pool. And now the light on the back stays on all the time, and won't switch off. Even when I power off the phone, it is still on. I'm flying from PuntaCana in Doninican Republic to Gatwick. Does anyone think (or know) that my phone will cause me any problems
- Is an iPhone charger going to set off airport security? Just want to know if its going to be a hassle. Don't need to take it, can just buy one there. Anyone know from experience?
- 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.
- IPhone lock button broken. Can turn off but how do i turn it on? The lock button at the top of my iphone is broken, but i have been using it fine as i have turned on 'Assistive Touch' and have been using the white dot that appears on screen. However, I'm worried about turning it off, and surely the white dot will disappeaer when the phone is off, and I will have no way of turning it on? Am I correct in thinking this?
