My Power/Auto-Lock button on my iPhone 4 is broken?
About an hour ago, the lock button on my iPhone 4 completely stopped working. About 4 hours ago, I noticed the button becoming difficult to press and sticking, but it worked. Now it does not work at all so I enabled the AssistiveTouch from my settings. I was just wondering if I can replace the button somehow? Take it to an Apple store and have it fixed. If so how much would that cost?
I DO NOT WANT TO REPLACE MY PHONE. DO. NOT. My mother recently got her phone replaced and she told the store to transfer her pictures and contacts to her new phone. But they only transferred HALF of her contacts and photos. I DO NOT want that happening to me. I have over 1,100 photos and lots of precious notes saved. I have had this phone for about a year and 8 months, and this is the first problem I have had with it. Maybe because I've had it so long the button just wore out?
I have now become paranoid that my home button will break also and I won't have any way to get into my phone. If possible, could you tell me a way to access my phone if both buttons break?
Questions to be answered-
-Can the Auto-Lock button be replaced?
- If so, how much does it cost?
- If both my Auto-Lock and Home buttons are broken, how would I be able to access my phone? (Without plugging my phone in to charge it. What if I'm not anywhere near an outlet or charger? Like at a County Fair, or Sightseeing and I want to take a picture or respond to a text?)
Please ANSWER! And thank you
Just use assistive touch. It does everything that the home and lock buttons do. Go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch.
Hope this helps. Definitely a cheaper option than a new phone
- 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.
