Turning on iPhone without power button?

Okay, so, occasionally when my iPhone dies, I have to manually turn it back on (don't ask why) with ONLY the power button. So recently, my power button got jammed because of the "flex cable" or something like wearing down. Now, this has happened two times to me. The first time, I pressed the home button for a long while. Then, the following day, my mother pressed the home button (once), and, miraculously, it turned on. Now, this is the second time it's happened. I haven't tried my mom yet, because that was just a coincidence. WHAT DO I DOOO?

Don't let it run down, I actually haven't turned off my iphone in 2 years, no reason to ever shut it off.

Threw it and buy samsung
