Hey everyone. As the title says my sleep/wake button is stuck. My phone is 20 days out of warranty
so I'd have to pay 150 bucks to get it replaced. I'm hoping that the release of the iphone 5 will be soon, so I'd rather not pay to have this phone fixed for another month or 2 of use. I was going to use the trick where you take the back plate off and use a piece of paper between the button and the sensor, but i don't think there is a screwdriver that small in existance
I used the accessibility options to lock my phone via touch commands and i'm fine with that, but a question i have is, i can hold that lock command to turn the phone off as i would if the button worked, but i'm afraid that if i do that, i won't be able to turn the phone on by just a touch command. I'm constantly and obsessively monitoring my battery life trying for all i'm worth to have it on a charger when it doesn't need to be by my side so i won't have to face that problem. can anyone with an iphone 4 that works correctly try this and see if you are able to turn the phone back on without the button? or should i just keep doing what i'm doing (not letting the phone die in the first place)
