iPhone sleep/power button broken

[oddsareimdrunk]

I recently dropped my phone and the top button will not work.

Is there any other way to put the iPhone into sleep mode?

Thanks in advance

Your iPhone should go to sleep after a few minutes (which you can set in the Settings app).

I changed the auto-sleep to 1 minute, I was just wondering if there was another solution...

No other way if not JB besides fixing the button.

If you jailbreak, you can use Sleep or Sleep to Lock. It depends on why you want this. Is your Sleep button broke?

Surely sleep to lock only works if the button is not broken?
I have the same problem. I have read about an sleep.app and a lock.app , but can't seem to find it.

Also, does anyone know how to set the phone in DFU mode with a non-working sleep button?
