My sleep/lock button on top of my iPhone 4 is broken so I can no longer lock my phone without waiting for the autolock to kick in. Unfortunately my phone is out of warranty and I am not able to upgrade my phone until september which means 7 months of frustration.
Does anyone know of an app that allows you to instantly lock the screen?! I have found some that lock documents etc but not the phone itself.
thanks!
iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1
Under the accessibility menu there is an option that you can have to lock the screen manually. Go to settings>general>accessibility>assistive touch. Turn that on. It gives you an annoying white dot that you can use to lock the screen without having to wait for auto lock. I have this problem and because my phone is out of 12month warranty Apple are asking for £120 to replace the phone, as apparently this is not a fixable problem.
This is for UK owners
If you need a repair for your iPhone etc, buttons or screens. Search for iPhone-surgery.co.uk
It's £30 for a power button replaced including return delivery.
I have the same issue and mine will be going this week for repair.
