How to turn off an iPhone 3GS without using the power-button?
Hello there,
This is my first post here, so I apologize in advance if I missed something. It's a rather practical question.
Is there a way to turn off the iPhone (3GS in my case) without using the power button? The button works physically - I can press it (and it feels normal) - but to no effect. Since I don't want to open it while it is still powered on, I wonder if there is an alternative to waiting until the battery runs out and the phone turns off by itself.
Thanks,
Paul
Is this a good question?

Thanks alot for the swift reply! Worked for me, still I'm wondering if there is an other way in case the buttons gone for good.

it's usually the plastic part not the flex that is damaged..splits where it screws on to bezel. You could replace that part..not too hard to do..?

Go to settings-general-accessibility-assistive touch and turn it on.That will put a little black box with a white circle somewhere on the screen of your device. This little box will be visible no matter what you are doing or looking up on your device. When you click on the circle you will see a number of things that you are able to do. In this case you want to click on device. Again you will see a bunch of different options to choose from.You'll want to click on the lock screen icon but don't just click on it hold it down until you see the slide to power off at the top of your device just as you would if your able to turn your phone off with a working power button. If you do this and all it does is turn the screen off then you took your finger off the icon to early. Just push the home button to turn the screen back on and repeat the steps above.This time just make sure that you don't lift your finger off the lock screen icon to early. In order to turn it back on all you have to do is plug it into the charger.
