Sleep button not working

[MacPhil5]

Hi, not sure there is a solution to this problem…

I basically use my iPhone as an iPodTouch (with more features ), so it's activated, jailbroken (and one of these days it might be unlocked…). The trouble is that the sleep button never worked. The only way I can restart the iPhone completely is by waiting for the battery to empty itself. I guess I voided my warranty, and even if I viriginize the iPhone, I cannot explain to Apple how I know that a button I'm not supposed to have used is actually dead…

This is not a big big problem, but I just wondered if it would be possible to create an app that would restart the iPhone, or that would simulate some input from the sleep button. Any thoughts? Thanks a lot!

Did the sleep button worked before you unlocked the iPhone? If it worked before, than it's a software issue which will call for a restore.

The sleep button never worked once I had activated the iPhone (using AppTap). And prior to activating it, I had no way to check the button.

So I'm sure it's not the unlock, but I'm not sure it's not the unconventional activation. Was this issue caused by some non-iTunes activations before?
