Home button problem in iphone 3g 3.0

After upgrading my iphone 3g to 3.0 software, the home button has become so unresponsive, i have to click it 6-10 times sometimes to awake it. I mean what is it, dont you check the update before making it available to public, i mean its annoying, my 2 other friends have same problem as mine, they are on iphone 3g too. even 3.0.1 behaves the same way. comeon folks, become professional, kindly fix this thing in next firmware release.

I had exactly the same problem - I bought my iphone 3gs last week, upgraded it and had the 'home button' problem. I tried all the fixes - restarting, resetting to factory settings, reloading update, etc. Then, a few days later, it all sorted itself out - no idea what happened, but since then my home button has been working perfectly! I have a feeling the factory reset and reload of update might have been the one that eventually did the trick...but since then, touch wood, it has been working perfectly. I would suggest trying the factory reset and see if that helps...make sure you back up first though!

  • HT1688 iPhone 4 home button problem

    Good afternoon,
    I have an iPhone 4 and it still in good condition but sometimes, the Home button doesn't respond quickly or doesn't respond at all. What to do?

    I seem to have fixed my iPhone 4 home button problems.
    1. Sync phone and back up.
    2. Go back and resync phone but uncheck all the apps you have purchased/downloaded so that your iphone will have no additional apps on it.
    3. Now reset your phone as a NEW PHONE.
    4. When reset as NEW, unplug it and try home button functions. I'll bet they work just fine, like mine did.
    5. Now that you are satisfied you can resync your apps, but be choosey. Re-install only a couple at a time, and test your home button each time. You'll soon find out which of your apps is causing the problem. It's time consuming and irritating, but it certainly works.
    So far - no problems with my selected re-installed apps. My home button works fine.
    However, I recently purchased several photography apps and an emoticon app and that was when the problems appeared to have started.
    So I've been very selective in putting only the apps I want back on ... for now.
    Hope this helps.
    I will report back to tell you if this complicated but effective solution has worked for me.

  • HT1349 The home button on my iPhone 4 is not working.  Does anybody know how I can restore it?

    The home button in my iPhone does not work.  Does anybody know how to restore it?

    If the basics from the User Guide have all been tried (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) and you still have problems, then you've done all the troubleshooting you can do.  You'll need to bring your phone into Apple or an authorized service provider in your area.

  • The home button on my iphone 5 is not working.

    The home button on my iphone 5 is not working, so I'm using assistive touch.  How do I close open apps without double tapping the home button?

    The other possible things you can try would include...
    Inserting the lightning connector and applying a little bit of pressure up under the Home button.
    Some folks have cleaned the Home button with a few drops of isopropic alochol caring to not get it on your screen.  This is only going to get things working again if it has been gummed up through normal use
    If you are still within the one-year warranty or extended it with Apple Care don't try any of these steps just take it to Apple.

  • Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even thoug it

    Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even though the iphone is in warranty.

    iPhones do not have an international warranty.  Warranty is valid only for the country of purchase.  This is most likely because different countries require different iPhone models.  Not reasonable to expect all countries to maintain stock for all models.

  • The home button on my iphone 4 has raised up on one side.

    The home button on my iphone 4 (which is only 4 months old) has raised up on one side, not by lots but it is no longer flush with the case and if you run a finger or nail across it you can feel the edge of it. Is this enough to send it back into apple for fixing? (i am concerned that it could move more epecially once the waranty period is up) it still functions perfectly but when i feel the buttons on my friends iphone 4 phones they are perfectly flush, its just that you expect the phones to be perfect and I feel it should be repaired.  Im not after a new phone but just for the button to be reset into the case.
    Anyhelp?

    If you feel that it is defective then you can make an appointment at the genius bar or call Apple support.  If they determine it to be defective, then they will replace.

  • Why does double-tapping home button on my iphone 5 not show app bar?

    When I double-tap the home button on my iphone 5 it shows a search iphone screen but not the bar with the apps recently used. Why is this? How can I change that?

    Hello blackforestbanker,
    From previous experience in this issue i have found that people are not tapping the home button fast enough twice to be able to pull up the app bar at the bottom.
    While on your home screen try to double click the home button twice pretty quickly. If that dont work try to reset your device with the home and power buttons held in at the same time for about 8 seconds and then when the apple logo comes on the screen release the buttons. When the phone is turned back on then try to double click the home button again an see if that has resolved the issue for you!
    Hope this helps and have a great day!
    Regards,

  • Does anybody know if the iPhone 5 fixes the home button problems?

    I'm still using my iPhone 4, having skipped the iPhone 4S too. But I'm a bit hesitant about upgrading. The new "taller" form factor doesn't seem especially thrilling to me.
    But mainly, I'm always concerned about quality issues in the iPhone.
    For example, on my iPhone 4 I've had "home button" issues. After a certain number of months the home button starts acting weird and single presses often act like double-presses, which is really irritating.
    I had my originally iPhone 4 exchanged by Apple when they saw that happening. But then 7 months later the same thing started happening with the exchange unit they sent me, and I'm stuck with that now. So this seems like a design issue.
    Has this problem been fixed with the iPhone 5? Nobody knows because Apple doesn't talk about stuff like that.

    CoasterFanFL: Sounds like a similar issue. I suspect the spring inside just isn't properly designed to last a long time. I wonder if the iPhone 4S had the same issue. That would be indicative of whether the addressed the issue or not.
    Bandit: This problem typically doesn't start showing up for 6 or 7 months of use. It's annoying to have to buy AppleCare to take care of what is apparently a design flaw. Also, even with AppleCare if I had my iPhone exchanged a 2nd time the same thing would happen again in another 6 months. So it's money down the drain!
    I wish Apple had gone with a non-hardware haptic feedback soft button, like they do on many Android phones. Less hardware to break!
    Thanks,

  • HT2309 iPhone 4 home button problem

    Good afternoon,
    I have an iPhone 4 and it still in good condition but sometimes, the Home button doesn't respond quickly or doesn't respond at all. What to do?

    Back up the device to iTunes or iCloud, then try a restore..99% of the time it will work..however, if you still have an issue then you can get a replacment device from Apple, because if restoring the device as new does not fix the issue it is a hardware problem. If your phone is still in hardware coverage they will replce it. You get 90 days of Free tech support and 1 yr. hardware Warranty when you Purchase the device. So hardware coverage goes from the Date of Purchase.
