IPhone 4 buttons not working.  HELP!

I live in Spain and I've had an iPhone 4 for a little over 2 years.  All of the buttons on my phone no longer work except the home button.  How can I get this fixed?  Is this something that Apple will fix if I don't have Apple Care?  How much would it cost to fix if I took it to the Apple store. 
I ask because a friend of mine got a brand new phone when his home button was broken and it was outside of the guarantee.

Out of warranty replacement is the Euro equivalent of $149

  • IPhone 5 Lock Button not working help?

    I brought an iPhone 5 in October 2012, and my lock screen button is not working. Sometimes, my phone does not turn on or turn off  unless I press the button 3 or 4 times. I did not buy apple care and I don't think I am under warrenty anymore so will they still be able to replace my phone?
    Thanks!

    You can make an appointment and they will examine the phone. Since you are out of warranty, then more than likely they would not make a warranty replacement, but you can purchase an out of warranty replacement for a price less than the cost of a brand new phone. In the US, the replacement cost for the iPhone 5 is $269US.

  • IPhone Home Button not working after upgrade to ios 5.1.1

    Hey everyone,
    I'm pretty sure this is a software failure due to the symtoms the iPhone is showing;
    0 - the home button does not work at all when the phone is turned on and running ios 5.1.1, well it used to work okay when i had ios 5.0.1, I upgraded to 5.1.0 and started working randomly, upgraded to 5.1.1 to see if it was fixed with no luck at all.
    1 - When locked the screen does sometime light up, like when you press the home button and don't slide the unlock button. but it does not exit apps anytime, I mean it doesn't act like it's pressing the home button randomly but only when the phone is locked.
    2- The button does work perfectly when iOS is not running: I can get in and get out of recovery and dfu mode at will, that wouldn't be possible if the button were broke.
    3- what else? Oh yea, not really a symtom: Tried the 'home button calibration' several times.
    4 - It's not filthy, since I really cleaned it thoroughly with a powerful tiny nozed air blower I got and gave a rubbing alcohol treatment too.
    5 - when I shut the phone down it instantly turns back on, I can interrupt the turning on for turning the phone into dfu mode (i'm sure It's in DFU mode because the tinyumbrella log monitor tells me)
    I'm now using the 'soft' home button that goes in the accesibility options, but hey, I didn't pay a ton of money for a phone that the same Apple is gonna break down.
    It's out of warranty and I don't have apple stores where I live.
    I'd downgrade to 5.0.1 in a snap if I could but I'm not into jailbreaking, so the shsh blob thingie is not a possibility.
    Any apple dev around that can give me a workaround?
    thanks a lot in advance
    Added more info ~ 

    I had the same problem with Home button not responding after upgrading from iOS 5.1 to iOS 5.1.1 on an iPhone4.   I solved it but not sure exactly what fixed it.   Here is what I did.
    1.  Took it local Apple store Genius appointment.   They used a special tool and took some lint out of the connector opening.   The Home button started working.   They said even though the phone was out of warranty, I could buy a new replacement one without a contract for $150. 
    2.   The Home button stopped working when I got home.   I got some compressed air in a can and blew the air through the connector to try and clean out more dust.   I now keep the phone with the connector opening facing down in my pocket.   I also struck the phone downward on my hand or other soft surface to force as much dust out as possible.
    3.  The Home button still was intermittent.  I then tried to do a hard reset by holding the power on key and the Home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds.  This doesn't work if the Home button doesn't respond.
    4.  I connected the iphone to Itunes via the USB to sync the phone.  While connected, I did a Hard Reset by Holding the Power button and Home button simultaneously.  I noticed the Home button responded better when connected to ITUNES via the USB.
    5.  I did a backup of the iphone4 by highlighting the iphone 4 while connected to ITunes and right mouse click and selecting BACKUP.    I was prepared to reset my phone4 in iTUNES and restore it from the backup.
    The phone worked consistently before I had to do this.
    6.  As a last resort which I didn't need to do, I was going to copy all my settings for the iphone by selecting the phone in iTUNES and looking at all the sync settings.   I would then have restored the iphone to original factory settings and then sync the phone using the copied settings.  This would have made sure that the backup didn't include the bug.
    Fortunately, I didn't have to do step 5 and 6.   Things started working after Step 4.  So I don't really know if it was the iOS 5.1.1 upgrade or pure coincidence that the Home button stopped working immediately after the upgrade.

  • IPhone 5 buttons not working after update

    After updating to 7.0.2 yesterday, the home and power button of my iPhone 5 stopped working and they are no more responsive, anyone has an idea? No mean to restore it back to the default settings because iTunes asks me to deactivate the Find my iPhone which I can't access as the buttons are not working.

    Me too. All of the sudden I realized the right hand side of the power button stop responding, only the left side works. I may have to restore back to 7.0

  • IPhone 4s buttons not working

    Hi,
    My phone is freaking out and neither the home button, nor the power/sleep button is responding!  The phone is 'on' all the time so I've plugged it in to save the battery from draining too fast.
    I have looked over various forums and have opened an original iphone app (such as clock) and tried holding the power button down to then hold the home button down to calibrate it but since neither button is working, that method hasn't been effective.
    I have blown around the buttons to blow away dirt to no effect.  I don't think I have anything suitable to wipe it down but maybe there's more suggestions?  It does seem a bit strange that both buttons shouldn't respond at exactly the same time for dirt reasons, though.
    Most of the remedies I've found require being able to access 'settings' but I can't get out of the apps I'm in to be able to access my settings.  I have ios7 so I can use the touch screen to access the 'control panel?' with the various app shortcuts but that's all.
    I'm at a loss so please help me if you can as I use my phone all the time!
    Thanks

    Found somewhere that if you press the power button at the same time as the home button, it'll turn the phone off.  I tried it and it worked.  Turned it back on and everything seems to be fine again!  Hopefully it won't happen again but, if it does, this trick should work and I'll start using the 'assistive touch' feature.

  • Can not update to IOS 6.1.2 on iphone 4 & apps not working - HELP!!

    my iphone 4 says there is an update available to IOS 6.1.2 when i click on "install now" nothing happens! the wording goes faint but no update actually happens! I updated to IOS 6.1.2 on my ipad and noticed that is said "download and install now" but on my iphone it only says "install now" (not sure if this matters) also my facebook and twitter apps no longer work in my iphone 4 and my calender freezes everytime I go to use it! HELP PLEASE!!! Thanks

    The firewall would be in your router.
    I would just keep retrying. The update is first downloaded. Then the update is expanded and then the iPod contacts the Apple server to verify the update. For some reason at that time the iPod can't contact the Apple server.  That has happened to me and it went through after one or two retries.

  • Why is my iPhone home button not working?

    Recent;y my iPhone 4 home button has intermittently stopped going "home" and just stay on the last page selected.  I spoke with an apple customer service person and the said that if the horizontal tray at the bottom of the display could be too full ad that would cause a delay in the home button working. Any suggestions?

    If this has anything to do with software, a back up and restore is always the best option to do! First you will want to create a back up via this link:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414?viewlocale=en_US
    After the back up has been created, if you really want to save your information to the computer than here is a whole list of ways to save your info to a computer:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    After you are comfortable that you saved all of your information, do a system restore back to factory settings! the reason is because if you can prove to apple, that in factory settings that the phone is not operating as expected, so long as your in warranty they will service the product. If you are outside, you should only have to pay either $169 (Canada) $149 (USA) for an iphone 4. It may be a little more expensive for the 4S as it is the newest product. Those same prices apply to a iphone 3G and 3GS

  • Iphone menu button  not working takes several clicks to change menu

    I can push on off button, and keep pushing menu button  and will finally change, but doesn't just click to change anymore. Just started this today, I just got the phone when verizon came out with it in Feb. so is still new. What can I do?

    Just happened or ?  I found this in iphone manual :
    If something isn’t working right, try restarting iPhone, force quitting an app, or resetting iPhone.
    Restart iPhone:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

  • IPhone video button not working

    It snowed in Houston two days ago and I tried to take a video of it on my IPhone 4. I kept pushing on the video button but nothing worked. I found an IPad discussion that said if you had upgraded to OS7 then you needed to slide up and down. Well that didn't work on my IPhone so I tried side to side-low and behold that worked. Why doesn't Apple tell us these things???

    We are just users like you and have no way of knowing why Apple does the things they do.

  • IPhone 4 buttons not working

    I rebooted/reset my iPhone 4 and it is only showing the apple with an empty bar that should be moving the more the phone goes back to its original state. Only it's been frozen for over 8 hours and my on/off button doesn't work soo I can't hold it with the home button to reset it what should I do? Also It doesn't do anything when I plug it in, plu I don't have a PC to connect it to iTunes to see if that would fix it. Any ideas on what to do to fix my phone?

  • Iphone 5 button not working properly

    My iphone 5 only works if I press several times on the left side. Very frustrating. Unsure if phone is still under warranty. Phone was purchased Nov/Dec 2012 from Carphone Warehouse. Will Apple still replace my iphone if faulty hardware? If not what is the cost?

    Take it to Apple for Warranty Service. Until then you can use Assistive Touch. Tap Settings App > General > Assessibilty > Assistive Touch > ON > Device > Lock Screen. This can even be used to turn iPhone OFF. To turn ON, connect to power, charger or USB of computer.
