Iphone 6 home button sensor not working
I just got the iphone 6 in the mail and I've been having trouble setting up the fingerprint lock and reachability option. My home button sensor doesn't seem to work. I had my thumb over the fingerprint sensor for 5 minutes and it didn't read at all.. the screen remained idle. I tried everything. (I let my thumb sit over the button for minutes without moving, covered the ring, and even tried pressing down out of aggravation). And when I turned on the accessibility option for reachability. I double tapped my home button and nothing happened. Is my phone defected or am I doing something wrong?
Hi,
I had the same problem and after many hours of work was confirmed to be a hardware problem (according to the Apple technical support).
I have sent it back.
Did you ever resolve your issue?

I have bought a IPhone 4 from Malaysia, my home button is not working. I want to replace the phone under warranty but all service centres mention that its country specific and I need to get it replaced only at malaysia. Can anyone guide me what to do????
The iPhone warranty is not international and as you purchased in
Malaysia the warranty is only valid in Malaysia
You could try taking to an iPhone Authorised service provider
in India but there have been many similar posts to yours
and I am not aware of them assisting with an iPhone from
outside India -

The home button is not working on my iphone 5 - is there a way to troubleshoot that issue?
the home button is not working on my iphone 5, its does click and acts normal but doe not do what it is supposed to do
You have identified the problem. If you have Warranty or AppleCare coverage, make Genius reservation and take or send to Apple for resolution. Troubleshoot. When iPhone 5 is open, the home button contacts are present right there. With volt meter placed on home flex you can see if pressing home button completes the circuit. You can bridge the dock home button contacts and see if it actually causes response in the iPhone. If not dock or its contacts are faulty or logic board is faulty.

HT4623 My iPhone 4 shut off and will not turn on. My home button does not work. Any suggestions?
My iPhone 4 worked fine last night. When I woke up this morning, it had shut off and will not turn back on. I looked up the HOME+SLEEP key solutions, but my home button does not work. Any suggestions?
Try a reset: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

Make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and do an out of warranty replacement for $149 USD, or use a third party repair site such as http://www.iresq.com, or replace it yourself, http://www.ifixit.com.

I have restored a lot of times and i had calibrated my iphone a lot of times too.I have heard from multiple friends who have Iphone 4 who have done this lastest update and have all had problems.
I think I will wait to update mine.
Try the above help and if that doesn't work then check on the Apple website -
Phone 4 home button does not work, iPhone 4 home button does not work
Phone 4 home button does not work. I tried to put it off and on, but to no avail. Tried updating, still nothing.
No magic solutions for a hardware problem. You'll need to bring your phone to Apple for replacement ($149), or find a 3rd party to fix your phone (which will forfeit all future support on that phone, warranty or otherwise, from Apple)

Home button is not working sinds ios 5.1.1 update
I bought my iPad 2 2 weeks ago and everything was working fine. I dit an update of the software and my home button is not working anymore. Could someone please help me out? Thanx in advance
Try to recalibrate your home button.
Step 1) – The very first thing you will need to do is launch a stock iOS app like the Calendar, Stocks, YouTube etc.
Step 2) – Once the stock iOS app of your choice has been launched you will need to hold the power button (located on the top of your iOS Device) until the Slide To Power Off toggle appears.
Step 3) – As soon as you see the Slide To Power Off toggle appear you will need to quickly hold the home button until this toggle disappears.
Step 4) – When it does disappear you will have successfully recalibrated your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad’s home button. -
