The Home Button on my iPhone 3GS is working off and on.

Sometimes when I press the Home Button it works immediately.
Other times it does not work at all,or I have to press it three or four times,and quite hard,to get to the next screen.
It is an intermittent problem but is not happening more often.
Any advice on how this can be resolved?

Hi, I had the same thing with my iphone 4 not so long ago. It had a problem and i sent it to the apple store (it had lesss than a year so i didn't pay). If you send it and you have apple care then they would send you a new one for free.

    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.

  • 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.

  • The home button of my iPod is not working and it got 1 year of warranty if they give me a new iPod can I take another color ?

    The home button of my iPod is not working and it got 1 year of warranty and going to Apple store, my iPod is silver color. if they give me a new one can I pick another color ?

    No, they will give you a refurbished (but basically a brand-new) iPod touch in the same color. I have the Silver as well...sort of kicking myself for not waiting for the Blue one to come back in stock.

  • My home button on my iPhone 3gs is very hard what should i do???

    I am having a problem with my iPhone 3gs home button it is very hard and misses a lot what should i do??? Pls advice.

    If it is still in warrenty i would just take it to the apple store and let them look at it. However if not i could recommend going on amazon and getting an iPhone repair kit and opening the iPhone up to reposition the home button in the phone which may fix your problem.

  • The home button on my iPhone 4 gets stuck in when pressed

    Periodically when i am using my iphone and i press the home button it get stuck in and is very difficult to get back out. This doesnt happen every time i use the home button but it is happening more and more frequently. It started happening about a month before the iphone warranty ran out and i didnt think much of it. However now the iphone has been out of warranty for a month it seems to be happening more and more frequently. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix my iphone?

    Even though it is out of warranty, take it into a nearby Apple Store (or email/call Apple) and ask somebody about it. It may be you are pressing to hard, or there is a fault inside the button which is causing it to get stuck sometimes.

  • The home button on my iPhone 5s is sunk in?

    i never noticed that the home button was sunk in until I used my friends iPhone 5s, I still have warranty on my phone, will Apple replace it?

    Take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs checkfits function.  If it is bad, they can advise on repair/replacement.
