Black screen and Home button not working !
Hey guys,
Here's a little background to my iPhone :
I've been using an iPhone 4 for about a year now and i'm pretty impressed with it. Recently though, my home button stopped working. The only way you could get it to function is to press the button really really hard. I dint replace the button. My iPhone is jailbroken, so now I have "shake for home button" on my iPhone.
And now the main problem :
My iPhone just went blank all of a sudden. Usually when this happens, I try syncing it with my laptop ( I sometimes use black magic ! ) and somehow it boots back up again. But this time, nothing ! I tried calling my phone and I could actually hear the caller tone ( sometimes it came as a busy tone and also as "this phone is not reachable") . I tried looking online for a solution and almost everywhere I looked, everyone told me to 'hold the power button.. blah blah', yeah i know the drill. BUT MY HOME BUTTON ISNT WORKING !! So here's my plea to all the iPhone hardware experts out there, PLEASE SAVE ME AND MY iPHONE !
Thanks in advance !
Cheers !

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT1212 ipad mini is frozen and home button not working
my ipad mini home button is frozen and will not turn off. I have tried holding the home button and of/off button for more than a minute and will not respond or shutdown.
If the home button is not working, then the best option is a visit to an Apple store genius bar to have the techs check it out.

Sounds like Recovery mode times out before the download is complete. Try the following method

Use the Step 5 update using iTunes instructions but download the iOS 8.2 firmware. Note that if you try to restore to earlier than iOS 8.2 you will only get errors -
Assistive touch, lock button, and home button not working!
I have an iphone 4 that was new as of this past August. My lock button stopped working so I got the assistive touch. But now my home button and assistive touch doesn't work so I am unable to use my phone. I am also unable to turn it off or lock it. Help is appreciated. Thanks
A broken home and lock button is indeed a big problem. Definitely set your phone never to automatically lock itself. When you are at home, you ca turn of the automatic lock and set it to 1 minute so you can save battery. As long as you are at home (or anywhere you feel comfortable doing this) you can wake your phone by plugging it in to charge. When you can't acess a charger, but want your phone to wake, you will need to schedule reminders. If your phone ever locks and you have no reminders set, get somebody to send you a text.
Please keep in mind these are all very temporary fixes made to help you last as long as it takes to get a replacement phone as soon as possible.
GOOD LUCK! -
My iPhone 4 wont turn on, It wont go passed the charging icon and then when I take the charger out it says it needs charge. Its not the charger as iv tried several and holding lock and home button doesnt work please help!!!!!
Hello there, Conorjl7.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some good, practical steps for troubleshooting issues with charging:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Particularly:
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

I bought an iPhone 4 less than a year ago, then one day the home button randomly stopped working, I bought the warranty so I decided to call in and see what was wrong with it. The girl said that restoring the phone would correct the problem which it did. But it is only a temporary fix, it happens more often now. So I was meaning to call in soon, but the other day my phone fell out of my pocket IN CASE from a foot height and cracked the screen. I nearly threw up. All the years I have had a phone I have never cracked or broken one, strongest screen my ***. Anyway, if I contact them again now will they fix the home button problem? or will they say that the cracked screen is obviously the cause of the home button not working? which it is not!! I don't care about the screen being cracked its not on the actual screen just on the side so its irrelevant to me. Plus I heard it is outrageosly pricey to replace.
Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

IPod touch 5th gen. Home button stuck and power button not working! Please help!
I have an iPod 5th Generation and the home button is jammed down! It felt sticky earlier but now it's stuck down. I used it when the home button wasn't working and had to use my notifications to change from app to app (as I didn't know about assistive touch). I turned it off, but now the power button is no longer responsive! The button isn't stuck, but it doesn't work anymore. It was working fine before, but now it won't respond. Please help!

Myi iphone4 microphone not working and the home button not work after IOS6 updat
Myi iphone4 microphone not working and the home button not work after IOS6 updat
Did you try another restore and this time not to restore from a backup and see if that makes a difference? This is what Apple would tell you to do next based on my iphone 5 fiasco.
Make sure all your data is available on your computer for manual syncing later.
Since you did the hard reset I assume that means your home button isn't broken only that it got frozen before. Were you able to get the Apple logo after the reset? Did it boot?
And you are using iTunes 10.7?
I'm just trying to help get you going. -

Hi
I have an iPod touch 4th generation and the home button isn't working. It's not the normal issue where it's stuck, or it won't function because you can't press it. The home button on my iPod is visible, as in the black button has been removed and I can see the tiny circular home button, (if you've ever seen the inside the iPod). When I press the tiny circular button, it doesn't work. Circuitry issues, maybe? If anyone could help, I'd be so grateful.
