Can I get Iphone 4 Home Button fixed?

I dropped it in the toilet today...
everything works except the home button. some short circuit?
can i get only the home button fixed without getting a replacement. and about how much will it be?

Apple does not fix devices. They do warranty and out of warranty exchanges.
Since you dropped the phone in the toilet, this would be an out of warranty exchange as water damage is not covered.
Out of Warranty exchange in the US is $199.

Can't get response from home button

Hello, My home button does not respond. I have reset numerous times to no avail. Is this a hardware problem?

It could be. My first iPhone 4 had this problem. I tried resetting, restoring etc but it turned out that it was a hardware fault.
Does the button feel a little soft? What I mean is, has it lost the typical 'click' feeling when you press it? That was what lead me to call Apple support for a new phone...
Apple replaced it for me no worries though.

Is there any way I can get the volume/silent button fixed on my iPhone?

Is there any way I can get the volume/silent button fixed on my iPhone?

More than likely, yes - via a 3rd party repair shop that works on iPhones.
Not by Apple. Apple does not offer a menu of repair services except for replacing the battery when the iPhone is no longer under warranty. If under warranty, the iPhone would be exchanged under warranty for such a problem. Apple also offers an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price, which pays for an exchange at a discounted price off the full retail sales price - a like for like exchange. Same model/color/storage capacity.

My iphone 5 home button can spin an unlimited amount of times. Do I need to buy a replacement or can I fix it?

My warranty expired and I would prefer not to replace it with a non-OEM replacement.

My home button is not working reliably; I would like to know how much it would cost to get it fixed if I have the apple insurance.

Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.

Is it possible to get the iPhone 5s home button on the iPod touch 5g

So I was looking at the iPhone 5s (which I don't plan to buy) and I notices that the home button was different from the one on the ipod touch5g and pre existing models. Is there a way that you can get the 5s home button on an iPod touch 5g because it looks really nice and kinda chrome.

no

Do others have problem with iPhone 4 HOME button? Can anyone advise what can be done?

My iPhone 4 HOME button doesn't respond well and a few other iPhone4 owners I know have the same issue. My phone is a gift brought back from another country. So, I am reluctant to approach my local Reseller as the phone was not purchased from them. I tried o get Apple online support but ended up having to fill in an address form from the country where the phone was bought.
I hope someone can provide me with some advice as my phone warranty is due in about a month.

Restore as new, do not restore from the backup.
Does the problem continue?

My iphone screen has turned black, phone is still on as screen shots can be taken. When home button and power button are held - no apple icon will appear. Please help

My iphone screen has turned black, phone is still on as screen shots can be taken. When home button and power button are held - no apple icon will appear. Please help??

If this iPhone has had the screen replaced previously, possibly LCD Display connector has simply come loose from the Logic Board. Possibly the LCD Display is faulty and the front screen assembly needs to be replaced. If you have Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple. This is handled by Apple with Replacement iPhone 4S.

Verizon iphone. how can i get to the home screen without activating it on a plan

how can i get to the home screen without activating it on a plan

Unless it is a 3rd party cord, there is no cord that just goes from the phone to the wall. However, you will need a cord that connects to the computer and the phone. The device is in recovery mode and you will need to restore it. See this support document for the instructions. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

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.

IPhone 4 home button stuck in the pressed down position

I'm on vacation and my iPhone's home button is stuck in the depressed position. There's pretty high humidity here, higher than back at home. How do I get it unstuck so I can use my phone again?

Your decription of the problem is not clear. Is the Home Button physically pushed down, ie partly under the front screen glass? Or is the Home Button in normal position but seems to be electronically firing off presses on its own?
You seem to be hinting at Liquid Damage (humidity). Keep your iPhone safe and dry.
