Can you disable the home button?

My Ipod will close apps and go to the home screen for no reason. Can you disable the home button/function to prevent this from happening?

Step 1: Open a stock iPhone app. e.g. Apples Stocks, Weather, SMS, Email etc.
Step 2: Press and hold the power button until the swipe to power off screen appears.
Step 3: Let go of the iPhone's power button
Step 4: Press and hold the iPhone's home button. Do not let go until the power off screen disappears.
And that's it, your home button is recalibrated and should hopefully now be more responsive.
This seemed to make it better, but not fixed.

Can you disable the mute button your ear does not mute your phone conversations?

My ear or face keeps muting phone conversations inadvertently. Is there a way to disable the mute button?

The proximity sensor above the earpiece should turn the screen off when the phone is placed near your ear. If you have a case, remove it and see how it works.

Can you disable the front buttons on Convoy phone

Even when phone is locked, when phone is bounced around in my pocket the keys on the front get pushed enough to dissable "lock" and people get multiple messages sent from me. I would like to totally turn off the buttons on the exterior part of phone.

Turn off IR reception
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, click General, and then click Advanced.

Is there a Way to lock apps or disable the home button?

I often allow my 16 month old to play toddler games on my iPhone. He knows how to slide his finger to unlock the phone and he loves pressing and holding the home button to activate Siri so he can talk to her! LOL! I am worried that he will accidently delete or move an app to another screen by accident so is there a way to prevent that from happening. Also while he plays his games, he likes to press the home button which closes him out of his game. Is there a way to disable the home button so he can just stay within his toddler games?

You can use Guide Access to restrict your child to using a single app. See:

My apps freeze and I can't push the home button to get out of them.

My apps freeze and I can't push the home button to get out of them.

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

My new iPhone 6 plus just went to a black screen and will not turn back on. If you hit the home button for siri to come on it still works, and if you plug it into the wall it makes the vibrate noise. The screen just won't turn on.

I was looking up a song on the internet, and my internet was being slow, so i was going to the settings to turn internet/wifi off so i could use data. When i did that the screen just went completely black. I didnt know what happened so i plugged it into a circuit into the wall to see if it needed charging. It made the buzz noise when i plugged it into the charger, and siri still works if you hold the home button down. I don't know what to do to get it to turn back on... If anyone knows what to do please help. thanks !

In the latest version of Firefox, I can't find the Home button

In my latest version of Firefox, I can't find the Home button, even when I try to customize the toolbars.

You can find the toolbar Home button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar.<br />
If you do not see that button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.<br />
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
You can drag the Home button from its current position at the right to the position at the left of the location bar if you want that button in its old position.

How can I disable the Voicemail button on an iPhone 4

How can I disable the Voicemail button on an iPhone 4 or
if that is not possible can i programme it to dial my own phone rather than my carrier's Voicemail box?

No, it's not possible to disable that button and no, it's not possible to reprogram it to anything else.

Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up every time an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button?

Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up everytime an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button? This is killing my battery, but also is kinda the whole point of the notification center in my mind.

This is something I've been wondering. I am a bit like you, I like being able to have a glance at emails or Facebook updates without having to log in, and I think it would be great to be able to turn off the notification switching the screen on, especially for emails as I do get a lot, and Facebook, but I somehow doubt it is possible.
I am currently monitoring how much this eats up my battery charge. On a normal day, after an overnight charge, I would probably still have 30%-40% left when I leave work in the evening. Today, I was down to 48% by lunchtime, where I've usually got a good 60-70% left... Might have to turn email notifications off on lock screen until it's possible to have them appearing in the list without flashing me...

Can you Disable the emergency call (911) or change the number.

Can you Disable the emergency call (911) or change the number. When my phone is locked I keep calling it when the phone is in my pocket.
Even if I could change the number that would help but I think 911 is starting to hate me.

Hi Evtek,
I'm afraid that there does not appear to be any way to disable the autocomplete of the LabVIEW combo box. If this is a real problem the best suggestion I could give you would be to try the .net combo box. This does allow you to disable the autocomplete mode although obivously the programming would be slightly more complex than the built in combo box.
Otherwise you could use the update value on every key and use a different event to trigger the movement or if it isnt the enter key that is pressed do nothing in the event case.

James Mc

Can you disable the camera from the lock screen? iOS8.0.2

I have a brand new iPhone 6, updated to iOS 8.0.2 and my friends like to steal my phone and take HUNDREDS of photos and that takes up a lot of space. And my question is: can you disable the camera option on the lock screen only. I know you can do it with restrictions but I don't want to loose full camera options. Just from the lock screen. Thanks!

I agree with the don't let them steal your phone part. But these friends aren't the friends that they sound like. Plus, this wasn't very helpful. But thank you for the "response"

Can you disable the battery or not allow it to charge even if it is pluged in?

Can you disable the battery or charging function even if the laptop is pluged in to a power outlet? Is there any internal switch?

Your battery will remain healthy - and discharge a bit - even when you're plugged into mains. If you're going to run primarily of mains, you should disconnect your MBP about every two weeks and allow it to drain down to about 30-40% and then allow it to recharge - this will keep the ions in the battery 'moving'.
Most of the time you just needn't worry about the battery - just use it thoughtfully.

How can I disable the previous button in the first page and the next button in the last page?

Hi all,
I have created a new skin for a webhelp by modifying the layout and the buttons. However, I am not able to find a way where in we can
disable the previous button ini the first page of the webhelp and hte the next page in the last page of the webhelp. If both the next and previous button is visibile in the first and last page, it is sort of misguiding the user.
I am using Robohelp 9.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Parag

I think you are mixing Previous and Next in a browse sequence and the Previous and Next that you get in the browser itself.
In a browse sequence, they are automatically disabled at the start and finish. When in the first topic in the sequence only Next will be enabled, when in the last topic only previous will be enabled.
Previous and Next in the browser are working on the topics your user has viewed which is not the same thing.
